We will be happy when (and if) we release a full-length, feature-rich campaign -- believe me, it is hard enough as it is. It wasn't our intention to offer radical innovation in the field of stealth ga

In any case, I think if anyone has earned the right to a little tounge in cheek sarcasm, it's Greebo. I don't think anyone on the team would dispute that they are two of the unsung heroes of the Mod.

Aha! Probably was drunk, lol.

 

By the way how goes that Haunted City level you agreed to work on a couple of months ago? I believe that most of the people working on The Crucible campaign are near complition of their specific level and would like to hear about your progress on The Haunted City level.

Glad I'm not the only one who has a history of drunk-posting around here, heh heh. I wrote the most horrendously drunken PM to somebody that was like 2 pages long in a request to beta-test an FM like 2 years ago. Read it the next morning, most hilarious thing i've ever seen in my life.

LOL. The haunted city idea was another which never got started. I can't blame that on being drunk though. I only recently got DR working again and now there is the unusual gameplay contest started, so what I might have been working on before is now on hold.

 

 

But back on topic, C-of-O looks frakking fantastic and I am very much looking forward to this professional mission.

Hello I was wondering if you guys needed any help with voice actors at all? Maybe someone to narrate the opening pieces to the missions or just a couple of ingame voices here and there.

 

If you want to see what I can do I posted a couple of examples of some little voice things I have done in the past here http://forums.thedarkmod.com/topic/14545-offer-voice-acting-sample-inside/

 

Please send me a message if and what you need done.

Thanks for your offer, Tyler! Your voice samples are very good, and it looks like you can do a range of different people (although now I wish we had a schemer character like King John's assassin! :D). We already have a voice actor for the protagonist (and he has already done a lot of work for us), but there are other roles, particularly if you feel up for voicing a lot of miscellaneous people from all walks of life.

 

Bikerdude, please include me in your PM so we can talk.

 

Bikerdude, why no updated screenshots yet? :<

I will be honest: the campaign has not been progressing much in the last few months. Our team is small, burned out and/or burdened with real life work. We are trying to bring you the campaign, but its first releases may have to happen on a mission-by-mission basis. We ask for all your understanding on this issue, but that is the reality we have to contend with for the time being.

Come the time of peril, did the ground gape, and did the dead rest unquiet 'gainst us. Our bands of iron and hammers of stone prevailed not, and some did doubt the Builder's plan. But the seals held strong, and the few did triumph, and the doubters were lain into the foundations of the new sanctum. -- Collected letters of the Smith-in-Exile, Civitas Approved

I'd like you to ask two questions then. Could you give us a rough number of the amount of missions planned? And (controversial question) will any of Dram's famous unreleased maps be featured in the campaign?

I really appreciate everyone who's contributed to the Dark Mod in any capacity. There's obviously no rush, and thanks to the Thief announcement, it seems likely that Dark Mod will be featured and cited frequently throughout the year as a true Thief experience. I just completed FIdcal's excellent 'Teach yourself to mod in one day' guide and have started to plan out a very humble mission. I hope I won't bug folks with too many questions.

Forgive my ignorance but what is a campaign thread? is it a thread that only people contributing to the campaign can see or something?

The campaign is about half the length of Thief Gold. All missions had been worked on previously, and were brought together in the campaign. They range from large to very-very large. I cannot be more precise than that.

In terms of play time, mission size or mission count?

      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?
