Books...

What about books? Will we be able to have diffrent art for every page? Not just only one like in Dromed. This will give the possibility of making books with sketches, drawings, hand-written notes, etc... A big advantage compared to Dromed, I think...

As book .gui master I will answer this. Doom 3 uses the .gui interface which has a very wide range of abilities. As of now, books ingame will be pure .gui code, unlike the PDA which has the .pda template setups. This will require you to understand some of the most basic .gui principles, however the code has comments to help talk you through editing it so it should not be a problem.

What this means is that although creation of books won't be as user friendly as that of PDAs or books in dromed, you will be able to place anything that you want into it. You simply have to add in a extra picture slot or place in your own extra textboxes extra(quite simple to do as DOOM3 comes with a .gui editor that makes it very simple). There will be no limit to the number of pages/drawings/or even font(if as an FM you want to implement your own fonts) that you can put into a book. Theoretically speaking you could create entire books that could be read, or blueprint, or note with sketches.

      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)?

      I like the new frob highlight but it would nice if it was less "flickery" while moving over objects (especially barred metal doors).
