The real St. Alban was a pagan who became a celebrated religious personality, this All Saints Day 2010 The Dark Mod places its own spin on this mythical figure.

Intro:

"'Business' has been slow lately, even more so after most of my gear got snatched during a Watch raid... I've since been forced to hit the streets and pick pockets for a living. But my luck was about to change, last night I was approached by a red hooded figure with a proposition... As we sat down in a dark corner of a nearby inn, he told to me that the Builders of St. Alban's Cathedral in the Old Quarter had recently unearthed a discovery that might lead to the final resting place of some saint." " But before I do anything, I need to get my tools and stash from the evidence room at the local watch station."

 

"with the hawks, doves will congregate

they will drop honey from the cliffs

wine will surge over the earth

the sheep will wander harmlessly with the wolf

then the wicked will rise, but to retribution" - 'scripture of St Alban'

 

There is a new version out now, see the following thread

St Albans Cathedral version 1.6

 

Build Time:

about 2-3 months.

 

Thanks:-

Huge respect to the Dark Mod team for such a great mod and for all the hard work they put into it and continue to put into it. Special thanks to Fidcal, Serpentine and others for their help on the forums and to Testing:Ugoliant, Baddcog, Grayman, Lost soul, Bjorn and Baal (for doing all the Vp work in the town.

Readables: Ungoliant and Mortemdesino for all awesome work on the readables.

Resource: Fids, Grayman, Ungoliant - guis, models & images.

Misc: Loren Schmidt - the author of the map I based the cathedral on.

Info:

# Like Thief2, some things are climable, pipes, wall vines etc.. You can also drop some of the keys, some door that are frobbabe mean there is another way inside - explore u taffer!

# Due to TDM being a lot more of a resource hog than T2 I have been forced to limit the number of Ai in the mission, but they have better placement than my last mission.

# On all difficulty levels the player starts with vertualy no tools/weapons, there are weapons to be found - read, read, read!

# For the love of all that is holy, read the briefing otherwise you will problems completing the mission.

 

Known issues:-

# This mission will have less than optimal fps at a few points on the map, mid range DX9 card(X1900/GF7800) or higher required.

# On low end PCs I recommend, V-sync is off, AA is off, Aniso is 4x or lower and that any and all background apps are closed.

Doh, I should have thought of this, well done stumpy. I will have a look into this and see what solution if any are forthcoming.   Heh, no, but the reason there is so much loot and so well hidden is

While enjoying this mission, I kept thinking... "Remind me, why are folks still trying to get the Dark Engine source code released?"

 

Yep, it is that good.

Sorry folks, looks like another major patch is in order. I've found a couple major bugs that render 2 hidden areas completely inaccessible without noclip. these should both be very quick fixes, and hopefully biker can get to these early tomorrow. sorry for the inconvenience

Your apprenticeship under Melan seems pretty evident in the changes to the look of the city.

I have not had the time to properly play the map yet (I went for the "have some sleep" option, and I am stuck at my workplace now), but Bikerdude is no apprentice; he is a master in his own right. :laugh:

Yeah well done Biker, I'll have a look at this later. Damn - only two months to build? I think I've been working on mine since forever.

 

Is this the one with my grass patches in? That's the only tiny bit I've seen if so. I must finish those off ... one day. :rolleyes:

Yup doing that RIGHT now, bloody bugs...

Hah, you are too kind - I still need to work on my gameplay and story telling skills.

It sure is..

 

Ok, as Ungoliant said another set of small bug were found - apologies for this but the deadline left bugger all time for testing, hence these last few remaining bugs..

 

@Tels

 

1.4.2 is up, :-|

Shadowhide is explicitly trolling this board, and has repeatedly expressed his contempt for TDM in general. Ignore, or better yet, ban his sorry ass for good. :rolleyes:

Man.. the mission is great but I'm getting stuck at every turn.

 

 

Found the message on the ceiling. How about that latin phrase with the handle that looks like is doing nothing :P

@ Shadowhide, you voted tolderable across the board - does any FM meet your exacting standards then..?

 

:angry:

 

Well I for one thought at the very least that the Visual pleasure, lighting, visual style, deduct bad texturing etc, in this mission was a lot better than shadowhides worthless ass screenshots of his supreme vision of how TDM missions should look.

      I posted about it before, but I think the default tdm logo video looks outdated. For a (i.m.o.) better looking version, you can download the pk4 attached to this post and plonk it in your tdm root folder. Every mission that starts with the tdm logo then starts with the better looking one. Try for example mission COS1 Pearls and Swine.

      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.
