  1. Is there something wrong with the forums lately, or is it my browser? I've been having trouble formatting posts, and just now I couldn't format anything at all.

    I'm using Vivaldi.

    Usually I have to: select text, click bold, nothing happens, select again, click bold, then it works. 

    Same for other stuff, like creating spoilers, bullet points, links. Nothing works the first time.

      I have no problem. I use Firefox. @Zerg Rush also uses Vivaldi. Have you tried without extensions, or in another browser?

      (btw. bold, italic and underline have shortcut keys: Ctrl B, Ctrl I and Ctrl U, you could try that)

       

  2. And what kind of computer is inside them, anyway? Is it some 8-bit thing, or something more advanced like an ARM architecture? The place I visited recently had an elevator with five full color LCD screens; one on every floor, and one in the elevator itself. I don't imagine an 8-bit computer driving them all at the same time... Note that it is presumably the computer's job to determine if the elevator is overloaded with too much weight, whether the doors are fully closed or not, etc.
  3. Since Aluminum directed me here ( https://forums.thedarkmod.com/index.php?/topic/9082-newbie-darkradiant-questions/page/437/#comment-475263 ) can we have unlimited renderer effects? Well, maybe not unlimited, by maybe 3-5? Thanks.

      Since I wasn't the one mainly asking, I'll just cite you in the original thread instead.

      There already is a kind of sorting, sort nearest, sort decal, sort <n>. For things like windows and such, sort nearest should probably have the desirable affect, though looking through multiple translucent shaders might kill performance.

      Is having multiple render effects really killing performance that badly? I don't understand. You're saying that if I have two transparent objects side-by-side, then they'll just count as two render effects, but when combined, they somehow become something much more difficult to render?

      Never-the-less, unless we're talking some kind of infinite portal problem, why not let the mapper choose how much he wants to kill performance? Just warn him against putting too many effects close together.

  4. I still play classic Doom (albeit with user-made mods and maps rather than the original campaign) on a regular basis. A game from the early 90's which has still got a healthy following in 2022. Pretty amazing.

      I think new levels are great! Some of the mods people have come up with are crazy, like whole new games for better or worse. Blood still getting content made for it is what I'm all about though.

    2. datiswous

      How does classic Doom compares to Quake 1 in your opinion? I haven't played Quake much personally.

    3. Xolvix

      Xolvix

      I like both equally well, especially since Quake also has a strong following and plenty of maps/mods. Doom focuses more on masses of enemies (easy to do since they're all sprites), Quake focuses more on intricate levels and navigation, since you can jump now and maps tend to take advantage of the improved movement. Quake's palette is a bit less colorful than Doom but it lends itself to a certain style of map a lot better, grittier and more morbid.

  5. I'm looking for some clarification on how well DarkRadiant supports mapping for Doom 3. I'm trying to open alphalabs1.map from pak000.pk4 and it doesn't seem to be reading it properly, there are some brushes sitting outside the map which don't appear when I open the map with D3Edit (see the attached picture). Unsurprisingly, if I then save the map and try to compile it with dmap in the console it gives me a leaked error. I have the game type set to Doom 3. I guess my question is: Is my DarkRadiant probably configured improperly, or should I not expect everything to go smoothly for these sorts of pathological cases (complicated map, made in a different editor, etc.)?
  6. Four years ago I was in the process of creating a PDF guide for DOOM 3 mapping using Darkradiant and it's been on my HDD ever since waiting to be finished. I've been updating it to the latest version of Darkradiant and I've noticed that the anim property for enemy entities has now been removed. How are enemy animations added for DOOM 3 maps in later versions of Darkradiant?
  7. Woo!! 2.10 Beta "Release Candidate" ( 210-07 ) is out:

    https://forums.thedarkmod.com/index.php?/topic/21198-beta-testing-210/

    It wont be long now :) ...

  8. After all the research I've done so far and comparisons, including reading the history of the development of TDM. It seems TDM would be the best engine possible for DOOM 3. Any thoughts, or avenues to pursue on this from anyone constructive would be much appreciated.
  9. I don't think there's a link to thedarkmod.com on forums.thedarkmod.com ...

    1. datiswous

      datiswous

      Yeah and the wiki and moddb. It should have those links in the footer I think. Probably easy to add by an admin.

      Edit: And a link to the bugtracker. I'm always searching for a post in the forum that links to that because I can't remember the url.

      I drew attention to this several times in the last few years. No one payed it any attention, so I just gave up.

      Reluctance to improve the forums is matched by reluctance to allow more people to work on it. Talk about trust and power.

  10. The Doom series went from action in 1 and 2 (along with Doom 64 and Doom RPG) to horror in Doom 3 and back to action in Doom 2016 and Doom Eternal. Now, I absolutely loved the epic saga of the Doom Marine in 1 and 2 turning into the legendary hero in Doom 2016 and Eternal, but as a fan of Doom 3's horror, I feel bad that the horror reboot was un-rebooted. Would you guys like it if in the future, a sequel to Doom 3 was made? I know that The Dark Mod started out as a Doom 3 mod.
  11. Years ago, to try and do a little Moddb participation project, I wrote a little blog piece about my take on the whole Doom 3 mod scene. At the time, I was roughly trying to parse out the factions within that community and my general feelings towards both the original game and the mods affect on it. Results, pretty much an awkward Myspace post about Doom 3: http://www.moddb.com/members/nbohr1more/blogs/reasons-to-own-doom-iii Oh well, hindsight is 20/20 eh? The general premise still stands though. Doom 3 is a game that uncomfortably straddles between a mindless shooter and a survival horror title. It's interesting to consider that Doom 3's cerebral attributes seem to be inherited from System Shock which heavily influenced it's design whereas I can now confidently say that Doom 2016 is a byproduct of Doom 3, Brutal Doom, and HL2 \ Black Mesa (with the latter being a particularly strong influence). While there are some flashes of brilliance in the early levels of the game, the true glories of the Doom 3 experience are in the Hell levels where the organic environments and intense demon fighting action take center stage compared to the claustrophobic jump-scare maze of offices in the research facilities. Still, there is SOMETHING there in that early gameplay that feels like it had the potential to be far more interesting than the version that shipped. I think that is why so many mods have tried to tinker with ammo amounts, difficulty, AI accuracy, etc to refine what was good about these areas. Alas, most of these endeavors have failed. Up 'till this point, Dentonmod was really my go-to gameplay modifier. I mostly used it for the included gore and weapon physics. It was more satisfying to watch my weapons display more powerful damage effects even if they didn't inherently change any of the difficulty behaviors. (I keep putting it on the back-burner but I have planned to fiddle with Flaming Sheep's Classic Doom 3 and Denton mod to make a combined mod so that all the functionality from both remains intact.) (Action Side) So, one evening, when scanning the Doom 3 mod section I came across the DoomReborn mod which I had seen a few times before and decided to finally give it a try. Up to this point, I had avoided it because it looked pretty garish and I thought that Classic Doom 3 had already accomplished this feat much more appropriately with better level design. I was surprised to find a completely different experience that was really a thrilling throw-back to the original Doom 3 feel. DoomReborn may not look so great in screen-shot form, but when played it's dimensions, player speed, and color scheme all subliminally link you back to the original Doom game and it makes you feel more like you are playing the most advanced Doom 1 graphics mod rather than a Doom 3 modded to play Doom 1 levels. I think it's a shame that the two projects were developed independently. Classic Doom 3's smaller, more closed-in, levels and slower pacing feel somewhat limp compared to the bombast of DoomReborn's sprawling 1000mph blast fests. So, I'll give a resounding "recommended" to DoomReborn if you are a fan of the arcade style action of the original Doom games: http://www.moddb.com/mods/doomreborn (Survival Horror Side) After that, and tinkering with a few other Doom 3 mods that mostly were variants of Sikkmod with Wulfen textures, I decided to check out one mod that was constantly mentioned in Steam forums. Strelok's D3 Enhancements. http://www.moddb.com/mods/streloks-d3-enhancement-mod I was absolutely floored! Stelok has done something quite special here. He's finally made the base Doom 3 game live up to it's survival horror leanings. Enemies no longer awkwardly lurch towards you as you fire ineffectual rounds at them. Now they rush at you in a way that recalls the menace of contemporary Zombie films. The whole feel of navigating the early missions is completely nail-biting. Also, weapon reloading is a manual affair. Once you run out of ammo, the game no longer wrests controls from the player and auto-reloads but instead leaves you firing empty clicks. You must take the initiative to reload. Another nice survival horror touch! The only down-side, I've encountered thus far are the Imp's. They are also sped-up and more aggressive to the point that it is very difficult to survive an encounter with more than two at once. With Doom 2016 out, this mod makes the virtues of Doom 3's design stand much further in contrast. If Doom 3 had launched like this, surely it would've been considered to be in the company of classic survival horror titles like the Resident Evil series. (Footnote) I have yet to revisit everyone's standard Doom 3 mod, Perfected Doom 3. The last time I tried this it was a horrible mess with inappropriate self-shadowing and strange "sharpened" textures with halo\emboss artifacts at the shading boundaries. (And it performed like a dog.). It looks like V-games may have made some significant improvements since I last looked into this, so I look forward to seeing the progress.
  12. Hello everybody, I'm Sprony and I'm new here. I used to be very active in mapping communities (under the nickname Infernis) but I've been out of the game for a long time. Recently I ran into an old acquittance on Twitter from Doom3world and that made me nostalgic about the good old days. I have to say that I'm impressed with how far The Dark Mod has come. Thief has never been my sort of game, but I respect what you accomplished here. As you all will certainly know, practically all Doom 3 editing communities are dead. I've found one that's still up, but it lacks activity. I've also found a Discord channel with some active users, but not much else. Point is, I'm itching to make something for Doom 3 again, but that will be difficult if there's no one around to bother with questions if you can't find the answer or figure it out yourself. So I wonder if an aspiring Doom 3 mapper is welcome here and if so, what's the appropriate forum to ask question about mapping or modding for Doom 3 specifically? I already have DarkRadiant installed and setup for Doom 3 (seeing as how the in-game editor doesn't like Windows 10 much).
  13. First sorry if there's already a thread for this mod, but my search didn't found a dedicated thread for it, if there is, be free to delete this. I don't know how many here know about this Doom 3 Mod, perhaps all and I'm wasting my time but my search found, imo, so few mentions of it that I decided to make a thread to spread awareness. IMO, next to obviously TDM (even though TDM is not a Doom 3 mod anymore), Phobos is one of the best Doom 3 mods in existence. They released Episode 1 some time ago and it was to me a fantastic surprise, now they released Episode 2 and imo they outdid themselves the new Episode, like the first, has some of the best level design I saw for Doom 3, some even better than official Doom 3 game and expansions and this one is also longer than first episode. Any Doom 3 and idtech 4 fan should play this mod and even if you don't like the former but you like the works of Frictional Games or DONTNOD, imo you will be surprised with this mod. Btw for thief and TDM fans this mod is nothing like it, is not a stealth game, is a action game but also with a strong emphasis on story. This mod REQUIRES the original Doom 3 and Resurrection of Evil expansion, it doesn't work with Doom 3 BFG. They are also working on the third and I think final Episode and like is usual to say, personally I just can't wait for it. Doom 3: Phobos

  15. Not so long ago I found what could make a pretty good profile picture and decided to try it out on these new forums. But I couldn't find a button anywhere that would let me change it. I asked on Discord and it seems Spooks also couldn't find anything anywhere. So I logged into an old alternative account and, lo and behold, that account has a button. This is on the first screen I get when I: 1) click on my account name in the top-right of the browser -> 2) click on 'profile'. Compared to my actual account: Are you also missing this button on your account? It'd be very much appreciated if that functionality could be restored to any of the affected accounts.
  16. Hi, I need to know what the code is to use Spoiler Tags. I am using my tablet and I don't have the options to use anything, like spoiler tags, quote tags, text changes etc. Thanks
  17. Still spreading the word about TDM on forums to new peops... Funny to see people say "Awesome, I loved playing Thief back in the day!"

      Yes it was in a discussion where someone was saying how unhappy they are with the way game companies grant themselves permission to do whatever they like to your PC and personal info today. I pointed out that giving up games completely is an unnecessarily overkill solution when there are free games like TDM to play.

  18. i wish now can write the health of monsters when hited may be can use with scriptEvent entity getAttacker() ? using threads may be? but in my doubt in entityDef can be write the params in runtime? example is "inv_name" "Hited! cb_demon health is monster_boss_cyber_demon_1.getHealth()" or any idea how can i write on the screen the message? thanks
  19. I,m trying getHealth () from enemy with script but without sucess. If possible help me t = sys.getTime(); sys.print(t); if (t > 5) { //Code for spawn enemies Wherever you wish on the map float killed = 0.0; sys.wait(1.8); entity new_monster = sys.spawn("monster_zombie_fat"); // example monster_zombie_fat or any class enemy name new_monster.setKey("name", "monster_zombie_fat_3"); new_monster.setOrigin('-136 -120 11'); if ($monster_zombie_fat_3.getHealth( ) < 1){ // Not Working cant get value of health killed += 1; string myStr = new_monster.getKey("name"); // Retrieve the value of the "name" spawnarg of the player entity myStr = "The name of zombie_fat is " + myStr + "killed = " + killed + "\n"; sys.println(myStr); // Print the text to the console } }
  20. I just made a test with script here from darkmod but i put $player1 and not work after $info_player_start_1 and nothing. If possible help me. please. Create the script file If your map is called for example maps/mydir/mymap.map, you must create a text file maps/mydir/mymap.script. The contents The map script needs to contain a main function. This function is called at the very start of your map, e.g. when the map is loaded for the first time. So if you want something to happen later, you need to pause the script and then do something. Here is an example:
  21. I just spawned the entity class zombie but can work for entity func_fx how is possible by script? thanks
