  1. Fan Mission: Patently Dangerous (2009/10/31)

    I just finished this level... wow, I'm really impressed!

    The atmosphere is just right!

     

    It took me a while to make good jumps from one roof to another. I had some difficulties knowing exactly when to jump (meaning: right before falling). But of course, this has nothing to do with this map... more about TDM in general.

     

    About the last part:

     

    I walked backwards, and as soon as the door opened, I quickly ran behind the opening door. The murderer just stood still in the room. A quick tap on the head did the rest :laugh:

    I was really surprised the first time though, when hearing his creepy voice!

    LeatherMan and Gr1nReaper, thank you so much for helping out... I can start the game without a problem.

    Just tried the tutorial, and everything is going smooth!

     

    @LeatherMan: one thing was missing from the install guide. When I tried to start doom3, it gave me an error: "doom3 couldn't load default.cfg"

    So I did

    touch ~/.wine/drive_c/Program\ Files/Doom\ 3/default.cfg

    to create the file. After this, I could start Doom3

    Wow, thanks for wanting to write all that down!

    I'm going to try it as soon as possible.

     

    Activision (the id Software website referred me to them) didn't want to give any support at all:

     

    I'm using Ubuntu 9.04, and installed Doom3 using the linux binary (+ copying the pak files from the CDs).

    Everything seems to work, except for specific key bindings:

    * the arrow keys

    * the right ctrl key

    * the keys above the arrow keys (ins, del, home, ...)

    I'm not the only one with this problem (with different keyboards), but I haven't found a solution so far. Turning off numlock does not help.

    Is there a solution for this?

    Please note that we are only able to provide support for the game when playing on the Windows Operating system. The Ubuntu/Linux systems are not guaranteed to work with the game properly as the game was not specifically designed for the Linux operating systems.
    But I downloaded an official linux installer from the id software website?

    Does this mean you're not giving any support at all? I am sure that there are a lot of other people with the same problem.

    We are not able to provide support for the use of the Linux operating system with the Doom 3 game. We have not seen Linux users contact us regarding this game as the vast majority of users use the Windows Operating system to play their game. If you would like to seek support for using the Linux version of the game, then we suggest that you refer to online Doom 3 forums for assistance with running your game on the Linux/Ubuntu OS.

    I'm having the exact same problem here... installed Doom 3 on Ubuntu 9.04 64bit. I remember that I had the same problem before, and turning off NUMLOCK seemed to do the trick, as every key worked then. Now I've got the same problems as described by Gr1nReaper.

     

    I've got a Logitech G11, maybe this is a bit too exotic for Doom 3 :)

    The keyboard works flawlessly in Ubuntu though.

     

    Going to try this with a generic keyboard without extra keys when I have the chance...

    Am I the only one that uses the arrows on the keyboard for moving around?

    Right shift for jumping, right ctrl for crough, enough buttons above and right of the arrows... and what's most important: you always know you've got your fingers to the correct buttons :)

  6. Being caught on the street

    Because you look like this: ...

    I was hoping he'd wear his robe in the sequel... there have been so many complaints about the cap thingie :laugh:

    A true thief never reveals himself...

     

    edit: and yeah, pedestrian is the word I was looking for.

    I'm not sure if this has been discussed before... I've just searched the forums but couldn't find any information about it (probably because I'm not sure what words to search for).

     

    I'll try to explain:

    In Thief3, you could wander around in the city, without people yelling ooooh, thief, because you're just a passenger pedestrian, and there's nothing that makes people think you're a thief. Apart from those who know who you are...

    This is what I really liked in Thief3... and if I remember it correctly, it wasn't the really case in Thief 1&2 (or at least it didn't really stand out as much as in Thief3).

     

    Also, it's funny how your own footsteps are "triggered" (people will come and take a look), and footsteps of a guard ain't.

     

    You probably know where I'm going to: how will others know you're thief and not just a regular guy, servant or guard?

    I recently saw a trailer of

    , and I immediately thought of Thief. Of course the game is a lot different, but the interaction with the crowd is a bit similar. Hitman also had some interesting ideas: the less you act like a regular guy, the more people will find you suspicious.

     

    I'm just wondering how this will be done in the Dark Mod :)

    Of course, most of this will apply to what's going on in the streets, and not really the mission itself.
