Clearly it's a hallway, adjoining two different sections of the mansion Maybe outside the windows, at either side of the "hallway," there are guards walking around in a courtyard. I love big rooms like this with rope arrows. Maybe some of the beams could be made of wood and when you get high toward the ceiling it's really dark. As well, maybe we could place certain artifacts (jewelry, busts, masks, etc.) around the perimeter of the room. And maybe at the top of the fountain, a couple gold coins; that are only accessible if you lower yourself down a rope from the ceiling. And if you have to play Donkey Kong, Jr. to get to a rope in the center of the room because the ceiling is so high, then so be it. Again, I love high-ceilinged rooms for purposes of rope arrows. EDIT: Remember these are concepts. We "imagine" the possibilities; not stunt the creativity.

who here never cought itself analizing ways to break through some building, or looking for some wooden surface next to windows where you can put your rope arrow.... while going to the super market? entering somewhere and the first thing you look is for dark corners.. I felt so stupid! lol!

Thanks! We really put a lot of effort in this and it is nice to hear that you like it. Superior in what? Well there are a couple of reasons. 1. When we started the mod, HL2 was not released. Changing the engine would mean to give up a lot of progress for a hyped up game. And Doom 3 has many advantages. 2. Id is know for very good support to the mod community. Additionaly, Id makes a habit of releasing the sourceode fof their engines after some time under GPL. This has happened for Quake 1/2, Doom 1/2, and Quake 3 is under planning. I have no doubts that Doom 3 will follow after an appropriate time. 3. Steam. Personally I feel this bneing so offensive and an intrusion on customer rights that I will not buy the game despite awaiting it qute anxiously. There are many legal tricks in the EULA that doesn't constitute anything remotely what I consider as my right as a customer. Just an example. Valve reserves the rights to charge fees or changing the terms on short notice, without the customer having any saying. This means, if Valve decides to charge a fee and you want to continue play HL2 which you already paid for, you will have to pay again. 4. The lighting engine of Doom 3 is far superior then HL2 engine. The clever use of textures covers this mostly, but one shouldn't just look at the game's surface to decide which engine is best to use for a particular gaem. 5. Portabillity. Doom 3 runs on Windows and Linux (and I think there is also a Mac version). This means that I can play my favourite game (Thief) on Linux natively, without any crutches like Wine (not meaning that Wine is anything bad, as I'm also a one-time developer for Wine myself, just in the context of gaming it's a crutch). 6. Physics. Well. Everybody knows that HL2 uses Havoc which is an excellent physics engine. Still, I have seen physics demo from another mod which indicates that Doom 3 physics is much better, than the first impression will show. They implemented a gravitiy gun and from the demo I could see nothing wrong with it. Also Id released a gravity gun with their add-on. Also in Thief gameplay there is not THAT much need of perfect physics, and Doom 3 will do everything we need. Including rope arrows. I guess that are enough points for now. I think there are some more, but these are the major points for me, anyway. Especially Steam. This is not something that can be "allowed". It needs to be coded. And as it is right now, nobody is willing to do this. Especially since there is already a multiplayer thief game out there. Thievery.

hm ok. eventhough those windows look like that in RL

I don't know, BT, of your many cool-looking textures, this isn't my favourite. It doesn't have the cool 'glowy' effect your other windows seem to have. It almost looks more like a tapestry to me, with little brass bits.

THese are nice, but we need you to concentrate your efforts on making one really big mansion - one where a whole mission could be held on. I guess that kind of gets into the area of mission design as well though, placement of doors and windows, balconies etc, but you can do a basic mock up of the outside for now, maybe surrounded by grounds and a high wall, and we can add mission details and an interior design later. We'll lso need to get a basic story and objectives written for this mansion mission first.

very nice I'm already thinking about, which textures would fit into that hallway.....dave can you start on that ? Then you can tell me, what kind of textures are missing BTW I'll start a thread about windows in the Dev Chat, we have to discuss that !

You can build the windows, balcony, little bits of detail, railings, columns, doorways, arches, everything like this as little bits in Lightwave and then import it and assemble it with a mix of Radiant brushes for great effect. And this allows all the parts to be reused by other designers anyhow...static meshes, basically. Go nuts. We need pillars, columns, just little pieces of architectural detail really. Chimneys. Everything, just don't bother with the boring walls, floors or steps.

I've been a big Thief fan since the beginning, and I would love to assist Dark Mod in any capacity necessary. I don't actually have direct voice-acting experience, but I have been a vocalist and singer for a little over ten years. Most of what I've done has been in death metal bands; however, I'd love to provide some clean vocals for such a project, perhaps voices for Pagan-type characters. Even some dark, villain style stuff, raspy or beast-like voices, I can do. Ah heck, I would be happy to do some Stupid Guard stuff, too. I'm also an experienced Tribes 2 modder (nothing you would recognize, however, as I kept it mostly inhouse as educational stuff), Python programmer (intermediate), and creative writer. I'm also learning C and C++, though my strongest skills are in Python. And, just as an FYI, I'm a GNU/Linux system administrator with quite a bit of experience (my shell and Python scripts probably total in the 4000 lines area). Of course, that doesn't mean I don't do Windows. I understand some of the design process and I feel that I can contribute much to story development and immersion. At the very least, I would enjoy working as a play tester (or "quality assurance specialist" as it's called). I'm definitely looking forward to seeing more of what you all are working on. Dark Mod looks awesome so far. Thanks, Richard aka Draco p.s. Sheesh, this became an essay. To put it simply, I'll do just about anything in this project.

Ok here you are http://208.49.149.118/TheDarkMod/Textures/Texture_Overview/ don't wonder about some textures - I put some into another theme, for example the windows, cauze I think they fit better to the City-Theme. (of course they can be used for mansions as well). I'll change that later in the material-files and on CVS..... seems that I'm the texture manager now PS: I put a questionmark behind the mansion_door02, cauze I'm not sure if we should keep this texture. looks rather crappy IMHO

This is a first draft of the Ambient design document. Please come with suggestions on things to add/remove. Weather Rain Outside Inside (against windows) [*] Wind [*] Thunder The City People crowd Animals Dogs Cats Horses(?) Birds (crows/ravens/pigeons) [*] General city sounds (people working, distant machines/bells etc) [*] Ambient tunes (short musical loops which fits the category) The Mansion/Castle Alarms(?) Musicbox Classical music (gramophone) Clocks Ambient tunes The Factory Different machines Electricity sparkling Chains rattling Belching fire Ambient tunes The Church Bells Ambient tunes (Organs/Gregorian etc) The Scary Place Strange voices Loud bangings á la Cradle Buzzing flies Distant screams Ambient tunes Underground Water dripping Rats Bats Ambient tunes The Forest Trees/Leaves rustling Crickets Birds (sparrows/owls) Wolves(?) Ambient tunes The Ocean Waves Seagulls Creaking of ship rigging Ambient tunes

That would be cool, if you hung around till monring and light came flooding in through the windows and lot's of AI showed up going about their daily business. I'd love a mission like that.

It's not a banknote by chance? The best way is to delete the old harddisk and create a new partition from scratch. That's the fastest way. Of coure it depends on your system setup. If you have everything on a single partition C: then you are scrwed. Many non-developers partition their jarddrive this way, but this is the crappiest way to setup your system. So if you setup a complete new installation I suggest that you create bootpartition for your XP (mine is 4GB which is more then enough) and install all apps on another partition. This way you can easily recover after a system crash or when you need to setup your OS, which happens frequently with Windows. but to answer your question. Normally it should be possible to install over an existing system. But it could be that you have old files intermingled with new files which CAN cause problems.

No they just decided not to put the other RAM chip in. Turns out they didn't charge me for it either, but still, it's annoying. As it turns out I have to go back in anyway to replace this fan. It sounds almost like a small vacuum cleaner. It's ridiculous. Anyway, I've got most stuff working again, but I'm still having one problem. I have a new slave HD. It's detected properly by bios, and when I look in the Device manager, it is listed as working properly. But when I use windows explorer, it doesn't show up. It only lists: C: (master) D: (cd-rom) E: (dvd) F (SAYS it's a DVD, but I only have one) It also lists an A:, which I don't have anymore. Is there any special way to get explorer to see this HD? I don't understand why it would be in the device manager list but not here.

well we'd just have to import them in blender and then export them again. this way there wouldn't be any watermark of lightwave or something like that in the file. and BTW a few weeks ago there was a scandal, because someone found somekind of watermark of a crack of a sound-application in a windows-sound file - microsoft works with warez-software :lol:

You could, but you wouldn't have to. I don't think Thief windows have every had curtains, have they? Something we can think about including, maybe. Shutters might be good, as long as they didn't obscure the view too much. We'll have to see what looks good when we put it together. But first I'd need a fully-furnished mansion room.

Sweet. And with authentic windows, even! Hey. That raises a point I hadn't thought of till now. The Thief doesn't have a cloak?

I need a sound processing tool for windows which can convert the various formats and where I can cut sounds with. A free one would be nice. Can you recommend one? Thanks!

Anybody can recommend an ogg player for Windows? I would have to boot to linux and I don't want that right now.

The rest is a mish-mash of trying to get the alpha transparency to work properly. It's probably more complicated than needs be.

This is dying for the glowy yellow windows.

When you go to the FTP to either upload a new texture or grab an old one you'll notice that there are 2 new folders in place of the big list we had to weed through before. I did this because looking for Springheel's frame and BT's new floors was a pain in the butt with the current configuration. So now we have the Old Texture Archive, where all our old textures that were previously a part of the big list will go, and Dark_Mod, which is where all current textures that haven't been incorporated into the pack (and using the new naming scheme, hopefully) will be plopped. The new one is also gonna follow the same directory structure as the texture pack (it IS the texture pack, actually), so it'll be easier to organize and manage everything. They've both been organized into subcatagories, so if you're looking for an old window just check the windows directory in the old archive and so on and so on...feel free to add your own directories if you think the one you're uploading doesn't fit in any of the current catagories. And lastly, the texture pack reorg is almost done. I should have it up in the next couple of days. Just for a nice visual cue, and to open this up for comments, I'll post a pic right fast.. See anything wrong, tell me. The better it's laid out the smoother it'll go for us. Edit: BT, I added the textures you had in the mansions folder to the new WIP Texture directory..so if you wonder why your folder is gone it's cuz I put it in there. They've been renamed Mansion_Floor_Tile03 and Mansion_Wall_Trim04.

I've got a load of wood vaneers knocking about from various attempts at marquetry. Thought I'd scan them in. You can download my veneers pack, load some examples into windows paint or whatever your favourite image editor is and cut and paste to your hearts content (Get a grown up to help with the scissors, lol). Heres one I did earlier in about 94 seconds. enjoy

Sadly IrfanView is windows only. Shame that, because it rocks. It seems to work OK with WINE at a push. Of course The GIMP can resize images. You'll be wanting to bolt on a batch processing extension to save you from having to go through all the images by hand.
