I can't seem to capture Dark Mod on dxtory or fraps past 19 frames per second, anyone have any idea what's wrong?
It was working just fine a week ago, not entirely sure what's the culprit.

 

Fixed: Fraps works fine, once you make sure your file destination is set properly.

I like to record difficult stealth games, and right now you wonderful people are the only ones delivering on that front.

Weird, this never happened to me. I record Hitman: Absolution, Death to Spies and The Dark Mod just fine. BTW, I've seen your playthroughs of MoT a bit. The blur issue is very common when playing the game on Windows 7 computers. To fix it, just turn off Depth of Field.

Seems that fraps works just fine. I'm still running into a familiar problem with it on Dark Mod though; after long enough in a map it seems to effectively drop to single digits in FPS until I stop recording.

I'll try that, though halfway into a series I feel like it would be a tad inconsistent to change such a major feature.

Thanks for the notice and advice though, it'll be going into the saboteur run.

 

Edit: It seems fraps plays nice once I set it to a different file placement.

I know this because I have a couple of Windows 7 computers with this problem. Also, hope Fraps works out well for you.

      i am so euphoric to see new FMs keep coming out and I am keen to try it out in my leisure time, then suddenly my PC is spouting a couple of S.M.A.R.T errors...
      tbf i cannot afford myself to miss my network emulator image file&progress, important ebooks, hyper-v checkpoint & hyper-v export and the precious thief & TDM gamesaves. Don't fall yourself into & lay your hands on crappy SSD

      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      I wanna play Doom 3, but fhDoom has much better features than dhewm3, yet fhDoom is old, outdated and probably not supported.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 ?
