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 ...

Played around with some new techniques.

 

Few Patches + light =

Once I got ingame and looked at it I could just... Stare at it without blinking.

The scene is so simple, yet still so.. Interesting.

 

I still cannot get my eyes off it.

You work for AMD, Nvidia, or Intel, don't you Johannes?

 

You are practically forcing TDM players to buy new hardware :laugh:

 

(I really hope I can play your FM with my crappy PC ^_^ )

Please visit TDM's IndieDB site and help promote the mod:

(Yeah, shameless promotion... but traffic is traffic folks...)

Man, that's awesome! If you're not going to finish it, you should definitely let someone else have a go at completing it!

awesome work guys, amazing stuff! here is my own contribution for the great patch-off 2011:

bargeboards! and circular window, thats made out of patches too, but the window was a lot easier to make and align than those damn bargeboards. well worth the effort though B)

yes, the white stone is a placeholder. theres really no white wood in TDM at the moment except for a lattice texture that serpentine designed, but it doesn't work very well by nature for the bargeboard. some white painted board texture would be ideal, but as yet none exists and i have no experience/talent for textures *shrug*

after looking on some old maps again here an impression of one of my never finished first try maps...

 

 

Wow, wow you should turn that into a playable map! :wub:

 

(Also, we really need to up the resolution of that wood texture (the one on the beams), it is our most-used texture and the blotchy pixel stand out glaringly against the rest of the higher resolution textures.)

Those bargeboards may even make for a good prefab - or texture model. They look very reusable.

by the way, i think these caves are much easyer to create than other things ( f e broken parts of a bridge, trim...)

dont know how sotha think about but it is only a cylinder with additional rows and cols and then a more or less random point pushing...

 

i think for a newbie, what i was with patches to this time of cavecreation, it is very simpel.

 

the real mastery is to have a broken trim which cons of 5 patches on its own and the braking point itself also of 3 or 4 patches...

 

right?

this is what i mean ONLY the DAMAGED parts are 12 patches...and to fit this is th hard way..

Johannes, the video reminded me a lot of that Thief 1 mission, where you enter the Hammerite castle through the mines. Anyway, very atmospheric and beautiful. I really hope one of the other heavyweights (like Sotha or Fidcal, for example) will grab that map and finish it. I sense a lot of potential here.

I think it'd be neat to see it finished. It is very impressive for a "first try". A few more small missions, even in very small sizes, would also do the mod good. Large ones (like I am working on) are impressive, but they have a huge development cycle, which means people get fewer missions as builders are tied down. I'd make one or two, except, well, what I am working on will occupy me for a while yet, and I have less time for editing than I used to a few years ago, so I have to use that time very efficiently. :wacko:

      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 ?

      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?
