To the forums, yes. To the internet, no.

That's the fallacy of equivocation. There are two different "off-topics" you are referring to. The first is off the topic of TDM, and the second is off the topic of the thread. The Greeks did this a lot, actually; it's really annoying. Edit: I don't mean to spoil people's fun; I just have fun spotting and pointing out fallacies.

I don't have internet access. Whenever I want to read the forums, I go to modetwo's servers and do my posting there. (Ya rly!)

That's one of the paradoxes that philosophers have been debating for hundreds of years now. Since this is the off topic forum, a thread that becomes off topic belongs here, because it is off topic. But if it belongs here, it can not be off topic, because it means that something is NOT on topic and thus it can not belong here.

Have we already posted at Doom3World on recruiting a sound fx creator? I saw a recent thread where somebody offered his help as sound creator, but I guess he's already taken. Or is the Doom3world community rather not our main target group?

We don't have a firm plan in mind, which is why I'm bringing it up again. From previous discussions it seemed like decals were probably the way to go, as they would adapt themselves to fit the world geometry, where meshes would not. But that's as far as we got. We have Mikebart's ivy texture: http://forums.thedarkmod.com/index.php?showt...=4817&st=25, so if you'd like to take a shot at putting an ivy effect together, feel free.

Hello Darkmod team, Recently I've visited a museum located in Bulgaria, called Etar, which consists, basically, of a represantation of the architecture and machinery of the 19th century, one to one. Here's a link to some pics I've taken there; they're of the houses and some of the machinery, which are all water-powered, mechanical, so It's pretty much the stuff we've seen in the Thief games. I'm not sure if they will be useful to you, but to me, some of them feature quite a Thiefesque athmosphere, so I figured, what the hell, let the Darkmodders decide. The pics are in a rar archive, 1280x1024. The archive itself is 13 megs or so of size, and is hosted by Sendspace. Sorry about the quality of some of them, but my camera is not too good these days.Hope they give you some nice ideas. And here's the link: http://www.sendspace.com/file/jh8qbh

Just read about komags attempted return to ttlg... I then put a post up in the general section http://www.ttlg.com/forums/showthread.php?t=112346 Lets see how long it stays up there for.. biker Update: I Pm'd some of the mod's and got this unexpected reply... I do realise the frustration some people feel over the Komag banning. And I also don't expect for a second that anyone believes me when I say I don't have a damned thing against him as a person and that he will probably always be one of the top five Saints of TTLG (if ever such a thing exists) due to his near single-handedly kicking the editing and fan mission community back to life and then doing far more than pretty much anyone else to keep it breathing until it was capable of standing up again. I think the above is never said because it honestly doesn't really need to be said. No one's under any illusions about his contributions to the Thief community, which is why the way everything ended was such a stupid and needless thing. But the tale of TTLG v. Komag is long, exceptionally Long, nobody wanted to ban him, and a lot of time and effort was spent trying to figure out a way to resolve things without it getting that far. In the end, however, the decision wasn't up to us. So we have what we have. Admins - Please lock this thread and remove all posts after this one, also change the title to just "Komag's ghost" (remove the ttlg admins are bitchy, as clearly some of them or not) please. I request this In the spirit of the ttlg admin who replied to my PM.

Heh, I guess that answers my question from the other thread. That sounds impressive. I'll try to check it out today!

Here is another show with a good discussion at the beginning about the Christian Dominion movement. These fuckers are scary, religious fundamentalists with a fascistic twist. http://www.archive.org/download/dn2007-021...0219-1_64kb.mp3 This is another good show, one of the only daily left/progressive newscasts I know of.

You'll need to download the actual mod, then install it and get a couple things set up with Dark Radiant, then you're in business. Download links and instructions are in the Beta Testing forums and on the wiki. I meant to have a good beginner setup tutorial ready, but it's not done yet, sorry.

From memory, I think he had a bunch of them and was giving them out. Who knows though, maybe he was paid at some point Haha... lost in the sands of time. That thing probably lasted only a few weeks before I lost it / forgot about it. But I quickly drew a picture. The question mark ? is because I forgot what was there, but I'm pretty sure it wasn't just a crucifix. Something a bit more complicated looking. If you were referring to me - I wouldn't say I fit into that category. I don't "pray" to this guiding force, or anything like that. I get on with my life in real terms. It's just more or less like what I was saying in that other thread - there's something I don't know, and leaving the question "what happens when you die?" to me is the same as assuming "nothing happens", because you're afraid of the nothing happening. So I just choose to beleive there is something. Cause I could be right. Nobody knows, so I may as well pick the more positive of the options. There's no harm in doing so.

Thanks I did make it rather fast, in under 2 days. I really want to get going if I can, all I really need are textures and a direction and I will get started as soon as possible. I'm very eager at the moment because I'm currently on my reading break and I have no mid-terms or final exams in sight. How will I know if I've been accepted and how soon? I'd like to begin even tonight if possible. I am assuming that this forums is where you get judged on whether or not you can help the mod, is this correct?

New Horizon, is the Wiki article concerning the Texture Guidelines still accurate or does it needs updating (regarding the revised Texture Guidelines sticky thread)?

For someone who spends way too much time on internet forums, your knowledge of the associated vocabulary is evidently quite lacking. The above describes you perfectly.

The number of postings is a pretty weak argument, since you can't really determine what has been done with it. And when you consider that only a very tiny part of it is posted in the public forums, the number on it's own has absolutely no meaning for team members.

Well while we're ranting... I went to a Catholic school when I was young, and it was run by nuns. By and by, it was alright, nothing bad happened really - it was just the stupid traditions that fuck with your head. Like, we were introduced to the rosemary beads, and you had to say one prayer for each of this bead, and on this day you say 2 for this other colour... etc. somthing really arbitraty and stupid. So of course, being a kid, you don't remember to do things consistently, so I was worrying about what effect that would have. And then, one day, some guy came in and talked to the class, and introduced us to this thing (that I can't remember what it's called) basically looked like 2 tags that you hung around your neck, so one tag is at the front and one tag is at the back. And the idea is, that if you happen to die while wearing it - you get straight to heaven, no matter what you did. So we all wore it for a while, and it was really uncomfortable cause it would slip backwards and strangle you all the time, and I couldn't shake the feeling of confusion, that if I could have put into words, would have sounded like "okay, the right way to do things was already decreed by god like, ages and ages ago in the bible - so how come we didn't know about this before? Why is it new? How can you have "new technological developments" in religion?" And then, I had to move to another state, so I just missed out on receiving my um... reconciliation I think its called - something you have to do when you're a teenager, involves talking to a priest or something. We were told that we had to have this done, because, when you're a kid, you commit all sorts of sins that you don't know you did, so you need to do this, or else, well we told "You don't have to have your reconciliation, but if you don't, you'll have all these sins there, soo..." we probably wouldn't go to heaven. So I spent a while worrying about that for a year or so untill I just found all the different ways to do the same thing really stupid and confusing and just naturally started to question the entire point of religion. And thus, without any discussion between us, me and my brothers eventually ditched the whole catholic thing, much to the initial shock of our parents when they found out. They thought they failed, etc. I can't imagine why anyone would stay so attached to religion after rubbish like that. This is just the natural conclusion.

I have been watching these forums and decided to start a fun poll. How stealthy are you?

With that firey discussion in the off-topic forums about hanging onto the T2 engine, I'm surprised there's a debate about this I went out and bought a cheap DX9 compatible card just to play T3, since it flatly refused to run on anything less. The release date of this game is only going to become later and later, not earlier, so our chances of people not caring that it won't work with DX8 is going to only become less as time goes on.

Ah I thought this thread would be about the new Indiana Jones movie, hehe Don't mind me. As you were.

What other issues were there? Nobody mentioned any in this thread. And how are models more versatile? It seems quite the opposite to me. You have to manually scale them, they won't show skins, they can't be semi-transparent, you can't add any special materials to them, etc..., all of which you can do to icons.

Yeah, I've asked about that eariler, Pink, and the consensus seems to be that it's possible. I'd like to do that (eventually) for things the AI will do a lot, like walking/running/searching, etc, so they don't all move exactly in sync. http://forums.thedarkmod.com/index.php?showtopic=5157
