Reply With QuoteThank you voodoo! That helps me a lot.
you can simply type dbmod_load into Dromed's command window and point it to the dml. the changes will get applied, and then you just save the map or gamesys and it's done. the dmls are pretty well documented so you should have no trouble checking what does what and whether you want the change or not (generally you want them). also, every concrete AI that uses the M-Sleeping Servant metaprop needs to be set up to go aggressive when attacked, will pull the details tomorrow. //ok, you need to add act/react receptrons weaponstim min intensity 0 no max with the effect of removing metaproperty, target obj is me, agent obj is M-AlertCapZero (-3371) on every combat AI (guards, hammers) that starts friendly to the player, but can turn unfriendly if the player performs a hostile action. you could potentially set this on the archetype (-14), but that might have unpredictable side effects. setting this up on the concretes is safer.
the reason for this is that there will always be some people dumb enough to run hdmod without patching up properly first, and for their sake you'll probably want to incorporate at least the most critical gamesys fixes (these simply were not fixed up properly in the fixed gamesys which you have used as base for hdmod);
the rest are considered tweaks, and are not all that important.Code:DML1 // while pseudo-dead, allow efficiency mode to be set even zombie is in combat mode or rendered (required for resurrection to work) ObjProp -1806 AI_Efficiency { "Flags" Allow Effic.

Thank you voodoo! That helps me a lot.
Hello Gecko, how did you make all those mtl files for each texture? Did you do that manually for each one or is it possible to automate it? So many textures in this game...
Respekt für deinen riesigen Texturmod!
Hi Horst,
yes, i did all the .mtl files manually. I don't know any auto function for this.
Danke
edit:
@ voodoo
It is not required to include the DML files to the HD mod pack...after adding all with the "dbmod_load" command right?

yeah, as soon as the dmls are applied, they won't be required anymore - that's the idea (I'd like to clean them up a bit).
Haha Gecko, did you put yourself on one of the new ingame portrait textures? And even your girlfriend / sister??
It's just a guess, but if I'm right with that I have to say you both are really beautiful persons
Anyone else ever see this pop up in random FMs after the HD Mod?
Sorry if it was addressed already.
missing cfg vars. TFix should fix this globally.

By the way, thanks for the help.
weird, as long as you have
in any cfg (TFix has them in cam_ext.cfg), white obj textures should be fixed. maybe you are running some old version? anyway, you shouldn't need anything else once you use TFix (kind of the point).Code:ObjTextures16 MeshTextures16
Would those be found in the HDMOD folder?
There is a separate folder in the mesh folder called Txt16 which has about 6 images.
The object folder has no files with that name. If the HDMOD folder is the right one, (or if it isn't), where would I get the files themselves?
In your Thief main folder there must be a file called dark.cfg. Open it with notepad and look for:
ObjTextures16
MeshTextures16
if those two lines are not in the file, then add them and save the file.
If you already have those lines then I can't help you.
Only one of the lines was missing, but still looks like it worked.
Thanks
I think hdmod overwrites the default TFix cam_ext.cfg, if that's the case, then those two lines need to be included in hdmod's cam_ext.cfg as well for things to work properly.
Why should this 2 lines exist also in the cam_ext.cfg if they are already in the dark.cfg (and the HD mod includes the dark.cfg file!)? This makes no sense for me. But i didn't know that these lines can be written also in the cam_ext.cfg...
Is this a Fan Mission?

because some FMs come with their own dark.cfg, which will override the one that comes with hdmod. having the lines in cam_ext.cfg solves the problem permanently.
Found an error at: The Haunted Cathedral
At the Keepers library the metal doors still use the old 8bit textures which is really immersion breaking. Can this be adressed with the next patch or is there still a proper texture to find / missing?
I have a little problem, Constantine's Sword doesn't have a texture. I'm using the Steam version with TGTool and the Thief Gold HD Texture Mod.
Edit: Nevermind, I fixed it myself. TFix did the trick. If someone's wondering, I installed it like this on a clean Steam version: TFix, TGTool, Thief Gold HD Mod, Thief Enhancement Pack. Everything works perfectly now, including the sword and surround sound. Godly atmosphere! This mod is incredible, thanks Gecko!!

skip TGtool.
Video with texture bugs, not all of those was fixed - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=c1ElZYUtafY
I'm going to say it again - while these are indeed, real issues, you need to provide a way for us to know WHERE these can be found (and by that, I don't mean a "here" arrow on the video). either a quicksave, or player location coordinates (show player location can be enabled for NewDark, if memory serves).
flying around the level in Dromed hoping to find the correct location by luck is NO fun.
also, as I think the language barrier might be the problem here, it'd be nice if another TTLGer who can speak polish could thoroughly explain to him that he needs to do.
About only this video - yes, please run from place to place, to find buggy textures. In buggy hierarchy TFix is, for some reason, over than HD MOD.
the thing is, running around like a headless chicken takes time, a LOT of it - and that time could be spent fixing the actual bugs.
again, you have a good eye when it comes to finding bugs - but you need to learn to submit them properly, videos, screenshots, text descriptions are all ok so it doesn't matter which one you prefer, but a save that can be loaded in Dromed to jump to the proper place instantly is ABSOLUTELY vital. without that save, bugfixing can turn into suffering real fast. for example, it took me about 15 minutes to find this place just to fix that texture in one click. with a save, I could do it in 15 seconds. that means in the time I've spent fixing ONE bug from your report, I could have fixed about 50 bugs that have been reported properly.
to make it short and simple: for every bug you submit, you also need to submit a save. 1 video = 1 bug = 1 save.
Xmodule999, most of those texture bugs have been fixed. You must be using an obsolete version. Those are Gecko's, aren't they?
Voodoo47 and Gecko, why some elevators in level "Return to the Cathedral" are with turbine, some without turbine? With turbine - for example it 5 meters from talismans, without turbine - for example it in St. Tennor's?
