      Pardon me, what is a "city hub"?

    3. Melan

      Melan

      pusianka: the city segments from Thief: Deadly Shadows. They are hubs instead of regular missions because you revisit them again and again.

      I beta tested both of those maps :-)

  2. Well.. I'm on Reddit finally... Stop over at r/gaming and upvote my post if you can :)

      I don't know reddit at all. I tried to find your post from main page but no luck.

      upvoted although you probably should have just submitted a link to the main page rather than a random screenshot

      Yeah, I'll post a more serious post in r/games...

       

      I was trying to stick with their whole caption>image>discussion routine

       

      ...though I probably should've posted the image to imagur for consistency (reddit and imagur are tied at the hip...).

  3. Just wanted to say, Hello! From reading through various posts in the forums it seems like a great community and I hope to become a part of it. So I got the hankering for some Thief as of late and stumbled on TDM through some googling. After purchasing Doom 3 through Steam and instaling TDM, I have been nostalgiacly playing through many of the FMs and have also decided to d/l the Radiant editor and start making a mission, maybe many, we'll see. As it turns out also, I just started (today!) my 1 week vacation from work and intend to dive in to the Radiant editor and am currently going through the A-Z wiki on it. A bit of background on me, I 'used' to work in application support till the economic crash a couple years ago and was laid off and am now running a machining center at a local machine shop, using Mastercam daily, 2D/3D stuff and have always wanted to make a mission/game, and decided since I've always enjoyed the Thief series and stealth gameplay so much, this is where I would start. After getting to my third year in Mechanical Technology I changed my major to Information Technology (should have went with straight Computer Science but ahhh hindsight). I've always loved building things and designing things and also really enjoy computers, art, audio, and the entire visual experience as presented to a user. I have created a couple playable maps before using the older source engine editor so I'm vaguely familiar with 3D modeling, skyboxes, lighting, AI pathing, etc. That's been over 10 years ago though. I got familiar with 3dsmax, ProE, Autocad, and Mastercam in my first major during school so that helps a bit when familiarizing with a new editor and as previously mentioned I've dabbled around in the Valve Source editor. I'm also very much looking forward to the Crucible of Omens campaign created by the marvelous talent at TDM and would like to help in any way I can once I'm familiar with the Radiant engine. I can also do many many voices, I've often thought about moving out to Cali from Indiana and finding work in voice-overs, voice acting, etc. All this started as a youngster with little friends, time on my hands, and imaginary friends. Wow that's hard to admit. So anyway, I've been working on a shadowy Garrett voice, and can do guards and some women characters with old, old english, gruff, slippery, sneaky, terrifying, voices and personalities. Just thought I'd mention that as it may be a way that I could contribute early on and would also enjoy. So anyway, too much about me and not enough A-Z wiki, back to the tutorial! Glad to be here and hope for good things to come.
  4. I haven't been around too much recently, but when I do look into the forums every so often, I am always amazed how much progress is being made on the mod. Great work people!

      I wish there was a way we could play against each other on line.

      Neat, but a gimmick.

    4. Sir Taffsalot

      Sir Taffsalot

      True but its Chess meets Thief! The best gimmick ever!

  5. Is a 24 page readable a bit too long?

      Sir Taffsalot

      Thanks for the offer but I'm a bit confused. Why would there be pictures in someones journal? While it would be a very nice touch wouldn't that be somewhat emmersion breaking?

    3. GameDevGoro

      GameDevGoro

      Well, like others have already pointed out. Keep the entire 24 pages, as long as you do not force the player to read it. If it's just for flavor, like TES game readables. It's all gravy, man. :)

    4. nbohr1more

      nbohr1more

      It's your call but the pictures would represent the player's imagination as they read the journal. So it would be a 3rd person experience of sorts... But so are expository cut scenes...

  6. Strange dream last night. I dreamt that I was writing a post on here to complain about the new vocal sets for 1.08 as I had just heard a Builder singing This Charming Man by The Smiths.

      Pls, let me translate this for you:

      TDM is your life passion and singing AI is your disapproval with life. You're gonna die in agony... Soon.

      You found one of the 1.08 Easter eggs!

      I never got into BSD, though I've installed it once or twice. This is another reason to check it out.

      @Sir Tafs: +1 (zillion)

      The BSD's arn't for everyone, but within their goals, simple code and mailing lists lies a lot of goodness and simplicity. I love the underdogs. Anyhoo work will be Linux friendly too. Portability is a cornerstone for good code.

  8. For the last 1-2 weeks the forums have been really slow and unresponsive for me, when I type a post half the time it just sits there etc.. is anyone else having the same issues..?

    2. demagogue

      demagogue

      (We can leave the thread for journalism corruption, but just on this...) Then the issue in academia is money flowing to the more corruptable fields like science & engineering with the big corporate grants & revolving door with staff. The humanities might not get that, but OTOH they are getting pressured to "justify their existence" financially. I could probably agree it's rife in almost any human field though, as long as there are incentives there will be corruption.

    3. demagogue

      demagogue

      Or then we have the "uncorruptable" critical academics, but then they're basing their work on Derrida or Marx and are so detached from reality they throw their credibility out the window. It's good to be critically detached, not so good to be derailed from reality. My position in law sometimes is something like a critical realism, but it's practically an orphan position. (You want to protect victims *and* think science works??? Wha...?)

    4. Sotha

      Sotha

      Who is uncorruptable anyways? I cannot convince even myself that I would be uncorruptable in every situation. And I perceive myself to be situated in the more-reliable-than-50%-of-the-general-population side in the gaussian distribution curve of corruption. Problematic, yes?

  9. I can do line of an evening, and only takes about 30 mins or there abouts.
  10. Does anybody else have this problem? In the (European) evenings the forum is unbearable slow. The server is delivering about 8Kbyte/s, sometimes less and usually stops midwhere during loading the page. Sometimes you can't even get the index page, sometimes you can log in, but then only get half of the overview etc. In the mornings everything is snappy.
  11. looks cool, but as long as there's something scripted in it I never want to play a game like that

  12. Ok, See no "Contact Us" links anywhere on thedarkmod.com FYI: http://www.thedarkmod.com/missiondetails/?id=6 Download site #2, "http://www.darklurker.com/DarkMod/patently_dangerous.pk4" is 404 - bad link needs to be removed HTH!
  13. I've upgraded IPB to the latest stable version, and since this was a major upgrade (from 2.3.6) I also had to re-do the forum style. Most of the new stuff is in place, but I bet that the logo will be changed. One of the many new features in version 3 is rating of posts and also a "report spammer" ability which will make it easier to single out spam bots and ban then at sight. Hopefully this will stop some of the spam threads we've seen recently. Make sure to empty your browser cache if you're experiencing any problems. And please report any errors etc in this thread. Cheers, ~m2
  14. I can't login to Steam forums. Please visit the Thief release threads and mention TDM Thanks!

      Just finished playing this morning, this was awesome, in an old skewl way - would love to make a TDM homage to it...

    3. Sir Taffsalot

      Sir Taffsalot

      I'm using the CD with TG, T2 and T3 on it. Darkloader doesn't like it. I can't get TG FMs to work

    4. Sir Taffsalot

      Sir Taffsalot

      I assume it works with a TG only CD

  16. Just read your post on TTLG comparing the vibrant Sotha missions with the "coasting" missions that are sought out by an ungrateful hardcore for the original Thief.

    Couldn't agree more!
