    You can make space stations and modern day street scenes for all we can do to stop you. :lol:

    Heh. Time traveling thief. Could be fun. Water arrows versus laser pistols. Hm, one could create a good parody game with this element: fantasy cliche's and scifi mixed together to get one psychedelic environmet. Terry Pratchett feat. Douglas Adams.

    I mean, he's just teasing people (I think) for his own fun. :) It's good to put people on their tows.

    Oh and, if there're any beasts in your mod, I think a weapon of any sort would be highly appropriate to wield. I know I would even if it was just my Not So Witty Tongue... Ooh well, look at the time! Gotta go to sleep.

    You guys should totally add the Sword Gattsu uses in this anime 'Berserk'.

     

    I wonder if your thief can bypass a doorway with that...

    (Great anime btw.)

     

    Edit: added a better picture :) oh, and can't bother to start a new topic: can we get a direct link to these forums? It always throws me in to the Dark Mod page when refreshed. Pretty Please~~!

    Ha! We'll kick your ass in the only game that counts.. HOCKEY! :D

    I couldn't give a damn about hockey. ;) I haven't never really been keen on any sports. Yes, call me a nerd. I've no life. :o

    Maybe that's why I'm writing on these forums. ;)

  16. Chronicles Of Riddick

    in Off-Topic

    Posted

    I heard you guys saying that Riddick had an awesome hand-to-hand combat system. Can anyone elaborate on that?

    Yes. You can throw punches from different sides and do a counter-attack, which usually leads to death of your enemy :)

     

    I just recently (not a week ago) played the game through. Here're some of my thoughts:

     

    What I didn't like about it was the feeling of me running in a tube. The levels were too narrow and pretty straight forward. You never really got any choices to make, saying which road to go. And in a sneaking game that's pretty much the worst thing you can do IMO.

     

    I did like the whole Riddick character. Anti-heros are always my thing. :) And yes, Vin Deasel do rock your socks, and so does the other voice actors. Also liked the 'preying mode'. Kinda succesfull. The HUD is pretty much perfect: when you're just running along without no combat or anything, there's nothing disturping you on the screen. Very well done. (Take a hint Dark Mod team. ;) Oh, and when you were hanging on a rail and moving sides-to-sides the view throwed you in the 3rd person mode. Otherwise it's always 1st person. This system could allow you guys to make the Dark Mod game environment even more usefull, like I've stated in my previous topic -> http://forums.thedarkmod.com/index.php?showtopic=679 This way it wouldn't look bad to make the thief more acrobatic. The drawback is of course can the thief fans take it.

     

    Overall it was worth the 36 euros I payed for it, but it could have been A LOT better.

  18. Garret's Style Of Kung Fu

    in Off-Topic

    Posted

    Wow, I always laughed at others who misspelled 'Garrett,' but now it seems I've committed that crime myself. Everyone was too polite to point it out I guess. :)

    Hehe. I made the same mistake with my first post too ;)

    Oo yeah, nice kung fu styles. Mine is the best though.

  22. Prince Of Persia Meets Garreth

    in The Dark Mod

    I don't understan what you mean by that.

    Well, insteand of pulling yourself up from a edge, like you're forced to do in Thief games, you could jump off to whatever direction allows. I mean, if you can't pull yourself up to the platform because it's too narrow to walk, you can always jump off to a different place to see if there happens to be another path. Am I getting in your head at all? :)

     

    But yes, like said, it would look kinda silly in 1st person if not done well. And no, I don't know how to do it well.

  23. Prince Of Persia Meets Garreth

    in The Dark Mod

    Posted

    Yeah. Lara-Croft style.

     

    Difficult to do in 1st person, and it's not on our list of priorities. But if more people want to see an acrobatic Thief, then I promise we'll consider more movements like this.

    Heh, I was kind of waiting Lara Croft refenses and that's not what I really had in mind. Just thinking what would be really thiefsie things to do.

  24. Prince Of Persia Meets Garreth

    in The Dark Mod

    Posted · Edited by Hippo

    To starters, has anyone played the new Prince of Persia games, The Sands of Time and/or Warrior Within?

    If so, this will be a lot easier to understand ;) And I know you're not going to use

    any Garreth or Thief Universe material in your mod, but I needed to name my

    character ;).

     

    Okay, our Prince is very capable in acrobatics and know some nifty moves that could sure do a lot for Garreth.

     

    An example:

    Garreth can grab himself up from a edge. Prince can do that too, but he's far more efficient in it. Instead of pulling himself up from a edge, he can also keep hang on it. Lets say that the edge is too thin to climb up but you can still move sidesways on it still hanging on. Could be usefull to go places. From that "hanging position" Prince can also jumb off in an opposite direction, which is kinda usefull if there happens to be an another edge to climb to, or a platform.

     

    I'm also thinking about "a Tarzan move" (for a lack of word). You have a rope arrow. You can shoot it. You can grab your hands on it and climb up. What you can't do is swing yourself around and let go. WHEE! OOliooliolooo *Tarzan sound* Er, yeah. Cool? Well, those of you who has played the new Prince of Persia games knows.

     

    These moves could really bring some freedom to a level. Which way to break in, avoid unnecessary contact with enemy etc. After all our Garreth IS a master thief and he should have enough dexterity to do these moves.

     

    Of course this requiers to work smooth in a first person mode (because I'm assuming that there will not be a third person mode, and god help me, if there will be). We don't want any Tomb Raiders or Splinter Cells running wild. ;)

     

    Prince can also do wallrunning, rolls, backflips and blah blah blah, but those kind of moves really doesn't belong to the thief universe. But I really think that the "edge hanging" and jumping off one could really bring something to this game. Heck, we all want some freedom to do things :)

     

    And it has just occured to me that can you even do these things with the Doom3 SDK? Oh god, I hope so. Otherwise I've done useless typing.

     

    Sorry for typos and grammatic errors. Engrish... er, English isn't really my best of skills. ;)
