I do have a dual core, but it's @ 1.66 Ghz with 1 GB RAM - GeForce Go 7400. I'd be happy to help test if you think my system is low-end enough.

Mine, and it'll also take a while.

When I click Add Property for a new spawnarg it would be useful if the window that pops up remembers the size and position you had it last time. Its default size is currently too small for all of the scrolling needed.

H'excellent! I still have to get myself a proper PC though. Can't wait to give this a spin.

I always have time for caves. Also, I'm jealous of your fps.

I'm really intrigued to see what the inventor is like now.

The wiki has installation instructions: http://wiki.thedarkmod.com/index.php?title=Installation As far as I know you can just copy the Dark Mod folder straight into Doom 3, and you don't need anything other than the patch.

[snipped a bit out because I don't actually want a proper argument ] A number of other places I visit have no real rules or much moderation and have found functional balance along with being highly productive, but goddamn it's crazy. Maybe not good for every forum, but I'm still a big fan of laissez-faire moderation. It's not paradise, but it feels more real.

Thank you, guys. I'm trying to use nice layout and lighting to distract from the very simple geometry in the streets. I can't make every road bendy though, because it's a lot of work.

Some early work. I'm hoping that if it works alright on my computer then everyone else will have no trouble.

Aside from possible copyright problems with using the audio, both pieces would be really problematic to implement properly. There's so much volatile suspense in there that you are threatening the player, but risk annoying them if they can't hear the danger coming or if there really was no immediate danger after all. That's my personal opinion.

. I can just see the moonlight shards piercing the air through a skylight.

I'm going to program in (my keyboard is broken) one of Chopin's nocturnes for my mission. I wondered what people would think about that, but decided to go ahead entirely because the specific piece reminds me of Thief so badly.

I have discovered that lighting the alcoves and crevices of your map will make it look pretty and add a richness to the feeling of depth (like lighting a hollow pumpkin), but it doesn't help for sneaking around. I will need to find some middle ground.

I hope I don't sound patronising for mentioning this, but in films and games, audio is always your best friend for cheap illusion. It's something I always try to remember. [EDIT] : Ooops. Didn't see the new posts. I meant that as a general thing aside from you wanting to use ragdolls.

_Atti_ you ninja'd my question. It looks awesome.

So, now that No Honor Among Thieves is at large, and we've all had fun playing it, what is in the pipeline from everyone else? I'm working on a mission right now that is probably going to take a long time to finish. I'm thinking of ways to cut corners so that I can achieve what I want without it taking me years to accomplish. I won't show any screenshots for a while because it doesn't look impressive to me yet. I'm going to make sure that the player has plenty to climb, because that seems to be where TDM really shines.

Man, your zombie pit was intense. I fell in after messing up a jump and slammed F9 half in shock.

Even though I didn't managed to extract the missions without an error, they seem to be there, and I'm playing them ok. It's just the videos that are messed up a little. There are artifacts and I get crashes. I'll try and grab the mission again.

I'm not having much luck unzipping. I've downloaded it twice, from different mirrors and the zip has been corrupt. I'll try again.

I'm going to play Crooked Town for T2 while I wait for this.

In my opinion any future contest should encourage mappers to make something that takes advantage of TDM's strengths. Sections with rope arrows and puzzles that use object manipulation would go down well I think.

That sounds like a big foot (in an equally big door). Good luck with that.

But.....but..... I want to leave the house this weekend. Please?
