guess you newer played nehahra it sorta delves into the lore off Q1 but with a humerous twist. originally developed by mindcrime lord havoc (or lady havoc as it turned out ) and a few others from the old quake community. theres even a live demo that plays as a video as a prelude to the game (warning it is very long). it is not 100% cannon but close enough . it can be a bit nasty to get the demo based story running on modern ports. the original nehquake.exe used a lot of hacks to allow playing demo captures as videos. the game itself does run ok with darkplaces just dont turn on realtime ligthing as it fucks up the game because of missing support files for it. Q2 lore was... well a bit out there. idtech was most famous for its engines not exactly for game lore.

It's a great game. You should catch up on that. I like the lore too. It's trash, but, so trash that it's good.

Jerkiness in game can be mitigated by smoothing up animation curves in Blender before exporting. There's one potential obstacle if we're to replace current idle animations. All idle animations, and by extension some other too, start and end with the same pose. It's especially important that feet are in the same position. There is quick 3 frame transition (interpolation), but if poses aren't matching it looks bad. The thing is, I don't like current default idle pose. It's supposed to be relaxed, with one leg back, but in my opinion it's imbalanced and unnatural. Left upper leg is twisted too much. I think it should be neutral, symmetrical and short. Then you can easily make longer animations where character shifts weight to one leg or the other, like in the video above. Symmetrical pose makes mirrored animations easier, such as turn left/right could simply be flipped. Other, bigger issue is the fact that first frame of the idle animation is used as a default pose in Dark Radiant. To me t-pose would make more sense. If mapper attached something to an NPC using bindtojoint and the animation changes, that means that such object will be misaligned now. That misalignment wouldn't be game breaking, but may look bad. A compromise would be to leave upper body as is, change only legs and hope that mappers didn't attach anything to leg joints using 'bindtojoint'. Cause as I understand this is not an issue with the Def_Attach method? https://wiki.thedarkmod.com/index.php?title=Attaching_Props_to_AI Edit: feet should be slightly rotated, this is just a quick example, not final.

damn newer played that much Q2 but the railgun was allways my favorite quake weapon. seems they tried to get the game to appeal to a bigger audience which while understandable just does not fit with it.

Can someone remind me which mission didn't start with an in-game map, but rather the player has to pick it up..? I ask because I am looking to place map inside a building, and only want to player to have the map at that point.

For the people eager to play with the latest state of development, two things are provided: regular dev builds source code SVN repository Development builds are created once per a few weeks from the current trunk. They can be obtained via tdm_installer. Just run the installer, check "Get Custom Version" on the first page, then select proper version in "dev" folder on the second page. Name of any dev version looks like devXXXXX-YYYY, where XXXXX and YYYY are SVN revision numbers from which the build was created. The topmost version in the list is usually the most recent one. Note: unless otherwise specified, savegames are incompatible between any two versions of TDM! Programmers can obtain source code from SVN repository. Trunk can be checked out from here: https://svn.thedarkmod.com/publicsvn/darkmod_src/trunk/ SVN root is: https://svn.thedarkmod.com/publicsvn/darkmod_src Build instructions are provided inside repository. Note that while you can build executable from the SVN repository, TDM installation of compatible version is required to run it. Official TDM releases are compatible with source code archives provided on the website, and also with corresponding release tags in SVN. A dev build is compatible with SVN trunk of revision YYYY, where YYYY is the second number in its version (as described above). If you only want to experiment with the latest trunk, using the latest dev build gives you the maximum chance of success. P.S. Needless to say, all of this comes with no support. Although we would be glad if you catch and report bugs before the next beta phase starts

I think they're both very good. And, I say that even though I'm not into shooters too much. But, especially Quake 2 is a fantastic game. I know that some people complained about Quake 2 remaster, for whatever reason. There are the occasional post or two on the Steam forums as well, made by single people. Everyone else seems to thoroughly enjoy the game.

You will always have all the source ports for quake and quake 2. The new campaigns are awesome, the lore was always fucking trash anyways, so complaining about it being cringeworthy.....the original lore was incredibly cringeworthy. I get you don't like the changes, fine. It's not like the old game is gone now. It's not like all the mods and source ports are gone now. They're still being worked on. Also, the new Quake 1 episodes are awesome. I really don't get the hate.

interesting search engine a bit like in the olden days. btw if you want to add it to firefox search engines you can do it with this url "https://wiby.me?q=%s" normally it is "https://wiby.me/search?q=%s" but the page does not understand this syntax.

Hello again TDM Forums. I'm close to finishing a new FM, "The Maybury Idol, Part 1: A Trip to the Museum", and I'd like to request help with beta testing. Any assistance is appreciated, thanks.

Hello and thanks for checking out this post. I'm delighted to announce that version 1.1 of my fan mission "Cole Hurst 1: Eaton" is now available to download and play. This post is spoiler free, so please don't avoid digging into the details below if you are interested. I'm just using the spoiler tags to organize this post a bit. Let me start by saying "thank you" to anyone who has either previously played - or is considering playing this mission. It really means a lot to me. I have been away for a while, but following a round of beta testing that took place some time last year, I've only just recently managed to finish this update. I'm slightly embarrassed by how long it has taken me to complete, but I wanted to make sure that the valuable feedback I received was all properly addressed. Mission description "Tonight, Eaton's wealthiest citizens will gather at Lord Mayor Zelmer's estate to celebrate the city's founding. Nobles, dignitaries, a famed musician, and even the Queen will pass through its gates. While the guests celebrate Eaton's future, Cole Hurst is looking for a way out." For those new to and/or curious about this mission: I guess I would describe it as a traditional heist-style mission - although with a couple of major plot twist along the way. It's a very large map and I think it should take most players at least a few hours to complete. Screenshots Changes in version 1.1 Countless additions and a large amount of smaller tweaks and changes have all made it into this release. I may have already forgot a few things, but here are what I consider to be the main highlights: * New secrets & optional side quests * Story tweaks and reworked readables * Subtitles * Difficulty tweaks and related changes * Stability fixes * Various cosmetic changes * Audio tweaks * TDM version 2.13 now required Contributions and acknowledgments A special thanks to all of those listed below. I'm sincerely grateful for all your contributions!

Take a look: You know what drew my attention? Around 1:10 he says something similar to "it's mission based but at the same time it's very sandbox in nature. Every mission you are given a huge map to explore and no particular path is forced". Does that ring any bells? Looks like a nice game

Unreal engine now has a tool for single-camera, markerless motion capture. Supposedly based on this tech: https://meshcapade.com/ It’s far from perfect, but definitely usable. It’s free and offline. https://dev.epicgames.com/documentation/metahuman/getting-started-with-metahuman-animator https://forums.unrealengine.com/t/epic-games-metahuman-animator-markerless-motion-capture-plugin/2729293/6 Position of hands and feet can be adjusted manually to some extend using retargeting tools.

Mandrasola is a small sized map in which aspiring thief Thomas Porter steals some herbal products from a smuggler. The mission was created by me, Sotha and I wish to thank Bikerdude, BrokenArts and Ocn for playtesting and voice acting. Thanks goes naturally to everyone contributing and making TDM possible. This mission occurs chronologically before the Knighton's Manor, making it the first mission in the Thomas Porter series. Events in chronological order are: Mandrasola, The Knighton's Manor, The Beleaguered Fence, The Glenham Tower and The Transaction. The winter came early and suddenly this year. Weeks of strong blizzards and extremely harsh cold weather hit Bridgeport hard. With the seas completely frozen, a rare occurence indeed, most of the City harbor commerce has stopped completely. Vessels are stuck in the ice and no ship can leave or enter the City, resulting in the availability imported goods declining and their prices skyrocketing. One of these imported items is Mandrasola, a rare herbal product, which is imported overseas from the far southern continents. Mandrasola has its uses in alchemical cures and poisons, but mostly this substance is used for its narcotic qualities by commoners and even the nobility. The problem with Mandrasola is that excessive use is extremely addicting and the withdrawal effects are most grievious. Many are utterly incapable of stopping using Mandrasola and are transformed into quivering human ruins if they do no get their daily dose. And now this expensive and rare substance is running out from the whole City. Me and my fence, Lark Butternose, would love to grab this monopoly to ourselves: selling the last few doses in the City would probably be worth a fortune. According to Lark's sources, there remains only one smuggling lord who still has Mandrasola in stock. The problem is that this individual maintains an exclusive clandestine operation and only supplies a few nobles. Despite our best information gathering efforts we couldn't learn who the smuggler is and where he or she operates. Luckily we have an alternate plan. While searching for Mandrasola related information, we learned that a noblewoman called Lady Ludmilla is addicted to the substance and has paid high prices for small amounts of it. We also know that she has visited frequently someone in the Tanner's Ward waterfront, and since she goes to the area personally we believe she is visiting the smuggler. The plan is simple: I must monitor Ludmilla's most likely entryway to the Waterfront and then follow her to the smugglers hideout. I'd better be very careful around Ludmilla. She must not realise I'm following her or she probably won't lead me to her dealer. Hurting her is also out of the question. After she leads me to the smuggler's hideout, I can take my time to break in carefully and steal all the Mandrasola I can find. While I'm there it wouldn't be a bad idea to grab some loose valuables as well. I've now waited in the blistering cold for a few hours already. Looks like there are a few city watch patrols in the area to complicate matters... I think I heard a womans voice beyond the north gate. That must be lady Ludmilla, I haven't seen many ladies in these parts. I'd better get ready.. Links: Use the ingame downloader to get it. WARNING! Someone always fails to use spoiler tags. I do not recommend reading any further until you've played the mission.

https://store.epicgames.com/p/i-have-no-mouth-and-i-must-scream-95c5c2 Great game. Just found out the devs updated it on Steam and Epic platforms and added neat things like controller support and achievements. The GOG version still seems older for some reason.

http://k.min.us/jCfGA.jpg "At night, they say, the Builders' hand comes loose from his mighty hammer and creatures wander out from their hiding places while he slumbers. But tis this night, above all others that unholy vapours cloak the land with gloomy curtains and night creatures dance and sing in the twilight. I can't say I'm looking forward to my endeavors this night.... I've been given a job by a Priest to retrieve two holy artifacts from an abandoned cloister in Eldin woods north of the city, simple job I thought, but the priest failed to mention the placed was haunted." Build Time: - version 1.0 was about 5 weeks, but we are now upto version 3.11. Thanks: Respect to the Dark Mod team for putting up with all my questions and knocking up the various updates in short order!. Special thanks to Flanders and Springheel for their models and my testers for helping me squash all the bugs etc. Testers: Flanders, Jaxa, nbohr1more, Aluminumhaste, Baal,l Oldjim, Cookie, Obsttorte, lux, Mat99, AluminumHaste, thebigh Readables: Darkangel/Flanders/b1k3rdude with special thanks to Flanders for his original story.. Resource: Flanders/Springheel - art direction and models. Misc: This is a homage to the original Thief2 mission from 2001 (The Cathedral of the Damned) Download: - The latest version is now available via the in-game downloader. Info: This version has been heavily updated from the original, this came about as a result of need to be compatible with TDM 2.10+ Repeat after me, "Read and explore, Read and explore" The mission is fully l10n ready. (thanks Tels) The mission now has EFX Reverb The mission now has Volumetric Light effects The mission now uses LOD settings for different detail levels There is now a script event related to the "Curse" A few new surprises... Known issues: This mission will have less than optimal fps at a few points on the map, but most of my testers with lowish end rigs (P4/HD4650) are getting 30fps+ at the worst spots) For very low end PCs I recommend the following settings: V-sync is off, AA is off, Aniso is 4x or lower, advanced settings are simple/default & Post processing of disabled and as a last resort the command line arg ' r_skipFogLights 1 ' (turns off the fog)

I bought this at the end of last year; and even though it's early access, and will take a while to be completed, I did not regret it. It's a fantastic game. The visual style fits the dark and dirty setting perfectly. Everything else is very well done. The map-, creature-, and especially audio design is very creative. The next big area will be released in a couple of month (based on the last few updates); I'm looking forward to that. If you can live with a "Wait for the next update" screen in the middle of a game, I recommend this 100 percent.

The TDM Unofficial Patch is a personal project of mine to modify some small details that annoyed me in the core game. It wouldn't be possible without many others, so thanks to the whole TDM community for discussions and help, but especially to friendly modders who directly contributed code for it, like Obsttorte, Dragofer, Kingsal, Goldwell, Destined, and snatcher! You can find it under the link below and while over the years there was little progress, in recent times many things have been improved that I never even thought of when I started and some might be worth to be included in the core game. https://www.moddb.com/mods/the-dark-mod/addons/the-dark-mod-unofficial-patch Version Changelog: ------------------ v2.4 16.06.2026 ---- Updated to 2.14 and packed mission changes into dedicated pk4 files.

Baal mentioned this command also, I have never really used it in all these years, till now. So checking the menu its the M key. But for me it isn't working as intended. When I hit the M key it brings up the first map, then when I hit the key a second time it brings up the in-game cursor but not the second map.

This strikes me as not the best idea maybe. You should consider treating each "page" of your in game maps as a different item. Then you avoid the issue of have to design your gui to have page “turn” indicators and you avoid the annoyance for players of have to "flip" to the map they actually want whenever they open it. Plus when you have multiple maps in inventory and you have one open, the page turn command already works to cycle through available player maps.

vampyr without "E" Excellent game. Superb OST. One of the finest "industrial London" ever seen.
