  1. Past hour
  2. I can't figure out how to get in the house. The door can be lockpicked, but only opens halfway and I can't get through the gap. I tried running, jumping, leaning, crouching, mantling and bashing it with my sword, to no effect. I can't find any other entrances, and I don't start with any rope arrows or tools which would suggest another way in. I assume I must be missing something?
  3. Bikerdude has been coaxed ( nagged? ) into joining the contest. He'll be using an abandoned old version of The Elixir that doesn't resemble the current mission at all as a base for his entry.
  4. Today
  5. If you ever need help with mapping, you can try these tutorials.

    Free games

    Epic doesn't quit trying to get some market share. I wonder what happens with all my (free) games when Epic decide to call it a day.
  7. 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 think sometimes that upgrading my system might get me more into mapping, because of better DR performance.

    Free games

    Thi4f will be free on Epic Games Store from April 4 to April 11, along with The Outer Worlds. So it's your chance to see what all the fuss is about for $0 and test one of the few AMD TrueAudio games in existence. Although from what I heard watching one of the autopsy videos, the implementation is wasted. https://store.epicgames.com/en-US/free-games
  9. Yesterday
  10. Is it possible for the mapper to choose which comes first?
  11. Excellent! Happy mapping and I look forward to playing it
  12. 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. :)

  13. https://bugs.thedarkmod.com/view.php?id=6509 Which stages of debriefing (GUI and video) should happen first?
  14. Good motivation for me to finally try to make a mission.
  15. 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.

      Now I know that, but only because I noticed a very small note in the main released missions overview. I'm going to fix that soon, don't worry. Once I'll be updating the latest FMs that form a series.

      Also, you can tell me these things more politely. I like updating everything, but sometimes not all of the information is included clearly and properly.

      Sorry about that. You are right, I spotted it myself to be slightly harsh, but didn't change it.. Thanks for the feedback on that and for your help on the wiki.

      Righto. :) I need to update a fair few things regarding the FM articles (including some of the older links) so I'll have plenty of work with this in the weeks ahead.

  16. The standard info above the inventory grid is ALL, but it's with black letters, so hard to see on a dark background (and usually in TDM it's Dark). If you click on it and cycle through it becomes white: Maybe just make it White by default?
  17. Last week
  18. On an offtopic note: I always liked those, also in non-contest missions. Wished every FM author would add them to their mission release threads.
  19. Brilliant, OrbWeaver - that seems to have done the trick! I disabled the mouse wheel for weapon select and the issue appears to have stopped. Thanks for the tip!
  20. What kind of mouse do you have? Is it an MMO mouse with numbered buttons on the sides? Is it possible your mouse is occasionally generating either a number key or scroll-wheel event which the game interprets as a weapon selection command?
  21. First-time poster, so apologies if this question has already been asked and answered. Since installing last month, I've noticed a bug both in the trainer and in my first FM, The Painter's Wife. At random intervals every few minutes, the character will draw a random weapon or will swap weapons if already armed. Pretty minor as far as bugs go, but I'm waiting for the moment when drawing a weapon will make me just visible enough at an inconvenient time. Not sure of my install ver., but I downloaded in Feb. of 2024. Any ideas? Thanks!
  22. Aberconwy House, one of the best-preserved medieval houses in Wales, originating in the 14th century. Includes a house museum. If you happen to visit Wales, you can find it on 2 Castle Street in the town of Conwy. National Trust website for Aberconwy House Visit Wales website for Aberconwy House Geograph.co.uk entries for Aberconwy House Wikimedia Commons entries for Aberconwy House Conwy has several other preserved historical houses and buildings from earlier centuries. These include the later Tudor era Plas Mawr, which also has a house museum (and which I've already featured in this thread years earlier), and there's also the famous 'Smallest House in Great Britain' and plenty of preserved fortification monuments. Speaking of... The 'Smallest House in Great Britain', in Conwy, a tourist attraction that's more on the cheesy side due to its notoriety/record, but is still a nice example of a period house centuries old, that was built in the spirit of "How can our ingenuity provide us with a small house and lodgings even in a narrow, cramped part of the street ?" vernacular ingenuity. Official website for the Smallest House Visit Conwy website for the Smallest House Geograph.co.uk entries for the Smallest House Wikimedia Commons entries for the Smallest House Various narrow houses from around the world English Heritage website for the Medieval Merchant's House in Southampton Geograph.co.uk entries for the Medieval Merchant's House in Southampton Wikimedia Commons entries for the Medieval Merchant's House in Southampton Combine these photos with the medieval early modern housing and market hall photos from my previous post, and you'll have plenty of inspiration on how to furnish rural houses and townhouses in TDM's setting.
  23. And my own from signature I'm sad that I can't get back to creativity And finally sit down and post everything I’ve done in the past to the end, there are several more interesting albums there
  24. Thanks funny to find this pages (i´ll gona put them to my Fav´s) but before i add some off my stuff i´ll need to listen to what you´ve posted ! P.s.: can you give me the titel/link to : @STiFU's progessive music thread.
  25. I've decided to make a list of my posts in this thread thus far. Only the posts where I shared images of real world locations for inspiration (mostly reference images of various historical architecture). 19th century octagon houses as inspiration for more fancy houses of industralists (12 May 2015) Old electric powerplant building in Poprad, Slovakia - red brick Gothic Revival stylistics (17 July 2015) - needs image fixin' Plas Mawr in Conwy, Wales - well-preserved medieval and early modern Welsh townhouse, with interior museum (29 July 2015) Castell Coch in Wales - reconstructed medieval castle, with minor 19th century industrial details (13 August 2015) + addendum Illustrations and concept art for Bree from various game projects (3 September 2015) Run-down Neo-classical manor house in a rural area (15 December 2015) - dated image links, I need to fix 'em Smaller but interesting manor houses and fortified manor houses in Slovakia (30 August 2016) Manor houses and fortified manor houses in Slovakia (13 March 2017) Stokesay Castle rural fortified manor house, one of the few of its kind in England (26 March 2024) Houses, inns and market halls of medieval and early modern England (26 March 2024) Aberconwy House in Conwy, Wales - well-preserved 14th century Welsh medieval merchant townhouse (27 March 2024)

      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)?
