Upcoming Fan Missions

[nbohr1more]

I have created a Wiki article to record Upcoming Fan Missions. The bulk of what is listed is from screen-shot evidence in the "What are you working on?" thread. If your work is represented, please either sign-up for a Wiki account to edit this list or post your corrections to this topic.

 

Thanks,

UH YEAH!!!

 

THAT'S A GOOD IDEA

 

*Love that very much!!! Thank you!!

 

EDIT: you could also create a column for: "in progress since" because most maps are done when they are done (haha: Duke N. forever)

 

or/and "special information" (if it's a campaign or somebody's first map, or if he's using a special gimmick)

EDIT2: and size is not very important - my opinion

Oi, you forgot my 2 wip missions, oldtown and cathedral - So I will update the info after I have release my contest mission.

 

brilliant slide show page with the TDM sounds btw

Saving the best for last

 

(wasn't sure if they are a campaign or separate?)

 

Edit: Wiki Corrected?

[Bikerdude]

dont know at this point, would be cool if I could make them a campaign.

 

Also you might want to change the links where its refs the forum, to the actual post of screenies of said mission.

[nbohr1more]

Some screen-shots are blocked for me so I may have missed a few in the WIP thread as well .

[Melan]

That's bound to be a useful resource. One problem, you seem to be linking missions to threads instead of individual posts. You can get the correct links for those in the upper right corner (e.g. #6, #22 etc.).

Thanks Melan!

 

Back to work on this one then.

[Fidcal]

I've added and modified mine into two: Thief's Den 5 will be a relaunch of LordSavage's FM to work with the Dark Mod release and slightly added to, to be Den 5. Then Den 6 will be Manor Royale. I hope to release them together.

[Sotha]

I updated my release date.

 

For now, I am using Thomas Porter as the name of the series, according to the player character.

[nbohr1more]

Thanks for the updates!

 

(Although I think Fidcal's updates were the cause of the update conflict that erase all my forum post revisions... )

 

Keep updating that wiki taffers!

[grayman]

I corrected the spelling on mine and added a "release date" comment.

 

Question re: Size. Is this the size of the *.map file, or the size of the complete *.pk4 file with all the goodies in it?

[nbohr1more]

Based on the Fan Missions wiki I'd say the full pk4 but the community will be happy with any size estimate at all

[LEGION]

Thanks, NilsBohr, that´s quite a list!

[nbohr1more]

You're welcome LEGION.

 

Thank the FM authors for leaving their hints

[Melan]

Note that dSpair has said repeatedly that his "Winter-themed FM" was just for testing purposes, and he has lost even that map file, so it is pretty sure we will not be seeing it.

[nbohr1more]

I will remove dSpair's entry.

 

I have added all the post specific links.

 

Added Sprinheel's mission?

(hope that wasn't an early Builder's Influence shot???)

[jaxa]

I'm starting to lose track of Dark Mod missions. Hell yes!

[nbohr1more]

It's a cool feeling jaxa !

 

That list is not inclusive of the soon(?) to be release vertical contest entrant(s?). I will post in the contest thread soon to see if any of the stragglers are giving up on their maps or if they still plan to release 'em someday (unless they want to answer here).

[SiyahParsomen]

great idea nbohr1more!

 

I'm working on my contest map slowly, and estimated time is release of tdm 1.03. I want to finish a fm so badly.

[nbohr1more]

Thanks SiyahParsomen!

 

Updating and adding Castle Murdenstain...

On size:

I can not see any benefit in estimating file size in this list. Instead it would be fun to know the size of the mission the mapper is aiming for.

 

Some suggestion comparisons:

Small: thiefs den 1, outpost

Medium: beleaguered fence, builders influence

Large: the heart, the alchemist

[Fidcal]

Yes, I agree. Nobody is going to know the file size until very near the end.

 

[edit] I've put S & L in for my two provisionally.

[Sotha]

I also put medium in my map.

 

Also, took the liberty of changing "Size (MB)" -> "Mission Size"

[SneaksieDave]

Cool, nice job. Couple of suggestions:

1. the page is currently orphaned. Maybe give it a category, and maybe (maybe?) link to it from waaaay at the bottom of the FM list (and share a link back)? Not sure on that one. Others' opinions?

2. maybe some kind of default order. Probably not useful to have a bunch of 'unknowns' be alphabetical, but it's better than nothing. Then again maybe it could/should default sort by author?

 

Does this list include other things like models, voice sets etc? Or should that be separate. Hm... probably separate, or maybe turn the page into a couple of tables (missions and other?) Just thinking out loud.

 

Amusing to see my name on there. Waiting on an FM for me is like waiting for hell to freeze over, but what the heck, I'll play along. The BOD mission is a 'maybe someday' I suppose. More likely is the other I'm working on, which I'd categorize as a tomb. There's also a city I started, but I haven't touched that in half a year at least. I got a case of the easy burnouts!

 

More likely yet is separate bunches of rooms I make based on pictures I like but then do nothing more with, rinse and repeat.

 

Nice idea and list though, good contribution. Kinda lights a fire under the arse.
