I think it's good as it is.

The only thing it needs is a mobile version. That's it.

"I really perceive that vanity about which most men merely prate — the vanity of the human or temporal life. I live continually in a reverie of the future. I have no faith in human perfectibility. I think that human exertion will have no appreciable effect upon humanity. Man is now only more active — not more happy — nor more wise, than he was 6000 years ago. The result will never vary — and to suppose that it will, is to suppose that the foregone man has lived in vain — that the foregone time is but the rudiment of the future — that the myriads who have perished have not been upon equal footing with ourselves — nor are we with our posterity. I cannot agree to lose sight of man the individual, in man the mass."...

- 2 July 1844 letter to James Russell Lowell from Edgar Allan Poe.

The page should really be centered though. Also maybe have the background image fade to black/bg colour on the bottom and sides. Just aesthetics.

This is what the site looks on my screen right now:

 

 

Where's the background image?

TDM Missions:   A Score to Settle  *  A Reputation to Uphold  *  A New Job  *  A Matter of Hours

Video Series:   Springheel's Modules  *  Speedbuild Challenge  *  New Mappers Workshop  *  Building Traps

It looks like this for me: bbqh.png

 

Notice the randomized images that come up in the upper part of the site. There are about 5 various images.

It should really be centered. This discussion is tightly related to overall PR and presentation for new players. With a non-centered site, I feel a bit like I've stumbled upon some relic from the 90's, which definitely isn't what you want new players to feel, if even for half a second.

Ah now I can replicate this. I switched from main page to media page. And after switching back to main page I lost the bg image and the red medal on the right.

On my PC the banner worked - I don't know why it was disappearing on my laptop. Maybe because I clicked "view image" in the media section and then got back via browser and so it failed to load the banner..? Dunno. :mellow:

 

Centering the page? Nice! I would also try to use a google font on this, instead of arial. You use already your own font for the navigation, so I would not use two different fonts again for the content, instead use one font for the content which brings different sets (bold, italic, ...) and without serifes. You can explore them here: https://www.google.com/fonts

 

Another sketch plus look how fresh this looks with a slightly changed font like the ones in the picture. Free on google fonts. :)

      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?
