So I played your mission and it's great, felt just like thief 1, amazing. I got so excited about it, that I started playing around with hallways. I've always loved courtyards in castles and mansions, so I started making one. I've spent about 4 hours on this so far, making and remaking the ceiling.

But now I have to go to work, so I won't be working on this probably until like Monday :(

Thanks AH. Glad you enjoyed it. :) Those ceilings are great! Really promising. I'm looking forward to seeing this progressing. One tip: we found that the shadows from these torches would be so faint and diffuse it's better not to have one at all. Try adding noshadows 1 to the torches.

 

I'm exasperated because I'm itching to do more mapping but have so many other things to do first. grrr... :angry:

@A: the ceilings needs to be a prefab :)

Even better, add a shadow-casting light to it, that simulates a soft-shadow :)

Nice to see the mission works for ya, us 64 bit OS fans don't get the benefit of the game working the FMs working at all. Very unknown error and there no way around it.

 

It's unfortunate that your system has trouble with the mod, but don't crap in my thread, you've made your point very clear in the other threads.

The Mod works on 64 Bit OS's, did we not already discuss this? Please stop spreading misinformation. We understand that it does not work on your 64 bit installation, but if you're willing to work with us we'll try to help you. If, on the other hand, you're going to do is keep saying it doesn't work at all, then nobody is going to give much thought to helping you. It's really up to you how you want to handle it. We're here, we're willing to help. Choose.

Done. After you update your local copy of DarkMod, you can find the prefab at: prefabs/architecture/roofs,canopies

If you guys can think of a better place to put the prefab, I'll change it.

      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      I wanna play Doom 3, but fhDoom has much better features than dhewm3, yet fhDoom is old, outdated and probably not supported.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 ?

      Looks like the "Reverse April Fools" releases were too well hidden. Darkfate still hasn't acknowledge all the new releases. Did you play any of the new April Fools missions?
