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 ...

Custom torch?

Yeah, the flame is the new 1.08/2.0 flame particle, the dust sparkles/embers from the lamp glare particle and new type glare that came with the map. And the torch body & mount came with the map.

 

All this map needed was some TDM love and now that I have Goldchocobo on-board you people are in for a treat :-)

There's something wrong going on above the doorway in the third picture.

And is there a teeny-weeny texture glitch in the top left-hand corner of the fourth pic? (Hope this doesn't sound nit-picky - I wouldn't normally notice something like that but the rest of the pic is so gorgeous it kinda jumped out at me.) :P

If you are referring to Biker's upcoming mission, the original is the "Gatehouse" map for Doom 3 by EvilArtist.

So thanks to Bikerdudes inspirational pictures and Sotha's amazing brain I have added some custom textures. This is my first attempt, what do you guys think?

Nice texture, mr Gold!

 

To evaluate the bump map quality, one should see the same texture lit a bit from the side.

 

And it is good practice to put some basic lighting to scenes to get the idea how it looks. With only ambient light it forcibly looks a bit washed out and not as good as it really is.

All you need now is a matching floor testure with slime/dirt etc...

 

I added a custom floor but I don't know it looks a bit strange to me :/ This is the part of texturing that I hate because I cant decide if it looks good or not.

Hard to tell, without any shading etc. . Currently, I'd say it looks rather bad, but that's just due to the missing lighting setup. It's the complete scene composition rather than a single texture that makes a scene look good or not...

Yeah I think I will keep the floor to its previous texture, it just seems to work better and when playing it in the area it's in it looks like it suits it all nicely so yeah.

The bricks on the floor are too small. Personally, I would choose a cobblestone texture that looks a bit dirty/mossy. It may also beneficial to let the texture always look into the direction of the sewer, so it goes around the corner as well as the sewer itself. Use a patch for that purpose.

Ok now I have gone through many different textures and have finally found one which I am happy with.. I added a temporary light to see how it would look in the end and I think it looks pretty bad ass... Now I have spent way too much time worrying about this I need to move onto another area heh :)

1158 tris

Getting there :) I'm no modeler, and as such it's always awesome to see guys like you making this stuff!

 

I'd save the tris from the end, make it flattened and just use a very domed normalmap for the two large faces. A normalmap over the handle would also be pretty good (seems to have a little notch at the top which is fairly inconsequential and would be easier to deal with in texture anyway).

 

I like that it looks rather damn sharp.

      i am so euphoric to see new FMs keep coming out and I am keen to try it out in my leisure time, then suddenly my PC is spouting a couple of S.M.A.R.T errors...
      tbf i cannot afford myself to miss my network emulator image file&progress, important ebooks, hyper-v checkpoint & hyper-v export and the precious thief & TDM gamesaves. Don't fall yourself into & lay your hands on crappy SSD

      Does anyone actually use the Normalise button in the Surface inspector? Even after looking at the code I'm not quite sure what it's for.

      Turns out my 15th anniversary mission idea has already been done once or twice before! I've been beaten to the punch once again, but I suppose that's to be expected when there's over 170 FMs out there, eh? I'm not complaining though, I love learning new tricks and taking inspiration from past FMs. Best of luck on your own fan missions!

      I wanna play Doom 3, but fhDoom has much better features than dhewm3, yet fhDoom is old, outdated and probably not supported. Damn!
      Makes me think that TDM engine for Doom 3 itself would actually be perfect.

      Maybe a bit of advice ? In the FM series I'm preparing, the two main characters have the given names Toby and Agnes (it's the protagonist and deuteragonist, respectively), I've been toying with the idea of giving them family names as well, since many of the FM series have named protagonists who have surnames. Toby's from a family who were usually farriers, though he eventually wound up working as a cobbler (this serves as a daylight "front" for his night time thieving). Would it make sense if the man's popularly accepted family name was Farrier ? It's an existing, though less common English surname, and it directly refers to the profession practiced by his relatives. Your suggestions ?
