  1. Played around and was able to turn TDM to black and white. The only thing that is still colored is the player and the hud. Should be easy to get them to b/w, too. :D

      I thought about including in my mission a scene where you enter a room and have a sort of flash back in black and white. But I don't know how the community would like that. Either way I might ask for your help with that Obs when the time comes

      Sounds like a brilliant idea. Do it Goldwell.

      We don't know yet what branch it was exactly. The MP3 creators are just one of several FH branches. Hope Obsti will enlighten us. ^^

      Actually I've applied a lamp. :D

  4. I was able to reproduce the teleport feature from "path of shadows" in TDM. Still a bit buggy, though. Sometimes the player ends out in the void :D

      Looking forwards to it! Could make for an interesting non-TDM-lore/core mission.

      Dishonored blink power in TDM. You need some fancy particles.

      Might want to post this one again, and keep making new ones for a week or two, so this info is always right in front of people when they come here

      Can't get the latter to run (msvcp110.dll missing). I've tried installing MSVC++ redistributable, but already have the newest version of the 2010 package.

       

      Any suggestions?

    3. Serpentine

      Serpentine

      The newest redist may not be the one you need, later sp's don't cover some earlier stuff etc. Guess I could make a new build sometime.

      avg free is based on kaspersky code. Just do custom install and uncheck everything that can be unchecked, then turn off notifications in avg settings. Then it's a well behaved a.v.

      I think I've fixed it now.

  10. Is there a way to parametrisize particles similar like one can do with materials (shaderParm)?

    2. Sotha

      Sotha

      Obst, you could it like this:

      1) make different versions of your particle, with different size and count.

      2) make defs for func_emitters that emits your particles of different types.

      3) make a script that destroys func_emitter emitting type 1 and sys.spawn a new emitter emitting particle type 2 into the position the old emitter used to be. Should be straightforward, methinks.

    3. Obsttorte

      Obsttorte

      I want a continuos blending of the particle properties. However, for the one I'd like to use I can also use a texture. I was just wondering if aa particle would work either.

  11. I've finally found a way to create a trap, which reacts depending on the weight lying on it as well as forces applied. Will upload a video and a description soon.

      Looking foward to this. I had a heck of a time with the trap in Score to Settle.

    3. Obsttorte

      Obsttorte

      I'm still working at fine-adjusting it. Due to dooms phisic engine it's behaving a bit strange by now. But generally it works. The good thing is that you only need a scriptobject on the trap to adjust it and trigger the events once the trap should get activated, but nothing more. The trap itself is a simple moveable. No triggers are needed. I hope I have something to present til the end of the week.

    4. Sotha

      Sotha

      This is very interesting. It was crazy to do the water trap in Phrase Book. I wonder if your trap could be generalized into a pressure plate or a tripwire that would set off mines, thus enlarging their usefulness-radius.

  12. Defending my diploma thesis tomorrow. Wish me luck.

      I don't know what "touch with hidden symbols" means, but I will post an detailed explanation of this effect in my mapping thread tomorrow, so everybody can look how it is done. It is actually quite easy.

      looks like effect of enchanted runic arrow, or maybe (with different visuals, some smoke/spark emitters) instead of water some alchemical universal solvent. Can be at least useful in glacial area when you use fire arrows.

  13. Just stumbled over this:

    (it's a review of TDM in german). For those who don't speak german, they recommend it.

      The guy cant play for shit though..

    3. Obsttorte

      Obsttorte

      Well, actually he says that the way he does it is not the way it is meant to be played. In the scene where he fights the city guard who then ran away he just wanted to demonstrate that guards carry armor that can protect them from taking damage. He also stated that one should avoid being detected and that if this happens the best option is to run.

       

      It was simple about showing the mod.

      I got the impression that he isn't that big of a thief player. But he liked it and admired that fact that it's all non professional work by fans.

      Nope, they use different keys.

      TDM is a mod, so eventually different weapons will be added, and could be grouped under one key -like readables key or keys key.

    4. Obsttorte

      Such things had to be implemented into the code. This can't be scripted.

      I'll try to easen the setup a bit more, and will then post an explanation in my mapping thread. If it is assumed easy enough, I'll also create a wiki article.

    3. Sotha

      This brings me an idea. Is it possible to make non-stiff cloth the same way like rope? You would have small squares that would be knit together forming a mesh. Maybe they could be made to sway with the wind. Or push aside as AI walks through them.

    4. Obsttorte

      Obsttorte

      I guess one could create such things in Blender.

      Moonbo

      @Obs, of course it depends on what you feel God is like, but if God is a parent, then we are beings of unassailable worth and that is more contenting (at least to me) than to believe that we're just an accident of chance with no real value.

    3. Obsttorte

      Obsttorte

      @Moonbo: This is the logical explanation. But I fairly doubt that this is the origin of your belief.

       

      However, as said it was more a general question, not applying to me personally. I cannot imagine to believe, although I can't really explain why. It's a similar question to: "Does it make you happier if you have a lot of money?".

       

      Religiousness is something I've never really understood.

    4. Moonbo

      Moonbo

      This might be better to carry on in a PM, but is it religious practice (i.e. specific rituals/activities) or religious belief (the notion that your life has a purpose outside of yourself) that's difficult to understand?

  18. I'm currently replaying thief3. What the hell, 50% of my reloads are caused by getting hanged up at the geometry :( Didn't had it that bad in memory.

      There's also this funky bug where Garrett gets stuck looking like he's falling and you can't jump during that, but if you manage to drop off of a small ledge then he goes back to normal again. I get this bug all the time. :(

      That's why TDM is superior t TDS/T2 and in fact many other games. Our mantling system is second to none.

      To be fair, T2 mantling improved a lot with NewDark. But yeah, TDMs is still better :o)
