Best community integration in a modification

 

Without communities mods would be nothing more then a static object on the web, communities are responsible for keeping mods relevant, motivating the developers and expanding on the mod in their own way. To win the Community Award the mod needs to support the fanbase around the modification giving the masses a chance to participate within the overall design of the mod.
is the most deserving this year.

Building a community is quite a difficult and drawn out process, it first takes a good product to bring in people, then a reason for those people to stick around.
has an amazing collection of user created levels and theme packs built for competitions held by the developers. A shining example of how communities are important for all mods!

 

 

Well deserved!

Task is not so much to see what no one has yet seen but to think what nobody has yet thought about that which everybody see. - E.S.

Coolness! :D

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

Indeed, well done TDM! Hopefully you guys score in the top 2 (since I would rather not choose between my 2 favourite mods, either winning and the other scoring second is perfectly fine with me) :)

The top 100 were already announced. The winners for the public choice have yet to be announced AFAIK.

 

Congrats to The Dark Mod community!

 

Your fan missions are the fuel that keeps this engine running!

Hurrah! Hopefully we'll get a traffic boost for that!

"No proposition Euclid wrote,

No formulae the text-books know,

Will turn the bullet from your coat,

Or ward the tulwar's downward blow

Strike hard who cares—shoot straight who can—

The odds are on the cheaper man."

:excl: This. is. awesome.

 

What's even better is that it's *us* that made this, our little community, not just tech wizardry (though we have that too). Shows that Darkmod has heart and generates loyalty.

What do you see when you turn out the light? I can't tell you but I know that it's mine.

Yes, it will likely generate some interest for sure. :) That interest may carry some misconceptions for newcomers. I found the description of the Mod in this award kind of gave the impression that the core mod development was heavily influenced by external suggestions...rather than a development plan. I forsee many new posts with 'feature' suggestions.

I just highlighted this point at Moddb but I will echo it here. One of the biggest contributors to the magic of the best mods (like TDM) is their coding. Year by year awards are lavished on artists, mappers, modelers, etc ... yet the real wizards are laboring thanklessly to bring forth the impossible.

 

There should be an award for coding excellence at Moddb.

 

(Though I suppose end-users would be baffled by the winners in most cases.)

True, probably the most under appreciated and hardest working group. (At least in modding, they get paid more by the industry)

      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

      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.
       
      You guys did not know that, did you?
