Snags. A few questions for anyone to answer:

 

- underwater_bubbles, currently defined in tdm_sfx_world under the 'Musical' section (why). Are these being used in any actual manner?

 

- frob_lever_metal_large01 and frob_lever_metal_large02 are two defined shaders with two sounds. Are these supposed to be called upon as unique events, or should they be placed into a single shader?

 

- tdm_ambient_city.sndshd. Seems like this one's referencing files from some Dark Mod long ago. Is being used for anything present in the current build?

When I made the directory reorg and sorted the shaders a bit, I did a lot of copy/paste type grunt work, so some sound or shader defs might have slipped through... this shader file looks like I have begun to sort through the definitions, but didn't finish it. :|

 

The lever sounds being seperate shaders is probably due to having one sound for "on/off" each.

 

As to what is currently in use, I can't help there, sorry. I had the same problem back then, some definitions looked outdated, but I didn't dare to delete them in fear of breaking something.

Alright. I wanted to take a fairly liberal approach to this, but I suppose it's in the best interest of everyone if I just go fairly conservative. I don't want to go around breaking everything -- but then that probably isn't much of a deal anyway.

 

If you break something, we can always figure it out and restore stuff from SVN. :)

      Does anyone actually use the Normalise button in the Surface inspector? Even after looking at the code I'm not quite sure what it's for.

      Turns out my 15th anniversary mission idea has already been done once or twice before! I've been beaten to the punch once again, but I suppose that's to be expected when there's over 170 FMs out there, eh? I'm not complaining though, I love learning new tricks and taking inspiration from past FMs. Best of luck on your own fan missions!

      I wanna play Doom 3, but fhDoom has much better features than dhewm3, yet fhDoom is old, outdated and probably not supported. Damn!
      Makes me think that TDM engine for Doom 3 itself would actually be perfect.

      Maybe a bit of advice ? In the FM series I'm preparing, the two main characters have the given names Toby and Agnes (it's the protagonist and deuteragonist, respectively), I've been toying with the idea of giving them family names as well, since many of the FM series have named protagonists who have surnames. Toby's from a family who were usually farriers, though he eventually wound up working as a cobbler (this serves as a daylight "front" for his night time thieving). Would it make sense if the man's popularly accepted family name was Farrier ? It's an existing, though less common English surname, and it directly refers to the profession practiced by his relatives. Your suggestions ?

      Looks like the "Reverse April Fools" releases were too well hidden. Darkfate still hasn't acknowledge all the new releases. Did you play any of the new April Fools missions?
