Hi,

 

I'm a big fan of your work so far, but there are some Questions for which i havent found answers yet.

 

1) Is it possible to stitch missions together to create a story mode? I'm still waiting for the linux release of the editor, but in my head (having no concept of the inner workings of the editor as of yet or the underlying mod mechanics) it should be possible to create a massive map, in which each mission plays in a seperate part of this map, trigger a cutscene upon mission completion, followed by a respawn in a new area of the map, simultaneusly creating a savegame so that one does not have to start from scratch. i am of course mindful of the fact, that this could potentially create unbearably long loading times as well.

2) under which license are the dark mod, fan missions and editor content released/to be released?

3) will all fan-missions be featured in the download section of the main page?

 

thats all for now, i appreciate your answers!

The linux version of the editor is working, it is just not avaliable in packages, however if you wish to download the source and compile it yourself, you shouldnt have an issue. DarkRadiant is licensed under the GPL. Wiki on compiling DR under various flavours of linux

 

TDM itself has the following:

  • All non-software assets (models, textures, supplied maps etc) are licensed under Creative Commons Attribution-Noncommercial-Share Alike 3.0 Unported license.
  • Assets related to doom, used in missions etc are licensed under the DOOM 3 Software Development Kit Limited Use License Agreement.
  • The non-id(doom3 sdk) source for TDM itself is licensed under the ever awesome 3-clause BSD license.

 

FM's would be licensed according to the author (as map files themselves only contain references), but I'm sure if you wanted to copy some content from one to something you are working on, permission would be a very good idea - common decency.

 

And if in doubt, check the LICENSE file contained in the TDM source package.

The linux version of DR can be installed from repositories like described here:

      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?
