It's been a while since we've seen such an avalanche of spam.

I hope you didnt buy a plane ticket from them.

I know I'm not active much, but it feels a bit too silent in here. Is everyone taffing around, again?

What was that noise?!

This new Twitter block looks kinda bad on the Forum's dark theme. Also, why is this info shown here on the forum anyway?
I would like to see an option at least to disable it.
Although I guess I could use some css..
Edit: This seems to do it:
/* Remove Twitter timeline */ .twitter-timeline { display: none !important; }
-
It seems it can only be set to either black or white, independent of users' theme.
It seems quite a few of us didnt know that the Twitter account was still in active use.

Monday morning 8:30 CET and almost 30 people online...wow.

Nothing like 03/13/21 12:31 PM, when we apparently had 4230 members online simultaneously. Must've been a new TDM version release.

Does anyone ever actually read these status updates?
-
Yes, but I doubt everyone who reads the status update replies to it.
Also, sometimes people reply to something without having read it.

Boris Johnson's resignation does not change the fact that Australia is home to 29 million kangaroos and Wales has a population of just over three million.
If the Australian kangaroos were to invade Wales, one resident would have to fight almost ten kangaroos at a time.-
But did you account for the fact that they would arrive upside down, fall on their heads and be dazed? Unless your invention is capable of both translation and rotation.

The question is how you would ship such a large invasion force. Does Australia have that large a navy? They would have to come in many waves, making the defense less dire than you describe.

I'm beginning to understand why people who aren't into social clubbing "don't last long" on this project, and why it's so full of holes. When moderators are siding with bullies, by closing down threads that they derail, then I start to wonder if I should support the platform to begin with.
I'm sure that the core development is solid, but when you're constantly tone policed and bullied, and moderators are playing into it too, then the project will just drive away talent, and replace it with socialites instead. ...and without talent, you only end up with a small skeleton crew trying to do everything themselves.
...so Dragofer and Airship Ballet, and all you other socialites, you win. From now on I'll just keep to myself. You'll never be able to do my work, but at least you'll be happy together, and that's what matters to you.
Update
Actually, I have to revise my statement:
I actually messaged greebo - the top dog, I gather - about nbohr1more's outburst of insanity below, and since I haven't even heard back from him, I just have to assume that there's not a single core programmer here, who's not backing nbohr's threats. ...and that's bad....so if you're a newbie reading this, or an honest soul like ZergRush, then just slowly back out of these forums, run, and don't look back. This is nothing more than a cult posing as a game development project, using Thief and IDTech4 to sucker hopefuls in, to do work for them, while trying to cajole them into something going on behind the scenes, which apparently - according to nbohr - is something that should be hidden from the state. These people aren't programmers - they don't even understand things like how to fix the simplest bugs. All they have, is an engine, and an IP, and some sort of fascist social cult. There was some other project I saw being made in the Unreal Engine. Try joining that project. ...or start a project of your own. Anything but this asylum.
Hopefully that was "divisive" enough for a final post, because at this point I really want people to leave this place. This project is, on a management level, just awful garbage, run by garbage people, apparently from the top down, and I'm just glad that they have a garbage place to stay, together, and hopefully forever.

@geegeewhat he means is a bunch of fixes and workarounds for some console errors. Doesn't harm to have some extra helping hands to take care of the less skilled tasks, but definitely not worth the constant abuse that comes with it in this case - about being lazy, incompetent, needing to be shown how it's done, working as if heavily drunk etc. etc.

So, how do any of you feel about "Map Ideas"? I have no time, motivation or big enough desire, sorry 'bout that, to make maps myself, but I do have a lot of ideas, maybe a good mapper would pick up and make it, or even make it up his own? Always loved giving some "artistic freedom".

For sure. I think we have some mission inspiration threads already, but none of them are pinned so it's fair game to start a fresh one.

Listen, I'm not mad, scripters. Well, maybe just a little upset, but mostly bewildered.
I'm reading all these script files, and their indentation, and I'm just picturing some sort of frat party going on, where everybody is plastered, and is sometimes just making out while sitting on the spacebar.
I mean you have heard of indentation, right? ...like properly nested indentation?
...because the first time I looked at one of your script files, I was like "Oh! So this is a sort of indentation based nesting, that looks very complex now, but which I'm just going to have to learn.".
...but no. Apparently this is obfuscation that makes every script look like "ph'nglui mglw'nafh Cthulhu R'lyeh wgah'nagl fhtagn".

Alright cultists, this should suffice to teach him a lesson. Return to the Discord club where I will give you your next instructions.

I've been thinking alot about indentations in the last time.

It's as if there were this near-imperceptible whisper carried by the wind, and suddenly indentation takes up my thoughts.

Can you even KO horses? Maybe with a gas arrow, at least.

They're definitely good to have, in the same way as having visual inspiration for architecture is good to have. I think the most practical to implement would be smaller ideas for specific locations or story components, like a warehouse with some dark backstory.

You seem to have exasperated the majority of people you've come into contact with so far, so it's not just my standards. If people don't troll you it's probably because you're already on their ignore list. If your aim really is to successfully contribute, then your approach to it is very much in your own way.

Then it'll be no surprise to you if the attitude is turned back on you, which you describe as being trolled.

Colleagues with 0 interest in socially acceptable behaviour don't last long, at least in the professional fields I'm familiar with.

Well, if you're not here to get along with anyone and believe everyone needs to repeatedly hear the brutal truth about their shortcomings from you, then from your perspective you're indeed right to double down.

While you might find ways of arguing that everything was justified, the result remains that you're currently the only one being labelled as passive-aggressive or whatever else by virtue of remarks like those above. In the first example, nothing stops you from simply pointing out that the tabulation is off and maybe some standard should be agreed upon by everyone, without invoking that it looks like the scripting was done while heavily drunk at a frat party etc. Nobody but you resorts to those kinds of comparisons.
There are people who have difficulties telling whether something they're going to say is appropriate, which is why I have understanding for situations like this and try to help you figure out why you're experiencing so much friction by pointing out concrete examples. I suppose most of those were written with an intent to be witty or convey a sense of urgency, but the actual effect tends to be demeaning and off-putting for those involved.

Just some examples to help you understand why you're experiencing pushback and building up that reputation, and sure not coming across as polite:
Quote"I mean you have heard of indentation, right? ...like properly nested indentation?"
"Look, if it's too much for you, I understand. You're not stupid or anything like that. On the contrary, I assumed you could do it because you were smart. ...but editing an engine is hard for most people - I get it. "
"You didn't "find" it. It's literally the first hit when you search for "export DDS"."
"I am Springheel, king of the forum, and I have the source files, and I know everything, and I can provide you with the perfect godly DDS."
"Instead of mere ghost stories to scare children with, can you tell me some examples of what to watch out for, as I continue to test the limitations of this editor?"
"I'm starting to doubt that any of you even have Dark Radiant installed on your computers at this point. ...or maybe this has turned into some sort of a joke at my expense - don't know, don't care. Fine: Don't send me files. Turns out I didn't need them anyway."
That's why I say it could be helpful to compare what kinds of remarks you make compared to most other people posting feedback. We're open to everyone, but social interactions work by similar rules everywhere.

The problem is that virtually all your critique is wrapped in insults and comes off as arrogant and rude. It's an approach that won't get you anywhere, neither in an online community nor in real life, regardless of what your skill level or the validity of your points may be.
If you have difficulties gauging the tone of your writing, you could look at examples of critique in the "Things that could be improved" or "Wishlist for DarkRadiant" threads or the bugtracker, where the majority of people manage to convey feedback constructively.
If on the other hand your aim is to get on as many ignore lists as possible... it's certainly working.
