The engine has multi spawn positions but only for multiplayer, the single player code does not handle that but I see a way to go around this, what about using the player teleportation feature? Something like this, In DR put special "go to" entities, just used as locations to transport too, then in the main menu GUI set which entity the player should jump too and then transport the player to it when he spawns, you can do a fade transition to hide the jump, for the player will be like he spawned there in the first place.

Hello. I have started to work on multiplayer and I'm looking for contributions. After some tweaking now you can set up a server or connect to one. Here's an overview: -I've added a few placeholder GUIs and a Join Game button for the host. I think I can't do much more than that since I don't have the original GUI assets from Doom3 -The player will be able to respawn after death by clicking attack, just like in Doom3. The fadeout effect is quicker than the single player one. Maybe the player should stay in spectate for 10-30 seconds. -Commented out the part about player skins, since I don't need it right now. -Event_GetEntity: if the entity you want to get in a script is named 'player1', the function will redirect you to gameLocal.GetLocalPlayer() -Added back the si_pure cvar for the server/client checksum check: if the cvar is set to 0, players will be able to connect even if their installations don't match. -I haven't worked on the objectives. /Commented out the objectives part. I'm not sure what the server is supposed to do after someone completes all the objectives. Restart the map? Change map and force the client to install another mission, then restart the game and reconnect? -Frob highlighting is done client-side, you can pick up objects but I couldn't get grabbing/lifting to work. -Various band-aid fixes. Here's a list of things that need to be fixed: -Weapons (clientside). They work only for the server host, and I can't quite figure out how the client is supposed to change weapon, since the SelectWeapon function is reserved for the host. -Inventory (clientside) -Flashbombs and flashmines don't spawn in the right place when used. -Lightgem.The AI are blind. -Chat GUI and other GUIs. -Third person animations. People can't see when I'm attacking because the player's torso is stiff. Does the player's worldmodel support the existing NPC animations? If so, most of the work is already done. In any case, we'll need a mantling animation, which could benefit single-player guards too. -Speaking of mantling, client mantling is buggy. The camera animation runs at double the normal speed, and the player is not left hanging on ledges, so the clients often land back where they started unless they keep jumping. -A new server message which tells all players when an objective has been completed. -The player's head is bugged when another client connects. Right now there's not much you can do, besides hosting a jumping/tap-dancing competition or roaming together around a map (without AIs). You can use 'say <message>' to chat. Here's the code. I have included only the files I've changed. https://www.dropbox.com/s/16j3mlkwprthsin/multiplayertest.zip?dl=0 I have also included an executable and DLL for windows in the zip. I recommend you to back up your old ones, because the new ones were compiled with vs2013 which has a few weird bugs. This was based off the latest official source(2.03). Maybe we could set up a branch, or add this directly to the main branch. Thanks to SteveL for some tips. IMPORTANT: the client's installed FM must be the same as the server's, otherwise the client will keep trying to restart the game endlessly trying to find it.

@datiswous, made that correction fm_test.subs --> fm_conversations.subs @stgatilov, about srt naming and file location, would you be OK with the following edit? New/changed stuff in italics: srt command is followed by paths to a sound sample and its .srt file, typically with matching filenames. An .srt file is usually placed either with its sound file or in a "subtitles" folder. The .srt file format is described e.g. [1]. The file must be in engine-native encoding (internationalization is not supported yet anyway) and have no BOM mark. It contains a sequence of text messages to show during the sound sample, each with start and end timestamps within the sample's timeline. It is recommended to use common software to create .srt files for sound samples, instead of writing them manually. This way is more flexible but more complicated, and it is only necessary for long sounds, for instance sound sample of a briefing video. It's a simple enough standard that it can be shown as an short example, demonstrating that subtitle segments can have time gaps between them. And the example can show correct TDM usage, without requiring a trip off-site and picking through features that TDM doesn't support. Specifically, the example shows how to define two lines by direct entry, rather than using unsupported message location tags (X1, Y1, etc.). And skips other unavailable SRT font markups like italics, mentioned in the wikipedia description. The example would also show the TDM-specific path treatment. The example could be inserted before the sentence "It is recommended to use common software...."

Yes, it is multiplayer, but you can also play it as singleplayer with bots. And you dont need a server to play. There is a forum but no active posts. I havent played it in months, but i enjoyed it.

Isn't this multiplayer only? I remember playing it with a friend online many years ago. Is the community there and the servers still active?

Public release v1.7.6 (with Dark Mod support) is out. Improvements since the final beta 14 are: Fixed a few remaining bugs with zip/pk4 support. Game Versions window now properly displays TDM version. Import window no longer has a vestigial off-screen TDM field (because TDM doesn't need or support importing). Web search option is now disabled if an unknown/unsupported FM is selected. If an FM with an unknown or unsupported game type is selected, the messages in the tab area now no longer refer to Thief 3 ("Mod management is not supported for Thief: Deadly Shadows"). The full changelog can be viewed at the release link. The de facto official AngelLoader thread is here: https://www.ttlg.com/forums/showthread.php?t=149706 Bug reports, feature requests etc. are usually posted there. I'll continue following this thread though. Thanks everyone and enjoy!

Good work! I enjoy short missions because things are nice and focused - you get in, you get out. Also I tend to do better with the loot amounts and I was able to get all the loot without too much trouble, which is rare for me. If I were to make a suggestion though - I found the intro briefing sequence a bit distracting because it was so obvious the narration was pitch-shifted to make a deeper voice. If you felt the original voice wasn't deep enough for your needs, I would either get someone on the forums to record it for you or just leave as is. That's my only real complaint and it's not even about the mission itself, so pretty good first start!

Hi guys, through the "cheats" topic I got the idea, that it would be quite useful, if there were tags for missions (the post was about removing the killing restriction in some missions to suit the prefered play style). I don't know how easy or difficult this is, but with them, it would be quite convenient to pick missions with playstyles, environment, etc one does want to use. This could also be expanded to other mission properties. I remember a discussion about climbable drains, handles on doors, that cannot be picked and other things the map author chooses for himself. That way these things would be clearer and as I said before, it is easier to choose missions with playstyles that suit oneself. What do think?

I am pleased to announce the release of our new fan mission, The Hare in the Snare: Part 1 Mission type: City Missions + Inn/Tavern Description: People are being abducted off the streets and a Watch Captain requires the services of a thief to help him find out why.

Earlier versions will probably work but you might see one or two missing models. You may experience some FPS drops in some areas with lower-end hardware. Mid-range and above should be fine. If you have issues, I highly recommend you use shadow maps instead of stencil (settings -> advanced -> shadows implementation). It makes a big difference. For 'Hard' and 'Expert' the light gem sensitivity has been increased by '1' (meaning easier for AI to detect you). Screenshots:

I'd like to better understand what you want. The design of dragging bodies is to hold frob (key down) to drag and release frob (key up) to let go. That way it's impossible to walk away while unintentionally dragging a body. Plus, it's quick to grab and move several body limbs in rapid succession. This is thought to provide a better experience, especially for new players. Towards the beginning of this thread, I created a "tdm_frobhold_drag_body_behavior" cvar. https://forums.thedarkmod.com/index.php?/topic/22198-feature-proposal-frob-to-use-world-item/&do=findComment&comment=487580 "tdm_frobhold_drag_body_behavior", default:"1" Which drag body behavior? 1 --- on frob key up, drop body (limb). 0 --- on second frob, drop body (limb), TDM v2.11 (and prior) behavior. That cvar was removed shortly afterwards, because it was said that it wasn't needed. With that cvar set to 0, a second frob would be required to let go of the body. Is that the behavior that you want? If so, I can add that cvar back. Also, I saw elsewhere that you want the ability to revert back to the old way. If you mean that all of the controls match TDM 2.11, that can be done with "tdm_frobhold_delay 0" and there will be a menu setting to disable it as well.

I saw this a few days ago. PvP/multiplayer is no-no for me though.

Outer Wilds and Inscryption for their genre defining nature and utterly brilliant design. Sekiro for redefining Sword Fighting in video games and SIFU for adapting and expanding that to fist fighting. Hollow Knight for setting a new benchmark in the Metroidvania genre. Doom Eternal for introducing more players to the flow-state due to its mechanics. Other notable mentions: Amid Evil for its awesome abstract level design in an oldschool boomer-shooter setting DEATHLOOP for combining a nice single player experience with an immersive multiplayer part There is no Game - Wrong Dimension just for being so absolutely meta and funny. OlliOlli World because it is simply a shitton of fun and comes with a soundtrack that instantly raises your mood.

Not to be a nag, but I was thinking about the columns problem. If you go to the view source tab in the wiki article: https://wiki.thedarkmod.com/index.php?title=Fan_Missions_for_The_Dark_Mod&action=edit The raw table data is accessible directly: |- !align=left|{{TDM-FM|written|Written in Stone}} |Bikerdude, Amadeus, Dragofer |{{Forumlink|https://forums.thedarkmod.com/index.php?/topic/21265-written-in-stone-beta-210-only-20220128/}} |2022-01-28 |338 |Yes |Yes |CCC 22, Elixir |City Missions |Undead, Horror Themes |- Each pipe character represents one of the columns.

Terrific! The beta test thread is up: https://forums.thedarkmod.com/index.php?/topic/22238-beta-testing-the-spider-and-the-finch/

Welcome to the Dark Mod forums MarsManon! Thank you very much for the kind words about SLL, it's always nice to hear We all worked real hard on bringing Grayman's map to life and I'm glad you enjoyed it

I was so enchanted by this FM, I had to sign up to the forums the same day I finished it to come thank the authors Genuinely, truly incredible work! I was so overwhelmed in places that I resorted to just shouting joy at my monitor two, three, maybe four entirely separate times while playing. Exploring, puzzling, finding something new, trying to use it, and finding it does a whole new, separate, wonderful thing! There aren't enough words inside me to describe the feeling. It was breathtaking. I don't have any specific feedback that hasn't come through this thread before Thanks so much for making this, for all the inspiration and ingenuity and effort it took. If I never play another level this good, in any other game, in my life, I'd be fine with that.
