So here's the starting area of my first mission. As yet unnamed, it's a short mission set in the streets of Bridgeport in which you have to escape the City by finding a way past the city wall and a bunch of irate Watch guys guarding it. I'm still finding my way around with DarkRadiant but I think I captured the feel of the grimy back alleys of the City pretty well. I dialed the ambient up high so you can see everything. In actual play I will be using a combination of a very dark ambient and the "night vision" technique shown by Sotha in his "Bakery Job" tutorial videos. I'm really slow at mapping and I fuss over everything so, with luck, I might have something beta testable by the end of the year.

Hello everyone. I will stream at 16hoo E.U time. So see you there or n'ot. https://www.twitch.tv/micropoint_

If you need help getting unstuck when you replay, ping me for hints.

@kingsalBesides finding the original files, is there anything I can do to help? I've been away from 3d art for a while; mainly just the occasional sculpting. Let me know.

In this thread, we analyzed the number of downloads of a single release of TDM a cool ten years ago! There's also the moddb download statistic: https://www.moddb.com/mods/the-dark-mod/stats The statistic is a little weird, 'though, because it shows 1.3k Downloads in total at the top, whereas our files section on moddb lists 63k Downloads. https://www.moddb.com/mods/the-dark-mod/downloads

Thanks guys, this will at least get me started. @Destined Does this rig have any animation controllers on it?

The LWO export script has now been updated to support Autosmooth settings. A new option is present in the export dialog, allowing you to choose No Smoothing, Full Smoothing (looks the same as ASE), and Use Autosmooth settings. If you choose Use Autosmooth settings, the settings of Autosmooth in Blender will be exported into the LWO file, allowing you to use both smoothing and flat shading on the same model without needing to manually split vertices.

@stgatilov I made changes to enable: - custom main title picture - custom video briefing - custom main title music (sometimes also for in-game menu displays) - loading picture I did not change lines other than for the subjects mentioned above. Jack
