I haven't seen yet any note saying Mod DB 'Mod of the Year' voting began, so figured I'd mention. Sorry if it was posted before (just delete this thread, if it was).

 

I assume The Dark Mod still qualifies as a mod, even though it's standalone, right? I mean, a mod is a mod, even if a game was modded so much the mod became standalone, right?

 

Vote for whatever mod you like most, but for convenience here is a link to TDM on ModDB.com: The Dark Mod

 

I think they're in the first round of voting, to narrow things down to a Top 100.

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."

Call nbohr - do we need to get our moddb page updated..?

 

I could do a feature on Dragofer's "Down by the Riverside". I was saving that to bulk up the 2.05 release article but I think we have enough to say about that.

I just noticed TDM has an average rating of 9.5. Quite impressive.

I'm sure it would've been higher with EAX. What's the status if it would be appropriate to ask? http://bugs.thedarkmod.com/view.php?id=3954

TDM is impressive, born way before the crowdfunding madness :D

I beg to differ:

This is a manually extinguishable oil lamp, achieved by turning the little wheel. I'm not sure about torches though.

 

 

All else aside: Voted.

Well, torches must remain lit mostly, to avoid suspects :P

Just in case you missed all the drama about this :), I was talking about the open flame oil lamps, which contrary to candles you can't manually put out...

      I posted about it before, but I think the default tdm logo video looks outdated. For a (i.m.o.) better looking version, you can download the pk4 attached to this post and plonk it in your tdm root folder. Every mission that starts with the tdm logo then starts with the better looking one. Try for example mission COS1 Pearls and Swine.

      I finished DOOM - The Dark Ages the other day. It is a decent shooter, but not as great as its predecessors, especially because of the soundtrack.
