Hey there everybody.

 

I just finished my first fm and could need a couple of betatesters.

 

So if you're interrested just say it and I pm you the link.

 

Something I want to mention:

 

- there is a garden in this mission with relatively bad performance (it's still playable on my machine, but low_end machines may have problems here), the rest of the mission should run smooth

- in the garden the sky_portal sometimes breaks, but only if you look from certain positions into certain directions,

static skies work nice, so I'll replace it if its to annoying

- sometimes the AI pathfinding is not optimal

- english isn't my first language, so I could need some feedback on the readables

 

that's it, thanks in advice ^_^

I'd love to help, but you seem to have a good sized pool of testers already, and I have my own mission to eventually finish, so unless you desperately need another body, I'll sit this one out. You're already in good hands :)

Intel Sandy Bridge i7 2600K @ 3.4ghz stock clocks
8gb Kingston 1600mhz CL8 XMP RAM stock frequency
Sapphire Radeon HD7870 2GB FLeX GHz Edition @ stock @ 1920x1080

@Bikerdude: nearly finished I hope, I'm waiting for some replies, but as far as I can see there are only some minor tweaks left

so I hope I'll can "officially release" it within the next few days ^_^

Even though "hidden beta testing" is a tradition here and at TTLG. I don't see what would be wrong with

an "open beta".

 

Eg:

 

1) Release the mission as "Name_of_mission_open_beta"

2) Watch the release thread for bug reports

3) Fix and re-release as the official version

 

Sure, some authors are self-conscience about releasing their work to the public in this state

but it would help to have more eyes in these betas. Most HL2 maps are tested by hundreds of

players. If we get over 10 folks testing a mission that's a very large beta here. :)

Please visit TDM's IndieDB site and help promote the mod:

(Yeah, shameless promotion... but traffic is traffic folks...)

I meant that it is currently beta-testet so I can open a "Fan Mission XXX by ..." Thread in the next few days so everyone can download and play it ;)

the perf? :huh:

 

EDIT: Ah, I guess you mean performance, well it isn't all to bad and I heard no complaints from my betatesters so far

 

there is one location in the map where framerate drops a bit, but it was still playable so far, I guess only old graphic cards may have problems with that (I have a radeon HD 5770)

      Was checking out old translation packs and decided to fire up TDM 1.07. Rightful Property with sub-20 FPS areas yay! ( same areas run at 180FPS with cranked eye candy on 2.12 )

      i am so euphoric to see new FMs keep coming out and I am keen to try it out in my leisure time, then suddenly my PC is spouting a couple of S.M.A.R.T errors...
      tbf i cannot afford myself to miss my network emulator image file&progress, important ebooks, hyper-v checkpoint & hyper-v export and the precious thief & TDM gamesaves. Don't fall yourself into & lay your hands on crappy SSD

      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.
