It would be good to have skins for those modules wit windows that uses colorme versions of the glass textures. This way mappers could color the windows using the "_color" spawnarg.

To use a well known phrase all the kids use these days, 'man thats sic'. I think Ive said it before in this thread, but these assets are extremly impressive and better than some of the ones in T4.

 

One observation is the distance from the floor of the ground floor window in relation to the front door, the floor inside would be level with the bottom of the windows.

I've included a few of my favourite windows as skins, but mappers will be able to add whatever skins they like. There's a great deal of flexibility in that regard.

I see what you're saying. I have seen plenty of buildings with raised doors and low windows, though, so perhaps there are stairs going down on the other side of the door or something.

For the textures:

 

I would say new folder for the leaves/grass based ones -

 

- textures/darkmod/decals/nature , eg tdm_leaves_edge_01, etc.

 

And then use the exiting path for dirt for the dirt//leaves/grass based ones -

 

- textures/darkmod/decals/dirt , eg tdm_dirt-leaves_edge_01, etc.

 

For the models:

 

- models/darkmod/nature/dirt

 

Why make models, would it not be easier just to make decal textures..? that way mappers can just use patches etc.

They're able to include more details, like decal edges that blend into the ground, shadows under bushes, etc, that cannot be done with single textures and would take mappers a lot of time to set up if they were doing them manually.

I've been making some dirt/junk models for the edges of walls and buildings. They're not as flexible as patches (you can't change the size), but they're able to include more details, like decal edges that blend into the ground, shadows under bushes, etc, that would take mappers a lot of time to set up.

 

My question is, where would mappers look for models like this? Would you want them all in the same place, or the leaf versions in a different place than the dirt ones? A few potential candidates:

 

models/darkmod/misc?

 

models/darkmod/junk?

 

models/darkmod/nature/dirt?

 

Or a new folder?

 

I plunked models/darkmod/junk/dirt_edge01_weed.lwo down on my grass and there are a few things missing.

Coming later?

I must have forgotten to upload a texture somewhere. I'll look into it.

 

For the record, I decided to put them in the darkmod/junk, since that's where mappers will likely be looking when they want debris to scatter on the ground--whether it's piles of dirt, leaves or garbage is secondary.

Very-very impressive!

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

Coming along nicely! I'm wondering, in total how many new lwo files are encompassing the new pack (all unique variants included)?

 

Also I noticed you mirrored the statue. Good call, as it looks much better with symmetrical details flanking the doorway.

There are 47 model files in the church set. There are about 5 skins for each one, so some decent flexibility.

That's looking incredibly Springheel!

 

Looking forward to seeing these released as I can use a few of those in my Northdale campaign :)

      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)?

      I like the new frob highlight but it would nice if it was less "flickery" while moving over objects (especially barred metal doors).

      Well then, it's been about a week since I released my first FM and I must say that I was very pleasantly surprised by its reception. I had expected half as much interest in my short little FM as I received and even less when it came to positive feedback, but I am glad that the aspects of my mission that I put the most heart into were often the most appreciated. It was also delightful to read plenty of honest criticism and helpful feedback, as I've already been given plenty of useful pointers on improving my brushwork, level design, and gameplay difficulty.
      I've gotten back into the groove of chipping away at my reading and game list, as well as the endless FM catalogue here, but I may very well try my hand at the 15th anniversary contest should it materialize. That is assuming my eyes are ready for a few more months of Dark Radiant's bright interface while burning the midnight oil, of course!
