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'm liking that last shot as well. Nice use of colours with simple architecture.

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 last shot especially, with the orange/blue warm/cool contrasts, looks fantastic.

I realize that. (I remembering overlaying the dirt patch on my roads.) Weren't we going to experiment with something like just embedding the grime into the original texture and using it as a custom texture, or something like that? Anyway, not even a showstopper, just the only thing I had to really comment on.

 

Well I've been trying to think of other ways to make good looking streets. Having rough gutters going along the edges, between the road and sidewalk is another thing maybe. The buildings all look great and are laid out well.

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

Indeed, I really like the creativity invested on the building forms. Texturing streets (in my little eperience) is always a problem, specially when you have wide streets like that (with a lot of surface to cover) - maybe you could try a grittier cobblestone texture? I tell you, if we had CoD's Radiant painting/blending of textures and decals, all the problems of creating richly textured surfaces as a mapper would be over.

That splittable, mergeable, growable triangulated patch also would be really cool... DR's nurbs patch is nice for certain geometries, but this one is so much more versatile and controllable it seems, you would feel tempted to create the whole map with them (specially because they have soft move, to control all those vertices organically).

Oh, yes, this would be really nice to have.

It might be addable. The "vegetation fading" also needs engine support (the engine only supports 50% fixed opacity), so this might get fixed at the same time. However, there are currently no people working on it, and we have waay to many other things (and almost noone working on it, either).

Sikkpin recently showed that you could use Red, Blue, Green and Black in one large texture as "masks" that

specify what sub-textures are doing. Looks like he just used Doom 3's native material blend system...

Here is one of the prefabs I have made over the weekend. I call it... Megafurnace!!! (the three exclamation marks are part of the name).

You can also make out part of a small gothic tower to the left if you look hard enough. For the time being, these are going into missions I am making, but they'll be released sooner or later - the simpler ones probably sooner.

Looks gorgeous Melan.

 

:)

 

You are aware that cardinality rules require that you use all double exclamation names before

switching to triple exclamation, right?

AluminumHaste: Some are older TDM stock, some come from Yan's converted test map, and some are my own. I think most of them are in the mod by now, but I'm not entirely sure, and can't check from work.

 

simplen00b: Maybe a bit less. An AI could just turn the valve on the left door comfortably.

      If you find the new Beatles song "Now and Then", which was created with the help of AI, totally boring, then you should better play the mission of the same name by our esteemed mission maker friend joebarnin, because the latter is actually a creative milestone!

      Idea: Thief 3 style missions.
      One of the great features of Thief 3 are missions defided in small segments with loading screens when you move from segment to segment. We all miss those right? I was thinking of mapping only horizontal, so not stacked. When you go up or down (stairs or elevator), you get a 20 seconds fake loading screen where you can play a minigame (The Builder's Blocks?). After that you get teleported to a different area that seems to be on top of the first, but actually isn't in the map file. It's much easier mapping, because you can see everything in one glance from above. This could also give more freedom building, because it doesn't have to fit. Everything is predictable because guards don't move to different sections.
      This could be used for the Thief 3 contest possibly..

      Just found out by accident how to change the tittle of a topic you made. You long-click (2 seconds) on a topic tittle, then you get an edit dialog to change the topic title.
      The other way I know of is to edit the first post.

      I always find it kind of strange that in DR you can't apply spawnargs on specific brushes (I think), but you can apply textures. But those are not listed as spawnargs, so they're difficult to see except if you select the brush and go into the Surface inspector.
      Wouldn't it be easier if DR would list textures for every seperate brush in the entity view?
