Did "Lockdown Part 1" ever get released?

Considering it is the anniversary of its first announcement (really!), is this mission still being worked on? The latest news in Summer put it as "soon", and the initial shots were pretty promising...

I've got the Beta and it's fantastic in my eyes.

 

I think GameDevGoro just has really high standards and wants to perfect it.

 

(It's another brutally difficult one that beats me senseless though... :laugh:)

Please visit TDM's IndieDB site and help promote the mod:

It's a sad waste. It was effectively finished as I recall with only minor fixes needed but it could have been released as it was I believe. I think it was held back because Part 2 was planned but presumably never finished. Great pity.

 

I'll pm GameDevGoro as he is still active in these forums. I can fix up Part 1 myself if he doesn't want to.

Very good to hear that! :laugh:

Lockdown is one of my favorite missions. It's not really big, but is has a lot of stuff going on and is very carefully planned and requires *major* thinking to do ghosting. I'd say GameDevGoro is at least on par with Sotha in that respect.

On a slightly related note, maybe kick out Close Mouthed Shadows at the same time? Havent tested it in 1.03, but I think you have the last version I touched.

Well because Closedmouth Shadows is a den of thieves type FM I've been planning to modify it slightly as Thief's Den 5 as a prequel to Manor Royale. I think I only need to add a readable or two and modify the briefing and possibly an objective to get some info about the royal loot in MR.

Update on Lockdown 1 is GDD has passed me his latest files and I'll finish it off and get it released over the next few weeks - asap. Not had chance to look at it and I'm in the middle of something in my own FM I don't want to leave and get back into later. So I'll finish that first then get to this over the next few days.

Sure thing. You can take it over if you want? How are you for time? Maybe you're busier than I am?

 

Also, did you beta test this before? It would be best if someone who had played it and read the feedback fixed it up. I can't remember whether we had a forum for this. Also I don't know if anything has been added or done to it since.

Just on the off-chance you need the open beta version, I still have it (of course!). I could send it to you, should you have need for that.

      I tried to upscale the TDM logo video. First try:

      briefing_video.mp4 You can test it ingame by making a copy of the core tdm_gui.mtr and place it in your-tdm-root/materials/ , then edit line 249 of that file into the location where you placed the new briefing.mp4 file.
      What I did was I extracted all the image files, then used Upscayl to upscale the images using General photo (Real-Esrgan) upscale setting and then turn it back into a video.
      I might have to crop it a bit, the logo looks smaller on screen (or maybe it's actually better this way?). My video editor turned it into a 16:9 video, which I think overal looks better than 1:1 video of original.

      Finally got round to publishing a tutorial on baking normal maps in Blender, since most of the ones we have are inaccessible or years out of date.

      The FAQ wiki is almost a proper FAQ now. Probably need to spin-off a bunch of the "remedies" for playing older TDM versions into their own article.

      Was checking out old translation packs and decided to fire up TDM 1.07. Rightful Property with sub-20 FPS areas yay! ( same areas run at 180FPS with cranked eye candy on 2.12 )
