Only gone and fixed that for you avn'I? Just replace the skin file with this one. Added it to the zip too, obviously.

 

Thank you!

 

That fixed the problem however I have found another bug now :P

 

Whenever the paintings are frob highlighted they show another painting transparently

Made a pack of ten nifty wall lights to add some variety to what's already there!   Screenshots   Download

Welp, here's what I got done tonight, around ample breaks to avoid going cross-eyed from all the file renaming!   (I fixed that sneaky mistake since taking the screenshot) ^   That's variety covered,

I'm actually not sure why that is; to my knowledge the reference is in the right place:

	diffusemap	models/darkmod/props/textures/merrypainting01_d
	bumpmap		models/darkmod/props/textures/merrypainting01_local
	specularmap	models/darkmod/props/textures/painting01_s
    {
        if ( parm11 > 0 )
        blend       gl_dst_color, gl_one
        map         _white
        rgb         0.40 * parm11
    }
    {
        if ( parm11 > 0 )
        blend       add
        map         models/darkmod/props/textures/merrypainting01_d        <---- Pretty sure it's this line.
        rgb         0.15 * parm11
    }

Anybody know what's up with it?

I think that line you pointed out was the problem because I just modified that line on merrypainting02 from "textures/painting03_d" to "textures/merrypainting02_d" and now the transparent painting is gone! I will go through and change each of them for the respective painting and post back here soon. I believe that will fix the issue overall :)

 

edit: and here's the updated materials file, I went through and changed all of "painting03_d" references to the correct ones as per the painting. http://www14.zippyshare.com/v/rfSnEgk6/file.html

 

I have tested it with a couple and it seems to be working so hopefully that solves the problem!

Oh hi. The halloween rush burned me, so I've turned to modelling for a while. Last night I went a-googling, found a picture, modelled it and turned it into a light entity within a few hours. I was pretty happy with how it turned out, but, of course, there's a problem.

 

I found this.

 

With it, I made this.

 

In-game, it looks like this.

 

I thought I modelled it pretty well.

 

So what's the deal with this?

That's one good-looking lamp. Not a steam lamp, though!

Come the time of peril, did the ground gape, and did the dead rest unquiet 'gainst us. Our bands of iron and hammers of stone prevailed not, and some did doubt the Builder's plan.

Hmm, Springheel/others would know better than me - but that figure sounds a bit high for such a small object. Ive heard the usual trick is to have a low poly model with a high qaulity normal, but dont know how well that would apply to your model in this instance.

 

But as you have a handle on LW, then you might want to have a look at the model wishlist -

They were actually built pretty low-poly. Every cylinder had 8 sides maximum, often fewer, it's just because there are a lot of them. They're intricate-looking steampunk gadgeridoos, so even if made efficiently they end up breaking 1k when made into tris. Still, there are a few core lights that break 1k, and even some that break 2. My models obviously have super-duper low-poly shadow meshes, and the tris themselves haven't proven to be a huge performance drain in the past. I've been replacing lights in my maps with these, and the FPS counter stays the same. They're not intended for inclusion in the core game anyway, so I'm none too worried, and I'm sure I'll get more efficient as I keep learning regardless.

The new lights look like something that could crop up in Metropolis.

 

WRT their level of detail, if they are not used much in outdoors areas, a higher than average tri count is probably not absolutely relevant. Plus, as hardware gets better, even as this process has slowed down recently, it becomes less and less important.

I'd like to make a request please...

 

Would it be possible to have some bourbon bottles and more wine bottles too?

 

I find the current ones in TDM get a bit stale over the use of a map and i'd love to add some more variety.

      Yo TDMers.
      It has been a while.  This past year or so I have encountered some tough family issues, became a grandfather, had a job change, and then Steam offered Dishonored and Dishonored 2 along with all DLC for like 5 dollars.  So... have played that.  What a game; highly recommend.
      I am looking to resume TDM activity soon.

      While updating my first FM, I noticed a lot of silly things I did because I was still new to DR. For example, there was a model for a wheel that I wanted the player to be able to turn that had its origin off-center. I didn't know I could just re-export the model inside DR to fix its origin, so instead that wheel triggers a func_mover it's bound to. A silly solution in retrospect, has anyone else made somewhat janky or roundabout solutions to technical challenges in their maps? I'd love to hear about 'em!

      If you use DarkRadiant in Linux while using a dark theme, a large amount of the icons are hard to see, because it's dark-color on dark background (wish DR darkmode was a little less dark). A workaround is switching to a light theme when using DR. I'm using XFCE as DE, so I made this script (mostly copied from this code), which works as a toggle. Then I set it to a keyboard shortcut. The switch works even when DR is already opened.
      current_theme=$(xfconf-query -c xfwm4 -p /general/theme) if [[ $current_theme == 'Adwaita-dark' ]]; then xfconf-query -c xsettings -p /Net/ThemeName -s 'Mint-X-Grey' xfconf-query -c xfwm4 -p /general/theme -s 'Mint-X-Grey' else xfconf-query -c xsettings -p /Net/ThemeName -s 'Adwaita-dark' xfconf-query -c xfwm4 -p /general/theme -s 'Adwaita-dark' fi This only works for the XFCE DE though.
