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 ...

Progress is slower then I thought. Guess I'll need one or two days longer then expected.

Nice to see those textures in action! stunning work as always Gman. Only critique I have is the use of the corner parts of the arch textures, have you tried it without..?

 

I debated whether to include them or not. Maybe they'll come out during beta, we'll see.

Holy heaping helpings of Herodotus on base with Marshall stacks and a wah-wah pedal! (source)

 

grayman: very beautiful! great use of textures and light.

 

Obs: Love the architecture and those vitrals stained glasses are promising awesome (and very tricky) lighting!

I love it when professionals speak :)

A couple shots of today's work for Home Again.

 

Sliptip's textures at work in this area.

It is very nice, but did you intend it to be lit so well? There are hardly any shadows around.

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

lol I forgot "vitral" isn't an english word, sorry. I mean "stained glass"

:laugh: Allright, thanks. And yes, I wanted to have some different lights then just moonlight, electric and flames. The lighting isn't so tricky as you may think. There are only three ambient light sources using two different colors.

Here you guys are making this stuff in days, where it's taken me a couple of weeks just to figure out the little I had made isn't any good after-all :)

 

Oh well, I never said I was a very good architect... let's just hope I can actually finish one at least. It is nice to see how you guys are going on yours. It can be a bit discouraging to be completely honest, but it does provide incentive.

 

From my point of view you are trying to do this.

And thats realy insane, you can get there, but why not try something like this..for start

Well i have some hundreds of this pics, alot of books of BD and some books of architecture that i buy when i begin to work on this mod, and in the end when i put some screenshot in here it seems a crap. So dont give up, just try to build a less complicated scenario.

I could make that room in a weekend, how? because a lot of the wood work is repetitive so I would only have to make each part once and then clone etc.

 

Good....i will wait....what weekend you think you can make it, in this weekend, next one or other weekend..because me, and @Arcady!!!!! realy like to see it how you done it B) Dont forget the stairs, and light ;)

This is something I always think during maping. But what I do think either is, that I get better and better with the time.

 

So the answer to the question "What makes me a good mapper?" is: "Go on and on and on and on ....!"

 

Another note: If you look at some of the FM's you will see that a couple of them are optical not outraging, but held a lot of enjoyment anyways. It's not just about the look, it's a game, so gameplay is important either ;)

Don't get discouraged. Great visuals do not necessarily make a good mission and vice versa. Some of my favourite maps have very simple visuals, but they're fun to play because of the story or the AI patrols.

      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!
