  3. Fan Mission: No Honor Among Thieves (2010/04/29)

    This FM has given me the kick up the arspidestra I needed to swap my PCs around and caused a minor upheaval in my home which will still need some sorting out so much so I forgot what I was posting about. :)

     

    Oh yes, will I miss anything if I play on Easy? Any areas not accessible, etc?

     

    You won't miss anything.

    But, darn it, pay attention to mission 2. There are so many cool optional objectives that having a high loot requirement may usually force you to seek out (thus possibly missing out on it when playing easy)!

    I tried both dropping and using... dropping did nothing at all. I'll try again.

     

    I am having one bitch of a time trying to find a way into Citywatch. I was hoping it was through the sewers/cave, but found nothing but a dead end in the water near the boat dock. The rest of the sewers led to a dead end and found no switches except for lights.

     

     

     

    Yeah... just hit "r" (or whatever your drop item key is bound to) and stick the box in Kutty's face. It'll zap it away for you :). If your too close to something, it won't bring the box out in front of you.

     

    There's a way into the Citywatch, believe you me ;)

     

    Hint:

    Try a window...

    The files still seem to be corrupting....or more specifically, getting cut off at 120megs and the download ends. This is from the new file you uploaded Gold. File size is around 140 megs, correct?

     

    Yes filesize is 144 megs. A lot of ppl are reporting "It cuts off at 120"

    Again, it works perfectly fine for me, when I download them. I tried downloading on 2 compeltely different computers with different OS', again, it works.

    I'm a tad clueless at this point. Maybe my winrar is compressing/archiving this all weird?! I had it compress/archive at "best" mode.

    Well now Data Execution Prevention is killing DOOM3 when I try to open the last quicksave (which by the image appears to be the one previous to the one I crashed trying to make). I will restart the mission and see what happens.

     

    Edit: Playing again, this time a quickload near the ombie-zay it-pay gives me this error:

     

    GAME ERROR

     

    IDPVS::FREECURRENTPVS:INVALID HANDLE

     

    No idea jaxa. None of my beta testers reported anything like that. It's probably system specific. Maybe your having the dreaded "massive savegame file" bug? Go check the size of the savegame...

    edit: Ugh, yes, this is a TDM mod bug... it's being worked on.

    No Honor Among Thieves 1.0

     

    I am proud to announce the release of the first TDM campaign, No Honor Among Thieves.

     

    ( Version 4.0 is now available. )

     

    "Turns out those Builders aren't as righteous as we think... no surprises here. An old fence of mine sold me a bit of information concerning the local Archbishop, Lavonte Duchane , and our beloved governor, Archibald Cloist. Governor Archibald has, as of late, been spotted and caught in the local brothels by our very own Builder watch. But, instead of being made public by our lovely Builder brethren, the entire situation sort of vanished. Sounds like blackmail and bribery to me. In the peak of his career an exposure like this would mean sudden death for Archibald - no more noble's support, no more Builder's support, and no more public respect. Bad for his career, but certainly good for mine. What makes the cake even sweeter is that an exposure like would be disastrous for the Archbishop himself. I'm sure the both of them will be very motivated to keep this hush hush.

    These two really seem like my type - blackmailing and bribing away - so I don't think they'll object when I blackmail them myself... It's time to begin..."

     

     

     

    Notes:

     

    To install, simply unzip the contents into the "fms" directory of your Darkmod installation, or drag and drop the pk4 into the fms folder..

     

    This campaign uses a very large amount of custom materials... models, videos, music/sounds... so it's bigger then the average bear (FM).

     

    Also, some of the ambients don't respond well to the sliders... this is a mod issue, and I'm hoping it will be fixed soon!

     

    Lastly, some linux users, for some reason, are having problems with NHAT Mission 1/3 showing up. This is because of a capital. Go your fms/Politics and rename the Politics.pk4 to politics.pk4, and also change the folder its in from "Politics" to "politics. Linux hates capitals apparently.

     

    Enjoy!

    Well at this point I've determined there's no way around the issue... I need to use the location based system, but most of the ambients won't respond to the slider since the _z ambients are completely broken.

    Ohwell.

    I didn't pick many loud ambients anyway.... and they can still be turned off completely by sliding the slider all the way to 0.

     

    edit: besides, I'll be updating the campaign a a few months from now, after 1.02

    BTW what's the performance like? Should I install on my fast PC with the hard office chair and tiny 24 inch screen or on my slow old PC with the 40 inch screen, cumfy chair, footstool, popcorn, biscuits, and gallon of coffee?

    Haul your fast PC to the 40 inch screen for an epic day of TDM-ing.

    Seriously? Performance is middle of the road. Loads of detail - but with really good optimizations.

    Aha I got it halfway fixed.

    Ambient sounds work as long as they aren't the _z version. Of course there is no way to adjust their volume/or their volume has strange effects to the ambient slider.

    *sigh*

    Does anyone have any suggestions? Or should I just release the damn campaign without much of the music being adjustable.

    Maybe...

    It started almost randomly. It begun when I added anything with the postfix _z on it (although now everything won't work). Anytime I add music to the map via location settings, it plays back slowly and quietly, and is half the pitch (lowwww). This is particularly one of maps, forest. In Anoott and politics, the music completely stopped.

    Can you confirm this? Do they work on your system?

    Lol, randomly, anything with a _z started playing twice as slow, low, and quiet! Weird.

     

    Edit: Now none of them are even playing in my other map. I changed them back to what they were before the _z, and still nothing

     

    Can anyone shed any light on this?
