Did you ever install the fresnel mod ( tdm_base01.pk4 has the glprogs folder in it )?

No. I added an option to turn the outline on and off for my patch, but that works with preset 1 and even if I remove it, the others don't work.

Hello, the language setting doesn't seem to stick on 2.10 beta 5. I can change to French anytime and that works. But on next session the setting will revert back to English. Is there something I can do ?

What about other settings?
Do they save?

A question about volumetric lights. If I specify volumetric_light=1 on a light, and take the defaults for the other values, then the dust is visible only if the Shadows Implementation is set to Maps. If it is set to Stencil, the dust doesn't show up. This has been discussed in this and other threads.

However, if I add volumetric_noshadows=-1 (or 1), the dust is visible in both Maps and Stencil mode. And, the light still casts shadows (as least, as far as my limited testing has shown).

It looks like if I set volumetric_noshadows=-1, I can get volumetric dust in my lights for both Maps and Stencil. If that's the case, is there a downside? What am I not understanding?

Anyone else noticed this as well?

Works for me. But I use Linux.

OBS version 27.1.3-3

 

VokoscreenNG (multiplatform) seems also a good screenrecorder:

Just started using it, very simple in operation.

The volumetric rays will go through stuff like walls while the light itself will be stopped by them, ie it will cast shadows. If you have something like a street light in the middle of an empty street there is no downside besides possibly particles being a more FPS friendly solution.

Hidden Hands: Vitalic Fever

The Painter's Wife

A Good Neighbor

Now and Then

I can test mine. Are we testing for anything in particular? Just to make sure the guis work?

Did a quick run-through of AGN, everything seems fine. If I have time I'll give some of the other FMs you listed a go

Reporting a bug which is here pretty long 😅 (Still on the 2.09)
When you select a mission and click download it starts as it should (also for multiple missions).

But then you can add even more missions which are shown as queued. But only in the GUI. When all downloads (which were there before pressing download now) are finished, later added missions are gone.

So please let us either add them to the queue for real or disable this option.

next one:


You said for updating you need to use the tdm_installer. I don't even have one, the game folder only includes the tdm_update and theDarkModx64 as spllication data.
Ofc I can download one from you website but thats not upgrading the game 😉
(Sorry to be so precise, Im just worried about people with low PC knowledge)

The new installed DM lacks the updater and has an installer, the 32bit? and 64bit app-version in it..

Maybe I still have a real old installation of the game???

      Finally got my PC back from the shop after my SSD got corrupted a week ago and damaged my motherboard. Scary stuff, but thank goodness it happened right after two months of FM development instead of wiping all my work before I could release it. New SSD, repaired Motherboard and BIOS, and we're ready to start working on my second FM with some added version control in the cloud just to be safe!

      I've updated the articles for your FMs and your author category at the wiki. Your newer nickname (DeTeEff) now comes first, and the one in parentheses is your older nickname (Fieldmedic). Just to avoid confusing people who played your FMs years ago and remember your older nickname. I've added a wiki article for your latest FM, Who Watches the Watcher?, as part of my current updating efforts. Unless I overlooked something, you have five different FMs so far.

      I've finally managed to log in to The Dark Mod Wiki. I'm back in the saddle and before the holidays start in full, I'll be adding a few new FM articles and doing other updates. Written in Stone is already done.

      You cannot receive PMs. Could you please be so kind and check your mailbox if it is full (or maybe you switched off the function)?
