Wow ocn!

 

If someone asked me what mood that the words "The Dark Mod" evoke, that would be pretty much it!

 

THIS NEEDS TO BE RELEASED! :wub:

In the Vertical Contest, Bikerdude helped Fieldmedic with his mission.

 

 

Naaaah, don't pull Biker into that mess :D He only helped me with the visportaling and he pointed out the obvious unrealistic nature of that mission ;)

 

Is it possible to break a mission? I can understand that it really can be a pain in the ass to find certain leaks, but even I cannot be accused for breaking maps...

 

ocn, of course you shall continue on that mission!

Ha ha!

 

It looks like our contest mappers will be able to use the new Object LOD and SEED system in their missions after all.

 

I have posted the release article at Moddb but more will follow (not yet authorized):

agreed. This contest's missions can be so freaking awesome!! I believe 3 months mapping duration is enough for learning & implementing these stuff.

  • 2 weeks later...

After getting knighton's updated, rather than doing something useful, I found myself dropping a few brushes into an empty map.

 

The first few strokes on the canvas looked promising. I'm upgrading my contest entry inclination from 'definately not' into a 'maybe.'

You can run, but you can't hide! ;)

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

No. I am working on a large mission that takes up all my editing time.

good news

 

I hope this will be another city mission with black&white lightning :rolleyes:

 

 

 

Melan is not the author of "The Transaction"... you are taking a swipe at the wrong FM author...

I don't think it was meant as a swipe; rather, a reference to the strongly desaturated lighting style used in Return to the City and Dromed missions I had worked on. To answer the question, the mission I'm working on will have a mixture of saturated and desaturated lights: more of the former in the exteriors and more of the latter in the interiors.

 

Also, it still needs a lot of work, so don't expect it immediately.

Yes, I see part of the issue... For some reason the :rolleyes: emoticon is used in different contexts depending on the nationality of the person posting...

 

For an American the :rolleyes: emoticon means "yeah, whatever" or is similarly dismissive or condescending.

 

 

Also... that would be "lighting" rather than "lightning" (the latter being an electrical discharge from the sky... )

Haha, so we've reached the point where we discuss emoticon interpretation now? :D I'd say it's context dependent. In this case, it's an innocent smile and he wants to express that he looks up to Melan. :)

 

By the way Shadowhide, regardless of maybe a little lacking knowledge of the english language and the initial ignorance when you first came here, I think it's great that you participate so much in our community by now. I am glad you changed your mind about TDM. Spread the word! :)

      Finally got my PC back from the shop after my SSD got corrupted a week ago and damaged my motherboard. Scary stuff, but thank goodness it happened right after two months of FM development instead of wiping all my work before I could release it. New SSD, repaired Motherboard and BIOS, and we're ready to start working on my second FM with some added version control in the cloud just to be safe!

      I've updated the articles for your FMs and your author category at the wiki. Your newer nickname (DeTeEff) now comes first, and the one in parentheses is your older nickname (Fieldmedic). Just to avoid confusing people who played your FMs years ago and remember your older nickname. I've added a wiki article for your latest FM, Who Watches the Watcher?, as part of my current updating efforts. Unless I overlooked something, you have five different FMs so far.

      I've finally managed to log in to The Dark Mod Wiki. I'm back in the saddle and before the holidays start in full, I'll be adding a few new FM articles and doing other updates. Written in Stone is already done.

      You cannot receive PMs. Could you please be so kind and check your mailbox if it is full (or maybe you switched off the function)?
