In TDM 2.13 we restore the original Doom 3 option to change texture quality in the menu.

Lowend players no longer need to tinker with the image_downSize cvars.

Unfortunately, sometime after the release of "Seeking Lady Leicester" ( TDM 2.11 development ) some DDS textures were added to TDM that lacked mipmaps.

On texture quality settings below "Full" ( default ), these textures will render black:

If you want to use any of these textures in a mission, fixed versions can be found packed into the missions 

"Seeking Lady Leicester" and "The Imperial Sword".

If you see any other textures that render black when texture quality is below Full, please report them to this thread.

Thank you!

Edit: Daft Mugi used a python script to find the remaining items ( added to the list above )

So I guess assets are also version controlled. So if you would fix this in core for 2.14 dev, this would not be available for 2.13. I guess it makes sense, although, one could think it could be smart to update assets separate from engine updates. So you could keep updating 2.13 with new assets, while working on 2.14 dev with engine + asset updates.

      (I just write this down, because it's on my mind)
      I think it's time somebody makes the city hub fm 😉
      Technically I see 2 possible ways.
      1. One is where everything takes place inside one mission and you teleport to different enclosed areas of the map to do subquests.
      2. Another is a campaign style mission. You start inside the cityhub. When you do a subquest, the mission ends, but the next mission you load the specific quest-map. This questmap you load is depended on what subquest you choose to start inside the map. Afterwards you load the 3th mission in the campaign which will be the cityhub map again, but via persistant info, changes some things inside the map (for example, you can't do the same subquest twice) and you have more gold maybe, etc, etc. So if the cityhub has 5 subquest missions that can be played in any order, the total amount of missions in the campaign would be 10, but the amount of map files 6. Because if you start in the cityhub map, after each subquest mission, you return to the cityhub map again, except for the last mission. When you make missions later you can add them to the cityhub again and make it bigger.
      (This seems all possible with changes made in TDM 2.13 , but I'm not 100% sure. It's at least an interesting project to work on)

      I started using Unexpected Keyboard for Android phone.
      It's pretty cool, because it has an actual Ctrl key, which you can use to do cut, copy and paste actions via x, c and v. pretty handy in the forums, to move quoted text around for example.

      Dammit there are too many missions available now. That's what I get for being away for so long. Such a first-world problem.

      The best thing about not mapping more than like every other year is the awesome feeling to see how far TDM has gotten in all appartments. I can just create some parallaxing cobblestones and walk to and fro and just let the jaw drop
