Let the application process begin.

Sorry for not using email, but mine is glitching out and refuses to send messages >_> Is it still possible to apply as a beta mapper? I have a decent amount of experiance in dromed, and am very much interested in trying out The Dark Mod.

Composer to composer forum @ finalemusic: http://acf.finalemusic.com/ This fairly new & isn't very busy at all. http://www.music-web.org/forum/index.php Better organized & a lot busier. So this would be a great place to introduce ourselves It has music theory, composition showcase, music encyclopedia, & more.

So, what's up with these uninformed noodleheads popping up at ttlg? Actually it seems to be a general trend at any forum. TDS vs. TDM debates seem to irritate the mods: http://www.ttlg.com/forums/showthread.php?t=109487 This one was closed by David which was a shame because I was actually enjoying it So I'll start yet another thread about misinformation about the dark mod & thief:deadly shadows Some people were vehemently disagreeing about something or other (the playershadow in d3 for example). The argument consisted of being able to turn the player shadow on. One guy says he never saw it after playing the game three times. Who would want to play d3 three times? Replayability seems nonexistant especially when things started to get predictable very quickly . . . Anyway, just playing the game 3 times doesn't make an expert on the game. I think people need to play it & poke around with config files or mod it in order to make the person more educated. Even then it doesn't make a person an expert. Another thing that came up in that thread is the animations of TDS vs. the classics. I think I was the only person who made/tweaked any new animations since the editor came out for TDS. I have an up close & personal experience with TDS animations & even though they used motion capture that doesn't mean they used it well. TDS animations, to me, seemed like a wheel with a buldge. They were not smoothed out & that shows up in the player animations. str8g8 would probably be the expert on T1 & T2 animations but they seemed very smooth compared to TDS. There shouldn't have been a comparison. Art direction was another thing. TDS just isn't as immersive as the first two. I'll leave that idea there since I probably posted a million pet peaves about this elsewhere. Technology issues. D3 is moddable. TDS wasn't designed with moddability in mind. I was too frustrated with TDS modding in order to continue modding for it. That's why I joined the dark mod

Sure, that sounds fine by me. Are the files on the FTP? And what are the names of them? Also do they have an origin bone so that we can set movement speed based on the animation itself? Thought I would post this publically so that we can get feedback from the other animators. Ascottk in particular has done a lot of work with the D3 skeletons and may be able to help. I've asked Solis to handle adding some walk animations to the D3 monsters we're using in TDM. With some of them, a slower version of the run animation might work, but in others it probably wouldn't. One question that Ascottk might be able to answer: I notice that both the zombie_boney and zombie_morgue have the zombie_base model 'inside' them. Does that mean they use the same skeleton? If so, would it be possible to take the animation from other characters using that skeleton and just apply them to those particular models, the way you did applied the citwatch animations to the thief?

I would like to welcome my friend, beyondGAMER (Phil), to our humble forums. He is a man of many talents, but I'll step aside and let him introduce himself and have a general word about what he would like to offer the mod. This is a brief sampling of some of his older work, but he hopes to have new examples for us in the next week or so. Here is a video sample of some walk/ run cycle animation he did for a Half Life mod a couple of years ago. The frame rate has been slowed down. http://www.philmacnevin.com/Invisible%20Ma...alk%20Cycle.mov

Hey RandomRansom, here's your application thread. Lets all have a chat and see what you might have to show/ offer.

I would like to help anyway I can, but after seeing some of the pro stuff going on around here, I'm not sure wether I'm any good. I'd still like to help anyways. I've been interested in this mod since I first heard about it. I have some experience with; Maya, 3DStudioMax, Wings3D, UVMapper Pro, Radiant (Most variations), Image editing software (Photoshop etc.), coding (C++, C#, Java, VB) I recently graduated with a 3 year diploma in programming and system design. Some of the stuff I've made is pretty amateurish though: http://www.lancersreactor.com/t/news/TLR_C...gory=Freelancer A randomizer for commodity location and price, ship location and price http://www.lancersreactor.com/t/download/d...oad.asp?id=1771 A ship I made for Freelancer (Modeled in 3DStudioMax, textured with photoshop, uvmapped with UVMapper Pro) I already applied for something, anything with this mod team. Some screens of something I threw together for this mod over the last 4 weeks. (I made all the textures in the screens)

Guys i don´t know if you remember me i´m the one that gave a bunch of models in this thread models, i have know time to work in a mod and the one that i loved to work is this one, my modeling skills have improved since i gave that pack to you guys but if you want to give me some sample work just to test my skills you can, i´m not a realy good organic modeler and my texturing skills are a litle green but i will try to do my best to please you guys. I already worked with normalmaping so i will be able to do them. So shout if you need something. Hilário Martins Sample of some non gaming work: Room_GI_lighting_test Render_bike_wheels Scene_render

Hey guys, here are a couple of screen shots for Venus. Venus would like to apply for the position of Beta Mapper. He also passed along a couple of Quake 3 maps to try out. The shots here are quake 3.

cool i knew brown barn spiders are worth something.

Hey guys, is it okay to start my own thread in here? Just thought I'd give you a few general images of stuff I've been working on rather than just showing you areas I'm having troubles with There's still lots to do before I'd consider these representative of final architecture but feedback welcome Mike

Had to say this here to get it off my chest. I was just reading another thread today that someone posted about Komag's ban. I hadn't realized that this was a permanent ban. Sorry TTLG, but that is just completely over the top. A PERMANENT ban? Jesus Christ, for what? Advertising that he had a few games for sale on Ebay? Hardly worthy of a permanent ban. I don't care how many warnings were issued...it's simply not that huge a crime. Whose feelings were hurt here? Was somebody offended? Nobody was being taken advantage of, they either chose to bid on the games or not. There are far worse things going on in that Forum than someone calmly posting that they have games for sale. You come into TTLG and expect that you're amongst friends. You could use the argument that it would be the equivalent of setting up a yardsale on your neighbors lawn...yeah, that could be rationalized as an argument, but it's not the same. This is the internet. When you see this type of 'you are trying to get into my pocket book' type of thinking on a global scale, you notice how some guys are getting longer jail sentences than somebody who killed someone. Do we place THAT much importance on our money? I really don't see the punishment fitting the crime on this one. Even if you did react and talk back to them Komag, it doesn't warrant a lifetime ban. There are some real assholes floating around TTLG, making the place completely unpleasant and yet they walk around completely free. Oh, they might get a little tap on the hand once in awhile, but nothing permanent. Anyway, that's the view from here.

Dram said in the "Necromancer's Tower thread : Done and done. And I really don't think I'll disappear as at the moment I don't actually play any games. All I do is the net and mapping. Bored of games at the moment. Mapping's really quite addictive. With models and all improvement'll happen easily. Are your tools really different? A whole new app? Is it more suited to TDM presumably (Light options, particles etc?) Re: Globes: I tried it. It looked worse. With an editor that doesn't crash when I ask for particles I'd fill 'em with some kind of spark thing. Unfortunately D3ed doesn't like particles, at least on my PC. Edit: Sorry for confusion. There were only speech marks to show the quote.

That's not a bad idea either. It was something I suggested AscottK could do, but he's going to work on some other stuff first. It would be nice to get the current guard animations applied to both the regular city watch and elite guard models (and even the houseguard if we can get that rigged). Domarius, what files would Solis need to do this? Solis, which would you rather start with? Porting animations from one character to another, or creating the throwing animation for the Builder Guard?

Hi, some of you probably seen some of my work on ttlg. Anyway, I'm getting frustrated with t3's limitations and I've been doing homework on Doom 3 editing. Here's some examples of what I've been up to: Textures I've done as a "Flesh Eater", a t3ed community project "The Cabal" campaign: A tweaked Garrett model I managed to convert to 3ds max then back again (tweaked mesh, new textures, physiqued): And new textures for T3 for a mod I was working on, but probably never finished due to t3's limitations and lack of documentation: I like to do a lot of tweaking. I managed to convert t3's animations and skeletal meshes so I can edit them in 3ds max. I fixed rope arrow creation (it's still not working very well, it TDS for crying out loud!). I'm also the creator of "GarrAT: Animations Tweak for TDS": http://www.ttlg.com/forums/showthread.php?t=105502 I created a tds fm called "Krellek's Labyrinth": http://www.ttlg.com/forums/showthread.php?t=100987 As for 3ds max (I know some of you think the program's evil) but I found some import/export plugins for the md5 format. I'm getting the hang of character rigging, animation, uvw unwrapping, and I'm well versed on the texture-side of things (t3's specular implementation is an extreme PITA). I wrote a few tutorials for t3ed: http://ttlg.com/wiki/index.php?title=Displ...nscious_or_Dead http://ttlg.com/wiki/index.php?title=Underwater_Vision http://ttlg.com/wiki/index.php?title=Pagan_WilloWisps http://ttlg.com/wiki/index.php?title=Conve...tions_to_3DSMax And a normal mapping tutorial (an old method I don't use any more): http://www.potterdevelopments.org.uk/fm/tu...MapTutorial.zip I'm also a composer/sound designer/editor but I know you're totally full in that department. I may do a little more with t3 but I'm often getting frustrated with its limitations, but I'd like to help the Dark Mod.

We have started converting the main screens to high-res. We'll post progress of the concepts here. You can see a few of the current ones here: - Noblewoman - Haunt

*sticky this plz* Share your ideas and plans for your campaign here. I plan to make a sort of Hammer style keeper thing. somthing crazy. with amazing detail. like a 6 mission campaign. but i dont have the time to work on it all by my self so ill have to join a team of thief fans and start out on a campaign. i hope to have the tool set soon. What are the beta mappers working on. just using the tool set as it is now or are they testing stuff out but also building campaigns so that we have some thing to play while we wait for more?

After some fund raising we were able to get a IPB perpetual license which makes us able to upgrade from an unsecure 1.3.x board to a fully updated 2.0.4 board. Feel free to poke around and look at the new features etc. The skin is reset to the default IPB one, because the old one won't work on this version. We'll get working on it ASAP. Happy posting!

I'm sorry this took so long, but I've just restored the forums from a backup I took on saturday. The forums were 'hacked' by a script-kiddie yesterday. I saw in the admin logs that he logged in with one of the admin accounts (probably after 'guessing' the password with some brute force script). He then edited all of the admin accounts and removed their access to the admin control panel (acp). Then he edited the forum description and wrote a text saying we would get acp access back for the total amount of $100. Right. Anyway, since I had to restore a backup of the database, some posts/threads/PM's and new users were wiped, but I couldn't do anything with that. I don't think this guy did anything other than removing the admin powers and editing the forum description when he was in the acp (all operations in the acp is logged), and he had no access to download the database. But just in case I urge you to change your password on this forum, and other sites where you've got the same account name and password. It's better to be safe than sorry. All admins are instructed to change their passwords to a hard-to-guess one. The password should; not contain any words found in a dictionary contain atleast 8 characters or more consist of characters, numbers and signs in a good mix consist of both lower- and uppercase characters/signs Also, always LOG OUT after you're done in the admin cp, and don't click on links in threads when logged into the admin cp. If an intruder fetches your cookie, he can access the admin cp. All admins have lost their acp access. They will get it back once they have changed their password. Please PM Fingernail when you have changed your password. Also, the acp is .htaccess protected with a username/password, and I've given the login info to Fingernail.

Just heard back from Mike.
