3 different characters/objective lists! Loot and enemies/innocents being in different spots in each play-through is something that I've always wanted!!(I hope this becomes common practice for future levels.) I'm so excited for this!!! Edited by SirGen

Congrats on the release!

 

I will have a mirror up shortly.

 

I can say with confidence that this mission is absolutely enormous and you will need a lot of play time to enjoy it all...

 

Before I got my new PC, I needed to use image_downsize cvars in Darkmod.cfg to even start the mission.

Placed the FM on the missions page. Biker will need to add mirrors for the mission downloader because of the https issues with dropbox (sorry).

I copied the your post to the description but if you have shorter text that would probably look better.

 

Also... wikified!

Its 12:30 AM here and I was just about to go to bed... Now I will stay up for a wile to check this new FM out! Hopefully my box can play the mission while rendering in Blender in the background... Downloading now!

I loaded it this morning before work. Love all the different objectives depending on the character selection! Definitely will be playing through each way.

 

I did notice that the very first stairs from the player start where you go up from the canal, there is no footstep/running/any sound on the stairs to the gate. Not a big deal though as the mission hasn't really begun at that point.

Finished on "Assassin", now I'm playing on "Thief" and

I can't seem to find the vault key. I searched for an accountant office or something like that but found nothing

. Any help would be welcome (and a few in-game readables wouldn't do harm, I think).

 

I'm enjoying it so far, having so many different objective types really helps get the most out of a particularly large level.

Tried running it on my Windows 7 PC and it works, only just can't save (I assume because I'm accessing Dark Mod from my other HDD, and Doom 3 / Dark Mod are not technically installed). So, the error message that I posted above occurred when I ran it on Windows XP SP3

This is some next level gameplay guys. This is an FM's FM.

 

FM inception perhaps? :P

 

Also congrats on the release Fieldmedic! Very fun mission :)

@Bikerdude

 

I have 4GB RAM, of which XP SP3 can only access 3.48GB (32bit restrictions). I have also tried it after a full reboot - same error occurs.

 

As to my other specs:

 

EVGA GTX 560 Ti

Intel i5 2500K 3.3Ghz

 

This is the first time, I have ever had such an error appear when loading a level.

Dunedaim19 you'll probably need to set image and bump downsize settings in Darkmod.cfg the mission is huge and takes a lot of RAM to run. There are details in the troubleshooting wiki. I had to do this before I got a new PC. (Had the same Malloc error)

I have tried altering some settings, raising/lowering them...but no luck. :mellow: I have also tried searching the wiki for help, but have yet to find the correct page.

 

What specific settings must I alter?

      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!
