TDM app


freyk

Recommended Posts

For my next experiment (after creating several installation scripts, a thief 1 converter and trying to run TDM on Android),

I would like to create an Android app for TDM.

 

I was thinking about developing a Companion app, that shows the mission map, objectives, a compass, players stats, etc.

(So the player don't have to switch full screen menu's in TDM to get information and keeping the ambiance.)

 

I would like to hear your thoughts, suggestions, etc.

 

 

==

But there is one important problem:

I dont know how to communicate with TDM over a local network.

(cant spawn a server also. Or is there an other sollution)

For now, I can try to create a offline map viewer.

Tough one. We removed most of the multi-player server functions long ago.

 

You might be able to borrow some changes from Theivious:

I published a new version of my app my portfolio.

I added the map of st luccia's and changed background & labels.

 

Are there any plans for something similar for DarkRadiant (extra control space on the smartphone, like GIMP's floating controls but on a second screen)?

Not soon, because its for me my first android project and need to see how fast i grow accustomed to this.

And i dont know if darkradiant has a server or something, to talk to.

Nice work. There are some issues, such as the clock looking stretched out on my phone. I think you should use a separate image on top of the background for that.

The map view is a neat idea but I can't change the pivot point when scaling that widget.

My first Android project did not look any better, so I won't complain about that. Instead, i'll post here my apk with the source. https://www.dropbox.com/s/ysb5c2nhgz0i43w/tdmApp.zip?dl=0

I included a local network scanner to list all devices on your subnet, but then I realised that connecting to a pc might be tricky if it is on another subnet, so maybe we should use Bluetooth for pairing devices on the local network.

At this moment, i dont want to continue work on this app.

Because first I need to learn more about creating an android app.

and the main cause is that I dont to update the app in the future every time, when there is a new mission published.

 

For me, the app that i publisched on my portfolio, is just a proof of concept, a tought.

Yes I saw these hints also in my research. But what happen if the mapper adds a second playerspawn to the map?

Its a shame that you remove the multiplayer features. I would love to play a TDM co-op and see some Thievious/venture graphic-features in TDM.

(its great to see that Thief3-Garret model on a id-tech engine,..)

Maybe in the future. For those are willing to make an app, DR needs to have something to talk to. Edited by freyk

The link doesn't work for me.

 

The title of this thread somehow made me think of a augmented reality "Dark Mod Go". Could be pretty funny, even though people would probably start doing really illegal things. :P

A shame of course. Again proves that it's not that easy.

 

Even for St. Lucia as it's a pre-loaded map. Very useful would it be to have the app on Google Play considering how much it's loaded with other apps.

"I really perceive that vanity about which most men merely prate — the vanity of the human or temporal life. I live continually in a reverie of the future. I have no faith in human perfectibility. I think that human exertion will have no appreciable effect upon humanity. Man is now only more active — not more happy — nor more wise, than he was 6000 years ago. The result will never vary — and to suppose that it will, is to suppose that the foregone man has lived in vain — that the foregone time is but the rudiment of the future — that the myriads who have perished have not been upon equal footing with ourselves — nor are we with our posterity. I cannot agree to lose sight of man the individual, in man the mass."...

You can download it from my google drive.

Well, I learned by playing tdm, how to improve my house security and there are several methods to solve a problem. Edited by freyk

      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).
