I want to help make a new thievery with darkmod

just thought of another problem besides the two player start points , it's the map changing. with the way the current dark mod is the host is going to have to shutdown the server and then open it again. so it might get a little awkward. I don't know if it's possible to change the system they have for loading maps.

You can let all the players use the same starting point I think, e.g., just have the code spawn players either beside each other if there's room or, probably more fail-safe, clipping on top of each other temporarily non-physical, then make them rigid again when they move and aren't clipping anymore. Something like that.

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

another update on this, all the original id network stuff works really well with mods the real big problem now for me is just learning how to use what's there and sculpt it for our data like light gem states, loot, and objectives.

 

sidenote: if I get stuck or fed up I'm going to start making a map on the side, specialized for coop in that you can choose to split up and carry out different objectives. It will be kind of like that thief 2 hotel fm that was totally bad ass only not in a hotel.

There are some very advanced oop concepts that I'm going to have to get more familiar with. I started with more procedural type programming and it is kind of halting me here a little. I remember coding a plugin for an audio daw called cubase and it was a simple plugin but it was challenging for me, made a lot worse by poor documentation and not saying what functions(that I didn't have access to the definitions) actually did. So give me some time I'm no carmack. Gabe Newell says talent is just how productive you can make yourself so I'm going with that philosophy cause I don't have that much of the other definition of talent.

 

Ps: once I finally sat down and focused, this http://www.iddevnet.com/doom3/code.php helped give me an overview of how their systems work and I recommend reading it to anyone else like me who is new to this , even though the darkmod is a lot different it's still using a lot of the id objects and data structures. also, can anyone tell me where the code is for the main game loop? I thought it would be in you know the game folder but no.

checked out the archive for doom3world.org http://web.archive.o...wforum.php?f=56

it doesn't have the one thread that might really speed this up , the open coop source thread. this is the only archive site I know of.

 

It looks like the website will come back sometime soon

hopefully it will be back soon. For now I'm going to keep studying and analysing almost every aspect of the source to figure out how coop will work.

      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)?
