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?

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:

      I've finally managed to log in to The Dark Mod Wiki. I'm back in the saddle and before the holidays start in full, I'll be adding a few new FM articles and doing other updates. Written in Stone is already done.

      I like the new frob highlight but it would nice if it was less "flickery" while moving over objects (especially barred metal doors).
