The Dark Mod team is very happy to announce that we will be releasing a Pre-Beta Demo relatively soon. Members of the team have been quietly working on preparing a Pre-Beta Demo mission for public consumption for some time now.

 

The release date will be Friday, January 18th. Please keep in mind that this date could change if we do not deem the release 'stable'.

 

Several months ago, TTLG's Fidcal began working on a small mission, called The Thief's Den. We found that it was playable as a real mission. We were so pleased with his work, that we asked him to begin readying it as a playable pre-beta demo. We thought we might release it for Christmas, but as things usually go...this wasn't really attainable...as we wanted to release the best demo we possibly could.

 

Details:

 

You will need doom 3 installed to play the demo.

The demo includes all the files needed to run this TDM map on your doom 3 installation. This means that the download will be a bit hefty, around 200megs...but that's actually kind of small for a demo these days. :)

It is PRE-BETA, so please don't expect a fully polished game. There is still much to be finished, so enjoy it for what it is.

 

For anyone who cries out....FILE SIZE UNACCEPTABLE!!!! Future Fan Missions will be much smaller when the mod is released, since players will already have the full mod resources installed on their systems.

 

That's all for now.

 

We will update this thread when the Demo is ready for download, or if there are any delays.

 

Oh! Don't forget to REGISTER and VOTE for Dark Mod at the Mod DB website!!!

I was just browsing moddb, I think it would be good for a small update to The Dark Mod there :) Maybe just a mention of the recent Dark Mod homepage updates or something.

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      I wanna play Doom 3, but fhDoom has much better features than dhewm3, yet fhDoom is old, outdated and probably not supported.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