I've put up a quick and dirty chat page here: http://www.usefulspace.net/noobprojectchat.html No passwords or anything, nickname and connect. Nothing fancy.

Just a thought - what are your locations and timezones? Could be handy to know if needing a reply or some advice in the middle of the night. I'm Melbourne, Australia. GMT+10

Canetoad here. Utter noob at mission building but can construct a good looking box in DR. My first Thief game, T3, came bundled with a graphics card six or seven years ago..... I've been thinking about a mission for the last couple of days and have jotted down a few notes which may or may not be practical. I'd like to make an outdoors/tiny village mission; five or six huts and a pagan-type setting. -Thief find himself in this village, needs to find a contact to help him on way -All but one of the huts are inhabited by the enemy (or builders) in disguise -From clues given, thief needs to work out who his contact is and/or disable the imposters -Thief can then leave village and proceed to next part of campaign, possibly freeing captive real villagers as bonus objective I figure this could slot into practically any storyline as a sort of bridging mission, ie getting from one scenario to another. I'd like to concentrate on clever clues and observation. Great to meet you guys. Neb - happy birthday, the day and your liver can only get better!

Thanks a lot Bikerdude. That will save a lot of time. PS If you're interested new machine is PhenomII x 6 and it flies! Keeping XP as I don't like Win7.

I'm setting up a new desktop machine. Do I need to go through downloading TDM again or, after installing Doom3, can I copy TDM folder to it's new location on the new machine? If so, anything I should be aware of? TIA

Thanks for that Neb. There was no specific mention of the full install so I copied it and all seems to be fine.

Needed to reload the computer this weekend. Previously I had Dark Mod working well and had acquired it by using the updater. I have downloaded the full Dark Mod using the torrent and have a 1.61gb folder ready for use. My main question is how to deploy TDM using the full download. -Do I just copy the files to the Doom 3 folder? -Are there any special instructions/requirements apart from Doom and the 1.3.1 patch? TIA for any comments or hints.
