For all who can't get enough

[New Horizon]

No opinions?

 

It's sunday. A lot of people are spending time with their families. I was an hour away visiting my inlaws and my Mom since 8am this morning. I'll get to check it out tomorrow.

[Komag]

will try soon, thank you for updating

• When I nabbed the scepter from the cellar, it never checked the objective as complete.
  
• I didn't find the golden plate until I opened the map in the editor.
  
• The architecture is good, the map flow is good, but a bit linear.
  
• You have a good idea started... run with it!

Maybe you should post it on TTLG as well.

I tried running the map but D3 crashed while loading. You don't have any AI using custom heads by chance, do you?

I don't think so. Did you see any errors while dmap was running?

 

 

* Fixed some things

* Should be easier to find the plate now

* Note for second objective: Gas arrows don't kill opponents

 

 

I'll upload the final version later this day or tomorrow.

So would this be version 1.0?

[LordSavage]

Yes, for now. I've not much time this weeks. It's just a mini mission for those who can't get enough. And for me to learn a few things about darkradiand. I'll add more later or start a new map.

[LordSavage]

It's finished!

Some impressions:

[SneaksieDave]

Will try it shortly. From the pics alone, it looks much improved!

[Komag]

Ha, I just played this and it was fun! Extremely short, and mostly "samey" design, but fun and cool nonetheless. Good work

[AstralninjA]

Which Thief's Den folder do you install it in? Is it:

 

a.  C:\Program Files\Doom 3\thiefs_den

 

b. C:\Program Files\Doom 3\darkmod\fms\thiefs_den

 

or

 

c. C:\Program Files\Doom 3\darkmod\maps

 

because when I tried option A it gave an error saying that it couldn't find it.

 

I'll try again.

[AstralninjA]

Ok, got it working

 

Crap, nevermind. Doom 3 crashed.

It wouldn't find it in C:\Program Files\Doom 3\thiefs_den and gave an error saying that it couldn't load the map file.

So I thought, "hmmm, it looks like it's trying to find it in the maps folder" so I installed it there and was able to dmap...

 

...but...

 

for some reason it caused D3 to crash.

The Thief's Den stuff is very limited . I think I have some good ideas for (longer and not "samey designed" ) missions but I don't have the content (Textures, Models) to realize it. Is there any way to get these without being a Beta Mapper?

Could you read any error messages before it crashed? Did you follow the readme and copied the xdata?

 

Edit: Try this please:

Rename closemouthed_shadows.zip to closemouthed_shadows.pk4 and copy that to your Thief's Den folder. Should be C:\Program Files\Doom 3\thiefs_den on your computer.

No, but given your previous work, I think you would get betamapper status if you apply

[LordSavage]

That would be nice but a beta mapper has some obligations, hasn't he? I don't know how much time I have this month and at the beginning of the next.

[Baddcog]

Well, a Beta Mapper is basically what you are doing.

 

Using the editor, and trying to make a playable map. Probably the largest responsibilty would be to report bugs you find while editting. If something doesn't work right or if you have suggestions.

[New Horizon]

Yes, as baddcog says, we ask our beta mappers to try their best to remain active...but more importantly, remain vocal! When we give out our 4+ years of work, we do expect a little something in return.

[LordSavage]

Sounds fair .

[New Horizon]

Sounds fair .

 

Interested in applying?

[LordSavage]

Ok, but don't expect anything too soon .

[avengingwatcher]

great map, ran with decent fps. I had a couple of errors though. I tried shooting a broadhead at the second guard and all my arrows went right through him, thought maybe it was my crappy aim but it did it the second run though as well. The gas arrow worked well though. The second guard also had a sound glitch when he was alerted to the arrows.

LordSavage,

 

any plans to convert this pretty pearl to TDM ?

Would be a shame to see it disappearing into oblivion.

[Serpentine]

Strangely enough;

 

This mission came up in an internal discussion yesterday, and I've since left LordSavage a PM/mail, hopefully he notices

 

That said, I went ahead and converted everything in-case he's too busy etc and cant do it himself, but I'll wait on a reply!

[nbohr1more]

Very cool! I had to noclip through the doors in the first hallway so maybe this time I will get to play the mission properly!
