      It's a mixed feeling as always :) Tyler, it's Not An Ordinary Guest. The more the merrier :) The time here is now 10:15...

      I would love to beta test it if you would like. I have never done it before but I guess I just look out for things wrong/right and comment on it?

      Thread created in the separate forum. Ask Springheel for access.

  2. Why do I allways go for the most intricate solutions...? Because to promote replayability!

      Do you refer to something specific?

    2. DeTeEff

      DeTeEff

      As a tester you'll probably find out first hand :)

  3. The wonderful feeling when the map refuses to start because it is stumped by things in the script that has been there THE WHOLE TIME without problems before!

      So I've got no idea why those trivial things messed with me...I could have spared me some anger if the game had just told me that something IN THE MAP was the cause...

      yep, been there, banged fists on table...

      I sometimes get paranoid that I have something off screen accidentally highlighted and inadvertently move or delete it. Is there a way to dump a log of all DR changes to find what's different? I guess another thing you could do is run the new & old .map files through a "find differences" text tool.

  4. Clusters of paths...

      There are clusters of path_nodes in my current mission...Over 50 placed AI...

      Things will get funny if you encounter any problems ;)

      I've planned quite well in advance and have charts on where they shall be placed :)

      I thought FS were part of collision model, not pathfinding? Did you convert it, Obs?

    4. Obsttorte

      Obsttorte

      Yep. The cm is also crated during dmapping.

  6. Didn't know that lights could be in the void without causing a leak...

    1. Obsttorte

      Obsttorte

      And as light shines through caulk, one could use this for some nice effects.

    2. DeTeEff

      DeTeEff

      I've put lights in the void before but then I automatically wrapped them with caulc walls to make a little house for the light, a light house :)

  7. Cannot see the distiller ingame...models/darkmod/laboratory/distiller.ase

      tech support section and a post to report bug so it is not missed/forgotten?

      +1 on what sotha said.

      For the record, I get voice actors from people doing vlogs on YouTube, so I know what I'm getting & they're already predisposed to participate.

      Excellent! I'll await all your contributions with overflowing enthusiasm! Heja Sverige!

  10. Nearly died for a moment. Uninstalled Steam to change the language of the interface. In hindsight I can see now that you may change it in the steam settings menu! Uninstallment process removed the steam folder along with Doom and my maps!!! Lucky me there is a fresh backup that's identical to my current work...!!!

      holy moly

      wonder what happens if one installed it under C:\Windows

      :-0

    3. Sotha

      Sotha

      bst, stupidity would get penalized ;-). More seriously: if the uninstaller gave a big warning, it wouldn't be that big a problem, I thinks. It is horrible if there is no warning and stuff gets deleted!

    4. DeTeEff

      DeTeEff

      There was no warning...interrestingly most games warn you about you're about to delete save games :)

  11. New computer! Silent as the lambs :)

      Your computer sounds like a horror movie about a serial killer?

      Haha, of course I know, it was intended as a pun. I wanted a computer that is silent and is quick as Hannibal :)

  12. Dumped...

    1. lost_soul

      lost_soul

      When I first saw that, software popped into my head... as in "core dumped" (aka program crashed) Then I realized... Welcome to the single world, my friend.

    2. nbohr1more

      nbohr1more

      Sorry to hear that... TDM widow?

    3. Sotha

      Sotha

      Ouch. But look at the bright side. This is most likely the most optimal time of year to be dumped. Lots of activities, lots of new more interesting people to meet... You'll be fine.

  13. New job! After the summer hollidays I don't have to commute 80 km one way any more :) about 2 hours a day to spend on something more useful...

      Unless your job is in the software industry, in which case the only way you see new chicks is by refreshing VoyeurWeb.

      You'll be fine. Just make sure no one mentions the Scottish play. What's it called? Oh yeah! Macbeth.

      @Bohr: It has been mapping on and on, just a neglect of the forums.

      @Diego: I've felt like I've abandoned the community.

      If it was for mapping we forgive your absence! :D

  17. Hit a moose...

      Yes, Lumpy's a bit grumpy now. I'm OK, it was a side hit, hampered the lamp shielding and side mirror. Don't know about moose though. Local hunter on the prowl.

  18. An idea flow into my head. Would it be possible/fun/somewhat realistic to be able to shoot a moss arrow onto an electrical light to create a lamp shade and thus cover the light?

      SeriousToni

      Isn't that what water arrows are for? ^^

    3. Sonosuke

      Sonosuke

      At first I thought this is a good idea but Siyah is right. Its not very realistic if AI does not see it and if they Alert... where is the use. Maybe if it is only temprary or a way to remove it after passing thru or something...

    4. DeTeEff

      DeTeEff

      Not that unrealistic that the guards interprets the sudden darkness as a power failure. The lamp doesn't need to be completely off eigther, just muffled. After a few seconds the moss catches fire and disappears. Just a weird thought :)

  19. When this much cursing has been yelled at the screem in vain and a baked graphics card, I will never leave this competition!
