Few oddities in the Nautical folder

I was uploading a bunch of new models and noticed that there are some really cool models in the Nautical folder that I would never would have expected to find there. I think pinkdot just put all the parts of his galleon into that folder, but some of the models, like the ship lantern, window models, and a very cool winch model, I would never think to look in the "Nautical" folder for. Any objections if I move them to more appropriate spots (window to windows folder, lantern to lights, etc)?

Yes, they would be better in the standard folder structure types. Don't think I've even seen the winch that I recall. Sounds like it would go in mechanical and yes, light nautical is better than nautical light.

 

It's likely the only map they would break is the galleon one.

Ok, I'll go ahead and move the models.

 

The texture issue is a separate thing...there are lots of fairly generic textures in the model folder that could also be used for brushes. That would be a nice organizational task for someone who is looking for something to do.

I dimly remember already posting about this and I even created one or two material shaders using model textures (for wood), but I didn't have the time to go through all of them.

There's two I'm not quite sure where to place:

 

cannon (mechanical or weapon?)

 

metal grating (mechanical? window?)

I would put cannon under weapon but wherever it goes the mapper might not think of it. This is why I want cross-referencing or bookmark links in mechanical and also decorative.

 

The grating I would put in mechanical with a link from windows and waterworks as a drain. Also in dungeon.

I don't know, those cross-referenced links have the potential to create a huge mess. We'd quickly have more of them then we would actual models.

      I tried to upscale the TDM logo video. First try:

      briefing_video.mp4 You can test it ingame by making a copy of the core tdm_gui.mtr and place it in your-tdm-root/materials/ , then edit line 249 of that file into the location where you placed the new briefing.mp4 file.
      What I did was I extracted all the image files, then used Upscayl to upscale the images using General photo (Real-Esrgan) upscale setting and then turn it back into a video.
      I might have to crop it a bit, the logo looks smaller on screen (or maybe it's actually better this way?). My video editor turned it into a 16:9 video, which I think overal looks better than 1:1 video of original.

      Finally got round to publishing a tutorial on baking normal maps in Blender, since most of the ones we have are inaccessible or years out of date.

      The FAQ wiki is almost a proper FAQ now. Probably need to spin-off a bunch of the "remedies" for playing older TDM versions into their own article.
