It's a good point on the screen, but screens also showcase those issues. Seeing how they are static and they give you time to really examine them.

 

In game is deffinately different. A lot of times I play a mission and feel very immersed, then look at screens and think 'not as pretty as I thought'. Part of that whole moving, seeing different angles...

Dark is the sway that mows like a harvest

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 ...

I've no idea what this is about or what the yellow line is. To ask the question again, are we talking about the artistic merits of the screenshot or the map?

 

More like "the artistic merits of the *views* in the map", which are (or not) seen by the player. An FM can be seen as an interactive movie, or an interactive piece of art. Or just something to escape reality and have fun. :)

Absolutely. There's far too great a tendency to focus on screenshots, when they're only giving you 80% of how it actually looks in game (if that).

 

That's why nitpicking little details in screenshots (either maps or models) is generally not useful.

No, I'm not dead. Progress has been slow partially due to real life and partially to my biggest problem - I keep adding stuff. Here's the view from the outside wall - the one that stops the player from leaving the map and gives a plausible reason why you can't. Now that it's done, I keep thinking "It would be so awesome if you could go up there." Stupid brain. wacko.gif

Hehe! Someone shot a gas arrow at you? Without that strange bumping sound @2.5s that clip could be even used for something.. ^_^

LOL this was just a blooper Sotha, I have already done a load of stuff thats in TDM 1.03. So if people need voice stuff all they need to do is ask.. But I cracked up afterwards, so thought I would share..

:laugh:

Haven't post a screen long time, so here is one.

 

Carpet looks a bit thick, but otherwise mighty fine scene!

Looks nice! Once you get some paintings and wall-decor it's gonna be really nice.

It reminds me of Knightons Manor; same lots of same textures and similar color interior.

 

Thanks. Yes, I believe almost every original texture has been used in all the FM's, so I feel I must try to create some unique textures for my future maps...There are a few new textures in this FM though :)

Possibly bad news: For my FM to be the way it's intended, I'm gonna need "High/Low security areas". In short, the guards don't bother me as longas I'm in a low security area, but if they see me in a high security area OR see me lockpicking, they'll get pissed. According to Greebo, this requires some good coding that isn't done in the blink of an eye.

 

I've got a way around this, but it won't be as cool as the above...but as there is more to build on the map, I'll just hope that the implementation is inserted in time for the FM to be released rolleyes.gif

 

Does somebody have any idea for pulling this of with scripting?

Thats why I love dromed,its allow you create things like without any coding skill

Proceed with caution!

      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 ?

      Looks like the "Reverse April Fools" releases were too well hidden. Darkfate still hasn't acknowledge all the new releases. Did you play any of the new April Fools missions?

      Hope everyone has the blessing of undying motivation for "The Dark Mod 15th Anniversary Contest". Can't wait to see the many magnificent missions you all may have planned. Good luck, with an Ace!
