    Hey there, I just checked some of your old threads. You left the forum before I joined but it seems like you were close to releasing some cool stuff. I hope to see you bring it up to a good standard, because the more new maps the better.

    And i need some help :)

    anyway long story short, ended up in the nuthouse because of some problems with the real life keepers, I am still part of the illuminati but all is divided in half and since i tried to finish/''started up the fight''... i was the one being forced out of money and in the nuthouse, now i am back.

    I almost finished a map but then the trouble started, i still have it on a pc somewhere over at my mothers plus 500 of hours of work divided over maybe 50 other projects, and now i am back, if my laptop can pull the weight.

    I submitted my map after 3 day's of non stop working but it still needed work, on the plus side someone here said it was the best they had seen, that was a positive note to keep going, i will finish it one day. never stopped thinking about the Dark Mod or even dreaming and comming up with concepts, and then forgetting all about it when i drift back off.

    I went back to the tutorials to relearn and to my surprise i started building and pushing buttons without thinking about it like a second nature, but i can't for hell remember how to manipulate textures, i can apply them.., some help with that plz i am sure i can do most the scripting, but the basic of tasks i seem to have forgotten.

    Been reading the old topics, damn i must have been under alot of stress

    sure thing buddy, you to.

    Not interested in working with some of em though, if things seem to high for some they usual'y are rubbish at looking ahead.

     

    Numerate

    Able to think and express oneself effectively in quantitative terms.

     

    let it be hot air

    those few hours i spent at those projects mean nothing but 7.1 on IMDB

    a few platina's

    and the games turned out less shitty then they otherwise would.

    i am not claiming to be a prodigy.

    yet some ppl seem to think, it must be a lie to make myself seem interesting, that shows enough about who they are.

    I don't know you, you don't know me , this is the internet and i only come here to ask advise, and share some of my work/experiment.I realy realy do not have to be here, in any way, i don't have to like anyone neither do you have to like me. but you can still watch your words, i never kicked against your cart, you could have shutted up and not replyd to this topic at all, but you decided otherwise.

     

    fucking computer geeks :)

    i don't have any experience but i know what's good, i am not a master of technical aspects, but i can build a few things, correct a few things, i know what annoys me and usual i have good ideas, not meaning in any way, that i know what i am doing, and i spend all in all a few hours in on those sets.

    I know several of the Eidos devs are familiar with TDM. Some are even fans. But there's certainly no evidence they used it as a template for T4.

     

    I told them to take it as a template, maybe it is not exactly a template, for Thief 4, anyway, we did got off the wrong foot, and most of the time i am not clear enough, if i would tell you that i came up with making Thief 4 you would not believe me,

    when those 2 dev's left the office i was there, it was all about a discussion over, 1st person and 3th person,

    i said, if you make the game to be played from a 3th person perspective, it will suck,

    he said yeah but Metal Gear and Splinter Cell are bla bla bla,

    then the boss showed up and told em yeah 1st person takes you in to the game, 1st person it is.

    He said this is my game - the boss said if you don't like it, you can go.

    He and his friend left with him.

    That was the big argument and the reason the 2 big devs left, as i see it no big loss, they wanted to make it a third person shit game.

    the other work i did was just a little guidance, like the hand on the wall when you peek, all these dynamic things, or the dog's where original not calculated in.

    A function in the menu for choosing a light gem, the ability to map any button to any function, an option many games lack, full menu for graphical settings same thing.

    From editing a game i know nothing at all, hence me trying to get in to it a bit trough this great mod, and the game is playable without that instinct shit, that was not my idea, i kind of dislike it, but you have the option just not to use it, it is not required. which is good.

     

    o and the most important part, i don't know if it is implicated, but i had this idea to have a simplified 3d map with some sort of noise effect overlay, of the real map area, and reveal that as you go trough the level or pick up a map, to give you a a view as if in an imagination, is showing you how it looks, so not just a piece of paper with lines but a 3d memory map, that way you can see wich area's are left black/un-explored.

    a function the dark mod could use possibly.

     

    further the map thing was done in, Skyrim, wich is an acctual height map of skyrim.

    i built the cove at the pirateboat cave.

     

    la noir was built from Maffia city of lost heaven best game ever made

    built 1 wardrobe in LA Noir which is in the furniture warehouse if you played it... (it kinda sucked)

     

    Gave some advise for Farcry3

     

    directed/made a puzzle for the last Tomb raider.

     

    And a whole lot of other stuff, i went from company to company day to day, to give advise, not just in the game industry.

    It is more like a friend of a friend of a friend could use some advise, and so it keeps going, and you see the world, while at it.
