thanks everyone for good words. I'll keep them in my mind.

 

I do hope you continue what you have started Siyah - the idea of a contest is to encourage mapping, not to make people feel bad about finishing. =-)

And you totally should. Again, very encouraging!

And to you too, Xcen I say the same thing - don't be discouraged - I love seeing things being made. =-3

Awesome screenshot, Xcen. Hope the actual FM will be on par. In that case, it will be more than worth the wait.

My Eigenvalue is bigger than your Eigenvalue.

Thanks SP! Even work in progress missions are good to see as it gives people ideas and gives them a chance to give encouragment. back. =-3

 

I love libraries designed like that, reminds me of the Oxford Union library a bit.

I must say, even with the tight deadline, this contest has been one of the most successful (and we haven't even seen the Bikerdude + Flanders FM yet). The missions are tight, well-written, look great and are a whole lot of fun. I am really happy it has turned out so well.

Siyah!

 

You are such a perfectionist :laugh:

 

Step back and repeat after me:

 

"I am SiyahParsomen. I craft masterful spaces and beautiful scenes. The Dark Mod community is dying to play what I've shown. I am good enough. I am strong enough. And gosh darn, people like me!"

 

Oh well.

 

Keep posting those pics too.

 

And we'll keep hoping to see the scenes for ourselves. ^_^

Digging that library, Siyah, digging it indeed. I'll have to spank Fieldmedic into building something similar for me one of these days, just so I can write a whimsical tale of a scribe trying to loan a book while dodging overzealous, sword-armed librarians....

 

One of these days....

Moin,

 

I mirrored the last two missions here:

http://bloodgate.com/fms/antr.pk4

 

Fidcal, could you please enter them in the DB in TDM?

I added those to the missions pages. (Spiffy new privileges :ph34r: ).

 

I'm not sure if that propagates to your mirrors system. :huh:

:D good for you, I am not sure I ever got permissions for that system.

It's just a file dump, so if you add the links to thedarkmod.com, the in-game downloader will know to download them, also people will see the link on the webpage. So all is good.

 

Only thing missing now is the wiki page, but I am not sure anyone still uses it - the ingame downloader is much more easier to use.

      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)?
