Can you say "OMG BUMP"?

Hidon has so graciously taken up the task of updating SMDM 1.1 for bug fixes and changes. Once upon a time I had a list of things that needs fixing/chaging/removed/etc...but in the giant void that is my brain, I don't remember where I placed it nor can I remember any of it. So this is where you guys come in (I hope), please post any bug you find in SMDM and report it directly in this thread. This included bugs, any optimizations you can think of, any maps that need to be removed (I know of one right off the bat), etc.

I'll go ahead and say that I'll probably be separating all of the duel maps via the naming template "SMDUEL##" so folks who run a server with SMDM won't have to manually setup a special map rotation that will skip the duel maps.

Also, I believe Blzut has a fancy tool which can convert the wad into a .pk3 (he sent me a .pk3 version of SMDM a while back...not sure what happened to it though). I haven't talked to Blzut in a long while, but hopefully he'd still be willing to do this once v1.2 is done and ready to ship.

Anywho, please help Hidon and I with this endeavor!

OMG BUMP!

I still have the pk3 that I made and I believe it was more than just the conversion output of my program. If my memory serves me correctly, then no, I will not risk getting carpal tunnel over SMDM again. If I'm not mistaken its the sbbtmrtr.zip that's in with the SMII files.

Yes, Any help with listing the bugs and things needed to be changed for Sabbat Martyr v1.2 would me much appreciated.

List Anything, like HOMs, other Graphical Glitches, Gameplay issues, to Lag issues(Both PC and Net lags), etc.

Get Set..... GO!

Aha, heh I don't blame ya . I'll check to see if I have that floating around my SMII folder somewhere...if so, I'll forward it to Hidon...though I know he's already made some changes, so I dunno I may just have to convert it myself later on.

Erm, well, if bot gameplay is included, on the map "MarbHell" it's extremely easy to evade the bots entirely by hiding in one of the side passages, Bots will completely ignore you while you hold the hellstone.

If you get the time, could you include a screenshot(s) of the area in question? I dunno if Hidon wants to do map bug fixes or not, but in case he doesn't some sort of image reference would be nice so I can go back and do it myself.

*edit*

Oh, just remembered something. The statusbar needs a SCORE patch. I might be able to hack together one later.

MarbHell should not be a possession. I slung the CMPGNINF entry for that map together in about 3 seconds and didn't take into account the fact that it has an insta-death pit which ruins any game of Possession.

Also, that map needs more player starts.

Alright, so then that map needs it's CMPGNINF entry changed to DM [probably] and needs more player starts. If Theshooter7 can get me a screenshot of that area in question, then I'll update it as well.

Keep 'em coming guys.

If you use the 'Smooth' particle style, the custom particle graphics don't have transparency, so there's black boxes around them.

how is it even possible to have custom particles??? (that replaces those fountain/blood/wallhit particles)

Duh, replacing it's graphic.

If you're wondering, it uses GLPART, and the Circle style uses GLPART2.

Replacing the square is impossible.

They're in Textures in the Skulltag PK3.

You can even replace the Dynamic Light glow by replacing GLLIGHT.

intresting.

didn't know this before. nice to know

Oh yea, I forgot about that. No worries, I'll use the new custom particle graphic in IGPack to replace it.

The custom particle has been long fixed on my end. I've added PNG Transparency to them.

Ah ok good! Hidon, if you can, try to make a list of the things you've already changed. Hopefully you logged everything in the official changelog, yes?

I made my own changelog, here is what I got so far. More to come on my "To-Do" list.

Anything else, guys? I realize hardly anyone plays SMDM anymore these days, but I still would greatly appreciate any feedback and bug reports you guys can remember or find.

Hidon, could you possibly post your to-do list when you get a spare moment? It may jostle some of the to-dos I need to take care of that I've forgotten about.

Slight update - I PM'd Hidon a few weeks ago asking for the work he had done, but all I got back was bad news . As some of you may already know, he lost years worth of work due to a hard drive failure. So...all of the work that was done for version v1.2 is gone.

In light of this though, I am still planning on releasing v1.2. Since there doesn't seem to be a whole lot that needs to be done, I will be working on this after IGPack v1.1 is done and released. Here's the To-Do list I compiled:



So, again, I will need the support of the community to help me spot any bugs that need fixing. As long as I'm able to fix the problem myself, I should be able to get a v1.2 out within a few days.

HEY LOOK DIS IZ UH BUMP

abdulmuhsee sent me a PM asking for a link to SMDM. It was then that I realized the link at /idgames was never updated to v1.1. So since abdulmuhsee needed a download link and I wasn't sure if any existed, I put up an official link in /mekastuff. You can grab it below.

SMDM v1.1
readme

At some point I'll update the /idgames link with the latest version. But until then, use the above.

Also, I would really love to update SMDM to v1.2 one day. When I say "one day"...I mean I don't know when I'll actually got around to doing it . But in order to do that however, I'll need someone to list off bugs and things that need to be fixed/changed. As you can see, we tried to get the ball rolling a while back, but Hidon's HDD catastrophe pretty much halted our efforts. So please, if anyone notices something that isn't in the current "to-do" list that needs to be there, please let me know. Thanks
