A ton of textures in my main map are screwed up - I think all in textures/darkmod/stone/flat/smooth re-organization.

 

I've changed a couple to what I think are the new ones

 

textures/darkmod/stone/flat/smooth/marble_grey01

textures/darkmod/stone/flat/smooth/marble_white01

 

but two are a different scale and out of line...

 

textures/darkmod/stone/flat/smooth_marble_pattern01_centersun

textures/darkmod/stone/flat/smooth_marble_pattern02_crosshair

 

How can that be? It looks larger and it was already very large.

 

Now I'm finding more...

 

What's the story? I'd like to know why I have this extra work to do to get back to what I had yesterday. :rolleyes:

Comparing with an earlier version it looks like all paths ... flat/smooth/etc... are changed to flat/smooth_etc. I don't know why that was necessary but on its own it means my changing all the effected textures in my map. That is a minor annoyance (though I wish it had been announced.) But I'm puzzled why some surfaces the scale has gone wrong and I'm not sure by what amount. It looks like it might be 2 or 3 or 4 times bigger. Perhaps its a Dark Radiant thing and find and replace restores the default scale?

 

My best option might be to use a text editor and search and replace smooth/ with smooth_ I'll try that next.

This has caused problems with models too, which were using the old shader names.

Mmm.. I see. Well my idea worked for my map apparently. I did a search and replace in a text editor and it fixed the lot in seconds. And they looked scaled OK in DR.

 

Question is, are the textures going to be changed back or stay like this?

Search and replace won't work for models. I'm still curious about the conditions under which they were changed. Established shader names should never be changed without at least a notice.

Who was the last person to modify it before AH? I think his most recent change was just to restore a shader that used to be there for the tub model.

This has only just happened in the last 24 hours. I looked at my map yesterday or the day before to check something else in that area and it was OK. The previous change to the file was about 5 weeks ago. I compared the previous version with the current version so there's no doubt.

      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.

      Was checking out old translation packs and decided to fire up TDM 1.07. Rightful Property with sub-20 FPS areas yay! ( same areas run at 180FPS with cranked eye candy on 2.12 )
