  1. Hi Goldwell, fantastic mission overall, level design is top notch, as always and I absolutely enjoyed the little details and touches, like flies and incense in the toilet. Overall, the mission was performing well, but there were several passages which were lagging + the small room in the hotel with the bear skin and tea garden had abysmal performance (probably less than 10 FPS on my system). Maybe it has something to do with 2.07 update in general, I noticed that all missions performance dropped heavily after that update, regardless of my settings of the soft shadows. I also enjoyed the new icons for various items (arrows, food), and I noticed while they´re being picked up, they will not just disappear, like in the previous versions of the Darkmod, but rather fly in your direction through the air – interesting little touch. I was able to find only 3 secrets out of 6, I, like the others, have also been wondering whether it´s because maybe some secrets weren´t registered by the game, although I have found them. Maybe I have missed also different Keeper paths, since there was only one I found, but the objective menitons plural, so I assumed there might be more than one. Is there anybody who was able to find all the secrets? Really would wish to know their locations Thanks for the mission,
  2. Just in case you wouldn´t know, yesterday Diablo 1 was released on GOG with functional multiplayer! :o

      But not for free :/

      Yeah, not for free, but it´s great achievement nonetheless, that game have been legally unavailable for some time. Plus it´s only there, there´s no other store offering it.

  3. I just noticed Bikerdude was banned? When? What happened? He was one of the long standing members and content creator :o

  4. Sadly, I´ve heard the same. I really hope this is not how System Shock 3 will pan out. Ascendant seems undercooked in all the areas + that non-functioning save system is just... I don´t have time like I used to 10 years ago, so being able to save anywhere is a must, especially in a game like this.
  5. I have heard about it, definitely want to try it out
  6. There are several: I highly recommend Death's Cold Embrace, goes right there up with Seven Sisters from Lady Rowena, when it comes to storytelling. Speaking of Lady Rowena, her last map, sadly, Home Sweet Home (first part of a trilogy which now never will be finished), is also worth checking out. And Godbreaker was highly recommended to my by one player:
  7. Very nice mission indeed I liked how you tried to use every nook and cranny of the maps to give player some form of a reward. And I liked the humor (son getting a present from a mother) I was able to find 8 out of 11 secrets, Only thing which I would point out is optimization - the part of mansion with lady´s bedroom (especially when you enter through the double-wing door) runs terribly slow on my high-end PC, whereas others run quite well. Really nice mission, looking forward to your future ones! Also, I have noticed this strange graphical glitch, which was also present in Shadows of Norhtdale, so I think it has something to do with Nvidia drivers:
  8. I am so sorry to learn about Sir Taffsalot´s passing. Rest in peace.
  9. Thanks for clarification. I wanted to be sure before proceeding to other fanmissions that there is no way of finishing this one
  10. Is there any way to finish the mission? I assume since there is written objective "This arena has no end" there is no way to end this mission (having all objectives ticked, after that getting to the end of the level)?
  11. Just about finished this mission - this is absolutely gorgeous mission with such an attention to detail! So much of the props + rock textures must have been made especially for this mission! And the atmosphere of the whole place - I loved the design Can somebody post where all the secrets were? i was able to find 5 out of 7. I think at least one more might be in the
  12. Already blowing my socks off, similarly to Volta and the Stone mission, and I just barely started It is as if I am playing Thief2 FM, the way the level is layered out strongly reminds me of some good fan missions. This seems to be a mission made with a lot of attention for the detail. Damn, why do I have to get to work tomorrow?
  13. God, is it ten years already? Still the best engine version from all different Cryengine versions, imho.
  14. Fantastic mission, Goldwell! I have thoroughly enjoyed it and, to be honest, because of the structure change, I do not remember nothing form the former mission, except the sewer meeting beginning I will write just a few nicks I have noticed: But the atmosphere - oh boy: I absolutely loved that creepy + attention to detail: rain! Rain on the window glasses, wet surface of the roofs, eaves flowing with water - I don´t remember any other mission with such atmospheric rain. I had 4 out of 6 secrets, have no idea where the last 2 are, i was missing 370 gold pieces and it took me about 1:51 hours to finish the game. Very pleasant to see a new fan mission
  15. I have seen the new one this Thursday, and here´s what I have to say about it: When Harrison Ford said about the movie, that it has the best screenplay he ever read, I was cautiously optimistic. After all, I wasn´t sure whether Villeneuve will be able to deliver a sequel, which would hold well in the shadow of the original. I did not had to be. I will not go into judging, whether this movie is as good as the first one, or even better; this movie stands firmly on its own legs, sensitively extends the original plot and develops the themes in it own way. For me, it is a movie of the year and a legend, which will be watched long after it has been shot. It is almost as if I have seen a short story by Bacigalupi, flawlessly transferred into movie. 5/5* (and I am not one of those, who easily gives a full rating) Oh, and soundtrack is very good.
  16. Hm... aren´t many of you guys members of both communities? I am just surprised that general consensus is, as you are writing Melan, that these are two separate communities.

      This is great. Lotta fanfare going around for the recent update. I'm hoping we may yet see some new blood arriving to our community upon the steam release.

      Here is also a new article by Gamestar, germanys biggest gaming magazine. http://www.gamestar.de/news/pc/3309958/the_dark_mod.html

  17. Aaand I pushed that magic button on a Steam Greenlight :)

  18. Congratulations on a release of this interesting mission, Dragofer! I have two questions, because now I am stuck no matter what I do: Edit:// I have beat it! Interesting mission with unusual story setup, though I must say I felt lost several times Setting is original
  19. On an unrelated note: I have just learned about Lady Rowena´s passing. That in game tribute/secret, of course, let me wondering, whether this is just another in game paying respect to another gifted modder/developer, or whether Rowena really did passed away, because this one seemed different. I just learned today that the latter was the real reason behind it. Her Seven Sisters mission, without any exaggeration, is amongst the best missions I have played in my life, level-design and story wise. May she rest in peace,
  20. Fantastic mission, Melan! There are several things I am not able to resolve by myself:
