So many times now I have killed every damn Ai around me because they keep repeating the same fucking lines over and over and over again, but then to maintain the no-kill moral code I do a quick load.

 

Shall we gather for whiskey and cigars tonight? :laugh:

(sigh) jtr, it's a bit silly to continue to blank your own posts out. This is a message board, where a conversation depends on all parts being intact. If you don't like some of the things your'e saying, then maybe you should think a bit more before posting them. Stop acting like a child.

Currently playing chapter 5, I'm in banquet room of the manor and jesus fucking christ, bugs apenty...

  1. the level mapper/s didnt even bother thier collective arse's to match the moonlight projections to the fucking window pattern. HTF was this not picked up in beta testing in a commercial game FFS.
  2. the chandeliers are flicking yet there is no particle effect.
  3. and moonlight projections are coming from every direction including which way to moon is shining like.

 

The manor is very pretty though and I would love to do something this detailed in TDM, the fireplace alone is a monster and worthy of cloaning. Oh and we need blue pottery skins for all our cutlery.

You really have a dirty mouth on you, don't you? For some people, including me, that name means a lot. But i guess you don't give a damn?

 

It's a miracle thi4f only has only been 'upgraded' by square enix to use curse words like fuck and shit. In deus ex 3 they decided to use the name of Jesus every other sentence. Why are they doing that... whats the point...? Most people expect to hear that? What ever happened to taffer?

This is a forum for adults. Anyone who doesn't think they can handle adult language might not be comfortable here.

Shock value. You're shocked aren't you?

 

Nah, it's not the first time you know.

There's tons of sites that serve adults, it used to be called pornography. And in this case i just calll it being rude.

But don't worry, if regulars here make a habit of cursing then indeed i will skip the forum. No biggie.

I tend not to use strong language unless its justified and in that instance it was. The demonstrable lack of pride in ones work (I am of course referring to the mapper/s who built the maps in this game) leave me scratching my head -

  • in dispair,
  • in frustration,
  • in furious indignation,
  • and shouting at my computer monitor - "What the fuck! REALLY?! really, unbelievable...<sigh>"

The maps on the whole are gorgeous to behold and if the rest of the game had been brought up to this level it would have been a very good game, thief canon aside of course.

Right, because adult conversation = pornography. :rolleyes:

Let me spell it out for you then. There are a lot of things called 'adult' nowadays. Wasn't always the case though. And still isn't for many people.

Pornography is still pornography for them. Cursing still cursing. Nothing 'adult' about it. Quite the opposite in my opinion.

 

Good luck.

Thanks friend!

If you're going to go through life avoiding any book, newspaper, magazine, tv show, movie, CD, internet site, etc., that that mentions "jesus" or "fuck," you're going to be a pretty lonely person . Try buying a cabin out in the woods somewhere.

 

Or, you know, try to co-exist.

Oh has anyone else noticed they have dynamic location based ambients in T4 that work in the same way they do in TDM..? I wonder did they get that idea from us..?

Did you notice melee fighters are throwing rocks at you if you are out of reach. Same question here ;)

Well, since we're spelling things out....

 

When talking freely in the company of other adults, the majority of adults use curse words from time to time. The same thing happens in this forum. You yourself have used curse words regularly in your posts ("you don't give a damn", "To hell with your system", "your bs gadgets", "you bastards").

 

If there are a couple special words that you can't bear to encounter, that's your prerogative. What makes someone "rude" is not the words they use, however, but message they're conveying. And frankly, your post to Biker was far ruder than anything he's said in this thread, to you or anyone else.

I remember coming up with that idea. We probably did it first but it's not a complicated idea to come up with. All you have to do is remember how completely impotent Thief AI became if you climbed up on a table.

I'll take that cabin if i can afford it!

True in the sense that i would watch my words more when being around children. Other words i would stop using if someone took offense at them.

The message for me is: i have zero respect for your most sacred beliefs. And you people are so far out that you cannot even see such a simple fact. Instead i'm the one being rude...

 

But enough of this emo business. We are what we are, co-exist we cannot it seems. Because i'll be damned before i shut my mouth in situations like this.

Which most sacred beliefs? Would they be ...

 

You shall not murder

You shall not steal

You shall not bear false witness against your neighbour

 

Naw, they're

 

You shall not take the name of the LORD your God in vain.

 

Moral dissonance, helluva drug.

      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!
