This is not a released mission, right? I see it overrides GUI files of the main menu which should not be overridden: mainmenu_main.gui mainmenu_main.gui mainmenu_background.gui So it was only a matter of time until it got broken. I looked at it in 2.12. Can't say it works perfectly there. I don't see anything "3D" here, even though I see usage of renderDef in the source. I think it should be remade using custom backgrounds that are officially supported today. |

Morning I always thought it looked ok in 2.12 and below. I thought that might be the case, so will look at making a looping video version of the 3D part. |

This was broken in 2.13 Beta02 The fix for the HOM bug in AT1: Lucy's Quest main-menu https://github.com/stgatilov/darkmod_src/commit/2bc32cb69879fe2d488976d5a8082e8080be0427 As a workaround, we could add a CVAR to this line in Session.cpp: } else if ( guiActive && !guiActive->State().GetBool( "gameDraw" )) { Example ( new cvar r_renderDefGUI ) } else if ( guiActive && !guiActive->State().GetBool( "gameDraw" && !r_renderDefGUI.GetBool() )) { |

Yeah, but the question is: is it worth maintaining. Right now the only GUI renderDef is compass, and other items might have similar situation. Having them in main menu is completely another case, and it may break again in the future. If these "3D" objects are non-interactive part of background, it's much more reliable to redo the whole thing as video. There are many missions with custom backgrounds already, we can't break it anyway. |
 |
IMO, it would be nice if this was maintained. I am working on an FM that uses a decent amount of renderdefs, and making looping main menu videos do have some limitations (such as quality, and if a video goes on too long, there can be some lag when trying to navigate the main menu) |

I can add the workaround. I've been stalling since the better fix is to make the 3D gui into a subview but that will take much more work. |

Thanks for looking into this :-) |

First attempt didn't work: } else if ( guiActive && !guiActive->State().GetBool( "gameDraw" ) || r_renderDefGUI.GetBool() ) { |

As of 2.14 - dev17343-11008, dev17332-10999 & dev17330-10984 the main menu will now not show at all, I am getting a black screen. But the menu is in place as I can hear the mouse move over the options from the menu. |

After speaking to Amadeus, he confirmed that 'RenderDef' is used for both the 2D and 3D parts of this menu. RenderDef is also used for the compass, with is now also broken in the latest SVN version image.png (4,543 bytes) |
