peter_spy, Destined I made you a screenshot. I think it looks very nice : )

That was the exacly the reason why I wanted them to be opend only from the inside: there is only a handle on the inside, and they open to the outside : ) I made the latch on the door handle to move also when the door is closed , and replaced the standard sound to one that sounds like it locks again with i click.

I know I know, will build the release version but all seems good!

It might also be worth mentioning we're on MandaloreGaming's list of games to review (I was pleasantly surprised to find TDM there; totally wasn't expecting it): https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1_K3ziSxT9zcUUGCddS4sF1uNJTWHSbOwB1CQX2Rx4Uo/edit#gid=0 If that ever happens, we may see some more attention directed our way!

My two sense is, this particular topic has been brought up and beaten to death various times over the years. It would require a whole lotta work, for minimal gain, maybe even some loss. So it's not gonna happen. As a player and a fan, I honestly don't really want it to. Rampant commercialism is a big part of what has ruined modern games, to the point that I won't even download them for free.

This isn't something like a press release. When I update my patches, I get a short mentioning in his "Evening Patches" section! This should be enough for new TDM missions and if nobody else wants to do it, I could start it from this month on...

That's my personal perspective too, and why I don't use "non-commercial use only" licenses for my own projects. There's a good reason the GPL does not exclude commercial use, and it's not because the FSF are a bunch of raging capitalists. It's because defining "commercial use" is actually not all that easy (I've seen some lawyers suggest that using an NC-only asset on a free Wordpress blog might be a violation, because the presence of ads makes it commercial use), and such restrictions are unnecessary anyway provided the "sharealike" clauses are complied with. Indeed, it's actually quite common for commercial users of GPL code (IBM, Red Hat, even Microsoft these days) to contribute valuable improvements to that code, so locking all of these companies out of the ecosystem would not benefit anybody. However, changing the license of the Dark Mod itself is pretty much impossible for reasons that others have explained.

Speaking of promoting TDM, I emailed Blues News and they agree to make announcements for each new mission ! This would result in TDM regularily being mentioned on at least one gaming news site. Maybe we could contact other news sites too? Also is there a way to get download numbers of the mod? To see whether something like this has any influence at all. And where would I get info about newls released missions? The internal downloader or the board here?

Actually legal entities are there to separate your personal assets from the project assets in case of demand. Otherwise your personal goodies are already exposed. If you are behind a legal entity they cannot take more than what the legal entity owns. What remembers me of this video. By the way Steam Support replied with an useless generic message:

The Dark Mod has been promoted on some decently trafficked sites, it's had a ton of exposure over the years. We were the FASTEST EVER game to be voted to be Greenlit on Steam. Ever. It was an insane moment.

You'll want to use patches to achieve a round effect: http://wiki.thedarkmod.com/index.php?title=Patches Most relevant to you would be Cylinders and Cones (for the inside and outside walls), and curves (for filling the gap between around the rim). The patch inspector (shift+s) is also your friend when forcing subdivisions to be the same, thus avoiding holes where things meet up.
