One Small Step....

Recommended Posts

Although my focus is on using Dromed for Thief 2 which I think still has lots of life left in it (for now), I did fiddle with a video tutorial for a certian game this weekend and finally got my first room.... B)

Now if I can just figure out why I seem to have double cusors in the main screen!? :unsure:

Not so bad. I created the very same room with my first try as well with that zombie facing the back wall. :)

 

If you have plans for a serious map and want to get started on the darkmod, we already have a beta mapper who got a pre release and started to create his own project. So if you are interested we are open, because we are looking for some serious mappers using the tools independent of our development, as they are intended to be used.

Well I would like to make some maps, but it's going to take a while before I could consider doing anything like that. I still have at least one Dromed FM left in me and I've only made one room in D3. I will start playing around with the editor though to learn how Radiant works. Once I get good enough to make a small basic map, then I may consider doing that. :)

 

Edit: I did go through the 2nd room tutorial..

I may download some more stuff this weekend and go a little further. B)

I've only been playing around here and there between dromed sessions and I got a couple of addtional tutorials, I think I just need to keep playing with it for a while to get used to the thing.

hey, i see a bevel! :D

 

i always recommend the following video-tutorials to everyone:

 

http://www.doom3world.org/phpbb2/viewtopic.php?t=3017

 

http://www.modsonline.com/Tutorials-read-158.html

 

http://www.3dbuzz.com/vbforum/sv_dl_tr.php

 

once you're through all of these you're pretty well equipped for making your first real map in DoomEdit.

 

btw, it really pays off to watch all of them because they teach you different things even if they are all dealing with "my first room".

 

kind regards

Just visiting the great outdoors! :lol:

BTW-did anybody notice in the mission pack the dead marine outside that had bare arms instead of pressure suit sleeves? All that attention to detail and they miss out on one simple thing! :rolleyes:

While I'm still waiting on BNA to answer my e-mail, I had a question-do you guys just make one big room in D3 then fill it with your buildings and other things-or is there another way to build? I've checked out an original D3 map and I cant make any sense of it as compared to Dromed.

nooooooooooooooooooooooooo!!!!

 

Make the place room-by-room imo. Thats what i do. Also add vis portals as you go, i hate adding them later <_< . If you make the map well, you won't need a huge outdoor box, cos you'll have brushes and shit that you can't see.... blah blah blah.

 

Hope you get my point.

 

Good luck btw, looks good so far :)

      Finally got my PC back from the shop after my SSD got corrupted a week ago and damaged my motherboard. Scary stuff, but thank goodness it happened right after two months of FM development instead of wiping all my work before I could release it. New SSD, repaired Motherboard and BIOS, and we're ready to start working on my second FM with some added version control in the cloud just to be safe!

      I've updated the articles for your FMs and your author category at the wiki. Your newer nickname (DeTeEff) now comes first, and the one in parentheses is your older nickname (Fieldmedic). Just to avoid confusing people who played your FMs years ago and remember your older nickname. I've added a wiki article for your latest FM, Who Watches the Watcher?, as part of my current updating efforts. Unless I overlooked something, you have five different FMs so far.

      I've finally managed to log in to The Dark Mod Wiki. I'm back in the saddle and before the holidays start in full, I'll be adding a few new FM articles and doing other updates. Written in Stone is already done.
