It's here!!

 

It's been a long, five year journey to this point, and Broken Glass Studios is proud to present the beta of The Dark Mod. We are also releasing four missions, including a beautiful and extensive training mission where you can practice all the new TDM skills. Visit our Download pages for instructions on how to download the Mod and Missions.

 

Thanks to all those who cheered us on over the years. We hope you enjoy! Please visit our Forums to share any feedback or ask for help.

Happy birthday!

 

I never really though I would be making three missions in a year for this mod, but basically that's whats happening.

 

Obviously I got severely hooked, what a beautiful and fun waste of time.. ;)

 

Big thanks goes to everyone being a hero and contributing to this thing! :wub:

Happy birthday, Dark Mod! Here, have a screenshot:

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

Yeah, HAPPY BIRTHDAY*, DarkMod!! A shame I wasn´t there when you was born but I´ll assure you I´ll never leave you! :wub:

 

@Melan:

You´re one (alongside others) of the important "support pillars" (correct term?) for TDM and you showed again why. :) That shot represents nicely how TDM evolved, and if it´s (I presume it is) from Return to the City revisited it´s even a better example of TDM improving and evolving...

(Though you should´ve hidden the FPS-counter, and also LightGem and hud... :P )

 

*does someone know the date (of conception) when TDM-idea was set in stone and the work/forming the team 'officially' began?

 

@Shadowhide:

Don´t you see TheDarkMod as THIEF´s child? In fact TDM evolved out of an homage to the general idea of THIEF. We all can be lucky that TDM had such talented and devoted people that wouldn´t let die this idea until to that what it is today! "Don´t you see the glory in it?"

Ha, so fast Nils! ;) Cool, see who´s saying in that third post: "...but I can´t help you." :laugh:

 

edit: Really interesting, this thread. TDM was first planned as a MP-mod! :blink: I´m glad, minds were changed...

 

edit2: I love this quote from NewHorizon: :laugh:

If we could seriously bring everything up to the same level and even surpass Deadly Shadows...which I think we can....Eidos would drop bricks in their pants.

Thanks Nils, it good to have these in this thread here I think. :)

 

I only knew the second (still) ongoing thread, but hell, when will I have the time to read all that 89 pages? :laugh:

 

Ok, this will be the last 'thread-ripping', but hell, NH was on the road to BodyAwareness. :huh:

LOL! Soes somebody know who this is? Maybe we can recover the account and start posting there, we can need all the presence we can get (search google for TDM, you see it basically stops afte the release last year, which is not good)

      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?
