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 ...

Not to be too picky, but I think you'd need to make the oven space bigger. I don't think someone would build a 5-tone oven and then only add space to bake only one bread. You'd need an aweful lot of coal/wood just to bake one bread, while with the like twice the amount of fuel you could bake 10 or 20 breads at once :)

 

Here are a couple inspirtional websites (german only, sorry) from authentic bread bake houses:

Here is a thread from two guys building their own:

My main inspiration is a video of a tudor house where the oven is built into the wall of the house. Yes, looking at it again the actual ovens are somewhat bigger. I'll review that tomorrow but not excited about the prospect of having to redo that.

OK, We've been needing some of these

 

post-1981-128240529293_thumb.jpg

 

But I don't know what they are called. For the corners of roofs.

 

This one is around 275 tris, I figure it's good for prominant/fancy/well lit buildings.

 

I plan to make a few very low poly and/or alpha versions that are just good for silohettes.

 

I'm also putting them into arch/fencing.. as they are kindof fencing for roofs/barriers

 

So if anyone knows the name so I can google more styles that would be awesome, and if anybody has objections to being in fencing, didn't want to start a new folder and didn't find a better folder.

A Google image search for "wrought iron" gives a lot similar objects, including fences and gates.

Add "roof" to that and it gives at least some on rooftop wrought iron decorations.

Maybe make it in two parts so it can be made to oscillate back and forth slowly in the wind? I suppose basically they have fixed NSEW pointers plus the turning thing on top. Oh yea, if you do, make sure North is erm.. the green direction I think it is to save mappers having to turn it! :P

Now enlarged the left oven. They are both very deep so this is reasonably substantial and would take a side of pork imo. I decided to leave the right hand oven the smaller size. I think it adds character and the two ovens can be regarded for different cooking tasks - small pot roast or a huge Christmas goose. Also changed the texture on the doors. I wasn't going to use rust before but since they didn't have stainless steel I guess most iron would rust up except for knives, swords etc which got sharpened up I guess. Anyway, a bit more character. I'll see if I can blacken the insides more. They didn't have Mr. Muscle in those days either.

Yeah, that looks quite good now, definitely need to add the black soot on the inside.

I like the two sizes.

 

I wouldn't use rust though, that's heavy rust but an oven is gonna be hot and dry. Iron takes water to rust...

 

there's a blue steel, plain grey steel or possibly a black steel (think streetlamp tex, don't think it's got any critical details on it)

OK, rust removed. This is iron_rough which has plenty of character and looks well worn and somewhat blackened plus my grime on the inside.

 

The hogshead is just for scale. Don't know if I'm going to include that. oven should be big enough if it can take that.

That's a good use of textures and decals.

Fidcal, I think the oven doors were made of cast iron. If anything, the doors should be blackened because of a) the excess fat that is burned and B) grime from the burning wood/coal. I like the second version with the rough iron better, but maybe there's a way to make it more blackened and grimy.

My Eigenvalue is bigger than your Eigenvalue.

Yes it's a compromise. If it were really blackened with baked on grease it would be hard to see in the shadow or even with the lantern so you lose some character. So I think I'll settle for this.

 

I'm about finished with this. I'll kick it around for a few weeks before uploading as prefabs because it is complex enough I feel as soon as I upload I'll find something I want to change. If anyone is desperate for either the range or the oven though I can upload it.

 

Meanwhile I'm decorating the rest of the kitchen then I want to move on to another room or it will be Christmas 2011 before this is done! :laugh:

      Taking a break to alleviate burnout. In retrospect, I probably shouldn't have jumped into a map-making contest so quickly after just finishing another project and especially with my busy schedule, but I do believe I have something that the community will enjoy. No clue if I'll be able to finish it on time for the competition if I factor in a break, but I'd rather take my time and deliver something of quality rather than engage in development crunch or lose part of the map's soul to burnout.
