Hi,

 

I was looking for wallpapers and found this one. Execpt for the palm trees, the design would fit well to the thief universe, I.E. for an outdoor remake of the catacombs. I'm not in the beta team or have no skill using dromed, but I just wanted to share the idea. :blush:

It reminds me of Prince of Persia more, with all the palm trees, but still, that would be some great architecture for a TDM map! It makes me wish I could map... -_-

 

 

I mapped a tiny bit before jumping onto modeling, its challenging but really not that agonizing once you get going. Sure as fuck easier than modeling. <_<

Make a whole map and then say that. ;)

 

(Edit: to clarify, that's not me calling you out - I've only made "whole maps" myself a few times in more than a decade of mapping - most of the time I lose interest or just make little areas that don't become a full mission. As the map gets larger, and larger, it becomes this horrible, unstable bitch-beast, taunting you, daring you to add even one more brush, pushing the limits before it becomes corrupted... but I digress.)

Hmm I haven't had much corruption yet in my current map... I don't think...

I haven't BSPed it in ages. It's pretty screwed in places when I load it into D3ed (patches move 90° for no reason), but that's probably because it's mostly done in DR.

 

Even a small manor house though takes AGES. Been mapping this morning, it's just depressing realising how much work there is.

 

You do the brush layout, then you have to set up all the lighting, all the models, all the doors. Then you put in the loot and AI.

 

So it's not massively hard. It's just time consuming, and you have to really think and get inspiration to keep going, which can be frustrating when you haven't got that many resources like in TDM at the moment.

 

Then you playtest and it's bugged :P. Hopefully not.

 

I'd say DR is a lot more stable than D3ed.

      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.

      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 ?
