I know this may seem antiquated but the bindings for look up and down are very useful in conjunction with look left and right (which we already have) and while routing on a laptop I had to find out the hard way we didn't have those.

 

We might want to have those, guys, otherwise just having look left and right in the options menu is kind of silly. Up and down look keys are incredibly useful for keyboard only setups.

I like to record difficult stealth games, and right now you wonderful people are the only ones delivering on that front.

I like this idea too.

 

Because when running TDM inside a virtual machine, mouse does not work properly :huh:

Those "turn left/right" keys are what I use to navigate through levels.

 

UPDATE: If there are no objections, I'll create a feature request?...

Keyboard only setups need this.

Do it.

Reminds me of all the games that have bound specific tasks to mousewheel scrolling and do not allow to alter that. Great if your mouse doesn't has a mousewheel :( (Doom, Prey, Homeworld: DoK, to name a few)

 

So I definetely second that.

The config file already has these lines in it: bind "DEL" "_lookdown", bind "PGDN" "_lookup". Would they just need an integration into the settings GUI?

 

Update: This was really easy to add, as there was room for two more lines already! Just extract the attached archive into your TDM folder to fix this :)...

 

P.S.: I can't attach any archives or game files here! Is this feature only for screenshots? Anyway, I can send these files to anyone interested or to the

right person on the team to integrate into 2.07 of course. I'll put them into my Unofficial TDM too, because 2.07 is probably a very long time off ;)!

      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      I wanna play Doom 3, but fhDoom has much better features than dhewm3, yet fhDoom is old, outdated and probably not supported.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?

      Hope everyone has the blessing of undying motivation for "The Dark Mod 15th Anniversary Contest". Can't wait to see the many magnificent missions you all may have planned. Good luck, with an Ace!
