The truth is it's not coming along at all...

 

It's in need of a full rewrite which I estimate to take one or two months of straight coding with no distractions. You can probably estimate for yourself how likely that is in my situation.

 

Oh crap, nevermind then haha :)

Well we make the odd bugfix in response to issues such as the decal problems (which should hopefully all be resolved now), but in terms of major improvements like shadows etc, yes that is certainly not happening any time soon.

It's awkward because it appears to z-fight in DR, but the material shader uses a polygon offset so it doesn't z-fight in-game. Maybe, rather, a feature (OH BOY MORE FEATURES) to add to the DR renderer/texture parser?

Ag, that means I've been wasting my time moving decals forever <_< Lol o well.

 

A new problem I've noticed is when you move the vertex of a light, then you copy it and try and move it again sometimes it just wont allow you to move the vertex.

Another small thing found:

load up a map so it's on the quick list when you open the file tab. Move the map file so that it doesn't exist in the same area. Now go to file> then load your map from the bottom of the quick list. DR should probably say something like "map not found" but rather it doesn't do anything.

It also doesn't pop up an error if it fails to open the file because it cant parse it. I renamed a rar to .map and forgot that I had done so, spent a minute trying to open the map which would silently fail - a bit worrying until I figured out it wasnt an actual map file! :)

 

Want a tracker entry for these greebo? (since they are pretty much the same problem depending on how you fix it)

Exactly, with you doing as much work as you are, I'm grateful for whatever I get. Keep up the awesome work it's greatly appreciated. <3

I always assumed I'd taste like boot leather.

Yes, please file an entry.

I agree so much especially now that you have a baby in your house. You are the best Greebo :)

Not at the moment, but I agree we do need to have more control over things like that. I would like to add a toolbar to the camera view at some point, with options to control lighting, rendering etc in a more accessible way.

Just tried fixup from the menu without success. I'm just wondering if the easiest route is for me to download a perl 'runner' but a quick google and it's not clear what is best to get. I don't want to get into writing the code just something I can run and enter a path/file data for it to run, preferably all gui! :) I might never need it again so I don't want to waste any time on this when I could do a search and replace in a text editor over maybe half an hour or so.

      Finally got my PC back from the shop after my SSD got corrupted a week ago and damaged my motherboard. Scary stuff, but thank goodness it happened right after two months of FM development instead of wiping all my work before I could release it. New SSD, repaired Motherboard and BIOS, and we're ready to start working on my second FM with some added version control in the cloud just to be safe!

      I've updated the articles for your FMs and your author category at the wiki. Your newer nickname (DeTeEff) now comes first, and the one in parentheses is your older nickname (Fieldmedic). Just to avoid confusing people who played your FMs years ago and remember your older nickname. I've added a wiki article for your latest FM, Who Watches the Watcher?, as part of my current updating efforts. Unless I overlooked something, you have five different FMs so far.

      I've finally managed to log in to The Dark Mod Wiki. I'm back in the saddle and before the holidays start in full, I'll be adding a few new FM articles and doing other updates. Written in Stone is already done.

      You cannot receive PMs. Could you please be so kind and check your mailbox if it is full (or maybe you switched off the function)?
