Hi. For the last moth I've been secretly working on a small surprise. It's yet another demo showing some possibilities of the game engine. It's a small map with no objectives, but I hope you'll enjoy it.

 

Don't press escape after the mission starts or you will miss all the fun :)

Probably, I've been tinkering with my brightness levels (darkening the monitors and upping brightness in software), also uploading this in 720 with less intro (still a little bit) so it should be easi

Lovely! Thanks, man. =-)

 

It made me smile.

"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."

OMG!

 

Does this demo show a Cubemap \ Interior mapping style effect (well... in this case it would be exterior mapping) ?!?!

 

Must try this tonight!

Thanks to all :)

Just wondering if

the new character could be reskinned and used in other FMs

 

It would take more than just new texture as I made custom rig.

 

how did you make that custom light/shadow for the floor - that is extremely cool!

I made it in Blender. I imported the models, copied their exact position, created light source in the same place as in DarkRadiant and then baked the shadows and ambient occlusion. Then I placed planes with that baked shadows as decals in the map.

Hm, there are cubemaps but it's nothing new. They're described here: http://wiki.thedarkm...title=Cube_maps

      Does anyone actually use the Normalise button in the Surface inspector? Even after looking at the code I'm not quite sure what it's for.

      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      I wanna play Doom 3, but fhDoom has much better features than dhewm3, yet fhDoom is old, outdated and probably not supported.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?
