Serpentine Posted January 30, 2010 Report Posted January 30, 2010 looks good ps. I wonder who lights the torch above the gate Fire arrows and torches, a perfect... match. Quote
aidakeeley Posted January 31, 2010 Report Posted January 31, 2010 Yeah, I like that last one especially, the Brewery. Lots of nice unique choices there (and in the others - don't recall a slope like that before): the wide, pretty well-lit streets; the outward-jutting angle on the upper floor; the sewer hatch; the aforementioned high torch. All looking good. Quote "A Rhapsody Of Feigned And Ill-Invented Nonsense" - Thomas Aikenhead, On Theology, ca. 1696
Ishtvan Posted January 31, 2010 Report Posted January 31, 2010 Fire arrows and torches, a perfect... match. Exactly. The fire arrow: Anti-personnel incendiary weapon, or utility for lighting hard-to-reach torches? Both! It does it all. Purchase one today from the Inventor's Guild representative in your neighborhood market! Quote
Tels Posted January 31, 2010 Report Posted January 31, 2010 Exactly. The fire arrow: Anti-personnel incendiary weapon, or utility for lighting hard-to-reach torches? Both! It does it all. Purchase one today from the Inventor's Guild representative in your neighborhood market! Joking aside, in the real world the use a long wooden stick (think "broom handle") with a small candle at its top. With that, you can light f.i. the candles on a chandelier. The same thing had a "small metal hood" (like a small bell) on it, so you could also extinguish candles at the ceiling-heigh chandelier. Maybe we should add such an object to TDM Quote "The reasonable man adapts himself to the world; the unreasonable one persists in trying to adapt the world to himself. Therefore, all progress depends on the unreasonable man." -- George Bernard Shaw (1856 - 1950) "Remember: If the game lets you do it, it's not cheating." -- Xarax

stumpy Posted January 31, 2010 Report Posted January 31, 2010 There's a pipe built into the wall thats connected to a pump, so when it goes out the pump pumps oil over the torch, then an electric arc that runs through the end of the torch is turned on that heats up and lights the torch. Quote
Ladro Posted February 10, 2010 Report Posted February 10, 2010 It's there any WIP mission News ? The xmas missions contest released was so beatiful that now i'm addicted, i can't wait for new missions to come Quote
Springheel Posted February 10, 2010 Author Report Posted February 10, 2010 There are at least two missions that are just waiting on the new release. Quote TDM Missions: A Score to Settle * A Reputation to Uphold * A New Job * A Matter of Hours Video Series: Springheel's Modules * Speedbuild Challenge * New Mappers Workshop * Building Traps
stumpy Posted February 10, 2010 Report Posted February 10, 2010 there's still about a months work on mine to do. Quote
Ladro Posted February 11, 2010 Report Posted February 11, 2010 Thank you both for the update :-) So, we are waiting for the TDM release Quote
stumpy Posted February 13, 2010 Report Posted February 13, 2010 I put the spawnarg "texture" "lights/biground1_streetlamp_4fold_snd" on my streetlight and it turns off all the lights in my map, so I end up with lights in the map that dont light anything, complete pitch black. Quote
greebo Posted February 13, 2010 Report Posted February 13, 2010 I put the spawnarg "texture" "lights/biground1_streetlamp_4fold_snd" on my streetlight and it turns off all the lights in my map, so I end up with lights in the map that dont light anything, complete pitch black.This is because you're using a "_snd" light texture without having a sound shader defined on your light. This heavily screws up the renderer, use the light texture without _snd suffix. Quote
stumpy Posted February 14, 2010 Report Posted February 14, 2010 thanks, that fixed it, couldn't work out what I had done wrong. brewery 2 Quote
Bikerdude Posted February 15, 2010 Report Posted February 15, 2010 Some eye candy from the new mission I'm working on.. enjoy.. Quote
Serpentine Posted February 15, 2010 Report Posted February 15, 2010 (edited) More shots from the master nookmaker, looking good! And some of the stuff I have been working on :Some door textures (which are too clean and the handle points are too high) and generating tree models quickly (which has strange lighting issues and lines on some leaf tris, not too sure why) Edited February 15, 2010 by Serpentine Quote
Melan Posted February 15, 2010 Report Posted February 15, 2010 Good shots, Bikerdude. Some texture alignment issues on the arches on the last small image (in the background), but otherwise you are getting into this. Serpentine, those doors could use some grunge, and maybe darker textures (the latter would be pretty easy to add too), but I think once done, they would fit right into an official release.

Fidcal Posted February 15, 2010 Report Posted February 15, 2010 Very nice indeed both. @Serpentine: tiny nitpick: that diamond upper centre in the middle door looks like it should be moved up slightly so it is more symmetrical in that panel. Quote
7upMan Posted February 15, 2010 Report Posted February 15, 2010 (edited) Bikerdude, if I may: In shot00010ni.jpg, the stove casts no light. Apart from that, the shots are beautiful, they really capture the original Thief feeling. Wonderful work! Serpentine, the way I see it, we are not far away from Speed Tree style trees. Is it possible and feasible to divide the branches into finer branches? Or would the performance hit be too big to justify this? Edited February 15, 2010 by 7upMan Quote My Eigenvalue is bigger than your Eigenvalue.
Bikerdude Posted February 15, 2010 Report Posted February 15, 2010 Master nookmaker, lol I like it Yeah, some of the shots are older ones that were put on ttlg a while back that have been since fixed. Serps those doors look gorgeous, very secret treasure vault'esq... I am really wanting 1.01 so I can use the new fixes, Ai, textures etc that have been implemented.. Quote
Serpentine Posted February 15, 2010 Report Posted February 15, 2010 Re: DoorsThe handle plate placement has to be moved down, so the diamond window/shape thing will move down along with it and the top bar. The reason they are actually clean is because the source pics are quite clean! I know I need to add some grime and usage areas to the textures, darkening the diffuse changes things too much and makes the features stick out too much in ambient lighting. Re: TreesThe trees are generated in a similar way to Speedtree, however I dont use Max or even understand much modeling stuff (speedtree doesnt really export to models well unless you're using max, and even then they are problematic to keep in line with the other TDM trees) so I just wanted to make something that other people like myself can follow to make more or less good looking trees. The branches actually divide again but are covered by the leaves in that shot. I will upload a tutorial on the process I've been using, tho it isnt working 100% (there are still those white lines... for now) In the end it takes about 3-4 minutes to crank out a new tree once you have the hang of it(including exporting, converting and manually editing the ase file to reflect TDM textures) Quote
demagogue Posted February 15, 2010 Report Posted February 15, 2010 More tree variety would be nice. And that tree does look pretty good. Quote What do you see when you turn out the light? I can't tell you but I know that it's mine.

AluminumHaste Posted February 27, 2010 Report Posted February 27, 2010 Woot finally got my vid up on Youtube. It's a very WIP so it seems kinda bear, but please bear with me. Quote I always assumed I'd taste like boot leather.
