So, what are you working on right now?

[RPGista]

That's very neat, actually! Reminds me a lot of Mount and Blade, though you can clearly see some of the bugs, like a bit of the "stiffness" of the running horse and the fact you will actually hit him on the head when swinging weapons. But yes, I definetly would like to see this implemented in TDM!

Yes, that's ShadowHide's youtube channel.

its a crying shame he had such a trolling attitude on here as he is quite brilliant in a weird way with tdm.

[grayman]

It's a laughingstock that a couple of pathetic babies on here felt so picked upon by his teenage ways that they had no answer but to ban him.

 

Well, if you change "picked upon by his teenage ways" into "tired of his non-constructive non-contributing whining destructive combatitive antisocial behavior" and then "a couple of pathetic babies" into "a horde of mature contributors who finally tired of dealing with this continuous poor behavior, even after working with him in several ways to not only improve his work but also his attitude, yet failing in the end", and you might have a clearer picture of what occurred.

[RPGista]

@ lzz - Hmm, here we go again... Theres a thread just about shadowhide's ban, you should post your opinions there.

For the record, this ridable horse has been in TDM for ages. Ishtvan made it using vehicle code from D3. It's commented out in the release build because there were some unresolved clipping issues.

Ah, so there all along for anyone to tinker with :-) What were the clipping issues just out of curiosity.

[Springheel]

I can't really remember. I have a vague recollection of it having to do with the player being able to clip into things, like riding the horse into a room and you'd be clipping into the ceiling. But don't quote me on that.

We do have a number of open issues (search for horse on the tracker):

Not sure if these are relevant, but I don't think anyone has worked on the horse for a year or more.

[Bikerdude]

Regarding the horse -

 

1. would the horse be restricted by monsterclip even when the player is riding it..?

2. can the player be "mounted" at mission start..?

3. if the player comes into contact with say a tree branch while riding the house will the player and horse stop or will the player get knock off the horse..?

 

I ask because I have a map I am working on updating a map for 1.08 and am cursious to see if I could use the horse for a short distance without getting into to much trouble...

[Bikerdude]

Been doing a few more lines for SH, Im trying to be a ghost :-)

Just a heads-up that I'm still plugging away.

[STiFU]

Quickly made a backup of my current mission...latest backup was from march!???!!?

Yay for automated backups. Check out AllwaySync, it's free.

there is a paid version so it means the free version maybe limited?

[STiFU]

Yes it is limited, but you will never hit those limits in private usage. The number of files you can sync automatically per month is limited, but that number is reheeeally high: 40.000! Also, you can still click on manual sync, after you've hit that limit.

[Sir Taffsalot]

About 95% finished. Should be able to start beta testing in a few weeks.

How comes I can only upload 1 picture per post?

Looks good, but in my opinion it's too flat. I'd try extruding the second floor outwards a little bit.

[Diego]

They look nice! but seem to lack some variety, but I'd say forget about it and work on the gameplay. People focus too much on visuals and I think that's too much work for one-person level design.

[Sir Taffsalot]

I see what you mean. I might extend the sections that have an extra floor outwards to break up the flat feel.

[RPGista]

Visually I see impressive work on orderly architectural language and very good use of textures between elements! Like Diego says, an immersive environment is a lot more noticeable and overall enjoyed than level geometry alone, the only thing missing for me really is dirt, debris and uncontrolled vegetation growths scattered around in some of those areas. Glad to hear it is almost finished!

[nbohr1more]

Glad to hear your still on-track ithel!

 

Nice shots Sir Taffsalot. I'd agree that a little visual clutter might help for some of those scenes

but I'll bet they look much better with AA and AF cranked-up anyway. I'd only suggest that the darker

building with the arched entrance in the 2nd screen get a little grime to contrast against the clean

looking red building.

Undead reaching out .. Need sleep now... Hopefully nice dreams...

[Bikerdude]

very cool painting there mista.

[SeriousToni]

Haha thanks you two! And no demons in my dreams this night, just Springheel who played Age Of Empires with me while changing his Nickname every 10 seconds or so to things like Springyeehaaaw or Springyippieyayei.. Crazy times!
