I love those mgs2-like weather effects from this map for RTCW 1.

Add such effects with a gui overlay? Is that how it's normally done in tdm (I think so)?

I visited "Schwarzwald" ("Black forest"), a region in the South-West of Germany,

And found some nice places for you, for some inspiration:

Karls ruhe

Rasstat - the pink mansion

Strasbourg - Petite France, France

I always wished for a Thief 2 fan mission campaign which takes place after the original one. With a resurrected Karras by blood magic. A more creepy story featuring a combination of undead steampunk enemies.

Since this did never happen, I would be also happy with a few more thief 2 mechanist-like units in TDM, so please take this inspirational picture. 😁 I always loved the interesting gameplay mechanics that were introduced with Karras' units. I know that new NPCs are always unlikely to happen, since it's modeling, rigging, animating, sound,... I know, I know - but never say never. Hopefully there's another Karras enthusiast out there seeing this and starting to work on humanoid robots for The Dark Mod 😅

I always wondered about Karras's helmet in T2. Is there an in-game explanation for why it has such an elongated cranium? Is he supposed to be a mutant with a big brain, or is it just hubris? Did he steal his helmet from the "Precursors" of the Lost City and it serves as an oblique reference to skull-binding practiced in several real life ancient cultures?

Sorry if this is off-topic.

Tbh for me it always felt like a design decision with not too much of an afterthought. I really like your way of thinking - that it was some kind of artifact or replica of the precursors. That's really interesting and blew my mind while reading. I wish there were more information about this!

Paxton's Crystal Palace; not only because its the zenith of 19th century industrial architecture; but it would push the TDM engine AND map-maker to the limits to even attempt it.
(Perhaps a cut-down section is only seen from inside/outside is more practical?)

      I finished DOOM - The Dark Ages the other day. It is a decent shooter, but not as great as its predecessors, especially because of the soundtrack.

      I moved from Manjaro Linux (rolling release) to Linux Mint (LTS). One of the reasons was that I found the updates a bit too often and long. But now on Mint I get updates every day, although they're usually small updates.
