Hi guys because Doom3World is down and can't really ask this there so i'm asking here, i must say i did tried hard to find a answer by myself before coming here, by reading all the files i could and searching google for any clue, but alas i didn't found anything i even browsed the TDM wiki to see if something there could help me.

 

Ok here is the question, i made a new (basic) mainmenu.gui to replace the doom 3 one i was able to make play and quit buttons and make them interactive, quit does what is supposed, but now i don't know how to make the play button load the level i want.

 

I tried set "cmd" "loadGame" ; but it didn't seemed to work, i also tried set "cmd" "map mapname" ; but this didn't worked either i even thought about using the runScript cmd to call a script that loads a level but didn't saw any command available on the script reference for that.

 

So this comes to, how can i load a level using a button on the menu gui?

6th Venom's menu has this functionality as I recall:

I'll look at the code when I get a chance.

Thanks nbohr1more for the reply that helped me! :)

 

Seeing the 6th Venom's menu on the gui editor i was able to pinpoint the code i needed, and now i feel like a moron because that was so logic that i thought "why didn't i saw this before!" . :blush:

 

The code to start a level from a button on a gui is, set "cmd" "startgame mymapname", you need to include the folder name with myfolder/mymapname if it is not on the root maps folder.

 

 

 

edit : Hum it works but with a catch, it does not start the map right away, like map mymap does, it first plays the doom 3 intro "UAC is the largest corporation...etc etc" then goes to the map, is also strange that i didn't found any mention on the "startgame" command anywhere, on the command or script reference. It does work so it must be defined in some place perhaps is hardcoded?

      Query: when was the last time a zombie in a video game was unnerving or scary to you? I'm chipping away at my anniversary submission and I've been trying to gather opinions on the subject. I'm perfectly capable of lighting them well, changing their sfx, and creating effective ambience, but I'm worried that zombies at their core are just too overdone to be an effective payoff to the tension I'm creating.

      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.
