Well, aside from the fact that it's a bit early to start worrying about these things in a lot of detail, we have some ideas of how it might work.

 

For instance, I expect that people who have contributed hosting ftp space to this project already would be willing to host missions, and I believe that people like KOMAG or Epithumia (who host www.keepofmetalandgold.com and www.thiefmissions.com respectively) would be willing to also host Dark Mod missions.

 

And who knows, when it's released and missions are finally made, I might be in a position to set up server, or someone else in the team could.

 

There is also a possibly of using bittorrent, as the files could potentially be large, especially for the mod itself and all it's associated content.

 

When the mod is finished, I expect that some of us will set up a CD (or DVD) mailing service, and that it might be featured on magazine coverdisks, as well as being hosted at places such as fileplanet, fileshack, etc. as our teaser video was and is.

Bittorrent is great for Dial-Uppers. As much as I'd like to see the Tele-modem go the way of the dodo, it's still (unfortunately) widely used. Bittorrent takes care of that nasty habit of Dial-Up ISP and Telephony Modems in general cutting a large download short, and corrupting the goods.

 

I'm not saying that other avenues shouldn't be tread, but I just LOVE Bittorrent. With an already robust Thief community, sharing FM's and the Toolset would be a Euphoric Cyber-Orgy....

 

Sounds like a music group...

      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      I wanna play Doom 3, but fhDoom has much better features than dhewm3, yet fhDoom is old, outdated and probably not supported.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!
