Maybe we need loading screen tips with such things?

Some missions have those.

When I asked about that - other than getting the answer I was referred to The Dark Mod Gameplay wiki

My WIP. Will be done prolly before next xmas. A new protagonist and AI character will be introduced. And it will have some gas mines. Aand it's gonna be around the size of Beleaguered Fence. Aaand I try to focus on the mapping now and avoid silly side projects.

Can't wait Sotha!

I would recommend against waiting for it. Progress is really... s l o w.

I have begun...!

Ah, it is nice to see you getting back to mapping, Fieldmedic! Looking forward to see your work. They always do something differently.

Hehe, "different" is a good word to describe me

that's really well done man! Keep it up!

Very nice quality and acting

Excellent sound and body to the vocals. Much more than before. Really looking forward to the ingame audio clips and we still need a "puff" screen to keep the mic from booming.

I thought it was quite good.

This is plain amazing. It puts a lot of Harrihausen stuff in a corner.

Me chewsta!

Aw, I love that guy. He's the dork I want the free time to be.

This is cool and all but I wish Gecko would've worked with the Canon Texture folks at TTLG rather than doing his own project. He's completely changed the look of some of the textures. I guess it's author's prerogative but when you market yourself as the "official" HD mod it's kinda shady, especially since there was already HD-ification happening elsewhere...

Thank you Goldwell! @nbohr1more: Which do you mean? Those? They really look nice and I hope he can help these guys out now after 1.0 release! http://www.ttlg.com/forums/showthread.php?t=140187&page=58

Agree with nbohr1more. These textures imo are too far from the look & feel of the original game. I switched back from "HD" beta to original textures.

The actual loading times are really fast even on my ye olde HDD (5 - 15 seconds). I could imagine them being a breeze on an SSD.

unless loading is tied to framerate ala... consoles

I'm having a blast playing Thief... I'm suffering from sleep-deprivation, haha!

@VanishedOne THANK YOU! oh god I was looking for so long for that haha.

It might have been me, I can make them up again but will need to see the location where you want them placed.

Nope, it's really fun actually. And the graphics look great!

i'm not a believer. rumor has it they are pandering to all demographics, both hardcore and casual. recipe for disaster.

its 50 quid, dont know what that is in euro's or dollars, and uses 60GB on disk.

heh, ah yes to detail or not to detail that is the ultimate mappers dilemma.

ive have my auto-save set to every 15 as DR does crash on occasion and this prevents too much work being lost.

@lost_soul but they tried that already with Windows 8 and I don't think it turned out the best. I think its good to keep the desktop and tablet world separate. Just detect when a keyboard and mouse are plugged in and use normal desktop mode and if a touch screen is detected boot into the touch interface. That way everyone's happy

And of course having the option to switch between the two regardless of which peripherals are available shouldn't be too hard either. Regardless it shall be interesting to see what Microsoft turn out with the final build

could be true

Lecker!

Lol only you would comeup with something like that :-)

ahh. fine austrian beer . yummy. Slàinte!

There is not that much censoring. The swastika is gone and the enemies are not called nazis. This won't change the experience much. Although I agree that I hate the way we are getting infantilized in germany. It's for adults only anyway, so what.

It doesn't change the gameplay at all but I still hate these kinds of changes on principle. But the bigger problem is that we also only get the german voice overs and these are nearly always terrible.

Playing this now. Had to turn off SBX surround and use stereo so the game audio wasn't screwed up. Apparently doesn't detect 5.1? Also, no warning to finish obj prior to leaving when you know you'll be back to the area. Bummer. Has issues if you knew about in advance would be better. Game is ok. Good shooter wise.

I'd love to hear rain right now...it's -12 Celsius.

Sounds great, Goldwell!

Rain / Thunderstorm Maps are always so cool! Good luck with it!

Whoa, that's almost three months' worth of my DL quota.

That's pretty sad, considering I have unlimited use of 300 Mbps DL, 100 Mbps UL.

Hehe, must be all the ingame cinematics.

"the illusion only really works when you keep looking the same way, lighting is baked in, so is specular and everything else. the texture also is not "calculated" on the opposite side, it is just projected through the mesh."

It's illusional that one day we'll be able to create 3D models out of 2D photographies with a certain quality. The terms already says it, 3D -Y 2D == information lost. The only way such things could work would be to have a camera that stores depth informations in the picture combined with a tools that allows you to get the specific location of the camera. Several shots from different sides, and voila.

Everything else are just dirty hacks which will always have their nitpicks.

IMHO

Nice! Looking forward to playing it when it comes out:-).

Yum.

LOL, or changed the CCC for Heinz Backed beans.

Yeah, that's real good stuff. Of course, the real question is: do beans belong in chili? .)
