  1. Well.. when you really just need a fullscreen appearance you can zoom in. ^^ Otherwise it needs a change in HTML.
  2. @Chelsun: Have you made sure, you created the following folder in your pk4 archive? xdata\briefing.xd xdata\readables.xd etc. The readables/briefings in these xd files must contain something like this for your lang file: yourReadable { "page1_left_body" : "#str_20027" } Your map file also has to show up the following reference at the readable entity: // entity 236 { "classname" "atdm:readable_immobile_scroll01" "xdata_contents" "yourReadable" }
  3. I tried the same now and it didn't work for me with dds as well. But it works with a TGA file. You don't have to change anything else.
  4. I think it doesn't matter which fileformat you upload. YouTube darkens everything because it makes the file smaller at recoding. So their bandwith usage is much smaller.
  5. I've got two questions about the DarkRadiant editor: 1: Is there a way to show every texture, that is available, when I press t? (Like in the GTK and QEradiant) Instead of selecting them at first in the media brwoser and apply them to a brush. 2: Can I set up a custom Build menu, so I don't have to use the D3 console for compiling? Or is there a button I just missed? (If not: Maybe this is an idea for the wishlist?)
  6. Danke dir für die Antwort. Hm, meinste nicht, das ist dann nicht Fisch und nicht Fleisch, wenn du sowohl Werker, als auch Erbauer verwendest? Es ist dann vielleicht nicht sofort klar, dass die zusammengehören. "the builders who worship the Master Builder" würde ich mit Adjektiven übersetzen: "Die Erbauer, die den großen Erbauer verehren." alternativ: "Die Erbauer, die den allmächtigen Erbauer verehren." Naja, Zwiespalt. Auch Thief 2 verwendet stehts "der große Erbauer" oder "der allmächtige Erbauer", wenn ich mich recht entsinne. Wahrscheinlich kann man über das Thema noch lange, vortrefflich streiten. Ich nehms jetzt einfach mal so hin, denke aber, dass auch die Umfrage eher Richtung Erbauer geht udn man sich bei Master Builder vielleicht eher was ausdenken sollte, anstatt gleich die ganze Gilde umzutaufen.
  7. Which dds mode did you use? (Also generate MIPS.) Try to put in a white alpha channel for testing. I heard this could be a bug, when it's missing.
  8. Jetzt muss ich dieses Thema doch nochmal aus der Mottenkiste holen, da ich gerade darüber gestolpert bin. Das Wiki macht die Vorgabe, dass "The Builders" mit "Die Werker" zu übersetzen ist: http://wiki.thedarkm...lator%27s_Guide Die Abstimmung hier zeigt aber ein so völlig anderes Bild und deswegen wollt ich nochmal nachfragen. Bleibt es bei Werker? (Auch ich bin der Meinung, dass das Wort Meisterwerker nur schwer erkennen lässt, dass es sich um den Master Builder handelt.) *Fass auf mach*
  9. Ok. Do you would mind if I try to find some german voice actors? There are websites out there where you can introduce your project to a whole voice actors community and try to find someone. Hoertalk.de is a good example. But before all of this could happen all lines must be written down. So why not using the translated lines/strings as subtitles, when the particular soundfile is played? Are there any interests in this? (For sure it needs a switch in the options menu.) It was handled like this in the german Thief 3 version. Here is an example:
  10. Btw.: Are there any plans of translating the vocals of conversations (builders, etc.) into other languages?
  11. I really liked the big use of cavern models and lightning by mushrooms and crystals. It really seemed organic at many places. I also liked your small ideas like the .
  12. I recently walked through this map. I also really liked the outer terrain very much like pusianka already said it. What I missed was a map, because on of the stairways looked really similair on all levels. Beside that, the lightning in the hallway in the upper levels near to Otto's room is cool. I think this map can also be improved by different backgroundmusic. I get bored by the same title on and on after some minutes.
  13. Well, shopemployees have got the same qualification like the call center agents. They might have told you to go to a shop to avoid the situation. I'm sure the shopemployees will call the tech support in front of you. ;-) However, good luck. Btw.: You've got a pm. Just mentioning it, because I haven't received an answer yet.

    DLC

    I think that DLC politics is bullshit, when content is ripped off the product before the release, to sell it later (like in DiRT3) or it hinders modding. So in my opinion good DLC politics have been made in the following products: Portal 2 (free DLC + new map editor!) The Witcher 2 (free DLC) Bad politics have been made in: DiRT 3 (I can't finish the game without buying them. §/*%[$!) Overlord 2 (DLC only available for consoles.) Need for Speed series (certain cars only in the "limited edition" - this wasn't limited, NFS:The Run LE is stilles selled, after 1 year.) Assassin's Creed 3 (limited editions, PS exclusive stuff, preorder items) ... and many, many more! I don't want to buy the Very-Special-Imba-Über-Collector's Edition to have like 2 whatever cars beside the other 30, this isn't worth a new edition, even though it is the same price. EA only does this, to sell their year-to-year re-released products at full price to as much people as they can. It also feels like I missed something, when an item is only selled at a particular shop like Amazon or GameStop. So you can never get the FULL game. -.- I always cast an eye on the Steam Summer Sale, to get all this crappy DLCs for a penny. To sum things up: I want Addons back, like in the good old days too. (DLC politics tend to have more benefits for companies than for customers.)
  15. You could check your alignment after formatting it with Windows 7: http://www.techpowerup.com/articles/other/157 Please update your firmware if it isn't the latest: http://www.samsung.com/de/support/model/MZ-7PC512D/EU-downloads Be carful, a change in alignment or a firmware update most of the times causes an empty SSD. ;-)
  16. Sure, there will be DLCs, just have a look at Deus Ex 3: HR. ;-) They releases an optionial part of the story which was actually pretty nice. (Compare it to Thief Gold if you like.) On the other hand they also offer weapon packs which are far off, I think. They are way too strong.
  17. Oh, I have to check out this one. Thanks for mentioning. Because I liked Penumbra a little bit more. Don't know why... maybe, because Amnesia scares me to death. >_<
  18. Have you updated the firmware? (Don't know if an update is available yet, but often times it is a change in that.)
  19. Ok, with a second graphics card you will need it. I'm sorry I skipped that.
  20. Indeed it is. I worked at a D3 mapping project in the past with 2 other guys. We "solved" this artistic differences by splitting the map into thematic areas. The machine room and the cantine for example. They could be totally different in style, because the first one is dark and loud and the second one is for living. We also made certain to only use a specific set of textures for one area. So it also can be an opportunity. (Mapping the things you are best at.) The areas has been put together by the main mapper, so yes, it needs one person who is able to look at all the neccesary tweaks and possible issues. To come back to the idea: The concept would include layouts and rough concept art as well, so you have less latitude to break the style. - I still think that it is possible with the right persons and a very high level of quality control. It also needs many rules, which begin at the high of a brushed table. x_X
  21. I don't think that you need a 800W-1300W PSU. 650W should make it, even with oc and a lot of bling bling. ^^
  22. I really appreciate this idea. I think the main issue for working at a whole campaign is to motivate a team over months to years. So here is an alternative idea: Why not think out a whole story concept, in communication with the community. After that, seperate the story into ~5-10 levels with some guidelines and objectives. Anyone of the active mappers in the whole community can pick up their favorite level and work on that. It is also an opportunity for a mapper when he is lacking of ideas for a new mission. He can open up his own thread, get some feedback, ask for help to join him, etc. When the motivation is down, he can give the map back into the hands of the community, so someone else completes the work.
  23. You can use the basic bbcode when you don't see the full editor: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/BBCode For an image use: [img=webadress]
  24. Have you patched D3 before? I had the same issues before applying the patch.
  25. Really cool Tutorial. I never get used to organic terrain mapping. With this I will give it a try in the future!
