Popular Post Bikerdude Posted February 22 Popular Post Report Posted February 22 (edited) A Collector's Errand So thebigh and I, have created a little tribute map in honour of Mircea Kitsune. The FM is set in the TDM universe with nod's to some of the gameplay elements in MK's own mission's. And the map itself was loosely based of one of thebigh's abandoned maps, which has then been heavily customised and had multiple detail passes into what you now see. The mission is small and and relatively simple, so shouldn't be too hard for most players. Enjoy and have fun Notes: - TDM 2.14 or later is REQUIRED to play this mission. - Build time roughly 65hrs. Download Link: - (v0.31) - https://mega.nz/file/2AskyBJD#K_sSxWKKt5x-UTOUd4GlKWobfFHVUdkDDgTn82r-t-k Credits: - MirceaKitsune - anthro characters - thebigh - custom textures - wellingtoncrab - new textures in tdm 2.14 - Jackfarmer - briefing video - datiswous - subtitles Voice acting: Bikerdude - Prankster thief, Grumbling watchman Gunmetal - Annoyed thief thebigh - Slacker watchman Ed the Djinn - Briefing voiceover Beta Testers: - datiswous - wesp5 - joebarnin Edited February 25 by Bikerdude 17 Quote

Frost_Salamander Posted February 22 Report Posted February 22 The mission looks gorgeous - nice work guys. I've had 3 crashes while playing it though. They have occurred at seemingly random places too, so no helpful troubleshooting info unfortunately. Anyone else get this? I also got the thing with the overlapping inventory icons. I thought that got fixed recently or did I imagine that? (I'm on beta 5). Also: Spoiler I don't think I came across any 'anthro characters'. Wondering if I missed an entire section or something?

Also: - Thanks, but the new 2.14 textures are doing a chunk of the heavy lifting. - system specs..?, and did you nuke your old darkmodconfig.cfg files before updating to 2.14..? - this might be a core mode issue, that I thought had been resolved. - nope, the resources were used to create the painting. 1 Quote

I did nuke them when I first upgraded to 2.14, but have kept the same ones for the last couple of betas. specs should be fine: Ryzen 5 5600X / 16 GB RAM / RTX 3060 Ti Quote TDM Community Github: https://github.com/thedarkmodcommunity My fan missions: With Kerry000: The Hare in the Snare, Part 1, The Lieutenant Series: In Plain Sight High Expectations Foreign Affairs A Reciprocal Gambit

Yeah windows. I'm not too concerned about it TBH. It could be anything, including something in 2.14. Just thought I'd mention it though because it hasn't been a problem since I played that mission.

wesp5 Posted February 22 Report Posted February 22 (edited) I just replayed this on Windows 11 with a i7 and a humble 1050Ti without crashes. BTW, if you continue to work on this: - The entrance into the cellar is still prone to make the player fall. Why this complicated square inlay with a ladder setup? Please make the ladder and pipe end up flush with the floor so no jumping is required. - If you want to have the player find the dedication, move the hole away from the mission ending and put a wooden bar at the ceiling! That way it would also finally make sense to be able to buy a rope arrow. Edited February 22 by wesp5 1 Quote

irisx Posted February 22 Report Posted February 22 Thanks guys, the mission looks great and kept me on the edge throughout. Perfect use of new assets and the various M.K. references were nicely done. Just to report that I too had consistent crashes on Linux with 2.14b5, most (but not all) of them when trying to frob something. Trying to frob/extinguish the blue lantern consistently led to crash. Spoiler Is this the overlapping issue frost_salamander was referring to? 1 Quote
thebigh Posted February 22 Report Posted February 22 Yeah, that's the overlay issue. As for the crashes, do you have console dumps? These would help in diagnosing what's going wrong. Biker and I did not get anything like that happening when we were building the map.

But I just now realize I'm getting the same type of frob-crashes in Displacement with 2.14b5, so it might be that something was broken with the latest core update. 1 Quote
thebigh Posted February 23 Report Posted February 23 (edited) Yeah, I think 2.14 is having a few teething problems. This is one @stgatilov might need to take a look at. Are you using any mods? I only use the loot counter one. edit: trying to long-frob something when there's nothing to frob is what causes it. That's why you were getting the issue trying to turn off the blue lantern- I made it non-interactable Edited February 23 by thebigh 1 Quote My missions: Stand-alone Duncan Lynch series Collabs Down and Out on Newford Road the Factory Heist A Collector's Errand (with Bikerdude) The Wizard's Treasure A House Call The House of deLisle
irisx Posted February 23 Report Posted February 23 (edited) No, no mods here. But I guess for actually playing it's back to b4 for now... EDIT: no crashes in 2.14b4, but the overlapping icons are there Edited February 23 by irisx Quote
werner Posted February 23 Report Posted February 23 Yesterday I updated to 2.14beta (on Linux, no mods), and it crashed several times, always with right-click action on objects without function, e.g. fake light switches, or in an older mission, an arrow stuck to the wall (which has not been made seizable), or if I tried to open the hidden loot compartment by right-clicking (instead of using the switch hidden somewhere else). So it's not the frob focussing, but the right click, which crashes it, I guess. The overlapping issue appeared, too Quote
irisx Posted February 23 Report Posted February 23 Some weird texturing here Spoiler Was the "Rorschach effect" intentional? Quote

chumbucket91 Posted February 24 Report Posted February 24 Completed on Medium, 17:33 with 574 loot and 2/4 secrets. I found this mission to be fun enough, but quite linear. Enjoyed some of the little architecture details in the sewer, which is surprising to me because usually thats the most drab and my personal least favorite part of any FM. Lots of interesting little arches and pieces of brushwork. I also liked the lighting throughout the level in general - gettin' real milage out of the dusty moonbeams. On the other hand, the number of unopenable doors in the mansion portion annoyed me quite a bit. Its an old and tired complaint, but it always makes me rather painfully aware that there's only half of a virtual house to explore. I'm not super familiar with MirceaKitsune's work? as I think the only FM of theirs I played was Year of the Rat. So I probably missed some references in this map. I didn't find any notable tech issues in the mission that haven't already been posted and laid at the feet of the 2.14 beta. I didn't get any crashing, hooray! My final feeling on this lands around 7/10. Well put together and pretty, but not mind blowing and kinda left me wanting more. Still, I hope its a nice tribute for folks who felt closer to Mircea. 1 Quote

If I restart the mission and speedrun to the objective, the overlapping doesn't occur. But if I go through all the steps, take my time, KO some guys, save a couple of times, collect loot etc. then it happens again. EDIT: could it be just the Spoiler hidden tome that triggers this? It seems that in all cases this was the last loot item to get before it happened. In any case, cycling through inventory twice seems to fix it. Edited February 24 by irisx Quote

So as mentioned before, this isn't we believe an FM issue, but rather a core TDM (2.14.x) issue. Quote
