A few things

[AlarusLOL]

I've been following the darkmod for years and now that it's out, I have to say I'm quite impressed. Great job guys.

 

Heres a look at something I've been working on recently. It's very much a WIP, but the idea is building a level that revolves around a crypt/tomb area:

I would also like to humbly ask if/when zombies and/or necromancers will be included in the mod. I'd like to know because my level could make use of them (not that I'm in a hurry, my level is still a long way from complete).

 

One last thing. I have a vaulted ceiling built, and I'm having trouble getting the patches I used for it to texture like I want them to. Take a look at my example:

See how screwy the texture on the left patch is? I want it to look more like the square patch on the right. I've tried the surface inspector, texture tool, copying and pasting shaders, texture lock, and building the patches in different ways, but I can't get it to look natural. Any help is appreciated.

 

Thanks again for the mod guys, it's a lot of fun. It feels a bit like what thief 3 should have been.

For that messed up patch I'd try three things:

1) Select the patch and naturalize and normalize it

 

2) Try copying a texture from a brush (middlemouse) and pasting it onto the patch (ctrl+mm)

 

3) Texture tool It may take a while to get it right but if all else fails it's the only sure way to make it look normal. Take your time with it and carefully mess around with it until you get something you feel is good enough.

 

I hope those work for you! Good luck!

Well jdude, the first and second things aren't working. Those are just turning the texture into a bunch of streaks. Guess I'll keep trying to figure out texture tool. Thanks.

Zombies will very likely be added in the next update (a month or two from now). Necromancers aren't on our radar at the moment, though I'm sure they'll be coming eventually.

Sounds good Springheel. I'll be looking forward to seeing how the zombies have turned out. I really like the way they were done in Thief.
