I just created this account to thank you people who made this mod, I have been lurking after a couple of years, and I have seen your struggles and your successes....as a die hard fan of Looking Glass and Thief I must say this is a great homage to them. Even if this does not get of the ground I sincerely hope you guys find another engine or lets hope thief 4 is mod friendly. The Thief community is probably the greatest I have ever seen, and I just wanted to get this off my chest. NEVER surrender.

 

 

 

May the Builders peace be with you guys :)

Thank you for the warm words.

 

But what do you mean "Even if this does not get of the ground"? We are on version v1.07 already and v1.08 will be out soon :)

Hi, crescent hawk, and welcome to the boards! :) Thank you for your kind words; feedback of every kind is much appreciated.

 

An engine change will not happen in the foreseeable future; however, with open-sourced Doom3, future updates (like the next one!) will lead to performance increases and the expansion of technological possibilities -- of course, we also need more mappers to translate these advanced into full, playable missions.

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

Welcome to the forums. TDM is definitely off the ground, it can only get better but with D3 being open sourced that doesnt mean it would require a new engine. The only thing that is missing is maybe a larger audience but once I release my "Nude Noblewoman Skin Patch" we should see an influx of new blood ;-)

Welcome to the Dark side hawk. B)

 

Yeah Dark Mod is definitely up and running, even on version 1.07 (1.0 was the full game, and it's been improved 7 times since then). Have a download and get playing if you haven't already! There are like 60 FMs to play now.

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

      Hey @nbohr1morehow come the zombies in The Dark Mod don't have a "resurrection" mechanic to it, similar to how Thief has it?
      They're quite a weak creature as of right now, it's merely a walking corpse that slashes you, making attacking them to kill them an actual strategy.
      Would be better if they had some cool mechanism to it that truly makes them a danger, such as the resurrection idea itself.

      Query: when was the last time a zombie in a video game was unnerving or scary to you? I'm chipping away at my anniversary submission and I've been trying to gather opinions on the subject. I'm perfectly capable of lighting them well, changing their sfx, and creating effective ambience, but I'm worried that zombies at their core are just too overdone to be an effective payoff to the tension I'm creating.

      Has anyone had any luck with textures from Polyhaven? Their OpenEXR normal maps seem too washed out and give incorrect shading in the engine.

      I tried to upscale the TDM logo video. First try:

      briefing_video.mp4 You can test it ingame by making a copy of the core tdm_gui.mtr and place it in your-tdm-root/materials/ , then edit line 249 of that file into the location where you placed the new briefing.mp4 file.
      What I did was I extracted all the image files, then used Upscayl to upscale the images using General photo (Real-Esrgan) upscale setting and then turn it back into a video.
      I might have to crop it a bit, the logo looks smaller on screen (or maybe it's actually better this way?). My video editor turned it into a 16:9 video, which I think overal looks better than 1:1 video of original.
