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-

As Im long overdue for a screenshot, here is something Im currently working on

 

The more graveyards / potential undead horrors I see, the better! Looking good! >:-)

"No proposition Euclid wrote,

No formulae the text-books know,

Will turn the bullet from your coat,

Or ward the tulwar's downward blow

Strike hard who cares—shoot straight who can—

The odds are on the cheaper man."

There are going to be loads of undead, so the gameplay will be challenging. Along with a small story and some loot.

I had a dream last night that I played it but it was so full of zombies even I couldn't get past the first section! x-D

also the story changed some times and 7upMan is hard working (hopefully...an 7upMan: scherz) on this point.

 

LOL I'm really working on this.

 

Also, how's the status on the pagan AIs? I do remember that there is at least one model. Is it in working condition? Even better, can it have different heads, to increase the numbers?

There is only one pagan model in game atm. It can swap heads (though there is only one distinctively pagan head). There is another pagan warrior model that needs to be rigged, but I haven't made it a priority as we have no pagan vocals. Someone was working on a script for male pagans, but I never saw a completed version. I wrote up one for female pagans and gave it to someone, but they never got back to me.

The main question is: can the existing model fight? Also, what weapons are in the game that a pagan AI could use?

Superb conversation vid by Mortem...

 

 

@nbohr1more, dude you gotta put this up on moddb.

@Springs, you gotta post this on the main website

 

Aside from some timing of the responses during the beginning that was awesome! I love how the two of them walk and talk together. :wub:

I always assumed I'd taste like boot leather.

Yes. He currently has a hand axe. I'm not sure what other pagan-ish weapons are ready for use...I think there's a rough spiked club.

So to sum this up: There is one fully-rigged pagan model, and another one that is not rigged and can only be used as a corpse? What about the female, you said that you wrote vocal linesfor a female pagan. Does this female model already exist, or did you do it in advance?

Open DR and check it yourself and don't ask bad questions in wrong thread

 

 

Proceed with caution!

Yes. No, it cannot be used at all. Yes. It was in advance. :)

For no apparent reason I feel the urge to mention that "The Grouch", the FM's preliminary name, is progressing slowly but surely.

@nbohr1more, just use download helper (firefox addon) and you can download the video yourself.

 

Thanks.

 

I had something like this awhile back but Youtube figured-out how to block it.

 

The video is at Moddb now :)

How is conversation interruption handling? Those two guards seem to have a somewhat complex routine involving talking, halting, walking around the circular room, specifically moving to where the vase isn't, etc. If you interrupt them they enter combat mode and chase you, and if you lose them are they supposed to default to some post-convo routine? Mappers might want to include "do not interrupt" objective for important convos (vs funny ones like Mortem's).

In the lower right part of the picture, is this a window? If so, why is it on street level? Apart from that, from what I can see in my brightly lit room, the shot looks beautiful.

      Well, this is just sad...I was not able to play any Thief or TDM whatsoever, why? Too busy the past 2 months, this month I'm not as busy BUT it's also very heaty in my place.
      I can't play Thief when it's not at least 15c or lower, the game demands to be played when it's cold for...Well, may sound stupid but I'll just say it, for that "immersion".
      It's kinda like playing Quake during Summer, which unless it's the Summer Jam mod, I don't think it's as fun.

      The preliminary working titles for the missions in my now-in-development Partners in Crime series: 
      - Partners in Crime 1: A Mere Trinket
      - Partners in Crime 2: Beacon Burglary
      - Partners in Crime 3: In the Bleak Midwinter
      - Partners in Crime 4 (5 ?): Fishy Dealings
      - Partners in Crime 5 (4 ?): A Thief in the Night

      No title stealing, please.  In return, I promise to finish these. I do stress the preliminary part. Beyond the broad strokes storyline, plot, objectives, briefings and the (currently built) layouts of these FMs, I haven't fully decided about every single detail yet, including the exact order of the missions (4 and 5 might switch places, with the story adjusted accordingly). I want the overall plot to be plotted out a bit in advance and not suffer too much from inserting prequels later. I also prefer to let my FM building fill out part of the details naturally.

      Currently working on the second FM, and once I do enough work on the current prototype, I'll work on the first one, until I get that one released. Then complete the second one, get that one ready for release (hopefully) a few months later, and so on. I want most of the early missions to be fairly small and confined, and get a bit bigger as I grow more confident in my FM making skills.

      Though there is an overarching storyline to this series, the missions themselves are mostly episodic in nature. They factor into the character development of the two main characters I'll have in the series, but it's the kind of continuity where the mission's own plot and story wouldn't depend on it.
