not sure how to do that, as its not copy/paste, tried that.....could you gave me instructions and will happily do so.

* Go to the area that's got the problem and do a quick save. (Typically, Ctrl-S or Alt-S, depending on how your controls are rigged under the Options page.) If possible, aim the player camera at the problem area.
* Close the game and look in the Saves folder, and you should see a file named quick.sav.
* Zip it up and send it to whomever.

Now, when they load that file into their game, it will open up in exactly the same place, including camera angles, just as you saved it.

you can also upload it to an online storage of your preference (gdrive, mediafire, sendspace, and trillion other ones), and post the download link on the forum. as Ive said, unless the problem happens at the start location, everyone should include a savegame with his bugreport.

white blackjack actually implies incorrect dark.cfg, btw.

Thanks Ricebug & Voodoo47, who's collecting NewDark queries and I'll email them direct ?

best to post them here, for now. optimally, in the SSD (screenshot, save, description) format. also, checked the Dread FM real quick, and yes, it has its own dark.cfg, and surely enough, it's missing some required params;

Code:

ObjTextures16
MeshTextures16

add these two lines, and it will work properly. also, I have just tried to place them into cam_ext.cfg, and it worked, so the next version of TFix will solve this for good, no white textures anywhere, ever.

I am, but it probably would be a good idea to give them also to ricebug, because ricebug is looking to fix some FM issues.

@ lupus and ricebug

quicksaves

1. The Keep.....(https://drive.google.com/file/d/0B7UExWqHXPI2NWtvTldqVVpOWXM/edit?usp=sharing)

In secret area in sewers, there are 4 scrolls and you choose one to collect a bonus, but nothing is added to inventory regardless of which one you choose......NewDark issue ?

2. Nightcrawler ( shadow of doubt series mission 5 ).....(https://drive.google.com/file/d/0B7UExWqHXPI2ZGZSM05JaVZ5UFE/edit?usp=sharing)

bizzarely you need to use the 'letter' to open this gate, makes unlocking noise but gate does not open....NewDark issue...?

both screenshots are above, and in both cases neither issue prevents finishing the fm
