Random video of the day...

Here's another new person playing TDM, with commentary.

 

In some of the videos, she has trouble blackjacking because she doesn't aim for the head. Also, she did what another gamer did and knocked Gridley with a candle on Score to Settle. This causes him to break, unable to finish his conversation. Is there some way to fix that? E.g. if a character is talking, they are not movable? The NPC needs to not respond unless the player actually attacks them.

 

Perhaps she can do with some gameplay tips? Is this person on the TDM forums? I am not a Youtube member any longer so I cannot post any there. Always stand up before blackjacking somebody, do not do it in a crouch, or you will usually miss the head. Watch out for rooms with extremely low ceilings when going to blackjack somebody.

This game is actually a lot of fun. There's no complex dialogue or cut-scenes. The single objective is to run around at insane speeds and eradicate EVERYTHING. Most of the level design is quite good. I would even rather play this than Doom 3. I see where Romero was coming from when he says Doom 3 just lacks compared to these games.

Thanks to the people who made Gzdoom for making these games have full mouse-look.

Useless, right? Wrong!

 

Imagine a wireless keyboard with these embedded in a few of the most commonly used keys. When you press the keys as you use the keyboard, it charges up an ultra-capacitor, which powers the keyboard.

Man if I could build maps like he draws that would be cool!

If I could draw like he draws that would be cool. Very stunning.

 

What is most interesting is that it seems he is using pretty simple techniques to get a good efect. I think this can be taking over to mapping as well. Find relatively simple approahes giving you good results.

 

The problem is that mapping is much newer then drawing is, thus causing a lack of appropiate possibilities to teach oneself such techniques.

      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?
