I wouldn't be surprised if it's a byproduct of SCP's lighting upgrades. Not saying you're wrong, only hypothesizing as to the reason for it.

This texture is misaligned.
Shown here with and without ShTUP and 400. (I feared It might be a texture mod problem so I turned them off and looked again.)

This seems to happen because I am skipping earth by teleporting the player to one of the career choice tripwires immediately via squirrel. What is it that SCP needs to not have the mid-game activation error be tripped?

« on: 23. February 2025, 06:32:25 »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.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dZZ8Fvwn_gQ
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 😅

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.

There's only one song trigger in the entire level, and it's in final boss room, so this is a mystery.
Do you have any saves from the Body of the Many level?

« on: 07. January 2025, 18:08:43 »It kind of is, because any mod that ancient was created without any awareness of SCP, NewDark, Dark Mod Manager, or current modding best practices. Truly a mod from the stone age.
It would be an interesting project to recreate the level selector in a modern, compatible way. Probably the best approach would be to teleport the player to a custom map with all the selector stuff instead of embedding it into earth.mis. Would still need to provide separate versions for SCP and SecMod since they use custom gamesyses and player scripts.

« on: 04. January 2025, 13:45:10 »Okay, how about these. Note that I've deliberately tried to keep these as short as possible because HUD message text is only visible for a few seconds, and because the longer any text is, the more likely people won't even bother reading it.
Navy: "Enlist in the Navy to focus on technical skills."
Marines: "Enlist in the Marines to focus on weapon skills."
OSA: "Enlist in the OSA to focus on psionic skills. Not recommended for inexperienced players."
I think this is great. Regarding Sarge945's worry that it will break immersion, I don't think that's a consideration, and even if it was, then this takes place before the game proper, so it won't effect the game experience, in my opinion.
Posted by: ZylonBane
« on: 04. January 2025, 02:54:19 »The career sequence on the space station pops up which stats you gain from each choice, so that immersion-breaking train left the station 25 years ago. The good news is that having text pop up when you approach a decision door is established UI precedent.
Posted by: sarge945
« on: 04. January 2025, 02:19:41 »I've seen more than a few first-time SS2 players pick OSA because of course psi powers are like so totally cool man, and subsequently have a terrible time. I wonder if it would be overkill to, when players approach the OSA tunnel, pop up an onscreen message something like "Warning, not recommended for inexperienced players."
Maybe even expand this to a popup for every service, since this area can be frustratingly cryptic for first-time players. Like if you approach the Navy tunnel, you'd get something like "Enlist in the Navy for a career focused on technical skills." Marines would get "Enlist in the Marines for a career focused on weapons." or whatever. Sure this sort of thing seems obvious to us, but at this point the game hasn't straight up said it, and character creation is the last place you want to be coy with the player.
I feel like the 3 preceeding training booths already explain in detail what each branch of service does, and having messages pop up in the middle of these hallways seems like it would be very intrusive.
If you REALLY want to do this, you can make it more immersive by putting one of the tutorial computers on the wall in the hallway leading to the career selection, with text like:
"Here, you will need to select a branch of service. This choice is permanent and cannot be undone.
Your branch of service will determine what choices you are offered over the next 4 years, however anyone is free to pursue any skills they wish once training is complete.
The Marines are focused on weapon skills, the Navy are focused on Technical skills, and the OSA is focused on psionics.
OSA is not recommended for first time players!"
