      Took a soft hit to the chest in a friendly sparring session. Sport and exercise is dangerous business, I see...

      Haha, that used to happen to me all the time. Miss doing muay thai though.

      Feel better, Sotha :).

  2. Vault... Vault never changes... The building of the 3x3 Vault Module was complicated due to Component Vault #2 mechanical obstruction. Problem was circumvented by implementing 3x3 Vault Entry Module. Proceeding as planned.

  3. Higgs particle has been found!

      I'm not sure if it's 5 sigma yet, but no one really questions it's there anymore :P

       

      @rebb: lol

      No, a Higgs-like particle has been found, there could be as many as 4 to complete the Standard Model, and the certainty was 4.9 sigma, which is plenty enough certain, but they need to measure its properties. The LHC will run for another 2-3 months before maintenance, and come back 2 years later at higher energy.

      Yup, that pretty much summarizes the press release I streamed from the net. Interesting times...

  4. There was a critical bug in the intial release of Phrase Book. Please get the updated version from the PB thread. Download link has been updated. Thanks. Sorry.

      Probably referring to the unpickable door bug in the north castle.

      The existing dropbox link has the new file. Dropbox functionality I suspected would work does work. :)

      I'm about to play this mission. I already like the sound of RITs.

  5. Cool! Fixed my WIP yesterday: now I can release it before v1.08! Phrase Book, coming out when it is ready...

      Did I hear party? I'm with you! :)

  6. Strange. I just can't get the music that plays in Sneak&Destroy tavern out of my head... It just keeps playing non-stop.

      Funny you should post that Fieldmedic. I only have a few classical YT videos locally saved, but that exact one is one of my favorites. Very evocative; I listen to it all the time.

      Wow that sounds pretty nice!

      Nice. Went to Amazon and bought the '99 Most Essential Grieg Masterpieces'.

  7. Samsung Galaxy S II has a surprisingly recent audio recording capability for simple voice acting.

      I have an SGS2 so I might give this a go under a blanket/quilt..

      I noticed the celly automagically performes normalization and background noise reduction. Quite a versatile tool it is, indeed. Still it won't beat a REAL recorder, though.

      Sometimes I use my SII to record my singing in the car while driving to work...doesn't sound so good, but I strongly believe it has little to do with the SII...

  8. Tried to do some voice acting. I simply am incapable of doing those. Please lend a hand: http://forums.thedarkmod.com/topic/13681-voice-acting-for-the-phrase-book/

      You sound fine. They're your lines; do 'em.

      Negatory. They are hideous. Either I get help, or I delete the conversations from the map prior to release.

  9. OMG! Just had a rare RIT moment. A guard was sitting on a sofa and another came and sat on his lap. I was so stumped I couldn't even get a screenie in time. When do we get code support for the AI saying something sweet in that kind of scenario.

      That's even better than the 2 guards trying to hit me, one hits the other, and they fight to the death, in front of me. Your experience... I'd be speechless... and hitting the record button.

  10. RL encounter: a door spattered with blood. What happened here?

  11. Trap sophistication level +2. Now, what to do to the victim? Crush? Burn? Drown? Minions? What a great Evil Overlord I've could have become. Too bad I chose my current career instead.. ;)

      Did you have 2 thugs chained up in a dirty bathroom?

  12. Today I made a trap. It required a lot of entitywork, but it works, albeit it can be broken. I wonder if I can make it more sophisticated...

      Wait for TDM features? Pfft! Sotha will build his own features! :)

      It uses similar entity business as the lever puzzles I've shown in the past. I find it fun challenge to make those locks and doors and levers and make them interact in a mad science-y kinda way. =)

      its amazing and very impressive.keep it up

      I think Sotha is saying he now notices something obvious which he had overlooked previously...? Or I just have an old song stuck in my head.

  14. I hate writing poor reviews.. Maybe next time no speedbuilding contests?

      I do not understand thing #1 and I had to check external sources to get the meaning. I did not have a "go at you." It was not personal, it was just a mission review. The text therein would have been the same regardless of the FMA. And the discussion here is more like mapping or this contest in general. It is not intended to be any kind of personal attack against anyone.

    3. Bikerdude

      I've replied in the Mission thread.

      I really do think these conversations should belong on the forums, not here.

  15. Yep. All kinds of cool things going on here. Gotta check those contest entries soon. Somehow I have a hunch that the remaining part of this year will be great for TDM.

  16. Uh oh.. It is Tels-style mapper motivation again.. I hope no one leaves..
