So, what are you working on right now?

Hey Capela,

 

It's the "textures/darkmod/stone/brick/rough_natural_mixed" texture :-). It's one of those interesting textures that looks pretty different in practice than it does as a thumbnail in the media browser, I would never have thought about using if I hadn't seen it on a prefab building.

But you should walk having internal dignity. Be a wonderful person who can dance pleasantly to the rhythm of the universe.

doh, ninja'ed

Speaking of prefabs, i'm just now going through and looking at all the prefabs we have. We can always use more, but there's a pretty good mix of a lot of stuff.

 

@ authors... You can save quite a bit of time picking a couple things here and there from the prefabs.

Looks good, and you seem to map quite fast!

 

I would consider using a blue tone on the ambient light for outside locations. I find black to look a bit dry unless its a smaller interior.

 

Edit: I meant to say a blue tone on "all" outside locations, some are already bluer than others, and those look a lot nicer to me.

@RPGista: It is blue. But I guess depending on other light sources and the textures used in some location this is not good to see.

@Bikerdude: I don't know what a 'Storte' is (or if I get ever used to the name rape). Anyways, I always betatested my FM's. And if this particular one is ready, you are invited to test this one. :smile:

Be glad that you aren't Grayman. I can't tell you how many times he has been referred to with incorrect vowels or missing consonants... "Fruitcake" would be an improvement

in some of those spelling variants :D

I guess he didn't knew the band. You have to be permissive with Biker, he sometimes needs a while. :P

:laugh: I always wondered if the name has something to do with Niels Bohr.

Love the unique and unsual usage of my floortiles on the ceiling :)

Cool, got a testing thread setup or doing it through PMs..?

You have to be patient, as it will last at least two months. But then I guess I just pm you.

Well, it's an unusual contest. :D

 

Actually I can't remember why I have choosen to place them there. Maybe I was drunk. :blush:

Another teaser:

 

The least optimized area in the map, I have a couple more portals i can place but it is huge wide open. Still I have 5 guards there chasing me around and fps isn't dropping below 50 (on the pc anyway, my laptop is a bit laggy in most 3d games). (not a lot of details but I think it'll be alright - in this case I'm happy with having a very large area as a trade off for small details). Seems like the 1.08 update really did boost performance quite a bit.

 

if performance seems bad for some systems i might just make easy difficulty performance mode and have a lot of func_statics and models that won't be present.

 

Most of the base terrain is in, have a couple shortcuts and dead end city gates to put in. And the main location, so that'll take a week or so probably. Then it's just improving/aligning textures, adding details, sounds, patrols, objectives, read ables...hmmm, starting to sound like a long way to go ;)

      Finally got my PC back from the shop after my SSD got corrupted a week ago and damaged my motherboard. Scary stuff, but thank goodness it happened right after two months of FM development instead of wiping all my work before I could release it. New SSD, repaired Motherboard and BIOS, and we're ready to start working on my second FM with some added version control in the cloud just to be safe!

      I've updated the articles for your FMs and your author category at the wiki. Your newer nickname (DeTeEff) now comes first, and the one in parentheses is your older nickname (Fieldmedic). Just to avoid confusing people who played your FMs years ago and remember your older nickname. I've added a wiki article for your latest FM, Who Watches the Watcher?, as part of my current updating efforts. Unless I overlooked something, you have five different FMs so far.

      I've finally managed to log in to The Dark Mod Wiki. I'm back in the saddle and before the holidays start in full, I'll be adding a few new FM articles and doing other updates. Written in Stone is already done.

      You cannot receive PMs. Could you please be so kind and check your mailbox if it is full (or maybe you switched off the function)?
