[Hello! I'm new to the TDM forums.]

Thanks a lot guys.

 

I do have a ventrilo server where we could gather for a voice session, not making any promises but we could feel each other out a bit. There's really too much to do for a voice recording in my mind because subtle changes can be made to voices to evoke what the listener is looking for. That would be a lot of sound clips and I think it would be better served in a TS/Ventrilo/Skype type of format.

 

Hey, I may not be able to do anything to you guys liking so don't get your hopes up.

[Hello! I'm new to the TDM forums.]

Just wanted to say, Hello! From reading through various posts in the forums it seems like a great community and I hope to become a part of it.

 

So I got the hankering for some Thief as of late and stumbled on TDM through some googling. After purchasing Doom 3 through Steam and instaling TDM, I have been nostalgiacly playing through many of the FMs and have also decided to d/l the Radiant editor and start making a mission, maybe many, we'll see. As it turns out also, I just started (today!) my 1 week vacation from work and intend to dive in to the Radiant editor and am currently going through the A-Z wiki on it.

 

A bit of background on me, I 'used' to work in application support till the economic crash a couple years ago and was laid off and am now running a machining center at a local machine shop, using Mastercam daily, 2D/3D stuff and have always wanted to make a mission/game, and decided since I've always enjoyed the Thief series and stealth gameplay so much, this is where I would start. After getting to my third year in Mechanical Technology I changed my major to Information Technology (should have went with straight Computer Science but ahhh hindsight). I've always loved building things and designing things and also really enjoy computers, art, audio, and the entire visual experience as presented to a user.

 

I have created a couple playable maps before using the older source engine editor so I'm vaguely familiar with 3D modeling, skyboxes, lighting, AI pathing, etc. That's been over 10 years ago though. I got familiar with 3dsmax, ProE, Autocad, and Mastercam in my first major during school so that helps a bit when familiarizing with a new editor and as previously mentioned I've dabbled around in the Valve Source editor.

 

I'm also very much looking forward to the Crucible of Omens campaign created by the marvelous talent at TDM and would like to help in any way I can once I'm familiar with the Radiant engine.

 

I can also do many many voices, I've often thought about moving out to Cali from Indiana and finding work in voice-overs, voice acting, etc. All this started as a youngster with little friends, time on my hands, and imaginary friends. Wow that's hard to admit. So anyway, I've been working on a shadowy Garrett voice, and can do guards and some women characters with old, old english, gruff, slippery, sneaky, terrifying, voices and personalities.

 

Just thought I'd mention that as it may be a way that I could contribute early on and would also enjoy.

 

So anyway, too much about me and not enough A-Z wiki, back to the tutorial! Glad to be here and hope for good things to come.

I would like to play TDM in surround but have been unsuccessful getting the old gamex86.dll thing working as mentioned about mid-page here.

 

Nice talking to you fellas, I'll see you around as I'm planning on creating an FM.
