I fiddled with the formatting options there but could only get the text in two sizes. I was thinking of fiddling with HTML sizing tags but site seems to chronically reject standard HTML or CSS code (even though there is a "Code" tool). I can't claim to be an expert in HTML so I won't knock things too badly.

 

HappyCheeze (probably wisely...) didn't grant me the ability to edit other members' "edit permissions" so if yours are missing you will likely need to ping him. :)

I know you can vote again and again, but really how many times? I've been registered since 2006, had to log in, reset my password. I voted a few times.

 

And they probably remove double votes anyway, plus, they might even punish us for double voting. So don't do that.

They mention this on their website, they watch voting very closely so no funny business guys or we get disqualified and I doubt we would even be told.

I always assumed I'd taste like boot leather.

I edited the front page, can a Mod change the title to: "The Dark Mod has made it into the Top 100"

 

Intrestingly enough, that again changed our release date to "2009-10-16", not 17th. *sigh*

Something is broken on moddb.

Methinks AH wanted to change this thread rather thank the Moddb site.

 

I was thinking of a gratuitous Top 100 "news" article but I need some screens to go with it mang...

 

AH, can you upload some screens to your Moddb profile (can't touch webmail when @work)...

NP, any particular map or any will do?

What I really want to know is how this description ended up under TDM in the Top 100 page:

In The Dark Mod, you play a master thief living in a dark, sprawling city. As a master of the shadows, you move through the city streets unseen, avoiding the eyes (and blades) of the city's thieves' guild, while doing jobs for the political factions.

Yeah, we probably should have gone with:

 

The Dead Mod: Source (code). This mod has you battling zombies for survival, with hot weapons (firearrow), mines and explosives in exciting MP (can be played multiple times) battles. The enemy (city watch and builders) is already up in arms. The fate of Eyours lies dangerously unknown.

 

:D

 

(It is actually a bit sad seeing the other mods (about 99% fighting, war, strategy (fighting) and so on) and their descriptions (ours is quite good compared to the mess some left there :)

Yes. Unless you have a nifty plus symbol on the Images section for The Dark Mod profile, I can just modify (or worse case) download and re-upload from your profile. :)

well according to the scoreboard, they've had over 3 million unique visitors to the site, of which 83,000+ voted in phase one, and currently 17,000+ have voted on the top 100.

double voting doesn't work as the system only counts unique votes.

it records your username and ip address, so if they get loads of votes from loads of usernames with the same ip address then, phut.

Well it's nice to see we've made the top 100, and are alone as the top Doom 3 mod. That's saying a lot right there. It's not like we're in total obscurity. We're just not catering to the kind of mod you want to have when you want to win contests like this. But we're winning the greater contest of actually being quality & fun to play IMO. B)

 

Of course I voted again with a vengeance.

What do you see when you turn out the light? I can't tell you but I know that it's mine.

Where did you get the numbers from? Also, is it possible to know how many people voted for TDM or which spot we actually got in the top 100? (On second thought, maybe I don't want to know :)

      Finally got my PC back from the shop after my SSD got corrupted a week ago and damaged my motherboard. Scary stuff, but thank goodness it happened right after two months of FM development instead of wiping all my work before I could release it. New SSD, repaired Motherboard and BIOS, and we're ready to start working on my second FM with some added version control in the cloud just to be safe!

      I've updated the articles for your FMs and your author category at the wiki. Your newer nickname (DeTeEff) now comes first, and the one in parentheses is your older nickname (Fieldmedic). Just to avoid confusing people who played your FMs years ago and remember your older nickname. I've added a wiki article for your latest FM, Who Watches the Watcher?, as part of my current updating efforts. Unless I overlooked something, you have five different FMs so far.

      I've finally managed to log in to The Dark Mod Wiki. I'm back in the saddle and before the holidays start in full, I'll be adding a few new FM articles and doing other updates. Written in Stone is already done.

      You cannot receive PMs. Could you please be so kind and check your mailbox if it is full (or maybe you switched off the function)?
