@Dragofer, I expect you're right.  Not sure what to do with my reports then, it's a bit tricky to reproduce.  It seems to happen when the alert stimulus is very brief, I either bump up against a guard or am briefly glimpsed; I guess there's then a disconnect between the guard's own alert status and the global alert status.  Last time I tested this I checked with `tdm_ai_showalert 1` and indeed the guard was on high alert, and the global status was zero.

Already sounds useful - have you opened a ticket on bugs.thedarkmod.com for this? Thats the best place to keep such information.

I have a large pool of downloaded missions ... but I can't just drop them into my fms directory because the downloader won't recognises them as already downloaded.  I see that I have a "downloaded_version" entry in missions.tdminfo, but to my dismay there's no checksum or anything like that to validate.

I'd really rather not re-download 900MB of missions.  Is there any way to check which of my missions are correctly up to date and just manually copy them across?

I normally just copy the whole fms folder from the old version to the new one after a fresh install. If i don't do the a fresh install, i copy the whole TDM folder and then just update to the desired version.

I had some missions refusing to update properly or getting stuck in an update loop some TDM versions ago.
But i deleted the offender's folders and after the redownload of just that few missions, everything was fine again.

The problem is, I want the in-game downloader to show me the missions I haven't got ... not all of them.  Also, I'd like to check I've got up to date versions of the missions I have, and the conventions for this seem to have changed a lot over the years.

Apologies, this is wandering way off topic!

@Dragofer, ok, reported as issue 5888.

Something is screwy with decal rendering again. Example: "textures/darkmod/decals/dirt/scattered_dirt01" in the model "models/darkmod/junk/scattered_papers01_leaning.lwo" disappears from view when you look at it at a right angle ie. when you stand over the papers. I noticed a similar thing while beta testing Iris but I don't know if that's the same decal. Another decal to complain about is "textures/darkmod/decals/dirt/scorch_flatbottom", that simply doesn't show from either side even when placed in the middle of a room. This decal has "sort 1" and the former has "decal_macro" in the defs, to shortcut you some info if you need it. I'm on Nvidia drivers.

(Afaik) you need the missions.tdminfo from the old install. You can edit the new file to make changes and the mission downloader will use that. You can check the darkmod.txt for the version of your missions (if version is supplied to that file).

Looks like something has happened to volumetric lighting in beta05. It was working fine in beta04 but after I upgraded to 05, it stopped working. I went back to 04 just to verify it was working, and it was. I verified I'm using Map shadows (r_shadows "2") and my r_volumetricSamples is "8".

Did something break in beta05? Anybody else seeing this?

Are you using the entity spawnarg ? ( previously it was a material def property )

Yep, on the light I have:

volumetric_light=1

volumetric_dust=.002

volumetric_noshadows=-1

Worked fine in beta04, but not in beta05.

Thank you!

If you increase the dust value does it become visible?

Please post your Darkmod.cfg

I increased dust to 0.2 and all the way to 1.0 - still not visible. Here's my darkmode.cfg:

Here's the correct darkmod.cfg, with r_shadows "2". Dust is still not visible

seta r_shadows "1" is stencil shadows

Volumetric lights requires r_shadows "2" ( Shadow Maps )

Sorry, I keep going back and forth between beta04 and beta05. So this last time I ended up with the default cfg (r_shadows "1"). That's the file I attached first. I realized this mistake and set Shadow Maps ( r_shadows "2"), and it still doesn't work (current attached file).

I just tested my small map on 2.10b5 with GeForce 980ti.

Looks great. I can create a very simple test case the works in beta04 but not in beta05 (at least, on my machine).

@joebarnin Do you have a glprogs folder in your darkmod directory?

Also, have you sanity checked this by completely deleting your darkmod.cfg file and/or doing a fresh install of 2.10b5 in another directory?

      I posted about it before, but I think the default tdm logo video looks outdated. For a (i.m.o.) better looking version, you can download the pk4 attached to this post and plonk it in your tdm root folder. Every mission that starts with the tdm logo then starts with the better looking one. Try for example mission COS1 Pearls and Swine.

      I finished DOOM - The Dark Ages the other day. It is a decent shooter, but not as great as its predecessors, especially because of the soundtrack.
