I have decided that from now on, I should use a moving background in my intros for my Dark Mod videos, instead of just using a still logo image for a few seconds. I'm thinking maybe the city background which if I remember rightly is used in the intro for the William Steele mission "Home Again" will suffice. The intro will still have the same length of on-screen time before cutting to the game itself, but now with a bit more of a lively feel to it (b-roll) which should hopefully entice more viewers as opposed to just a boring on-screen image. Any way I can get this moving city background (aside from downloading Home Again and finding the relevant video file)? I want to start making Dark Mod videos again. Thanks.

You can specify translations within guis so that you get the appearence of a moving background, even though only still images are used. Many briefings use this approach.

If you need help with how to set this up or want a video and have some images to work with available I am happy to help.

      Was checking out old translation packs and decided to fire up TDM 1.07. Rightful Property with sub-20 FPS areas yay! ( same areas run at 180FPS with cranked eye candy on 2.12 )

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      I wanna play Doom 3, but fhDoom has much better features than dhewm3, yet fhDoom is old, outdated and probably not supported.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