The contest has been a horrible failure. Did we get any "beginner" missions, I ask you? No, we did not! All we got was this... this advanced professional stuff!

Welcome everyone to the Pre-Release-Party for the Beginner's Contest 2012!   I'll celebrate this with posting a new map screenshot every hour until 12 o'clock (german time). Let us reveal the miste

Yeah, he's got a point. I say we just pack it in and close down the mod. You guys gave it your best shot, but things just didn't work out.

Welcome aboard - but not nearly large enough! :) Hopefully people will keep coming, and I suspect the fun part will start soon, when people get a bit more advanced on the geometry part and come back here to discuss how to add some interesting stuff to the missions.

I wonder if someone agrees to do look over my map when I'm done with the basic brush building. I would do the exchange and discussions via PM, because it wouldn't make sense to upload it for everyone to see already (guess that would reduce the fun because of the "oh I have seen this all before during beta" - effect).

 

Guess I'll finish the brush work over christmas / new year and just want someone to have a look over it before I do the lightning, entities, etc....

 

Hope that's not asked too much. :blush:

Hehe, you're new to the forums but yet warning me about Shadowhide :laugh: I think it's enough to send it to only one user for review. So in that case the first one wins. But maybe two opinions are better. So why not sending it to both..? Hm we'll see - I'm curious anyway :blush:

Half an hour to an hour a day should get most of the geometry done by the time the contest is nearing the final few weeks... (hopefully)

Isn't it a bit early to say that? :D

 

Maybe unless a miracle happens, but I've just got this dejected feeling right now that either I wont be able to find employment in time before rent money runs out (which is not long), or will never escape the indentured servitude machine of corporate shitheads that pay a pittance for the privelige of helping them further fuck the rest of my fellow Americans up the ass. The system is designed to repress me from advancing myself, and does a really good fucking job. Hell, I already have an A.A.S degree, for all the shit-ton of help that's given me to tread fuckin water. Doesn't help that there's thousands of local competitors all trying to climb out of the poverty pit at the same time. *sigh*, some days, I just don't know...

Regarding the importance of concept drawings before actual mapping, I thought I should share some of my own here, and assure anyone feeling the same that I am utterly unable to create anything directly on a computer, I find that it takes me a LOT more time to come up with stuff on the fly, and they generally lack any sense of direction, simply because there was no planning. I would again suggest anyone having trouble creating shape like that to take some time to sketch your ideas freely on a piece of paper, it gets much easier then to register, by trial and error, that feeling you wanted; putting it into DR afterwards is a much simpler and faster task. At least, thats how it always work for me.

I like the concept drawings. :) Mine are cruder, but I also make them.

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

      Hello, Since this track is originally from TDM,i think it's better to ask here than TTLG. Do you guys have the full version of this ambient track?

      Bachelor Mapping Challenge!
      The girlfriend will be away to her mum's place for almost a week, which means more mapping time for me! I'm planning a speed build. Hope it will go my way
      I'm starting by downloading 2.11. Don't know if I'm going to use any fancy new stuff. Just want to crack those itching map muscles that has gone dry and dead since almost a year's worth of no-mapping

      The cool part of Canonical's Snap, is that my machine can now ray-trace an entire (simple) scene faster than it takes the web browser to start!

      Fm idea (braindump)
      "Experience the life of a mission builder"
      Esentially there are finnished elements placed somewhere in storage in the game and you have to place them in the correct places, build some walls here and there, add guard routes, give them their correct speech lines, etc. Decorate the places.. all in-game. lots of fun.. 😉
      If you do it right in the end you can play the mission.
      (would be even cooler if a thief-ai could play the mission, making it some kind of tower-defence game)
       
      This first started as an idea for an aquarium builder mission where-in you have to fill an empty aquarium with sand, waterplants, castles water and swimming fish. But above idea is more fun.

      Dear ChatGPT, What are The Builders in the Dark Mod?
       
      The Builders is a popular game mode in the video game community called "Dark Mod," which is a fan-made tribute to the classic "Thief" series of stealth games. In this game mode, players assume the role of builders who construct structures in a dark and ominous environment while trying to avoid detection by patrolling guards.
      The Builders game mode is unique in that it offers players the opportunity to create and design their own levels using the in-game tools and resources provided. Players can experiment with different building materials, construct intricate traps and puzzles, and create their own unique gameplay experiences.
      While The Builders game mode is not an official part of the Dark Mod, it has become one of the most popular and well-loved aspects of the game, thanks to its emphasis on creativity, strategy, and stealth.
