The title of this thread really ought to be something like "What effect will the absence of a level editor for T4 have on TDM?" since this is the most realistic option we're looking at, I think. We'll have this new slew of players and people interested in the gameplay... How many of them might get interested in playing TDM, and how many of them might get ambitions to make their own levels? And what are ways we might leverage that along with the fact that T4 will probably not have FMs, but people may be looking for something like that in wake of the game.

. Very true! Did they did level editor for Deux HR? Edited by someTaff

What excuse do we have not to sculpt, and sculpt, and sculpt, until the job is done?

If they release anything for customization it'll likely be something stupid like the Absolution 'Contracts' mode. Something like kill restrictions, time restrictions, loot goals, focus restrictions, etc etc. Basically, player made objectives for the vanilla OM's with leaderboard statistics. Must be logged into EM servers as part of DRM package, + purchased with DLC for great justice.

Ive made peace with the fact I will have to buy this game on steam, but under no f***ing cercumstances what so ever will I entertain having to be permanently online to be able to play.

You can play Steam games in offline mode, no worries.

They already said Thief won't even have online play IIRC, so there's no reason for it to require that.

Edit: It would affect what could go on a leaderboard, though, since it's too easy to crack client-side stats. But it's easy to just let you play the game offline & not let your stats go to a leaderboard.

 

Ungoliant is talking about downloading fan-made achievements, and maybe being online like I just mentioned (to register it for some leaderboard)... But that's nothing like authentic modding, and still wouldn't stop you from playing the game offline.

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

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      I wanna play Doom 3, but fhDoom has much better features than dhewm3, yet fhDoom is old, outdated and probably not supported.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

      Hope everyone has the blessing of undying motivation for "The Dark Mod 15th Anniversary Contest". Can't wait to see the many magnificent missions you all may have planned. Good luck, with an Ace!
