We have RSS for news, wiki, but not missions?

The website has several RSS feeds available for news readers. But today I was looking to include a feed of missions but didn't find one surprisingly. On the mission page, there are three feeds, one of the mod news, comments on news, and comments on Missions which has never seen an update, since that page doesn't get comments.

 

The main news doesn't mention mission releases.

 

Going to the wiki mission page, there's an RSS feed of wiki changes, but it includes changes to any/all wiki pages, not just the missions page. I suppose it would be possible to setup Yahoo pipes to filter out changes to the wiki other than the missions page and provide an RSS feed of that.

 

There are a dozen people who have the forums set to follow the "Fan Missions" forum section, presumably to get an email and watch for the usual new mission template.

 

But it seems logical to enable an RSS feed for the missions page, so new releases would pop up for folks along with their news, blogs, weather, Dark Radiant updates, and whatever else they keep in their news readers, wouldn't it?

The complication here is that the mission list is populated "out-of-band" directly from the mission DB, so the site isn't alerted to update the RSS feed. I had a brief look into how the mission list is populated to get it to work on the new server, but I'll probably have to dig around and see if there is an easy way/hook to update the RSS.

This works: http://page2rss.com/...c2e880bab385743

 

I found it when I first posted this, set it up on the missions page, no false alerts and it just popped up the new one, score!

 

Edit: What worked initially now fails to update.

      Has anyone had any luck with textures from Polyhaven? Their OpenEXR normal maps seem too washed out and give incorrect shading in the engine.

      I tried to upscale the TDM logo video. First try:

      briefing_video.mp4 You can test it ingame by making a copy of the core tdm_gui.mtr and place it in your-tdm-root/materials/ , then edit line 249 of that file into the location where you placed the new briefing.mp4 file.
      What I did was I extracted all the image files, then used Upscayl to upscale the images using General photo (Real-Esrgan) upscale setting and then turn it back into a video.
      I might have to crop it a bit, the logo looks smaller on screen (or maybe it's actually better this way?). My video editor turned it into a 16:9 video, which I think overal looks better than 1:1 video of original.

      Finally got round to publishing a tutorial on baking normal maps in Blender, since most of the ones we have are inaccessible or years out of date.
