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 made a whirlpool for a river/lake/pond which was very simple to make and works quite well. But it is extremely hard to see among streaming clear water. So now I'm about to unpack the .mtr file for the water textures and figure out how to piece together a new .mtr to make streaming water more opaque, or make one of the other water textures into a streaming one.

 

Progress... I modified the glowing cave water stream to use the water_green texture. That worked pretty well, especially in combination with a light source in the middle of the vortex. A little bit of tweaking to do and I'll have a rather nice looking whirlpool.

Oh wow. Almost like Rocksbourg, recreated for TDM. Maybe you ought to repost it on TTLG as well... in the what are you working on thread.

@SP, ah but remember the rules alowed the use of prebuilt sections of maps and prefabs. What I have done is spent a weeks merging and streamlining about a dozen, very old maps that given to me by Flanders (the guy who built the trianing mission), so yes I have done a shed load of work, but the basic archtechture was already inplace etc.

I know Flanders' stuff. He's very talented on mapping. Good luck then.

So here is a new screen of the same scene I posted some pages before. Some things changed because I wasn't too happy with the old building you could see on the left. Some of the buildings look familiar because I tried to create something similiar to some buildings from Dragon's Claw, Return to the City, Training Mission etc but please don't be too harsh. This is just some kind of learning process and I learn many things by looking at other maps. It's still not optimized with visportals because it's just this little street and some buildings around the corner and I change things often. Also the lights are not final.

 

Edit: I'm sorry. I tried to get the picture uploaded using the old and the new uploader but I always get an internal server error or the upload keeps getting skipped. I uploaded it at pictureupload.de:

Looks terrific Seuchensoldat!

 

It certainly stands-up well against the other city missions visually.

 

No need to fear any harsh words from me :wub:

That looks very pleasing to me! The only critism I'd have is that the brick archs on the windows are a bit to much sticking out. (And as they are textured, the front row of bricks would fall of :)

Nice. You've got non-square angles all over the place, and without any z-fighting that I can see.

Really visibly interesting when mappers do that.

What do you see when you turn out the light? I can't tell you but I know that it's mine.

edit: i also cant upload anything here

 

One word: *drooool*

 

Also,@Seuchensoldat: You have very interesting geometry, silouettes and design. I really like it, too! Cozy, warm athmosphere on that street!

You know how they blame video games for copy-cat behavior?

 

Johannes is gonna make me steal some loot so I can buy a better rig to play his mission.

      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?
