Congratulations on your release! Can’t wait to dive into this one tonight

Thank you very much for this beautyful mission!

I uploaded this to the mirrors: http://www.southquarter.com/tdm/fms/hhvf.pk4 http://darkmod.taaaki.za.net/fms/hhvf.pk4 http://www.fidcal.com/darkuser/missions/hhvf.pk4 I'll ping taaaki to see if he can create the link to the in-game mission database.

Thanks, I just figured out the mistake I made. Sorry about that. It's showing in my mission list now.?

don't put the .pk4 file in the "vitalicfever" folder (delete that folder). Instead just drop the pk4 file into the "fms" folder and the Dark mod should do the rest

Looks great! Perhaps it could be useful to add a little synopsis of the plot and/or how it connects with "Initiation"?

YES! Super excited to see this out the door ! Wunderbar!

Congratulations on the release Jack. Downloading now n will go play it in a few Thanks.

Downloading this after a LONG abscense from the mod besides from some sporadic mapping...!

Here is the whole process: 1) Create a new low resolution subview with screen cropped to the size of the octohedron from step 3 2) Cull all surfaces that do not cast shadows 3) Replace the player model with an octohedron (lowest number of polys to catch light from all directions) with a two-sided material (light affects both sides) 4) Spawn a camera inside the octohedron facing up 5) Capture a screenshot to a memory buffer (PBO) 6) Scan the screenshot for the brightest pixel and write out the value 7) Rotate the camera facing down and Capture another screenshot to the PBO 8) Scan the new screenshot for the brightest pixel and compare to step 6 9) Bias the brightness value with things like crouch offset, speed, holding a weapon, etc. 10) Send the final value to the AI algorithm to tell it how bright the player is if the player is in the line of sight

Let's forget about copyright for a moment, and let's say someone made a video game that was like Ravenloft, where different places of horror from different dimensions are mishmashed into a dimension of horror. What if someone decided to artificially do that with video games? What sort of games would you like to see in it? I've had this idea for a while now, but never shared it. Imagine Raccoon City & the Arklay Mountains, moved next to Silent Hill, and past that, Mount Massive Asylum from Outlast, and a few mountains over is Castle Brennemburg frim Amnesia, then Innsmouth and Yha-Nthlei from the original Call of Cthulhu game at a seaside area. I originally got this idea combining a server in The Matrix I read about online for the matrix mmo, then combined the idea with Ravenloft. What do you guys think?
