All the wiki entries point to Missions page where your mirrors are listed so the Bloodgate mirrors in the actual wiki are kinda redundant though it's convenient.

 

There are a bunch of missions missing those so I'll fix that for the sake of consistency.

 

As for the new privileges... if you've got a sharp eye, you will notice some improvements to many of the screens for the missions in the missions database... :ph34r:

The right way to do a speed-built mission is to think small (things will become more complex on their own). Build a mission with a few small buildings. A small cave. A cramped monastery. Do the big st

Sorry guys, I'm out.   But I'm still working on it and hopefully I can finish it in the next few months.

Two months to judge? I dunno, wouldn't one be enough? This way, the announcement of the winners may feel a bit like an afterthought...

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

One month for 5 missions doesn't sound too bad. It's not like they're very big.

So much frontpage time at Moddb!

 

It's because all the FPS modders are playing Battlefield 3.

 

^_^

 

All the better for us, I feel... ;-P

Hey Xcen.

 

Are you planning on merging that work with this:

 

http://forums.thedarkmod.com/topic/10003-so-what-are-you-working-on-right-now/page__view__findpost__p__260325

 

...or are they still two different developments?

Umm, I know it's late, but I went to make a Steam announcment about the contest/missions.

 

However it's hard to find which missions are actually in the contest.

 

How about for next contest we:

 

1-sticky the contest announcement topic. I found this once, and had to back track to find it again, lol.

 

2- when the missions are released add them to the first page so we have an easy to find list instead of trying to find each forum post.

I know last time I posted contest on Steam I got it wrong like 3 times in a row.

This time I announced the released entries over at moddb but making the thread sticky would help too. I'll also update the 1st post as suggested.

 

Thanks.

 

Just in case, the entries are:

 

House in Blackbog Hollow (stumpy)

Samhain night on Bone Hill (pranqster)

A Night to Remember (Fieldmedic)

The Creeps (Mortem Desino)

Dragon's Claw (Bikerdude)

Not sure if this is the place to ask but here goes. Why are the polls different from each other? In some it say's I've voted (Creeps, A Night to Remember) yet I can not see how nor can I see what others have voted. Yet in others (Dragons Claw) I can see how I voted as well as how others have voted? Just curious.

There is an option to set the poll to make votes public but my browser didn't render it apparently (or I missed it) so the template poll above isn't public. I imagine that some combination of either the issue I mentioned or authors trying to remain consistent with the template are at fault for polls that are missing public voter detail. Then, of course, some of the polls were built to be more consistent with the previous contests. Now we have our gumbo of both public and private votes. (Apologies.)

      Turns out my 15th anniversary mission idea has already been done once or twice before! I've been beaten to the punch once again, but I suppose that's to be expected when there's over 170 FMs out there, eh? I'm not complaining though, I love learning new tricks and taking inspiration from past FMs. Best of luck on your own fan missions!

      I wanna play Doom 3, but fhDoom has much better features than dhewm3, yet fhDoom is old, outdated and probably not supported. Damn!
      Makes me think that TDM engine for Doom 3 itself would actually be perfect.

      Maybe a bit of advice ? In the FM series I'm preparing, the two main characters have the given names Toby and Agnes (it's the protagonist and deuteragonist, respectively), I've been toying with the idea of giving them family names as well, since many of the FM series have named protagonists who have surnames. Toby's from a family who were usually farriers, though he eventually wound up working as a cobbler (this serves as a daylight "front" for his night time thieving). Would it make sense if the man's popularly accepted family name was Farrier ? It's an existing, though less common English surname, and it directly refers to the profession practiced by his relatives. Your suggestions ?

      Looks like the "Reverse April Fools" releases were too well hidden. Darkfate still hasn't acknowledge all the new releases. Did you play any of the new April Fools missions?

      Hope everyone has the blessing of undying motivation for "The Dark Mod 15th Anniversary Contest". Can't wait to see the many magnificent missions you all may have planned. Good luck, with an Ace!
