Heading for the Beginner's Contest 2012 I recently learned how to use Dark Radiant and some additional software to make it through 4 months of building and now finally releasing my first fanmission for The Dark Mod.

 

As also seen in the Readme I want to thank Steve for his voice, the beta testers Bikerdude, PPoe and Sir Taffsalot. As well as the team members who constantly evolved a great modification that made all this possible. Last but not least the community which helped and supported me so much.

 

My thank you isn't just words - it is this mission, for all of you. Have a great time with it! :)

 

Best wishes

Toni

Congrats on the release Toni. ^_^

I can get to this right after I finish Black Frog.

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

Congrats! Downloading very rapidly... have about enough time for a quick bio break... then a new mission to play!! :)

 

* Strange, I did not register at that site at all. I just clicked the file link and it downloaded in about 2-3 minutes.

This mission is outstanding. Reminds me of why I need to stop putting fancy crap all over my projects and just concentrate and making something enjoyable. This FM has LOT's of great gameplay elements, and the

well designed environmental incentive for players to use moss arrows

deserves a goddamn standing ovation.

Well done! I thoroughly enjoyed playing this.

I only missed a rather small amount of gold, so will have to load my last save and find the rest.

 

Played on medium because I am addicted to KOs. I only missed 55 gold. I used only 1 water arrow (in the kitchen of all places) and 1 broadhead, and 0 moss... the rest was all blackjack. That is the only reason I voted Good on gameplay instead of excellent... I was not forced to use moss or noisemakers and found the AI easy to KO. I left one or two AI sleeping in their beds. All the rest were KO'd. Stealth score 0 with 6 level 1 alerts.

A 150 MB PK4 file? That's shaping up to be something serious! :) Too bad I just got to work and I can only start in the evening... :D

Wow over 100 downloads in only 12 hours. I guess the community really hungered for some new FMs O.O Please share your experiences by voting and commenting on this FM, don't be afraid! Thanks a lot! :)

 

 

 

congrats Toni! :)

 

I'm surprised minus can be used for file storage especially in this size. Downloading now...

 

btw. Bloodgate and Fidcal mirrors don't work fyk.

 

Thank you Siyah!

And thanks to whoever uploaded the FM to the mirror site, but it isn't working there. Try minus instead, until the broken links got fixed.

Btw is it possible to upload some more of the screenshots than just these two? Or is it spoiling too much? :o

Thank you ST for all the obvious hard work put in.Looking forward to playing this on my return from holiday.

Congrats on the release ST! I'm not going to vote until I've played all the entries. I'm looking forward to playing the finished version over the wknd. I had a lot of fun beta testing this. I really hope we get a sequel with regards to this future job that the lady in the intro alludes to.

      I moved from Manjaro Linux (rolling release) to Linux Mint (LTS). One of the reasons was that I found the updates a bit too often and long. But now on Mint I get updates every day, although they're usually small updates.

      I'd like to track my level design progress a bit more often now, so I'm using the feed in my profile here.
      I've been working intensively on Springheel's YouTube course over the past few days. I'm currently up to lesson 8. There is so much information that needs to be processed and practiced. 
      I have started to create my own house. As I don't have the imagination to create a good floor plan, I grabbed a floor plan generator from Watabou and experimented with it. I chose a floor plan that I will modify slightly, but at least I now have an initial idea. 
      I used two guards as a measuring tape: The rooms are two guards high. It turned out that I can simply double the number of boxes in DarkRadiant in grid size 8 that are drawn in the floor plan. 
      I practiced the simplest things on the floor plan first. Drawing walls, cutting walls, inserting doors, cutting out frames, creating VisPortals, furnishing rooms.
      I have had my first success in creating a book. Creating a book was easier than I thought. I have a few ideas with books. The level I'm creating will be more or less a chill level, just for me, where I'll try out a few things. I don't have an idea for my own mission yet. I want to start small first.
      For the cellar, I wanted to have a second entrance, which should be on the outside. I'm fascinated by these basement doors from the USA, I think they're called Bilco basement doors. They are very unusual in Germany, but this type of access is sometimes used for deliveries to restaurants etc., where barrels can be rolled or lifted into the cellar. 
      I used two Hatch Doors, but they got completely disoriented after turning. I have since got them reasonably tamed. It's not perfect, but it's acceptable. 
      In the cellar today I experimented with a trap door that leads to a shaft system. The rooms aren't practically finished yet, but I want to continue working on the floor plan for now. I'll be starting on the upper floor very soon.

      Ich möchte nun mal öfters ein bisschen meinen Werdegang beim Leveldesign tracken, dazu nutze ich hier den Feed in meinem Profil.
      Ich habe mich in den vergangenen Tagen intensiv mit dem Youtube-Kurs von Springheel beschäftigt. Aktuell bin ich bis zu Lektion 8 gekommen. Das sind so viele Informationen, die erstmal verarbeitet werden wollen und trainiert werden wollen. 

      Ich habe mich daran gemacht, ein eigenes Haus zu erstellen. Da mir die Fantasie fehlt, einen guten Raumplan zu erstellen, habe ich mir einen Grundrissgenerator von Watabou geschnappt und damit experimentiert. Ich habe mich für einen Grundriss entschieden, den ich noch leicht abwandeln werde, aber zumindest habe ich nun eine erste Idee. 

      Als Maßband habe ich zwei Wächter genommen: Die Räume sind zwei Wächter hoch. Es hat sich herausgestellt, dass ich in DarkRadiant in Gittergröße 8 einfach die doppelte Anzahl an Kästchen übernehmen kann, die im Grundriss eingezeichnet sind. 

      Ich habe bei dem Grundriss erstmal die einfachsten Sachen geübt. Wände ziehen, Wände zerschneiden, Türen einsetzen, Zargen herausschneiden, VisPortals erstellen, Räume einrichten.

      Ich habe erste Erfolge mit einem Buch gehabt. Das Erstellen eines Buchs ging leichter als gedacht. Ich habe ein paar Ideen mit Bücher. Das Level, das ich gerade erstelle, wird mehr oder weniger ein Chill-Level, einfach nur für mich, bei dem ich ein paar Sachen ausprobieren werde. Ich habe noch keine Idee für eine eigene Mission. Ich möchte erst einmal klein anfangen.

      Beim Keller wollte ich gerne einen zweiten Zugang haben, der sich außen befinden soll. Mich faszinieren diese Kellertüren aus den USA, Bilco basement doors heißen die, glaube ich. Diese sind in Deutschland sehr unüblich, diese Art von Zugängen gibt es aber manchmal zur Anlieferung bei Restaurants etc., wo Fässer dann in den Keller gerollt oder gehoben werden können. 
      Ich habe zwei Hatch Doors verwendet, die allerdings nach dem Drehen vollkommen aus dem Ruder liefen. Inzwischen habe ich sie einigermaßen gebändigt bekommen. Es ist nicht perfekt, aber annehmbar. 
      Im Keller habe ich heute mit einer Falltür experimentiert, die zu einem Schachtsystem führt. Die Räume sind noch quasi nicht eingerichtet, aber ich möchte erstmal am Grundriss weiterarbeiten. In Kürze fange ich das Obergeschoss an.

      On a lighter note, thanks to my cat-like reflexes, my superior puzzle skills and my perfect memory, I was able to beat the remastered version of "Tomb Raider: The Last Revelation" in a new superhuman record time of 23 h : 35 m, worship me!
