Beta testing 2.13

[stgatilov]

TDM 2.13 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/2.13 list, should look like "beta213-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/2.13 list, should look like "beta213-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 2.13 beta and 2.12 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.
 

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 2.13 changes, if a new 2.13 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 2.12 too.
By the way, you can easily get 2.12 version: just copy your darkmod folder and run tdm_installer on the copy, selecting "release212" on the custom version screen.


Thank you for testing !

PLAYERS

Implemented new system to estimate light for AI purposes. Players usually try to hide bodies in dark places so that guards don't see it when passing by. However, the old light estimate system does not properly account for shadows, so what is dark for player can be fully bright for AI. The new system considers all the details including: shadows, projected light textures, cubemaps, blinking and multistage lights, invisible skins (thread).

There are many improvements to mission lists in the main menu. It is easy to search mission by name/author prefix, more missions fit into the visible area, several lists can now be scrolled.

Default settings should no longer cause any extra micro-stutters, because Uncapped FPS and Vsync are enabled by default now. Other improvements include: support for Vsync on Linux, better implementation of FPS limit on Windows 8 and later.

Level loading is further accelerated with better utilization of multicore CPUs and parallel loading of sound samples. Loading progress bar has been reimplemented to reflect all the optimizations of the past years.

Subtitles got some improvements as well. The volume estimation is much better now, subtitles for too quiet sounds are no longer shown. Visual appearance of the subtitles font has been greatly improved.

Tonemapping has been altered to improve appearance of overly bright colors. Such colors are no longer clamped at value = 1 and they desaturate at high brightness. Finally, brightness slider should be much more useful now (post).

The training mission is further updated with vine arrows, EFX reverb, and better performance.
New footstep sounds added for broken glass and ice.

MAPPERS

Added support for parallax mapping. This effect can be used to fake highly detailed geometry in some cases. (wiki, thread)

Major overhaul for drunk AIs. Mappers now only have to set the "drunk" spawnarg to "1" on any AI in order for that AI to appear "drunk", and better yet, there are several customization options available to mappers to make their drunk AI more unique. In order to make this happen, we added two new drunk vocal sets for the Drunk Moor and Drunk Jack, respectively. In addition to several bug fixes, there are now improved drunk animations and drunk greetings, female AI and manbeasts can now also be drunk, and drunk idle bark times have been improved.

Supported GUI debriefing screen on mission success. Previously mappers could set up debriefing video, but could not make arbitrary interactive GUI like they could do with briefing (thread).
Also, mapper can pass information from GUI briefing to game and from game to GUI debriefing via persistent info. Previously it was only used to pass info between missions in a campaign (wiki).

Finally, missions are allowed to modify cvars in relatively safe way. This is possible due to the new concept of "cvar mission override", which are part of game state. They can be set by script function sys.setcvar and by game console commands setm / unsetm. Beware that most of cvars are still internal and are not fixed for the sake of backward compatibility! (thread)
Also, the cvar system has been cleaned up a bit and is thread-safe now.

Major improvements in bumpmapped environment mapping: texcoords transforms like translate and rotate do work now, it is OK to have several bumpmap stages toggled on and off dynamically.
The visual appearance has also been changed and is now similar to non-bumpmapped case (thread).

The behavior of zero sound spawnargs has been changed: now it indeed sets the volume to zero, while previously it had no effect compared to nonexistent spawnarg (thread).

The interaction groups in material are now extracted differently. Most importantly, you can split material stages across interactions using the new interactionSeparator syntax (thread).

Some features are now enabled for shadow maps despite them being impossible to implement with stencil shadows: shadows on transparent surfaces and alpha-tested shadows (poll).

Nested subviews now work properly: mirrors, remotes, sky, etc. They cost tremendous amount of performance, so this is not a feature to rely on. But it is still better than to have a large mirror turn black whenever a small water puddle with mirror material gets into player's view.

It has become easier to set standard EFX settings with the new efx_preset spawnarg (thread).

Several new player tools have been added:

• slowfall potion (thread)
• gas mine
• invisibility potion (from @kingsal missions)

BUGS

* Fixed dmap making almost axis-aligned visportals buggy (6480).
* Fixed bug in idClip::Translation of non-centered models.
* Fixed light culling bug on elongated models with non-identity rotation (6557).
* Fixed rendering of volumetric light and particles in X-ray views and mirrors (6538).
* Workaround for compiler bug which broke particle collisions with texture layout (post).
* Fixed rare crash on loading collision models (post).
* Fixed map immobilization not applied if opening map with inv use key.
* Fixed frob interaction with candle holder that's initially extinguished (6577).
* Fixed frob_light_holder_toggle_light on entities with both skin_lit and skin_unlit.

INTERNAL

The system for third-party dependencies has been moved to Conan 2 and extended. Now the CI server regularly builds TDM and its dependencies completely from source code.

[stgatilov]

BEHAVIOR CHANGES:

g_lightQuotientAlgo --- which light estimate system is used by AI (0 = old system).
g_showLightQuotient and g_les* --- can be used for debugging of the new system.

r_envmapBumpyBehavior --- selects visual behavior of bumpmapped environment mapping (0 for the old behavior, 1 for the new one).

s_overrideParmsMode --- selects the behavior of zero value in sound emitter parameters (0 for the old behavior, 1 for the new one).

r_materialNewParse --- how are material stages grouped into interaction groups (0 for the old behavior, 1 for the new one).

r_shadowMapAlphaTested, r_shadowMapOnTranslucent --- enable some shadow effects which can only be implemented with shadow maps, and don't work with stencil shadows. See also this post.

TROUBLESHOOTING:

r_lockView --- a debug cvar which freezes culling, so you can fly around and see what is rendered in the frozen frame (thread).

r_subviewMaxDepth --- limit on depth of nested subviews. Worth trying to lower this if performance is suddenly awful.

dmap_outputNoSnap --- control flag for the latest fix in dmap. Ideally, you never need to change it, unless you try to understand why dmap works differently in 2.13.

r_skipEntities, r_skipParallax --- new debug cvars, might be useful to detect performance issues.

s_levelLoadParallel 0 --- disables parallel loading of sound samples.

jobs_numThreadsRealtime, jobs_numThreadsNonInteractive, jobs_maxHddThreads --- various cvars to tweak parallelism across threads/cores, mainly affects level loading.

OTHER:

r_postprocess_compress --- controls the new compression curve for overbright colors in tonemapping. r_postprocess_compress*, r_postprocess_overbright_desaturation, r_postprocess_desaturation --- tweak the specifics of this addition. Please read this post!

r_tonemapOnlyGame3d 1 --- tonemapping is disabled outside 3D game (e.g. in main menus).

tdm_subtitles_volume* --- how volume of played sound is converted to opacity of the location ring on subtitles.

CMDS:

printPersistentInfo --- debug command that prints "persistent args" to game console. These arguments are used to pass information between missions in a campaign.

setm/unsetm --- commands that set mission override value for a cvar, equivalent to setting cvar value from game script.

2.13 Beta is here!

Please join the testing to ensure we are ready for release.

I'm having trouble installing this. I've tried two different mirrors but I keep getting "minizip errors", whatever that means.

I did update from last dev build to bveta213-01 fine.
Just now I also did fresh install in empty directory. It also works fine.

Could you please try again?
And if it still does not work, can you attach the last tdm_installer_xxxxxxxxxx.log?

[thebigh]

It's working again now. Must have been some temporary glitch.

Several new player tools have been added:

• slowfall potion (thread)
• gas mine
• invisibility potion (from @kingsal missions)

These are great additions! Finally something new from the gameplay side, and now I can remove my own invisibilty potion.

I noticed something about the font though, don't know if it's 2.13 only: in the mission list the lower pixels of letters are cut!

Edited January 15 by wesp5

[datiswous]

I noticed that in the training mission, the Better and higher LOD settings are making the scene brighter. It's not (always) an improvement. I assume this is because of cubemaps and/or VL-light. Not related to the new tonemapping.

* Added scrollbar to "notes" of a mission in the main menu.

Is it currently possible to add such a scrollbar to a (custom) briefing gui? Or maybe it's activated by default for longer briefing texts?

[datiswous]

There's still this (briefing) bug that I think I mentioned, but can't find it:

When you write in mainmenu_custom_devs.gui for your mission

#define ENABLE_MAINMENU_SHOP 0

It still shows the "Buy equipment"-button for it on the difficulty screen of the briefing, although it does skip the shop if you click on it. I know there is the option to set it in the worldspawn of your map, but still the above setting is almost useless.

Or should I make a bug report for this instead?

I guess the two messages should be merged into single "Next" button.
In general case, we usually don't know what would be the next page in the sequence.

[datiswous]

Is it maybe possible to make some sort of if statement based on the setting #define ENABLE_MAINMENU_SHOP ?

It is possible.
It's just a wrong approach in general now.

When it was done, the sequence of menu screens during mission start was almost completely fixed.
Now when you click Back button in the shop, you might get to difficulty selection, briefing, briefing video, or straight to the menu. It has become rather impractical trying to set all button names depending on where you will arrive. The better approach is to simply have "Continue" and "Back" buttons everywhere.

• By Any Other Name: file maps\byanyothername.script, line 2075: endTime redeclared
• The Heart of Saint Mattis: Press escape during the initial cutscene and the game freezes

Can anybody else confirm?

I fixed "By Any Other Name". Once the mission database fully processes the commit v5 will have the fix.

I can confirm that and it was already mentioned before. My suggestion is to rename endTime in the Holy Water arrow script to holyarrow_endTime or similar, because otherwise this might happen again or already is happening elsewhere.

This is due to the recent tonemapper changes. When r_tonemapOnlyGame3d is set to 1, the fonts are distorted. When r_tonemapOnlyGame3d is set to 0, the fonts look fine.

@Amadeus can you revert this and create new materials defs with the desired design eg: window_moolit_new (etc)?

Do your changes significantly improve existing missions so that only this mission is an outlier ( eg we would just include an override def in this mission ) ?

[Daft Mugi]

re comparison screenshots of the windows: Could it be the difference in tonemappers rather than something wrong with the assets?
