Cool! Do I understand correctly that we will meet a new protagonist?

 

I can write some "tenets of the Lord Builder" / "stories from ye olde badasse churche" style readables later if you wish; I have some practice with them.

Come the time of peril, did the ground gape, and did the dead rest unquiet 'gainst us. Our bands of iron and hammers of stone prevailed not, and some did doubt the Builder's plan. But the seals held strong, and the few did triumph, and the doubters were lain into the foundations of the new sanctum. -- Collected letters of the Smith-in-Exile, Civitas Approved

Well, I can honestly say I've climbed the Mount Everest of fan mission database writing... or updating. Or if not the Mount Everest, then at least the Mont Blanc. Which is my long-winded way of s

Yeah, its a work in progress of mine tentatively titled "High Stakes". Now that Displacement is out, I'm hoping to get back to this. It's in decent shape, i just have to find ways to reduce the scope

Aye, I want to do something new. Ulysses' missions will not be about stealing and finding loot, but making a good plan, buying the right gear and making the perfect hitman-style assassination.

 

No disguises, though, the normal hiding mechanic is the thing. No loot. I'll also attempt a big emphasis on reactive AI, leaving evidence and witnesses will make things more difficult, so players better clean up the mess they're gonna make...

 

But yeah, because of the pc religiousness, it would be cool to have some builder books to add atmosphere. I suck writing religious text. I'm too concise to succeed in those. ;)

Sweet, I assume you decided to pickup the ideas that originated from the Hitman 5 thread. Really looking forward to this FM, Sotha. :)

 

Edit: Ah yeah, there it is. Didn't see that post.

I'm comfortable now to say I am officially working on a mission. I'm learning as I go, so I am afraid I won't be as quick as other mission designers. Judging from the TDM maps I've seen so far, I'm not sure something as huge as HHSH can be a reality, so I have scaled things back a bit. The working title is "Girl With A Rabbit." Brushwork is coming along nicely, but I have a lot of technical things to figure out.

Thanks ithel! :)

 

I've added you to the Upcoming Fan Mission wiki.

 

It's good to take a conservative view when you first start but I'd recommend that you check with Melan to see how big a mission can actually be before you decide on what you believe is possible ;) ...

I'm intrigued, Ithel!

 

Don't be discouraged - there are people like Bikerdude who are super helpful if you have troubles. =3

I have a few questions about the main website's Missions page:

 

- Is it comprehensive of all the DM missions available for download?

- Does it get updated pretty instantly with new releases?

 

Reason I ask is that sometimes there are gaps of several weeks. If it's just circumstances of timing, then I understand. I just don't want to be missing out on some good missions since that's the only spot I check.

No. Missions that infringe copyright won't go up there, and really poor quality missions shouldn't either. The wiki list is more complete in that regard.

No. The above needs to be checked first, and then it depends when someone gets around to uploading.

Just touching base. As I own a tax/accounting business, you can imagine what my life is like right now (try 80+ hour workweeks!), but when the busy season is over, I will be returning to the mission-building in earnest.

 

I didn't want you all to think I'd lost interest.

Added 7 missions to the Upcoming Fan Mission wiki:

 

http://wiki.thedarkmod.com/index.php?title=Upcoming_Fan_Missions

 

See if you can spot them ;) ...

 

I've lost track of Biker's WIP stuff so he'll need to clarify...

 

I also didn't add Springheel's WIP as I think he's only posted about it in the Status area :laugh: ... we need a teaser in the "What are you working on" thread...

 

Finally, I am highly dubious of Mr ShadowHide's WIP. He has created MANY example maps but he seems to abandon those works shortly after creation. I hope he

sticks to his guns on this one but I will wait for more WIP details before adding to the wiki B) Who knows, maybe all those examples are part of a mega-mission and

I'll be eating crow over this post...? ^_^

 

Let me know if I've fallen behind or are otherwise missing something...

I would link the TP missions together to a campaign for 1.08 - seriously. :mellow:

I originally wanted to release my own map this summer but with the udpates to St. Lucia and Whiterose that won't happen now. Whiterose should be ready by the time 1.08 is released, however.

Awesome news Springs! I'm also hugely looking forward to St. Lucia, it was a work of art and it was my first real glimpse into TDM. I was absolutely blown away by it.

I always assumed I'd taste like boot leather.

I think people will be impressed by the update. It doesn't make any serious changes to the original, but makes what was there much richer and more detailed. The gameplay is also much more challenging on the harder difficulty levels.

Oh you are such a tease! Is there a release date? Or is it set to coincide with 1.08?

This.

 

The whole reason we did the update is to turn the map into our showcase 1.08 map, so it will now be bundled with the mod download. That way people are pretty much guarrunteed to play our highest-rated map first, and get the best first impression possible.

      Things have been so bad these days for me...
      Just a year ago, I've been feeling dizzy, I thought it was nothing, today's stress, that type of thing, went to sleep...Still dizzy! 9 more days dizzy, went to doctor (I would have gone on the first day if NOT for the long appointment time)
      Said it may be Neck Dizziness...I did exercises for 6 months, no changes.
      Went to a Physical Therapist, went to another, no changes.
      I've asked my doctor for a full check this time.
      I hated yesteryear so much due to personal reasons, this year might be the same.
      To be brutally honest, I'd rather have cancer or/and chronic pain than suffer dizziness any second longer, especially when nothing helps.
      Hard to enjoy Thief when you're dizzy so I was hoping this year, Winter will be best for me.

      Hello mappers and taffers! 

      Are you still out there? It is so calm here these days and I am afraid this is no good sign.
      Proof me wrong, tell your best friend (=me), that you are still here and that you will not go away!

      Happy Labour Day, my taffing taffers & hard working mapping friends!
      And remember the poor souls who, within the Inventors’ organization, labor under Jonus’s yoke to ensure the success of that very guild! Always remember the hard workers!
