Springheel Posted June 6, 2019 Report Share Posted June 6, 2019 Each mapper works differently. I've taken over a harbour map from this thread but spent considerable time figuring out how the map's been put together and then reshaping it into a state I personally can work with I can attest to this also. It takes a surprising amount of effort to figure out someone else's map.

Melan Posted June 6, 2019 Report Share Posted June 6, 2019 This specific map is also particularly finicky to work with. It is organic, detailed and confusing. Quote 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Geep Posted April 24, 2020 Report Share Posted April 24, 2020 Yes, we're good now. Working with fflood and others, 2 works were retrieved, made runnable under 2.07, and considered. One seems to have particular promise. It's way too early to say much more about that. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post Dragofer Posted May 21, 2021 Popular Post Report Share Posted May 21, 2021 In accordance with grayman's wishes, two of his unfinished, stand-alone missions have been conveyed to us by his son for adoption. The Black Mage A mountain abode with a sinister magical theme. Seeking Lady Leicester A mansion amidst canals. Both missions have extensive scripting, story elements and visual/audio assets in place. So far bikerdude has expressed an interest in taking over either of these missions right away. 6 Quote FM: One Step Too Far | FM: Down by the Riverside | FM: Perilous Refuge Co-FM: The Painter's Wife | Co-FM: Written in Stone | Co-FM: Seeking Lady Leicester Dragofer's Stuff | Dragofer's Scripting | A to Z Scripting Guide | Dark Ambient Music & Sound Repository Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dragofer Posted May 26, 2021 Report Share Posted May 26, 2021 JackFarmer and bikerdude have adopted The Black Mage and Seeking Lady Leicester, respectively. bikerdude intends to begin working on it right away, while JackFarmer intends to commence in September 2021. Both have obtained the FM files. Aa a further update, I've returned Wrecker's Reach after making my FM, Perilous Refuge, from a portion of it. 2 Quote FM: One Step Too Far | FM: Down by the Riverside | FM: Perilous Refuge Co-FM: The Painter's Wife | Co-FM: Written in Stone | Co-FM: Seeking Lady Leicester Dragofer's Stuff | Dragofer's Scripting | A to Z Scripting Guide | Dark Ambient Music & Sound Repository Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dragofer Posted October 19, 2022 Report Share Posted October 19, 2022 That'd be flood. @Springheel was the one who worked on it last so he could fill you in on the challenges involved with working on that FM. 1 Quote FM: One Step Too Far | FM: Down by the Riverside | FM: Perilous Refuge Co-FM: The Painter's Wife | Co-FM: Written in Stone | Co-FM: Seeking Lady Leicester Dragofer's Stuff | Dragofer's Scripting | A to Z Scripting Guide | Dark Ambient Music & Sound Repository Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baal Posted October 22, 2022 Report Share Posted October 22, 2022 (edited) Someone send me an old version of the White Rose. I think I can do something with it. This thing is far to big and maze like, so I started to simplify and shrink the map down a bit, to make it easier to navigate. Fllood hasn't contacted me yet, but I'm assuming noone has a problem with me doing that. If somebody has a newer version, please send it to me.

datiswous Posted October 24, 2022 Report Share Posted October 24, 2022 (edited) @fllood Lots of abandoned missions have no screenshots attached, so it's a bit difficult to get an idea about the map. Is it an idea if somebody creates those screenshots and they will be added to the first post? I am willing to make them. Edit: Maybe the wiki is a good place to post the pictures? Just one page with the details and screenshots? Edited October 24, 2022 by datiswous 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Would be interesting to also see a shot of the mission in DR too for mappers to get a better idea of how much there is and how dense (brush, patch and entity counts would be good too). @Baal Have you tried sending a PM to fllood? Simply pinging them with @ only gives them a notification when they log into the forums, while a PM will also get sent to their email. 2 Quote FM: One Step Too Far | FM: Down by the Riverside | FM: Perilous Refuge Co-FM: The Painter's Wife | Co-FM: Written in Stone | Co-FM: Seeking Lady Leicester Dragofer's Stuff | Dragofer's Scripting | A to Z Scripting Guide | Dark Ambient Music & Sound Repository Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
datiswous Posted October 24, 2022 Report Share Posted October 24, 2022 (edited) Also, fllood isn't active on the forums a lot it seems, so maybe another person can give authorisation when @fllood isn't around? Just an idea. I guess I could pm this to fllood. Edit: On 5/15/2011 at 6:02 PM, fllood said: How to adopt? Send a PM to me. (Please do not contact any team member.

Obsttorte Posted October 24, 2022 Report Share Posted October 24, 2022 Sending someone a pm may not necessarely cause the person to get an e-mail, as he either could have turned the notification of or isn't using the respective e-mail anymore. 2 hours ago, datiswous said: @fllood Lots of abandoned missions have no screenshots attached, so it's a bit difficult to get an idea about the map.

I am not sure though how often abandoned work really gets adopted (and how often said adoption leads to a release). So maybe a lot of work for nothing. 1 Quote FM's: Builder Roads, Old Habits, Old Habits Rebuild Mapping and Scripting: Apples and Peaches Sculptris Models and Tutorials: Obsttortes Models My wiki articles: Obstipedia Texture Blending in DR: DR ASE Blend Exporter Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It is indeed difficult to update that page and I find it not super useful anyway, since there are so many wips that don't make it, or it's unclear if it made it in a mission.

So maybe a lot of work for nothing. We've had quite a lot of adoptions in recent memory: Perilous Refuge by me from the Crucible Campaign Black Mage by JackFarmer from Grayman Seeking Lady Leicester by bikerdude from Grayman Away 0 by Geep from Atti Baal seeking to adopt White Rose Hotel from Skacky/Springheel I'm seeing occasional updates on Blackheart Manor by bikerdude from Dram Occasionally people ask to look at abandoned maps, i.e. NeonsStyle showed an interest in what remains of Wrecker's Reach some time ago 1 hour ago, Baal said: Yes, I did send fllood a message. He has not yet logged in and read it. Maybe he didn't get around to it yet... in any case, it'd be best if more than one person had access to the abandoned missions storage in case someone has an accident or goes AWOL. They could be put on the SVN betamapper repo, for instance. 2 Quote FM: One Step Too Far | FM: Down by the Riverside | FM: Perilous Refuge Co-FM: The Painter's Wife | Co-FM: Written in Stone | Co-FM: Seeking Lady Leicester Dragofer's Stuff | Dragofer's Scripting | A to Z Scripting Guide | Dark Ambient Music & Sound Repository Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Obsttorte Posted October 24, 2022 Report Share Posted October 24, 2022 @DragoferWell, that's more often than I thought it would be. I agree that it makes sense to upload the fms somewhere, so they don't get lost. The betamapper repo seems fitting.

I mean in general, this is just an example. Or for example in the situation that somebody adapts the unfinished mission, but does not use all the assets from it. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
