Beta testing 2.12

[stgatilov]

TDM 2.12 is ready for beta test

This is how to get beta versions:

Upgrade from any version (fast):
1 - Start tdm_installer in darkmod folder.
2 - On the first screen, check "Get custom version" and click "Next". Choose the first name in beta/2.12 list, should look like "beta212-NN".
3 - Click on "Refresh" button to ensure that it is not going to download too much stuff.
4 - Continue installing with "Next".

Fresh install (slow):
1 - Create darkmod folder anywhere you like.
2 - Download the TDM Installer from downloads section of the website. Extract tdm_installer executable from the downloaded ZIP and place it into your darkmod folder.
3 - Start tdm_installer (in case of Linux, first edit file permissions to allow executing it).
4 - On the first screen, check "Get custom version" and click "Next". Choose the first name in beta/2.12 list, should look like "beta212-NN".
5 - Continue installing with "Next".
 

In general, upgrade is recommended over fresh install. If you don't want to lose your current TDM installation, then you can copy the whole TDM directory and upgrade the copy. This way you can have both 2.12 beta and 2.11 at the same time.

At the end of installation, tdm_installer resets your config by renaming darkmod.cfg to darkmod_{datatime}.cfg. This is a recommended procedure on upgrade, otherwise you are likely to have issues due to old config. If you need your old config for some reason, you can always find it in darkmod folder.

32-bit builds of TDM are deprecated, so they are not present in beta versions. They will be added at the very end of beta phase.
 

Notes

1 - Please try to be specific when reporting a problem. What you were doing, where you were when the problem occurred, can you reproduce it, etc.
This wiki article provides many suggestions for good bug reports.

2 - Make sure to check every mission for update just before playing it. We expect to apply small tweaks to missions during this beta phase.

3 - This effort is to find out if we broke anything in TDM with our 2.12 changes, if a new 2.12 feature isn't working correctly.
We won't be trying to fix bugs that have been around for a long time. Instead, we will create an issue in bugtracker (if not yet present), to fix it after beta.

4 - If you find something wrong, it would be helpful if you report whether the issue happens in 2.11 too.
By the way, you can easily get 2.11 version: just copy your darkmod folder and run tdm_installer on the copy, selecting "release211" on the custom version screen.


Thank you for testing !

GAMEPLAY

* Frob controls have been reworked completely. Previously players were annoyed by having to do three presses to extinguish a light. Also, some player didn't even know that bodies could be shouldered and were limited with dragging bodies. Now simply clicking the frob button performs the action player needs most of the time, and pressing-and-holding the same button performs alternative actions like dragging bodies and extinguishing candles (thread).

* Several aspects of mantling has been improved: overhead mantling has become faster, mantling over low obstacles is allowed while carrying an item or a body. Also it is possible to switch weapon while being on rope/ladder or mantling. Pressing crouch button on rope/ladder now starts slide-down immediately.

* Some aspects of gameplay can be further simplified. Auto-search bodies is for players who don't want to waste time searching for keys and purses on guard bodies. Lockpicking "Auto" difficulty now indeed trivializes lockpicking (thread).

* Leaning animation has been improved with lower head tilt (thread).

* Player footstep sounds have been rebalanced. Metal and water sounds were especially painful previously.

* Further improvements of subtitles: revised location and font to avoid overlapping with other GUI elements, added directional cue, better slot allocation. Each subtitle is now displayed for at least one second even if the sound is very short.

* More settings to reduce camera bobbing/rolling/shaking, which is good for players who feel motion sickness from default camera animations.

* Now several script addons can coexist and work independently (thread).

ENGINE

* Optimized generation of light-entity interactions in rendering frontend. Also greatly optimized shadow processing, especially for moving lights. Unfortunately, many existing missions are not compatible with these changes, so you might see light leaking through walls (mainly with stencil shadows). Please report all such cases, we'll apply workaround on case by case basis (thread).

* The "old" and "new" rendering backends are finally merged into one. It is as nice to program as the new backend, and as old-fashioned and reliable as the old backend. Single-pass shadow maps enabled by default and now respect noselfshadow.

* Materials with polygonoffset now interact with lights. So static decals can have bumpmap and specular lighting. Note however: dynamic decals still don't interact with lights.

* Revised parallelSky lights and marked shadowing parallel lights as deprecated (thread).

* PNG image format now behaves equally to other supported formats. In particular, it is not required to explicitly specify its extension, and it can be referenced directly in GUI code.

* Added functions min/max to material expressions, which can be useful for clamping.

* Fixed minor culling bugs on animated entities and enabled entity scissors by default.

* Reduced color banding for fog with some dithering at tonemapping stage.

* Finally our C++ code can compress and decompress all texture formats we use, meaning that we no longer depend on occasionally buggy/slow vendor implementations.

BUGS

* Now both OGG and WAV sounds work the same way and stop playing while in main menu.

* Fixed "gui::startSelect" as a feature that allows to choose player starting location in GUI briefing.

* Fixed warnings in newspaper_bridgeport0X core readable GUI.

ASSETS

* Added automatic turrets, to be combined with security cameras (Thread).

* Added more covered furniture models (6289).

* Added wall models from Seeking Lady Leicester (6293).

* New and fixed versions of atdm:lamp_electric_square_3_lit_unattached (6315).

* Fixed UV map on Stove models (6312).

* Fixed some issues with moor AI (6345).

List of major console variables and commands:

PLAYER

tdm_holdfrob_* --- set of variables that affect the reworked frob controls.

tdm_autosearch_bodies --- automatically take items attached to unconscious bodies on frob.

pm_headbob_mod, pm_lean_* --- allows to reduce some player movements.

HELPER

tdm_show_viewpos, screenshot_viewpos --- embedding viewpos into screenshot for better bug reports.

tdm_open_doors, tdm_close_doors --- cheats to make mission testing faster.

TROUBLESHOOTING

r_useLightPortalFlow, r_useLightPortalFlowCulling --- improved light-entity interaction culling. Most major effect on shadows. This cvar is responsible for causing light leaks with stencil shadows, please report all of them! (thread)

r_useNewRenderPasses --- selects from several renderer backend code paths. This is similar to the old r_useNewBackend cvar which has been deleted.

r_shadowMapSinglePass --- faster code path for filling shadow maps.

r_useEntityScissors, r_animationBounds --- improved bounds estimates for rendered entities.

r_postprocess_dither --- new dithering in tonemap postprocessing for less color banding.

r_shadowMapAlphaTested --- experimental mode for alpha-tested surfaces with shadow maps, where transparent areas of texture don't cast shadows.

s_realTimeDecoding --- selects code path for decoding sound samples.

tdm_subtitles_* --- many cvars for subtitle improvements (location cue, duration extension, debug text).

Does this mean that you can set this to 1 and the viewpos is automatically added to default screenshot creation, or do I have to manually set this to a keypress?

This is a great addition. Thank you. I would like someday to be able to mod it and remove the restrictions via scripting.

I haven't tested this yet but it sounds good. The problem I had with this is the damage you take at the end if you are not careful, spoiling any fun that may be reside in the mechanic.

On 12/3/2023 at 3:22 PM, stgatilov said:

overhead mantling has become faster,

I don't understand this change. What's the case that triggered it?

Chases many times end during or right after an "overhead mantling": there's that moment where you never know if you will get the hit or not. I always found this exciting and I never wondered whether "overhead mantling" was right or wrong, fast or slow. "Overhead mantling" has always felt right to me in any situation.

My observations:

• Chances of being hit is reduced to almost zero now
• Mantling sounds have been limited to one, it sounds boring and repetitive
• Players can clip through ceilings in some situations
• It feels a little robotic, for some reason.

I'm getting this on Windows. Not black, but opaque under water.

It happened when I first updated to the beta. I was about to report it but tested again and it had gone away.  I restarted TDM and now it's back.

I get this in my WIPs and in every mission I have tested, this is from Noble Affairs (I just downloaded the latest version of this mission and tested again, same problem):

https://streamable.com/7w42jd

This is from Win11 with a GTX 1050 Ti . Seemingly happens only on certain configurations as others cannot reproduce it.

Thanks!

I am also unable to reproduce this one.

Here's mine.  I'm also on Windows 11 (RTX 3060Ti).

I think it happens on pretty much all missions.  It happens on my WIP and I tried out a couple of older ones (Perilous Refuge and Penny Dreadful 3).

Darkmod.cfg

[wesp5]

I can confirm that the water is pitch black in "Noble Affairs". Also I suggest to remove "guard" from the tip on auto-search, because other NPCs carry items too, better make it like this: "Take all items from a body on first frob." Overall a nice release with several features that I can now remove from my patch, like directly extinguishing lights and mantling with bodies .

* Fixed map icon wrong name (thread).

Where are the files "guis/assets/game_maps/map_of_icon.tga" and "guis/assets/game_maps/map_of.tga" located? They're not in these locations inside tdm core. In fact I cannot fine the "game_maps" location.

 the confusion continues.  I am similarly affected:

The folders and files are not included in core it seems. If you add the map_of_icon.tga to your fm, it works I guess, but I don't see a reason to not include it in core.

The map_of.tga file probably has other uses? For example for a custom gui background image.

An example where the issue aplies is @Obsttorte's Automap testmap.

 

Edit: Maybe the reason is that it is asumed mappers use their own map_of and map_of_icon . Probably using something like guis/assets/mainmenu/oldparchment_backdrop3.dds

Try enabling Bloom in the Advanced Video settings.

I can only reproduce this with Bloom Disabled.

@stgatilov

Fixes the bug for me, too.

Look William Steele 1 mission.
This is the one which was broken by the 2.11 change which is reverted in 2.12.
