Top Down View TDM submod


Capela

Recommended Posts

Hi there, along time pass since my last post.

 

I Would like to ask to the TDM Team if its possible to have a submod for a Top Down View of the game without change the core engine...

 

I think the CAMERA should not be a problem..!!!

The controls to get input from a mouse i dont this should be to hard to..!!!

Making the maps and the light system could be the major problem but i dont know about the code to say more than this..

 

So in general do you think its possible do it???

 

Regards.

You can already sorta do it via cvars:

 

pm_thirdPerson enabled 3rd person camera

 

pm_thirdPersonAngle sets the view angle

 

pm_thirdPersonRange sets the camera distance

 

The main problem is player animation would need to be improved.

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

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

Like pacman in tdm-style? Yes that is possible.

For example, Take a look at D3 mod z-hunter

 

In my experience with this forum:

if you dont get any support for the project, have to do it yourself.

So Take a look at how people build that d3 mod, copy code and try to create a demo.

And this you show on this forum, to hopefully get more support. :)

It's definitely possible and even not-so-hard (relatively speaking), you could do it by script but you might want to do some core changes in the sourcecode if you want it really polished, but yes, you'd probably need to do it yourself, but I believe there's enough info already in this thead and in mods that you could get started and then ask here if you have specific questions.

What do you see when you turn out the light? I can't tell you but I know that it's mine.

      Finally got my PC back from the shop after my SSD got corrupted a week ago and damaged my motherboard. Scary stuff, but thank goodness it happened right after two months of FM development instead of wiping all my work before I could release it. New SSD, repaired Motherboard and BIOS, and we're ready to start working on my second FM with some added version control in the cloud just to be safe!

      I've updated the articles for your FMs and your author category at the wiki. Your newer nickname (DeTeEff) now comes first, and the one in parentheses is your older nickname (Fieldmedic). Just to avoid confusing people who played your FMs years ago and remember your older nickname. I've added a wiki article for your latest FM, Who Watches the Watcher?, as part of my current updating efforts. Unless I overlooked something, you have five different FMs so far.

      I've finally managed to log in to The Dark Mod Wiki. I'm back in the saddle and before the holidays start in full, I'll be adding a few new FM articles and doing other updates. Written in Stone is already done.

      You cannot receive PMs. Could you please be so kind and check your mailbox if it is full (or maybe you switched off the function)?
