Yes, I'd like to try and get this working again. I wonder if the original candle entities are still around somewhere?

Those prefabs are still in the repo, and show how to use oscillating particles. :) Note that they appear to have the doubled light source and doubled particle issue (it'll be really bright and you'll see two particle flames; one moving, one not) which came up for some reason I can't remember (changed definitions?), but they're just an old prefab that shows how it works. Once we have a suitable, friendly, consistent candle system, we should get rid of the prefabs as they are former generation and buggy now.

Ok, I'll take a look, thanks. I should have the next-gen candles done by the end of the weekend and it would be nice to add this in.

Please see http://forums.thedarkmod.com/index.php?showt...st&p=186403 for why this isn't as easy as it sounds (it is actually easy, just a lot of work). It would also waste one extra entity per each candle/torch flame and I am not sure this is worth it :)

      Has anyone had any luck with textures from Polyhaven? Their OpenEXR normal maps seem too washed out and give incorrect shading in the engine.

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to publishing a tutorial on baking normal maps in Blender, since most of the ones we have are inaccessible or years out of date.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