Dark mod version of Lumen.

[MirceaKitsune]

I remember how I spent a month trying to implement bounce light estimation, couldn't keep the lights from leaking through walls though. We concluded this will require a deep engine change to do anywhere near right. Still dreaming for that day

[stgatilov]

dev16481-9881 is available.

There are two reasons for this dev build:

1. major update of compiler and third parties
2. releasing all the changes which happened during 2.10 beta but did not get into release

Is there a way to keep com_allowConsole 1 on restart? Currently on every restart, I have to open the console to set it to 1.

Btw. the description is wrong. It should be: Don't open game console by tilde if com_allowConsole is 0 on Linux . Default it is set on 0 on Linux

On 3/18/2022 at 9:47 AM, stgatilov said:

set ID_CONSOLE_LOCK to 1 in the source and compiled a release build.

That fixed it for me. When com_allowConsole is set to 0, tilde works as expected -- tilde puts away weapon and Ctrl+Alt+~ toggles the console. Also, when com_allowConsole is set to 1, tilde toggles the console as expected.

You need to pass +set com_allowConsole 1 as command line parameter.
You can create shortcut of batch/shell file for that.

Emm... it means that static libs for OpenAL and pugixml use some symbols which your VC/CRT installation does not provide, or something like that. I'd say that's not something for non-professional C++ programmer to debug

This might happen because of wrong VS version.

1. If you have some VC projects/solutions open, close all of them.
2. Use SVN client to ensure that TDM source repository is perfectly clean, i.e. there are no local changes in any files (especially in .sln and .vcxproj files)
3. Make sure to open the solution in 2022 version of Visual Studio (especially if you have not deleted version 2017 yet).
4. Try to rebuild whole solution.

[HMart]

Thanks for the pointers stgatilov, btw not sure if correct but in the mean time I did solved the OpenAL errors by updating in the "ThirdParty\artefacts\" the OpenAL library and include files, to the latest OpenAL soft version, after that I got only a single unresolved external symbol error with pugixml. But I will start over with a clean install, so the solution is the one that comes by default and not something I hacked around, cheers.

 

Update: 

Cleaned the solution like you said, rebuild with VS2022 worked.  

I most have broken it when I tried to compile with VS 2017 and when it failed, tried to retarget it (like suggested by VS...).

And yes I still have 2017 installed, hell I still have VS 2010 that I used to try compile HPL engine from Frictional Games, VS 2015 that I use to edit Dewm3 engine, VS 2017, VS 2019 and now VS 2022 all in the same computer, based on how bad Microsoft has become, I don't know how they all can coexist so well and everything works.

Holly sh I saw something strange right now, when I started the game with my own compiled exe. 

When using the original TDM exactable, all sliders in the menu miss the small red gismo, that you use to see where the slide value is at, when using my compiled exe the gismos are there!? What could be causing that?

Off the top of my head the versions of compiled and original are different

Yes you are right, I should have thought of that, I got the latest source from here  

https://svn.thedarkmod.com/publicsvn/darkmod_src/trunk/ 

so is not exactly original compiled TDM 2.10, so probably something you guys did in this new version solved that bug, nice to know.

Please consider adding the ability to navigate the main menu with keyboard.

Since we're asking for ridiculous things; please consider writing a vulkan renderer.

I doubt D3 Gui system supports that, so that would be too much of effort for such a minor improvement.

dev16485-9903 is now available.

I'm now getting errors looking like this when I try to save a game:

WARNING:LibJPEG: JPEG parameter struct mismatch: library thinks size is 584, caller expects 568
Segmentation fault (core dumped)

The save game itself gets written and loads without issue, but it has no preview thumbnail.

I'm on Linux Mint 20.2, but the issue does not occur on my Windoze machine.

I did not have this problem in dev16481-9881.

My libjpeg-dev version is the latest available, 8c-2ubuntu8.

Mabe better to not clutter this thread with feature requests and discussion about that? Just keep this about dev-testing.
