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 ...

Eeeep.

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

That's a nice one AB!

 

Just remember to fight the urge to show too much of the horror stuff in advance. It loses it's effect if everyone has seen them in YT videos beforehand.

 

Also for sounds, be sure to check you have mono sounds. I think those were in stereo, and you lose the positioning of the sound.

 

Being able to determine the direction where the sound comes is suprisingly important in horror genre.

Don't worry, there's plenty more where this came from. It's not all just a spectator event either.

It is, had no idea that affected the directional audio though. Fix'd.

Wow Merry, where did you get those sound effects?

Fairly heavily edited sounds from SCP Containment Breach, very indie and under creative commons licensing ^_^

Hey Merry, how's your next mission coming along?

Not that I disagree with the sentiment, but I think it's dependent on how it flows/plays. For example, if you were to tell someone what you spent 4 hours doing in DayZ, or show them a recording, they'd be bored out of their minds.... make them live it, and have a towel and a teddy bear on hand. Provided AB can deliver more moments like that, even knowing they're coming won't insulate you from the effect. See: WP scene from SpecOps The Line.

In celebration of the 1500th brush, here is the first ever public screenshot of Penny Dreadful 2. It is still a way off, but the mission footprint and the basic boundaries are complete.

Ah good man, I was wondering how you were getting on with this.

 

You lot are in for a treat I can tell you, think of your favorite Skacky city mission and then put a Melan/Rttc flair on it and then you have this mission. This one make more use verticality than any other released TDM mission to date and borrowes inspiration from some of the campaign city mission's Melan and I have worked on.

 

Top tip for this mission, be carefull when gawking around as its a long way down... :D

On weaker machines, the mission will run like snails on molasses. That is the price of progress. ;)

 

(Not much optimisation has been done yet; many visportals are still to be placed, and so on. It will be better, although not radically better.)

The FPS counter reading in screenshots are meaningless. The number can be pretty much anything usually.

+1. I've experienced this all the time I've been taking screenies.

And an intriguing return it is! Welcome back!

      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?
