  2. (SPOILER) explanation of more of the new Thief story

      Interesting story. Just from the narrator's description it seems a bit watered at points in the plot but overall, interesting.

      Whether than can hold salt against QTE's is another thing entirely.

      Very nicely done, thanks for sharing the link! The story itself I find promising, so let's hope that the gameplay can hold the candle to the background.

  3. 137 bugs fixed. 58 remaining. Only 30% of bugs left until a beta build for Shadows of Northdale Act 2 is ready.

  5. After being able to FINALLY experience TDM in the way it's meant to (high resolution with 16x AA and AF) and having a constant 60+ FPS... WOW I just have to say this game is so freakin' beautiful! and amazing! It's like a different game at these settings :D

      I just put a 650 watt PSU in my "frankenbox" (backup PC that used to be a single-core Athlon. Now it will take a better GFX card than this gt440...

      My poor gaming rig is so old now. I'll need to upgrade this year...I can hope anyway. No used parts have yet come through the shop which are better than what I already have. I really want to get away from this geforce 550ti and 800MHz RAM.

  6. An interesting read for those who believe Microsoft is invading your privacy with 10. https://www.petri.com/windows-10-privacy-concerns-are-overblown-but-perception-matters

      Well, at the end they figured out how their competitiors make money, and go the same way. Actually it's the only way MS will be able to compete against the likes of Google and Apple. They overslept the mobile OS thing quite a while, and have to catch up now. With a one time payment for the OS, there obviously isn't enough money to be made anymore. Tbh, also on the net, i rather have ads than having to pay for every website or service. Because that's the unfortunate alternative.

    3. chakkman

      chakkman

      And personalized ads is the way to go, whether one likes that or not. With the always increasing amount of ads, there's a need to make those more relevant to you, so they stand out.

      Ha I had to double check that wasn't written there :P

       

      I've never had Czech beer myself so i'm curious how it will taste.

    3. Melan

      Melan

      Daniel Vávra, ladies gentlemen. There are still cool people in game development.

       

      Also, Czech beer has a very high probability of being very, very good.

      LOL it's Swing, one of the most awesome maps ever.

  9. As I have been getting a few requests for vocals recently I just wanted to inform everyone that I am no longer doing vocals for any project regardless of whether it's related to thief/tdm. I plan on fulfilling my old agreements but after they're done then that's it from me.

      Good to hear. I mean, that you will still do vocals on your missions. The Shadows of Northdale campaign is very promising.

      In lue of young GW stepping away from VA, and as I have a good mic and some semblence of acting skill (not as good as GW) I am happy to try and step in if my voice is suitable that is.

    4. grayman

      grayman

      Thanks for your contributions. I guess I'm going to need to find the voice of "our friend" in William Steele's remaining missions elsewhere.

  10. Before I move my project from Alpha into Beta I wanted to have a (preferably experienced) mapper go through and point out any obvious wrong doings. I wont be ready to send out the map for a couple of weeks so this is just more so to see if anyone is interested.

      Will do! As I said in the original post probably a couple of weeks. But if all goes well maybe next week I can get you a copy to see what you think :)

  11. Bit of an odd question and google doesn't seem to find it either but did thief 3 have weather? like rain?

      The Widow Moira mission had pretty awesome weather effects and mood. Try to replay this masterpiece! =)

    3. Anderson

      Anderson

      I don't think there was any rain. Which is odd a little? The most prominent thing that comes to my mind is the first level of Thief 2X but that is a different game.

       

    4. Obsttorte

      Obsttorte

      If the rain is as performance houngry as it is in idTech4, I can understand the decision to not use it. ;)

  12. Bourbon Whiskey and Scotch - The staple of a healthy Dark Radiant creation diet!

      Bourbon? No.

      Scotch? Yes! :)

      It fits with the ole' theme!

      Like Sotha I just drink water (on most occasions actually). Ethanol dulls your senses - I think it's best kept away from activities that require a lot of concentration.

      I think it could be good when you're brainstorming & mapping on paper. You want to let creativity flow & get into the roles of all the NPCs. On DR, not so much for me because one goal would be staying awake!

      Ive been watching this project for a while.. The graphic is of course lower than Skyrim, but the game is looking fine..

    3. Goldwell

      Goldwell

      I disagree about the graphics being bad, I have seen them first hand running 60 fps on ultra settings and holy hell are they amazing! Especially for an MMO.

       

      I guess MMO's aren't for everyone but I do enjoy playing them casually, big fun worlds to explore with many people sounds fun to me

    4. SeriousToni

      Maybe you want to give your personal review to me when you played it for a few weeks? :)

  14. Don't you hate it when all you want to do is work on your map but you have to work, this feeling sucks!

      I really have to learn how to not waste my free time. Some people are capable of go jogging, read book and draw something, while I can wake from daydreaming just before bed time.

      Same here. Starting to get to the end of a project... when I get hit with another that needs to be done on an extra-tight deadline.

  15. Even though the description says not to use it, will replacing a coinpurse on an AI with "atdm:prop_empty" mess anything up? the game seems to be fine so far but the description for the prop_empty was vocal about not using it.

    1. Dragofer

      Dragofer

      Could you replace the item name in the two spawnargs with a -? Iirc that's how I've been deleting props that are attached by default.

    2. Obsttorte

      Obsttorte

      If the engine doesn't recognize the attached entity it will post a warning in the console and not attach anything (that's what is happening when you use -). You can hardly mess anything up he. But if atdm:prop_empty is an entity that actually exists and you just want to remove it, you should better be using -.

    3. Goldwell

      Goldwell

      Thank you both, i've replaced the spawnarg with just "-" to be on the safe side.

      Omg Melan! Thats exactly what I saw in my head.. hm I need to find a way to bring that in now. Instead I have converted that room into an alchemist type room but yeah that's really cool. Man I love Thief 2!

  17. Going to buy a new monitor. What are the specs to look out for on a monitor so it can handle darkness in video games better?

    1. lost_soul

      lost_soul

      Make sure its IPS.

    2. Bikerdude

      Bikerdude

      +1 one on that, but do me a favour and ask this in the tech.supp. section as we can better help you there.

  18. Google mobile is on the forums online user lists (in addition to google)... never seen that before

      He's a pretty cool guy. You ask him to find stuff and he'll usually turn up the goods. A little nosy though...

    1. nbohr1more

      nbohr1more

      Spooks claims it was reproducible in 2.03:

      Yes, and it also happened in 2.06 too. A specific mission that comes to mind is when I was playing grayman's The Warrens

    3. Goldwell

      Goldwell

      Oh damn.. i've never noticed it before

  21. Has anyone tried running TDM and/or Dark Radiant on Windows 10 yet? I assume its compatible but I plan to upgrade to 10 when it comes out (this summer) so it would be nice to know beforehand

    1. Bikerdude

      Bikerdude

      It runs fine, just tested b10036

    2. AluminumHaste

      AluminumHaste

      Yeah ran fine for me also, don't know about DR

    3. Bikerdude

      I should have said I tested DR.

  22. How many floppy disks would it take to store the dark mod and all its missions?

      The latest ones I remember could store a bit over 3MB. If Mr. Bohr is right with the size we would talk about 3600 disks.

  23. I always see this error message "Flood control is enabled. Please wait at least 12 seconds before attempting to search again" can a forum admin please turn it off for members?

    1. Goldwell

      Goldwell

      It's annoying if I search for something, realize I made a typo and then try to search again with the correct spelling and have to wait another 12-15 seconds

    2. SteveL

      SteveL

      Yes, it's annoying when you get punished for using 3 letter terms too. How exactly to search for AAS?

      I don't know whether it can be turned off, but I never use the built-in search any more. Google does a much better job, and searches both forum and wiki in one. You have to add site:thedarkmod.com to your search terms.

    3. SeriousToni

      SeriousToni

      Same problems I had everytime I wanted to search for something ^^ Wether it was too short or I wanted to correct a search

  24. I require an extra set of eyes on a introduction video I have created for my mission. The video will be ready within an hour or so and I need just one volunteer. Any takers?

    1. Moonbo

      Moonbo

      Hey Goldwell, you can send it my way.

    2. Bikerdude

      Bikerdude

      I am also happy to have a look.

    3. Goldwell

      Goldwell

      Alrighty, i'll send it through to both of you soon. Just adding a few final touches then going to export it.
