I couldn´t believe that there is someone with a darker gamma-setting than me,

[wise-ass-mode]Gamma settings in Doom 3 are always neglected for screenshots. You'll have to raise gamma again in your preferred image editing program, e.g. Irfanview.[/wise-ass-mode]

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 ...

[even-more-wise-ass-mode]That´s what I meant and did with 'lifting the veil of darkness' and most other screens seem to be lighted up a little (I do so always) and I can name at least one who did that with recent posted shots and said so...

Season's greetings - preview time!

This should tide people over until release - which, while it will probably take place in January 2011, is coming soon. :)

Does anyone know what's going on with my stone railing texture? The black areas aren't getting masked out, but it renders properly in DarkRadiant, just not in-game. I'm using "alphaTest 0.5" with a .DDS and the alpha channel is saved correctly. Again, it shows up fine in the editor, just not in-game.

RadiatorYang: looking good. Since the scene doesn't look too resource-intensive, I think the rails could be constructed of models instead of using a texture. There is a good object at architecture>handrails>rail1.lwo. It is made of wood, but it probably wouldn't be too hard to create an alternative with a marble/stone skin if you wanted to.

RadiatorYang: Nice, and quite a different style from anything we've seen yet.

Check you use texture format DXT5 for DDS with transparency.

I agree that I don't think it's going to be too bad a performance hit to make those railings & maybe the ceiling flourishes out of patches or models (read up on converting brushwork to models too) and it'd be worth it. It is nice to see a new style being built.

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

A little fog does wonders. What's with the banding though? I thought we fixed that.

Having those arches over the windows sit tight in the wall isntead of having a box shaped crop-out would probably be a good idea for aesthetics, I don't know if there's any vertex manipulation in dark radiant though, but it probably isn't too hard.

 

EDIT- Really loving that fire escape by the way! I have never seen any of those in real life so they always seem cool to me.

Stumpy, those are great. Especially like that last one, the third picture:

What is your ETA? The "Upcoming Fan Missions" Wikiboard only has "Unknown"? Any way you can update that? I like how many authors (see, for example, Sotha) give a breakdown of the development in terms of percentages of the various aspects (basic geomtry; ai placement; story/texts, etc.).

 

In other words these latest pics have got me looking forward...

@stumpy: I like the shots. The first scene looks a little unnatural though, because everything is lined up perfectly rectangular.

As far as I know, the colorbanding is visible in vanilla D3 as well. JC's initial HDR implementation just amplified this artifact. I remember rich_is_bored saying somewhere that this banding is actually only fixable with the help of HDR, which kind of makes sense, if you think about it.

there's no lights in the fog pictures except the ambient light set at 6, so the pictures were brightened in a picture editor.

and the boxes outside the warehouse arn't real and are terrain brushes.

release date unknown still, there's a big area that is just caulk brushes, need to add some grass coloured patches to that part, but most of the buildings are done, just got a crackpot inventors house to do.

I actually like the banding, adds character. The banding is most likely related to rounding errors in the calculations in the renderer not something we can fix.

 

I agree in the shot, but in-game, when its moving, imo it looks terrible.

      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!
