Thank you to everyone who took part in the mission

I think Grayman would have been happy

Hi Congratiolations on the release.

Can you change this line in:

- "Story" subtitles are available for this FM. Simply go to Settings --> Audio and select "Story" or "On"  for the subtitles setting.

The "On" setting shows the story subtitles together with the AI-barks. You make it sound like you specifically need the story setting to get the story subtitles.

What are the 2.11 specific features?

Awesome mission! Been playing it for an hour or so and it's the type of mission I like, full of areas to explore but not so much it becomes overwhelming, a manor to investigate, and a mystery.

I don't know if there's any technical features being used, but based on what I've played so far there's a bunch of assets I've never seen before that look like they're some of the ones listed here: https://wiki.thedarkmod.com/index.php?title=What's_new_in_TDM_2.11#Assets

A word of warning, Agent Denton. This was a simulated experience; real LAMs will not be so forgiving.

We gotta do something about the in-game authors display in the mission selector, it is cutting off WellingtonCrab's name.

Any objections to changing the entry to Grayman, Fractured Glass Team ? (etc)

Yeah, it seems that as missions get bigger and more complex, you need more authors to hop on and help. But I'm personally okay with whatever works best; let's see if dragofer and welli have an opinion.

Eh, I am not really one to complain about such things. I don't think there is much ambiguity that I contributed to the mission. At a certain point the mission downloader is not realistically going to be able to credit everyone in large project.

I have a visual glitch in the mission, don't know if it's an issue with my install or not but

Spoiler

in the greenhouse area, there's this:

Seems like the objects are supposed to be sitting on something (and still are, they don't ever fall), but all I get is the black cube on the ground instead. Am I missing an asset somewhere? I'm running 2.11 and everything else works just fine including other new assets, it's literally the only problem I've had so far and it's fairly minor, but still.

yeah, you're not the only one that has experienced this issue. It's a strange problem, because most of our beta testers didn't have this issue, but a few did. We quadruple-checked the file paths and everything. Something funky is definitely going on, sorry about this. Lucky the issue only seems to be present to very few players and only in this particular area (he says, hoping not to jinx it)

EDIT: Fixed now, uploading the version 1.0001 hotfix :D

Cool, thanks for that. Curious what the fix was but I can confirm it's now looks correct... IF I restart the mission. Loading my savegame made prior to the update shows the bugged-out cabinet after the update, but starting the updated mission from scratch fixes it. Something about how the engine works I guess. No matter, just found it interesting.

Thanks for release! Will definetly play it on my current machine. 

Yesterday i was testing my retro hardware and was surprised by 5 fps outdoor :)

It's a laptop from 2009 with C2d CPU clocked at 3000mhz and Geforce 260m (close to 250 desktop). 

 

p.s. zero gpu load is a bug. In reality it's working hard!

Nice to see that you're happy with that... 😬

Did you know you could save screenshots inside TDM? Press (default) F12 key. Screenshots can be found in the screenshots folder in the root directory of TDM.

      I'd like to track my level design progress a bit more often now, so I'm using the feed in my profile here.
      I've been working intensively on Springheel's YouTube course over the past few days. I'm currently up to lesson 8. There is so much information that needs to be processed and practiced. 
      I have started to create my own house. As I don't have the imagination to create a good floor plan, I grabbed a floor plan generator from Watabou and experimented with it. I chose a floor plan that I will modify slightly, but at least I now have an initial idea. 
      I used two guards as a measuring tape: The rooms are two guards high. It turned out that I can simply double the number of boxes in DarkRadiant in grid size 8 that are drawn in the floor plan. 
      I practiced the simplest things on the floor plan first. Drawing walls, cutting walls, inserting doors, cutting out frames, creating VisPortals, furnishing rooms.
      I have had my first success in creating a book. Creating a book was easier than I thought. I have a few ideas with books. The level I'm creating will be more or less a chill level, just for me, where I'll try out a few things. I don't have an idea for my own mission yet. I want to start small first.
      For the cellar, I wanted to have a second entrance, which should be on the outside. I'm fascinated by these basement doors from the USA, I think they're called Bilco basement doors. They are very unusual in Germany, but this type of access is sometimes used for deliveries to restaurants etc., where barrels can be rolled or lifted into the cellar. 
      I used two Hatch Doors, but they got completely disoriented after turning. I have since got them reasonably tamed. It's not perfect, but it's acceptable. 
      In the cellar today I experimented with a trap door that leads to a shaft system. The rooms aren't practically finished yet, but I want to continue working on the floor plan for now. I'll be starting on the upper floor very soon.

      Ich möchte nun mal öfters ein bisschen meinen Werdegang beim Leveldesign tracken, dazu nutze ich hier den Feed in meinem Profil.
      Ich habe mich in den vergangenen Tagen intensiv mit dem Youtube-Kurs von Springheel beschäftigt. Aktuell bin ich bis zu Lektion 8 gekommen. Das sind so viele Informationen, die erstmal verarbeitet werden wollen und trainiert werden wollen. 

      Ich habe mich daran gemacht, ein eigenes Haus zu erstellen. Da mir die Fantasie fehlt, einen guten Raumplan zu erstellen, habe ich mir einen Grundrissgenerator von Watabou geschnappt und damit experimentiert. Ich habe mich für einen Grundriss entschieden, den ich noch leicht abwandeln werde, aber zumindest habe ich nun eine erste Idee. 

      Als Maßband habe ich zwei Wächter genommen: Die Räume sind zwei Wächter hoch. Es hat sich herausgestellt, dass ich in DarkRadiant in Gittergröße 8 einfach die doppelte Anzahl an Kästchen übernehmen kann, die im Grundriss eingezeichnet sind. 

      Ich habe bei dem Grundriss erstmal die einfachsten Sachen geübt. Wände ziehen, Wände zerschneiden, Türen einsetzen, Zargen herausschneiden, VisPortals erstellen, Räume einrichten.

      Ich habe erste Erfolge mit einem Buch gehabt. Das Erstellen eines Buchs ging leichter als gedacht. Ich habe ein paar Ideen mit Bücher. Das Level, das ich gerade erstelle, wird mehr oder weniger ein Chill-Level, einfach nur für mich, bei dem ich ein paar Sachen ausprobieren werde. Ich habe noch keine Idee für eine eigene Mission. Ich möchte erst einmal klein anfangen.

      Beim Keller wollte ich gerne einen zweiten Zugang haben, der sich außen befinden soll. Mich faszinieren diese Kellertüren aus den USA, Bilco basement doors heißen die, glaube ich. Diese sind in Deutschland sehr unüblich, diese Art von Zugängen gibt es aber manchmal zur Anlieferung bei Restaurants etc., wo Fässer dann in den Keller gerollt oder gehoben werden können. 
      Ich habe zwei Hatch Doors verwendet, die allerdings nach dem Drehen vollkommen aus dem Ruder liefen. Inzwischen habe ich sie einigermaßen gebändigt bekommen. Es ist nicht perfekt, aber annehmbar. 
      Im Keller habe ich heute mit einer Falltür experimentiert, die zu einem Schachtsystem führt. Die Räume sind noch quasi nicht eingerichtet, aber ich möchte erstmal am Grundriss weiterarbeiten. In Kürze fange ich das Obergeschoss an.

      On a lighter note, thanks to my cat-like reflexes, my superior puzzle skills and my perfect memory, I was able to beat the remastered version of "Tomb Raider: The Last Revelation" in a new superhuman record time of 23 h : 35 m, worship me!
