Great, things went smoother than I thought it would and I've now enabled the new/updated skin.

 

Thanx! :)

Cool!

 

The only tiny little request I have is to reduce the horizontal padding on the grey box that surrounds all the content (#ipbwrapper). I'm sure the content used to be wider, and the change is bugging me slightly. I want all the horizontal space I can get, darnit! ;)

 

Then again, I could be imagining things.

My games | Public Service Announcement: TDM is not set in the Thief universe. The city in which it takes place is not the City from Thief. The player character is not called Garrett. Any person who contradicts these facts will be subjected to disapproving stares.

Actually, that was never touched. But instead of setting the forum widt to 98% in the Liquid-style, I had to set it to 90% because the rte-box was going outside of the main wrapper.

 

Uhm, I guess you're using the liquid style and not the (default) fixed one? Choose your preference at the bottom. ;)

Has the max attachment size been reduced? I used to be able to save two or three screenies, convert to jpgs, maybe crop a little, and attach to one posting. Now I'm struggling to attach one screenie.

 

On the "Max. single upload size" it says 50K. I think it used to be 2MB

I would think 500K is reasonable at least. If we post screenshots we want to post high res and one jpg migh be 100K to 200K. I've just posted in one of the private forums 4 modest jpgs to help clarify a prefab and had to post each one on a separate post.

While we are talking attachments, I think sometimes there is waste because if you upload the wrong image or change it later you cannot delete the old one - nor can you link to it from another post as far as I can tell so have to upload it again.

Also, attachements with editor shots or screenshots should be PNG to presever the fine details (thin lines!) that get easily lost with JPEGs. I agree that 2Mbyte is a bit too big, but 50K is way to little. 500K seems a reasonable size (my screenshots are between 100 and 300Kbyte usually)

That must be it.

Yes, I changed back to liquid immediately. Can't stand the fixed style. :)

Can the upload limit please be raised to the old limit? The 100K is too little for screenshots, and I dislike to post screenshots to third party sites (where they might disappear any time, not to mention leaks by posting internal stuff to some unrelated other page).

Yes, 100k is definitely too small. I tried to upload a ~ 400x300 PNG screenshot section and it wouldn't allow me. Had to convert it to JPG and cut it down considerably.

 

I also noticed that the TDM logo on the DarkWiki is missing, was it hosted on the forums?

      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?

      Hope everyone has the blessing of undying motivation for "The Dark Mod 15th Anniversary Contest". Can't wait to see the many magnificent missions you all may have planned. Good luck, with an Ace!
