TDM 2.02 released!

[Springheel]

TDM 2.02 is now available!

 

Thanks for your patience everyone...hope it is worth the wait!

 

This version includes a number of new features and bugfixes for The Dark Mod. Several exploits have been dealt with, such as a fix for the bunny-hop exploit by SteveL, and new behaviour that allows AI to notice if you blatantly grab onto a door they're in the process of closing, by grayman.

 

A fix of a sound bug that was causing sound to drop off too quickly in large spaces (resulting in AI frequently ignoring noise arrows and calls for help) has also been fixed by grayman, and a new AI Hearing slider has been added to the main menu.

 

New Horizon has adjusted our blackjacking detection so that players are less likely to fail by being too close to an AI.

 

AI may notice that they've been pickpocketed, and will add that to their evidence of an intruder if you cause a mild alert while snatching something from their belt.

 

In addition, Springheel has added a new AI and vocal set (acted by Goldwell) for mappers to play with: The Moors.

 

For a more detailed look at the changes and improvements, see here: http://bugs.thedarkmod.com/changelog_page.php?version_id=65

 

To get the new update, simply run tdm_update.exe

And to celebrate this glorious release Melan and I will be releasing the much anticipated Penny Dreadfull 2 in short order.

A new feature for mappers I'm excited about, which the changelog buries, certain path nodes now trigger their targets.

Map authors might also be interested in having AI use switches and levers to operate doors.

 

See the "Door Controllers" section of this wiki page.

Thanks Obs, but credit where it's due: Zbyl wrote the patch, I just checked and merged it. The updated documentation I do claim credit for
