I moved all the city-environment concepts into a single thread for easier accessibility, they seemed to be a bit scattered throughout the forums. I've also added another house concept and a possible guard house. Suggestions are welcome. Environment Concepts Individual Buildings 3-Story Home Backview 2-Story Home with large attic space. Guard House

http://forums.thedarkmod.com/index.php?showtopic=4751

These are some great concepts , id realy like to model a construction set of this style of building for the mappers to use, Im still looking through the design forums, (what an amazing amount of info! ) so im still getting to grips with exactly where your at.

Yeah, the problem is that the normal map isn't the right size. I have no idea why. I was trying to resize it manually but that doesn't appear to be working. Here's where I first asked Odd about it: http://forums.thedarkmod.com/index.php?showt...9&hl=spider

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

To start with I've looked through some new threads and I saw that you guys still seem to get low amount of feedback from users wanting to help and what not. Mostly texture and such. I came to think about Moddb and that you guys have a profile over there. I know that there ain't much more you guys can do on Moddb if you don't have anything to update with. I checked out your Moddb profile and as I see on it, it gives the feeling of "zombie mode", I mean. Dead but still not dead. I think a rehash of the whole profile, help wanted and news would be nice. Last update was a month ago but I don't see much difference. Maybe a news update that sums up everything that has happened officially so far would be good, explaining the whole situation so people might get interest to join your cause. But then Moddb wasn't the only reason why I decided to make a post on the forums. It seems not too long ago the people behind Moddb decided to launch Addondb, a similar site to Moddb but focused on content brought by mappers and such. Making it possible to exhibit your own maps, custom models etc. Wouldn't this be a good way of giving The Dark Mod more publicity? What I've noticed a bunch of people has already got their hands on beta mapping kits for TDM and some are trying to get it as well. Why not inspire these people to showcase their maps on addondb, adding to the possibility that more will open their eyes to TDM? The only thing I'm not sure of is that if you must upload a map to showcase it at all, but I really doubt that. It's just a thought I had and it doesn't seem that much of a bad idea. Keep up the good work people.

Moddb is annoying to update. All I do there is post a new picture once in a while so casual viewers can see that we're still around. Anyone who is seriously interested in the mod would be checking the website, which is updated every month or so, or the forums.

There is this tutorial in the Documentation Forum. It's on DarkWiki as well (Creating multiple skins for a model), but as long as the Wiki database isn't replaced, you can find it here: http://forums.thedarkmod.com/index.php?showtopic=3098

Post about elite city pauldrons looking like wings. I thought I fixed that? http://forums.thedarkmod.com/index.php?s=&am...ost&p=88413 The walking/running anims probably need leftpad/rightpad rotations fixed.

Add missing meshes to thief & find missing textures. http://forums.thedarkmod.com/index.php?s=&am...ost&p=88387 Arm rigs look funky.

Thanks for this, Spring The thief doesn't seem to have his own leg texture as well. Either I didn't find one or one didn't exist. So I borrowed the elite citywatch texture. I added this to my AI thread with some possible ideas to fix them: http://forums.thedarkmod.com/index.php?s=&am...ost&p=88342

Pay attention to this thread: http://forums.thedarkmod.com/index.php?showtopic=4729 Ideas on how to fix builder guard: Experiment with constraints in Maya. The sword bone should move with spine2 since the upper armor is rigged to that. Where the armor goes then the sword joint should move with that. Try going 50/50 with the forearm & hand. 10-30-06: 50/50 results in having the hand stick out of the armor. Check normals on the mesh. 10-30-06: It looks like it's animation related. The upper armor might rigged to the leftpad joint. If not, check the mesh. 10-30-06: The left pauldron was partially rigged the the left shoulder instead of the leftpad. The weighting should match throughout the layers. 10-30-06: There was leg mesh sticking out the back. Thief Check joint rotation. Since they are sharing animations, check the animations for weird joint rotation. It's the idle animation with the weird rotation. Some of the AIs (citywatch(es)) have a strange tilt on the feet (looks like they're standing on their toes). This might be mesh related. If not, check foot joint rotation. Check mesh rotation for the thief. He might actually be leaning backwards. We might have to raid the md5mesh of the player & resize it appropriately.

Hi there! Great to see you stop by. I'll set you up with contributor status, so you can see the inner contributor forums. Thanks for helping out, we really appreciate your time.

No kidding I was reading about this on ttlg: http://www.ttlg.com/forums/showthread.php?t=109239

Exactly. The levelling system is the single most stupid decision in the elder scrolls games. And, most everyone on their own forums bemoans it, too. Tons of mods attempt to fix it. But will they do it yet again in Elder Scrolls V? You can probably bet on it. Most places should be off-limits to n00bs. You should have to work up to it, otherwise where is the challenge and reward? Where is the sense of "wow, he kicked my ass... but I'll be back later and he'll be sorry!", or "I can't wait to see what's in that mountain"? It's all about stupid "open endedness" (lame wording for chaotic haphazard design) and reaching broad audiences with "let me have it NOW!" gameplay. The fact that you can go into an Oblivion gate and actually face similar level things and get out alive, as a first level character, is so moronic that it should automatically bring down all review scores by 20%.

Is anyone taking care of these? http://forums.thedarkmod.com/index.php?showt...amp;#entry87842

Doesn't work (package is not found/known) , that's why I compiled it myself in the first place. I will do a search on ubuntu forums and see if there is anything useful. The Synaptic package manager doesn't list anything like that either. edit: Ok, I found this package on a debian site and could install it after installing the dependent gtkglext1 package. DarkRadiant is booting now, seems like I can be coding again soon.

I just got my mail and opened up the import box sets I ordered from UK - the Icewind Dale "3 In 1 Boxset" and Baldur's Gate "4 In 1 Boxset", so now I have them all! should I play the BG series, or IWD series first? I'm leaning toward BG Should I use the BG1Tutu deal? Are there any problems with that program? Is BG2 engine/graphics really that much better, or what would I be missing/getting? From reading their forums and stuff it seems that it works pretty good but is not perfect.

Yeah, I'm keeping a list of problems & stuff as I find them: http://forums.thedarkmod.com/index.php?act=S...t=4651&st=0

Also I'm not really in favour of locking thread just because they go offtopic. I always hate it when this happens in other forums, but human discussions are not as narrow minded as a forum tries to induce.

There should be a separate mage character, though I can't remember what stage he was at in development. This isn't an in-game shot, by the looks of it. There are three mage*.lwo files in Odd's pack. http://forums.thedarkmod.com/index.php?showt...411&hl=mage There's an eliteguard.lwo was well, along with all the textures. He's the one on the middle in this in-game shot: http://www.mindplaces.com/darkmod/guards.jpg Oh, and I forgot to add the noblewoman to the list. She was already in-game with a couple animations at one point.

So yep, to sum up - she can check the forums in the evenings, and she's given an email address and an MSN chat ID, which she's on most of the time too (outside of office hours). Plus she sits next to me at the office. So she's pretty contactable.

You can use mine if you want, but I warn you; they are really not that small. Assume 1024x1024 min, some are a little smaller, but most are bigger. You can find the link here: http://forums.thedarkmod.com/index.php?showtopic=4622
