I have started a YouTube Channel with title "Let's Play The Dark Mod" in which I play one of the fan missions available. My plan is to play all the missions at the maximum difficulty without reloading (too much :rolleyes:).

Good news,

I have a question; will you as well try to do all the mission ghostable :)?

 

I'm just starting out with that, actually. I've finished all the blind playthroughs and now I'm going back to play each again twice: once to speed-run and once to 0 stealth score each of them.

Hey Merry, how's your next mission coming along?

Ghostable means with score 0? I'm not sure to be able to do that. Some FMs can be tricky and I don't think to be able to be a ghost without reloading. I prefer to play with my usual "thief" style.

 

I'm considering the possibility to let the subscribers to choose my next mission, what do you think?

When I talked ghostable I mean you grab all the loot on the missions, you always play the difficult challenge, you can't use any objects (ex: water arrows and so on) or carry none for the matter, you can't take damage, you can't kill nobody even animals or beasts, you can't alert anyone. This is suppose to be challenging :). Just asked for curiosity, good luck with your channel.

That's pretty much impossible on a lot of missions thanks to running habits between map makers. One I can think of is putting coins on card tables that either alert the players when removed or are in direct light in the middle of a bar with people sat on opposite sides of the table. I think the best you could do consistently in every mission is 0 stealth score without using items, that's about it.

Doesn't the term "Let's Play" imply a narrative?

Not really, although most Let's Players do so.

Uhmm I don't think to be able to do it and I have good reasons: this means being under lights many times. Exposing yourself for the joy of challenge could be nice, but it's not my style. Too many variables and even if you calculate the timing correctly every time, there will still be moments in which you have to, for instance, pick a lock under the light just because you have decided to not use water arrows. I don't understand this. Some levels are designed to support this, but for me this is just unrealistic. If there is a lock and a light, you have three possibilities: find another route to what's being the lock, remove the light or remove all the opponents in that area.

Besides, the idea is to play without reloading and that includes dealing with your mistakes. In this context, you must be crazy to play without rope, moss and water arrows.

Normally it does, in fact let's play is known to be narrated by the player as far as I know.

Not me, but some people are crazy enough to do this things ;).

"Playthrough" is the same of "Let's play" and "walkthrough" is more a guide for the player. I have to find a better name but I have no ideas right now :mellow: .

      i am so euphoric to see new FMs keep coming out and I am keen to try it out in my leisure time, then suddenly my PC is spouting a couple of S.M.A.R.T errors...
      tbf i cannot afford myself to miss my network emulator image file&progress, important ebooks, hyper-v checkpoint & hyper-v export and the precious thief & TDM gamesaves. Don't fall yourself into & lay your hands on crappy SSD

      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 ?
