      I'm doing just that. But I can't get even simple things to work. :D

      Not much, I'm afraid. :-D I keep building vertical structures with stairs, always get leaks and weird behaviour. I have never built a single functioning staircase in TDM, and that's a major bummer I get stuck on, over and over again.

  4. Still spreading the word about TDM on forums to new peops... Funny to see people say "Awesome, I loved playing Thief back in the day!"

      Excellent and much-needed effort. Quite honestly, we should be shilling TDM to anyone who might seem interested. I try to do so everytime I get an opportunity.

  5. So, New Zealand banned semi-autos. Not a long way from banning semi-auto handguns...

      Now the bigger issue remains that societies, in NZ and worldwide, need to be more sensitive to people promoting or planning extremism. As people, we need to avoid a scenario when maniacs try to divide society with fear, inciting distrust, hate-mongering. That's what the nutcases behind this slaughter of innocents want. Terrorists like this are the same everywhere, regardless of their "cause" and motivations. We shouldn't bend our backs in front of killers. Victims matter !

      I'll only say this: The most fervent gun fans are all outraged about the prospect of banning semi-automatics, until they're on the receiving end of some crime committed by a semi-auto, with their lives at stake. Then they tend to quickly change their outlook. Humans are hypocrites like that. 50 dead innocent people is not worth someone's gun hobbies, and I'm surprised it took the NZ gov this long to ban assault rifles. Assault rifles are not for civilians, period.

  7. Sad day for content creators and internet users as the EU parlament just passed the higly controversal copy right reform :/ https://www.eff.org/de/deeplinks/2019/03/eus-parliament-signs-disastrous-internet-law-what-happens-next

      Same here, Nightcrawler. Can't say I didn't do my part as a citizen: I wrote to our EP MPs, the ones most likely to vote against (there were plenty of those), and I stressed that reforms of this sort need a longer and more open dialogue between the public and the parliament, and that the whole preparation process should be free of any lobbyism. In the upcoming elections, I won't support those who voted for these changes, but neither will I vote for those who bash the EU for populi...

      This is something individual member states will implement on their own. The EU has not ordered and cannot order everyone to implement it. All enforcement can only be by individual member states, not by the EU itself. Any implementation will take years, if at all. I wish the negotiations had gone on for a few months more, all of this could have been avoided. But in the long run, this is bound to backfire and I think it won't be really enforceable on a legal level. And Black Arrow is right...

  9. Now I'm sad. TheMasterFoundry has cancelled his channel, even though he had some very good TDM content there. :( His Training Mission playthrough was probably the best, bar none. A pity we've lost those vids.

      Same here, guys. :-( The exact reason I'm disappointed.

      Doesn't seem like that. The channel was closed by its own author, according to the message. Pity.

      I know of a few similar sites. Might add them to the resources page, give them their own section.

      Fun. :-D Please make that video public. I'll put it into the curios playlist on the TDM channel, just to entertain any TDM newcomers that might find it. :-)

  18. I finally managed to put my foot in the door and switch careers. That means no more pressure of getting into game industry and steady work on models and maps for TDM! :)

  19. Ambients database completed. I'll continue to work on the other not yet finished databases and vocal script overviews. We already have a lot more non-tutorial documentation archived than just half a year ago.

  20. Second morning with -35°C. Clothing is tiresome. Skin dries up. Wife is depressed. We only want to eat and sleep like bears.

      Epifire: A relative of mine was in disbelief you're having temperatures that low. Hopefully they'll rise a little in the coming days and weeks !

      I wouldn't like that sort of frost, but I'd still like a bit more snow where I live. Perservere, spring will come eventually.
