[ Sorry for my english ]

 

I think TDM look better whit:

 

[1] Restart Mission Buttonrolleyes.gif

[2] Different colour in difficulty choise: white ... white ... white i don't see difference when selected!ph34r.gif

[3] A check button in FM list for finished or played FM (or better... for new mission found in FM directory)? Why? Because in the future i think we have much mission and sometimes Mission's name is not equal to pk4 file (like NHAT)rolleyes.gif

[4] Scouting Orb or a item for spy whitout lean!wub.gif

[5] Female civilian wub.gif

 

[6] Why F5 key load the mission if my shortcut is F9 for load and F4 for save? In the dark (when i play) of my house i push often F5 instead F4!mad.gif

 

[7] Loading mission is too slow? Ok... why can't read objective in this time? tongue.gif

 

Ok, sorry again for my bad bad english and thanks to read me.

1, 5 and probably 4 are going to be in the next release. 6 is not an issue since you can remap keys in the main menu.

(Menu voices are ok- no gamma or brightness adjustment need i thing, in game is perfect for me)

 

And this is difficulty level screen: expert is now selected but the color is just different by normal and hard.

Fidcal, what he wants is a different colour for each selected difficulty-highlight. F.e.: easy=green, Hard=blue & Expert=red or sth like that.

 

That with F5 is strange, so put down the console (ALT+Strg+*the_key_left_of_'1'* on german keyboard it´s "^", but I think on others it´s "~", IIRC?) and type "unbind f5". Also you can type "list bindings" to see all binded keys.

 

Alternately you can look into the doomconfig.cfg-file with notepad, but make sure that no FM is installed. At the beginning of the file you can see all bindings and delete the ones you want. But take care for messing with that file. Make a backup just in case.

I also wanted the buttons more easily distinguishable, e.g. when you press "Expert", it is highlighted quite a bit more. It is just that nobody really has time to work on it, and I am afraid to change it, because it will be endless discussions (which color, how bright/dark) and in the end my change will just be reverted and I wasted 2hours of my life in vain...

Sorry, 3. That's planned for some future release, isn't 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?
