Nice! The third picture could use some more work (that wall is a tad unnatural), but the others are interesting.

Hello thieves,  the other day I realized my last Volta release was in 2017! Time really flies.  After years of fiddling with this project, I'm ready to announce the remaining missions in the Volt

Added some temporary lights to FM that is just entering beta - I guess there is not much to show if all lights are off in your mission...   http://forums.thedarkmod.com/topic/19886-fm-marsh-of-rahena-

Got back to DR and added a few rooms to my WIP ...

This is some pics from me playing around with Dark Radiant and TDM assets, there's no "story" to it, just playing around, but it could grow into something in time, who knows.

 

Is WIP btw. :)

You are aware TDM already has a FM called "A House Of Locked Secrets" ? Or was it named that for another reason?

 

Also, the screenshots look good!

When you dmap your map and enter it via map "mapname.map" and take screenshots, the screenshot will be named after the last mission played. So I assume, he just has played "A House of Locked Secrets" last, before testing his map / taking the screenshots.

Thanks guys, about the screen naming, destined is right :) i still don't know how to change the main menu so it is still showing my last played mission (and a very nice mission). ;)

 

BTW new WIP

I've been on a DarkRadiant binge today and I'm coming down from the 20-something hour high. In the later part of the day I decided to experiment with cubemaps on textures and just generally try come up with good lookinpoint and ambient light, with satisfactory results:


GNFXr3t.jpg
ci33Bi8.jpg
mAuevJ0.jpg



Just the crappiest test map, but the materials weren't too hard to hack together. There's obvious oddities though, like the sofa being huge in that second screenshot. I know environment maps aren't supposed to align like real reflections do but the envshot command giving crappy pictures just exacerbates the issue. I guess there really isn't a proper cubemapping pipeline, you gotta make a material definition for every single texture, on every single cubemap you'd want to use.

I think it's definitely usable though, with some way blurrier and generic cubemaps (maybe even the default gen1) it gives a nice illusion of wood varnish, or a particularly wet surface. Now if you'll excuse me I'm off to crash to bed and sleep until next week. :wacko:

Yes, but it looks well most of all in the first picture.

The others looks like the overdone gloss in early Source games. Don't get me wrong. VERY good job!

"I really perceive that vanity about which most men merely prate — the vanity of the human or temporal life. I live continually in a reverie of the future. I have no faith in human perfectibility. I think that human exertion will have no appreciable effect upon humanity. Man is now only more active — not more happy — nor more wise, than he was 6000 years ago. The result will never vary — and to suppose that it will, is to suppose that the foregone man has lived in vain — that the foregone time is but the rudiment of the future — that the myriads who have perished have not been upon equal footing with ourselves — nor are we with our posterity. I cannot agree to lose sight of man the individual, in man the mass."...

- 2 July 1844 letter to James Russell Lowell from Edgar Allan Poe.

You can use scale and translate to tune the reflection better but, yes, parallax corrected cubemaps would be ideal:

Penny Dreadful 3: now at 5600 brushes, 2500 patches and 2200 entities, and growing steadily. The exteriors areas are mostly done, and my focus is on the interiors, but the map is still developing as I iterate in new areas the player can discover (invariably creating extra work for myself).

      Does anyone actually use the Normalise button in the Surface inspector? Even after looking at the code I'm not quite sure what it's for.

      Turns out my 15th anniversary mission idea has already been done once or twice before! I've been beaten to the punch once again, but I suppose that's to be expected when there's over 170 FMs out there, eh? I'm not complaining though, I love learning new tricks and taking inspiration from past FMs. Best of luck on your own fan missions!

      I wanna play Doom 3, but fhDoom has much better features than dhewm3, yet fhDoom is old, outdated and probably not supported. Damn!
      Makes me think that TDM engine for Doom 3 itself would actually be perfect.

      Maybe a bit of advice ? In the FM series I'm preparing, the two main characters have the given names Toby and Agnes (it's the protagonist and deuteragonist, respectively), I've been toying with the idea of giving them family names as well, since many of the FM series have named protagonists who have surnames. Toby's from a family who were usually farriers, though he eventually wound up working as a cobbler (this serves as a daylight "front" for his night time thieving). Would it make sense if the man's popularly accepted family name was Farrier ? It's an existing, though less common English surname, and it directly refers to the profession practiced by his relatives. Your suggestions ?

      Looks like the "Reverse April Fools" releases were too well hidden. Darkfate still hasn't acknowledge all the new releases. Did you play any of the new April Fools missions?
