The Dark Mod has made it into the Top 100

A campaign almost certainly requires one person making the big decisions. Trying to create even a single mission by committee is frustrating and time-consuming.

 

Well anything done by committee is incredibly frustrating it's just the nature of the beast.

Well, maybe it works with lush restrictions and determinations. Each mapper can do what he wants, and only needs to stick to some concrete allowences. The whole thing is finetuned in the end, when every map is done. I don't think that there hast to be a strict script for each map.

The most realistic chance of making a campaign is a modest compromise.

 

A contest.

Each contestant produces a mission of their choice.

Must have the same character as everyone else.

Must agree it can be modified to suit the campaign, eg, story etc.

Someone with enough time manages it and works it all together.

 

We still need campaigns enabling in Dark Mod. Currently they would either be all separate FMs you play in order like NOHAT or they all link together but the only briefing and difficulty choice is at the start. The only stats are for the final level which leads to mission complete. Each level has its own title loader possibly with some briefing info.

 

[EDIT] Or of course, a cut scene like in SATC.

Currently me and Oszkar are working on a campaign. If anyone is interested we are open. Well, you have at least some skills to show up.

A contest is also a good idea if you ask me. At least, you've got a time delay in wich everyone must have done his map. Then the final work and linking could be done. But I am not sure, if there would come out some missions that are very similiar to another and thats why the variety could suffer.

 

Siyah, did you already open up a thread on your progress? Couldn't find something?
