no, I'm indifferent. hmm.. that's probably even worse.

well, as long as I can fix stuff, nobody really cares.

I'm in the lets modify the description to make it more apparent and call it good camp. I really like how it currently works, needing to find a new weapon if the current one was not modified fully under the Tinker effects included.

Since SS2EE25AR became available, I've been seeing so much bitching online about how SCP's enhanced Tinker upgrade (which improves weapon modifications) doesn't make previously-modified weapons magically become better the moment you acquire the Tinker upgrade. This would of course be nonsensical.

But it is true that SS2's weapon mod system is rather opaque about its stat changes, on top of limiting weapons to two "levels" of modification, vs a more free-form system like Deus Ex uses. So once you've leveled up a weapon without Tinker, it's impossible to improve it further after getting Tinker, not due to logic, but just due to how the limited modding system works. It's even possible to have partially-Tinkered weapons, if you mod to level 1, get Tinker, then mod to level 2. What a mess.

So I've been thinking about changing how the improved Tinker works. Instead of making mod levels 1 and 2 better, they would be the same as vanilla, but then Tinker would unlock a mod level 3, which would upgrade a weapon to the same stats that Tinkered level 2 currently does.

I think this adjustment would make the whole thing just generally easier to understand and manage. But it would introduce a mod level that doesn't exist in the standard game. What do y'all think?

Hello, i just wanted to say that in 25th anniv. edition, some of the doors, on their backside, the texture is mirrored wrongly. I cant remember if it was like that in the original tho. Example are many single doors on the command deck, like in the "romantic" place, the door leading to the four upper floor rooms, just in front of the front desk corner(Also many doors look like their texture is scaled a bit ill, like a bit zoomed in..)

Right, teleporting out of the escape pod and then still ending up in the BotM after a few seconds would feel really bizarre, should disable it there.

It's not like you can get around it, you still have to go back and fight them later.

I don't like it, feels arbitrarily restrictive for no benefit.

Most people wouldn't even think of doing it anyway, and I see no logical reason why you wouldn't be able to to do it, is the brain jamming teleports for some reason?  It's not like the brain is even a traditional boss fight anyway.  You can just walk out and go back to the pool if you want to, so why can't you go back further?

Currently debating whether, in the Body of the Many, it should be possible to teleport back to before the "point of no return" leading to the boss fight.

Why wouldn't you be able to?  What harm does it do?

Dark essentially has some things happening to vertices that are outside the screen, it's just part of the renderer.

Indeed, we certainly wood like to fix them.

Hello, I've noticed a weird texture lighting issue on a lumber of objects throughout the game.

These are the ones foremost in my mind, though there are more.

Also, if this turns out to be a SS2tool or New Dark issue, let me know.

Thank you.

I have recently realized that all the customized objects in SCP (e.g. keypad status lights, security camera custom lights, etc.) required someone at Night Dive to make remastered variants of those objects.

Sorry dudes.

I just can't decide if this door installed six inches up the wall is intentional or not.

Just set whatever QBSet object 15 sets, which is completely subject to change between SCP versions.

It was an unanticipated interaction with hooks being placed in BotM for modders to add background music. Turns out that if you transition to a new level without explicitly shutting off any currently playing (or just triggered to play) music, Dark will immediately start playing the next level's music.

Anyway, on a different topic...

It's always bugged me that when you destroy the Med/Sci wall consoles, it leaves behind absolutely blank wall, as if the console was never there. To address this, I've come up with a way to spawn a decal on the wall behind consoles when they're destroyed.

The problem is that to do this properly would require unique artwork. What should the wall behind these things look like? Some sort of mounting bracket? Any artistic types out there have any ideas? @eldrone?

Had some many times I was going to do this but didn't want to mess with the regular behaviour 😅

yes, I would say mounting bracket/port.

no, just Dark being Dark.

Thank you so much!

Good lord, that should've been overridden. I have no idea how that happened.

I am so sorry about this, I don't even know what to say. I've deleted every other save I've had, copy pasted my save0 into a new save slot, and ran it twice to make sure it loads as a BOTM save. And I've also made sure the error I initially reported is still occurring.

I am so sorry about this again.

Sorry about that. Yes, I have a BOTM save file and I've just made sure this one also plays the music.

I've uploaded a save file with two issues to report.

-Crashed at the loading screen after first run of BOTM, requiring me to start over from the chapter's beginning.
-"Cyberspace" remix played for the entirety of "Where Am I" instead of just the final boss arena

I only have SS2Tool and SCP Beta 6 installed.

That's a red assassin though, so it's not a spawn. That one in particular is actually placed in mid-air.

It's ashamed of how ugly its character model is.

I like it.

Added a sound to trainers and OS upgrade stations opening. I can't decide if it sounds too low-tech compared to the other sound effects.
