Hello thieves,  the other day I realized my last Volta release was in 2017! Time really flies.  After years of fiddling with this project, I'm ready to announce the remaining missions in the Volt

Added some temporary lights to FM that is just entering beta - I guess there is not much to show if all lights are off in your mission...   http://forums.thedarkmod.com/topic/19886-fm-marsh-of-rahena-

Got back to DR and added a few rooms to my WIP ...

Nice.

 

I'm thinking now that depending on what it is, models are probably better than prefabs. One less place to look and are better at batch counts.

 

Like pillars would be great models and skins could be made for them, I guess having a prefab too would be nice too though for stuff that might require resizing.

@FreshLemonMan: That nice drawing says EX-pagan, so much paganism wouldn´t fit her anymore, would it?

 

@Bikerdude:

No, they´re as ugly as before, even uglier because you don´t see sth now in that darkness, pff.

 

Nah, forgive me, I just love to mock gods, and you seem to be a TDM-god!! I can´t believe anymore it was you who built Business as usual! You are so much better than 'that' guy, really, I´m hardly impressed. Did you ever made maps before? For DromEd I mean?

And it gladdens me even more that you are willing to make your 'creations' available for the community, kudos for you, Bikerdude. And you say you´ll likely release that map there in the next month? Yeah? :wub:

 

Erm, maybe I should add that I have no intention to come on to you(I hope my translator gave me that right), I just love the atmosphere that I see in your posted screenshots. And if you look at them in fullscreen, they´re fine. The bright forum-colour around the shots make a hard contrast...

That said, there's nothing about the design (nice drawing, btw!) that suggests she is a pagan. Most peasants would wear simple leather shoes like that. If you want her to look pagan, tattoos or strange hairstyles would be the way to go.

 

I'll try to make her look a little more wild and maybe give her a tattoo, but I wanted to convey a certain level of domestication. Think about it this way, would you want a strange/bushy haired/wild looking pagan girl serving your shop? half the customers might think something shifty was going on or think that the food or alcoholic may have been tampered with.

 

I wanted to have a little dialogue if I can (I'll get my friends in if so) and I want it to be a twist when you find out she's a pagan... yeah I know that sounds a little silly since I'm telling you all now, but this is for the most part course work and I'll be mostly trying to appeal to the marker, and possibly future employers.

I don't know the concept, but all those beautiful details are nearly gone becaues of lack of lighting. Most players don't stop for seconds to check out details in dark. I realized that from myself after I started mapping. I don't say increase the ambient light, some areas are great in darkness (especially last shot:wub: ) but some areas needs more lighting if it suits with the concept imho (especially light radius of chandeliers in first shots).

 

Thief (and The Dark Mod obviously) are the exceptions. These games are all about exploration and checking out details in dark.

 

Bikerdude, whay aren't you working on some big company yet?

biker I want to call u DRDude from now on. :) You're simply amazing!

 

-Great patch work, lighting, and enough world detail.

 

However, you need to resize the light in order to fit in braizer. It is good with 1 1 0.75 scale. However it can be problematic with in some cases if you know what I mean. Well, It was on my to do list to resize it on particle editor but I totally forgot it.-_-

Oooooh... I didn't know you could change the actual size of the partial effect, now that is very very handy - how/where do I do it..?

We should really make a pre-made light+brazier model in this case. Please file a tracker entry. (There is not much sense in when every mapper resizes it for themselves again :)

most poor people wear clogs. (wooden shoes)

 

Ahhh... maybe if she was in Switzerland?

 

Apart from that, I'm really going for the most practical or readily available material/form that suites the period and the person. If she had money she'd probably have some kinda of slip ons that are a little less crudely crafted.

Oh; gorgeous, gorgeous crypt! :laugh:

Come the time of peril, did the ground gape, and did the dead rest unquiet 'gainst us. Our bands of iron and hammers of stone prevailed not, and some did doubt the Builder's plan. But the seals held strong, and the few did triumph, and the doubters were lain into the foundations of the new sanctum. -- Collected letters of the Smith-in-Exile, Civitas Approved

      i am so euphoric to see new FMs keep coming out and I am keen to try it out in my leisure time, then suddenly my PC is spouting a couple of S.M.A.R.T errors...
      tbf i cannot afford myself to miss my network emulator image file&progress, important ebooks, hyper-v checkpoint & hyper-v export and the precious thief & TDM gamesaves. Don't fall yourself into & lay your hands on crappy SSD

      Does anyone actually use the Normalise button in the Surface inspector? Even after looking at the code I'm not quite sure what it's for.

      Turns out my 15th anniversary mission idea has already been done once or twice before! I've been beaten to the punch once again, but I suppose that's to be expected when there's over 170 FMs out there, eh? I'm not complaining though, I love learning new tricks and taking inspiration from past FMs. Best of luck on your own fan missions!

      I wanna play Doom 3, but fhDoom has much better features than dhewm3, yet fhDoom is old, outdated and probably not supported. Damn!
      Makes me think that TDM engine for Doom 3 itself would actually be perfect.

      Maybe a bit of advice ? In the FM series I'm preparing, the two main characters have the given names Toby and Agnes (it's the protagonist and deuteragonist, respectively), I've been toying with the idea of giving them family names as well, since many of the FM series have named protagonists who have surnames. Toby's from a family who were usually farriers, though he eventually wound up working as a cobbler (this serves as a daylight "front" for his night time thieving). Would it make sense if the man's popularly accepted family name was Farrier ? It's an existing, though less common English surname, and it directly refers to the profession practiced by his relatives. Your suggestions ?
