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 ...

Yes, unfortunately v1.08 will be released in 2013. :D

Depends when 1.08 is out. I'd like to get my map as soon as possible. But it's taking longer than I imagined already, lol.

 

And I hope we get the skybox fix into 1.08, so far I haven't heard much word on it being implemented, and I'm gonna need it. So if that fix is in 1.08 then I can do what I want. If not it'll look horrible and I'll have to build more stuff to block views.

Seems like he's got it set up and it would be easy to do, but he's got it in Doom3, not TDM so who knows.

Is there anywhere a source code patch that we could integrate into TDM?

Finally got my PZM mic today, did some rough lines which should bring a smile to some of you hardcore Thief fans...

 

Some lines...

 

Are they available anywhere where I don't need to sign in, sign up, register, give password, etc.?

Our server is having a problem. We're working to fix it as soon as we can, so try again in a few minutes.

recording quality sounds very good to me, nice new mic! I think most of the lines are pretty good, but a couple of the dramatic Benny lines don't seem dramatic enough to me, like he's not being angry or sharp enough. But mostly decent. I love good mics, you so rarely hear them in amateur recordings or home video. We usually just hear the mic on the camcorder which is always crap.

So for rough recordings how did they sound? obviously I got carried away with the effects on the demon lines..

 

The human sounds were cool, but I think there was some feel of you forcing them. I mean, forcing as in not being natural. In some lines I could hear your normal voice bounce up briefly and then sink back into the imitated voice. This was in benny2 (the ending of the word recogNIZED) and benny5 (the ending of "I guESS"). Otherwise the imitation held up strongly.

 

I think you should pay attention to.. the stress/emphasis/accent (I don't know the english word.) I mean the following: examine the way you say things in the average jack vocal set. When impersonating this new voice, try to avoid using the voice pitch you normally would use. Well, not pitch, but intonation. The syllables you put weight on. We all have our own personal/unique way of putting weight on different syllables. Think about Glados in portal: she is very unique due to very odd syllable weighting. If you can put weight on different syllables you normally do, you will push the imitation to the next level.

 

I think if you can manage to pull that off, it will be really difficult to observe that the new voice and 'jack' are actually the same person. If the player notices the 'jack' in this new voice, they'll instantly get the feeling that average jack is impersonating someone else and the character is NOT an unique one.

 

I'm not sure if I could put it into words correctly, but I hope this will help.

Heh, that's the hard part and I know which bits you mean. I don't have any voice training at all, this is just me having a go and even then it was just 30mins of playing with the new mic while listening to the T2 recordings... If I had the lines in writing and wasn't trying to impersonate Benny, I would have been able to do a better job of not sounding like myself.

So weird, I was getting crashing in 1.07 when taking a screenshot (tga). Never changed anything but figured I'd try and snap one before closing the game. And it worked, as a jpg.???

 

Anyway, a teaser. (I am getting 60 fps here btw)

      Stumbled upon a documentary on Enki Bilal, he is one of the most influential comic book artists of my adolescence. English auto-subtitles is rubbish, so you might need to brush up on your French

      Today I did a bit of an experiment! I wanted to see if I could get a dark radiant map into garry's mod, the quickest and dirtiest and not-workiest method is "OBJ2VMF" which converts .obj models into VMF files for hammer to then compile, the way its supposed to work is that you input a 6 sided cube and it turns it into a 6 brush room (not exactly ideal for this since that's not how TDM maps work, this honestly would have been a better idea with any thief game from 1 to the one from 2014 since they all work like that) so what ended up happening was that for every brush there was 6 brushes would be ontop of that almost inflating everything in the map like a balloon, map scale was also an issue that I couldn't fine-tune easily either so the scale is way off ontop of everything being inflated making the space inside the map very tiny! anyways heres the result of that and it looks almost nothing like footloose (plus I did add a bunch of random props in gmod for funsies and better visibility since the process involved replacing all the textures with dev ones that look very flat when in full-bright)
