TDM origins?

And I think TyroT made that video, didn't he? Or played a big role in its creation? Like he maybe did the clock and the music, and edited the vid, etc. Unless I'm confusing this one with another early trailer that he played a decent role in creating.

i thought another reason was that doom 3 world is dark, and didn't need shadows to be programed in like other engines do because a lot of them start light, and you have to add entities for lights and entities where shadows would go.

 

That's what I meant by it having a unified light system. All lights work the same way and automatically create dynamic shadows (although hard, but I think we had an idea soft shadows would come eventually, and eventually it did), which is kind of cool for us, the way lighting design is actually part of our gameplay design. I mean, back in 2004 though it was probably more like, "well it's a really dark game. We have a really dark game. Do the math, lol."

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

The music is by TyroT, not sure about the rest.

      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      I wanna play Doom 3, but fhDoom has much better features than dhewm3, yet fhDoom is old, outdated and probably not supported.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?
