It's changing from green (player hidden) to red (player lit up). I'm not sure what it means when the light goes out. The creator mentions it's just a quick hack and doesn't work stably as the bit of memory he's using to track the light gem can change.

What's changing? It seems to just flicker to me, though bear in mind I'm color blind. If it's just changing color, I think it'd be cooler if it just dimmed and intensified instead.

 

Aw :(

 

The bottle of wine on the right is changing color respective to the light gem in game. It goes from green to near black and when he moves closer to the light it turns red.

Huh, cool. Impressive all the same ^_^ All it needs now is some miniature shaped charges to shatter the bottle when you get seen by a guard. I'm sure that'll make people more inclined to be sneaky about it.

That is a extremely cool, GW!

 

I assume you have a photoresister based circuit and either 2x LEDs or a multi-coulour LED? You know a couple of these with RGB leds behind a TV changing colour based on whats on the screen would look very good - phillips does with with some of thier TVs.

Just to clarify this isn't mine, it was just a video I found whilst browsing YouTube :)

 

I don't know if this guy is a forum goer or not, I don't think so though.

Interesting to think we have homebrew devs that aren't even on the forums.

Makes us seem more widespread and diverse.

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

That is cool. It's probably a first iteration. I would have minorly tweaked the cross fading code to be a little smother, i.e., keep the green on and fade to red, then turn the green off, rather than letting it get so black.

 

@Biker: I don't think there's a photodiode or other light sensor involved, I think he's reading the actual lightgem value and then sending it to the microcontroller that the LEDs are plugged into.

      Hello, Since this track is originally from TDM,i think it's better to ask here than TTLG. Do you guys have the full version of this ambient track?

      Bachelor Mapping Challenge!
      The girlfriend will be away to her mum's place for almost a week, which means more mapping time for me! I'm planning a speed build. Hope it will go my way
      I'm starting by downloading 2.11. Don't know if I'm going to use any fancy new stuff. Just want to crack those itching map muscles that has gone dry and dead since almost a year's worth of no-mapping

      Fm idea (braindump)
      "Experience the life of a mission builder"
      Esentially there are finnished elements placed somewhere in storage in the game and you have to place them in the correct places, build some walls here and there, add guard routes, give them their correct speech lines, etc. Decorate the places.. all in-game. lots of fun.. 😉
      If you do it right in the end you can play the mission.
      (would be even cooler if a thief-ai could play the mission, making it some kind of tower-defence game)
       
      This first started as an idea for an aquarium builder mission where-in you have to fill an empty aquarium with sand, waterplants, castles water and swimming fish. But above idea is more fun.

      Dear ChatGPT, What are The Builders in the Dark Mod?
       
      The Builders is a popular game mode in the video game community called "Dark Mod," which is a fan-made tribute to the classic "Thief" series of stealth games. In this game mode, players assume the role of builders who construct structures in a dark and ominous environment while trying to avoid detection by patrolling guards.
      The Builders game mode is unique in that it offers players the opportunity to create and design their own levels using the in-game tools and resources provided. Players can experiment with different building materials, construct intricate traps and puzzles, and create their own unique gameplay experiences.
      While The Builders game mode is not an official part of the Dark Mod, it has become one of the most popular and well-loved aspects of the game, thanks to its emphasis on creativity, strategy, and stealth.
       
      You guys did not know that, did you?
