Is there a console command to finish the current level?

The reason being that because of my low end laptop, some missions have unplayable framerate. I'd like them to be marked as 'done' in the menu so I dont end up replaying them by mistake.

 

Also, is menu saving more reliable (ie less corrupted saves) than quicksaving?

 

Thanks.

Marking missions done: I don;t think there's a console command but you could edit the file that keeps track. It's in your darkmod folder: fms/mission.tdminfo

 

You'll see that missions you've completed have a "mission_completed_1" "1" line, which I guess you could add manually. Example:

tdm_missioninfo quinn
{
    "last_play_date"    "2015-02-22"
    "mission_completed_1"    "1"
    "mission_loot_collected_1"    "29843"
}

Menu saving and quicksave use the same savegame method, and personally I've never had a corrupt save so they are fine -- except apparently when the computer is struggling, given that you are having a problem with it. In that case, saving from the menu might help because most of the game activity is suspended so whatever's causing you a problem will probably be on hold.

 

Have you posted in the tech support forum? I don't know the details but I believe there are things you can do to improve the experience on low spec machines, for example by forcibly reducing texture quality.

      Does anyone actually use the Normalise button in the Surface inspector? Even after looking at the code I'm not quite sure what it's for.

      Turns out my 15th anniversary mission idea has already been done once or twice before! I've been beaten to the punch once again, but I suppose that's to be expected when there's over 170 FMs out there, eh? I'm not complaining though, I love learning new tricks and taking inspiration from past FMs. Best of luck on your own fan missions!

      I wanna play Doom 3, but fhDoom has much better features than dhewm3, yet fhDoom is old, outdated and probably not supported. Damn!
      Makes me think that TDM engine for Doom 3 itself would actually be perfect.

      Maybe a bit of advice ? In the FM series I'm preparing, the two main characters have the given names Toby and Agnes (it's the protagonist and deuteragonist, respectively), I've been toying with the idea of giving them family names as well, since many of the FM series have named protagonists who have surnames. Toby's from a family who were usually farriers, though he eventually wound up working as a cobbler (this serves as a daylight "front" for his night time thieving). Would it make sense if the man's popularly accepted family name was Farrier ? It's an existing, though less common English surname, and it directly refers to the profession practiced by his relatives. Your suggestions ?

      Looks like the "Reverse April Fools" releases were too well hidden. Darkfate still hasn't acknowledge all the new releases. Did you play any of the new April Fools missions?
