A question about Bletchley Park


Cambridge Spy

Recommended Posts

Anyone familiar with Bletchley Park? I want to find out who were responsible for security at the estate. Those of you who played Death to Spies: Moment of Truth, and I'm betting there are quite a few of them, will know what I'm talking about. I'm thinking of making the guards at Bletchley Park either MI5 or the Home Guard, but I don't know if either of them actually guarded the estate. I know for a fact that Olivia Newton-John's father was an MI5 officer stationed in Bletchley Park, but that's all I know about the security detail. Is anyone able to help me? Thanks!

 

UPDATE: Never mind, I found out which branch to use - the British Army's Intelligence Corps.

british Military police, they point their weapons (usually semi-automatic rifle) at you at all times if they can see you, the safety is off and there trigger finger is close to the trigger, they guard all secret sites in the uk, don't know what the uniform was during the 2nd world war. there's a report somewhere of them guarding the front gate at Bletchley park during the 2nd world war.

That could work too! I could have MPs guarding the entrance and have Intelligence troops guard the estate itself. Thanks!

Okay, now the only problem remaining is changing the uniforms. I've worked out how to change the berets, but I need your help in changing the cap badges and creating NormalMap textures of them. Here are the textures:

Here's what I want you to do:

 

Royal Military Police:

 

Replace the Parachute badge with "GVIRR.jpg" (but omit the clip at the back of the badge).

Recolour the cap from maroon to red.

Save it as "rmp_cap.dds".

Create a NormalMap texture of the new cap.

Save it as "rmp_cap_ddn.bmp".

 

Intelligence Corps:

 

Replace the Parachute badge with "IntelligenceCorpsBadge.gif" (but again, omit the clip).

Recolour the cap from maroon to cypress green.

Save it as "intelligence_cap.dds".

Create a NormalMap texture of the new cap.

Save it as "intelligence_cap_ddn.bmp".

 

Will anyone be able to do this for me? XendroX hasn't been on this forum for quite some time. You will be given credit for it. Thanks!

      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?
