But doomx64 is not an ID4 Tech game (like TDM), so maybe you'll have some issues with that specific forced optimization.

Task is not so much to see what no one has yet seen but to think what nobody has yet thought about that which everybody see. - E.S.

Makes zero difference on the newest driver. Don't think that particular trick survived whatever magic overhaul they pulled for this update. All the better, though :)

Anyway, would have been shocking if they had managed such a massive update without introducing new bugs. In this case, they broke the findMSB function in GLSL - the compiler goes haywire on it in ssao.frag.glsl (line 81). It does work if we just use the fallback that's already in the shader behind an #ifdef, and I just checked and the fallback doesn't seem to perform any different on my NVIDIA card, so ... 🤷‍♂️ Would be the easiest way to fix it that I can see.

I applied this workaround at Rev 10065

I didn't see any performance difference either ( GTX 1050 ). I guess if someone howls we can use a vendor check and pass the result via an app variable ?

This is happening in other missions besides "In Plain Sight"? You have updated to v1.2 ?

Other FMs too!

 

I am unable to replicate locally. Are you using the Dev Build executable rev 10036 or are you compiling the latest SVN trunk? If the latter, I believe that some of the GUI code has changed and you would need newer core GUI assets.

Compiling the trunk of course (to have the SSAO fix)

You'll need to download the latest dev build (which contains assets, including GUIs), then replace the .exe and glprogs by compiling from trunk.

Correction:

The SVN glprogs will work with the Dev Build executable

The Dev Build executable must be paired to the Dev Build gui while the SVN executable must be paired with the SVN gui.

The next Dev Build will have the proper pairing. If you prefer, I can zip the SVN gui folder so you will have the latest.

      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 ?
