I posted a reply about my mapping experiences. One of the issues, though, both in this case and on TTLG, is that it looks like people are trying to run TDM on 2003-2004 era PCs. That's never going to work out well, and the resulting experience will sour people on the project.

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

Anyone with an account on here want to set them straight? I'd love to post a link to Arcturus' grass test or a screen of NHAT 2 or 3. http://www.rpgcodex....3-engine.77370/

 

Not sure it is worth it. People claiming "doom engine can't make huge outdoor scenes" (so what? even it if couldn't, it can't make coffee, either.) or that "it doesn't feel like thief" (so what? it doesn't "feel" like GTA either), etc, we all heard this before and I'm just sick of it. Invest several years of hard work and it get's torn to shreds in 30 seconds ON THE INTERNET!MA! by someone who likely hasn't even tried it...that's not even worth responding to, because you'd just drop down to their level and lose, anyway. They are not interested in a discussion, just in either trolling or hating.

Here is something random picked out:

 

 

About LoD - It's not the authors that need to use it, it's the objects in the mod resources that new low-poly versions and the system needs to use that automatically.

 

While he is right, someone please tell him to apply as a modeller so he can make a few thousand LOD models...

 

To be honest, i may have already seen that - some roman statue? Not quite sure because my gfx card sucks, but i noticed some 'popping' which is characteristic of LoD systems on low-end cards (where the draw distance to exchange the meshes is low). BTW, if that distance can be made adaptive to the card it would be nice

 

It already is *hits head on wall*. You just can't make people happy, no matter how hard you try :(

 

@New Horizon: You are very brave to step in there ;)

It's not about changing that person's mind at all; it's about making sure casual readers get to hear the other side of the issue. But it seems taken care of.

      The FAQ wiki is almost a proper FAQ now. Probably need to spin-off a bunch of the "remedies" for playing older TDM versions into their own article.

      Was checking out old translation packs and decided to fire up TDM 1.07. Rightful Property with sub-20 FPS areas yay! ( same areas run at 180FPS with cranked eye candy on 2.12 )

      i am so euphoric to see new FMs keep coming out and I am keen to try it out in my leisure time, then suddenly my PC is spouting a couple of S.M.A.R.T errors...
      tbf i cannot afford myself to miss my network emulator image file&progress, important ebooks, hyper-v checkpoint & hyper-v export and the precious thief & TDM gamesaves. Don't fall yourself into & lay your hands on crappy SSD

      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!
