Looking for recommends of areas that are outstanding looking so I can promote The Dark Mod via 360s panoramas.

[Damjan Cd]

Hey guys, I have this page on Facebook that I've been feeding with 360 screenshot from games I love, or games that look good.
I really want to show off and promote as many awesome indie video games by shooting scenes in their 3D worlds

Can anyone here recommend me some great maps that I can cover for my page? I usually shoot some 10-20 360s and then publish them sporadically mixed in with other games.

Here's the page so you can see how it works out in practice

thank you!

There is no shortage of great looking missions. These are some that I know of that have cool outdoor vistas.

I agree with above.

But for these pictures you need some precise directions to get to nice locations. i can faguely remember that TDM has a feature to start a mission on/transport to a specified location. dont know the command for it. 

How do you created those pictures, in a videogame? I always wanted to know that. For example, In real life I shoot them with the 360 feature of google camera on my android phone.

TDM has envshot already, which will create a 6 sided box images, front, back, left, right, top, bottom.

That's setviewpos / getviewpos. Can't live without them anymore
But I'm afraid @Damjan Cd will have to play though these missions himself...

Not the worst problem to have.

[freyk]

the commands getviewpos (and condump) and setviewpos works perfectly, for Damjan.
So people can now give Damjan their favourite places.

For example, one of them is just the start of the trainingsmap,
position "333.11 -1872.76 220.25   4.9 88.0 0.0"
onliner: .\TheDarkModx64.exe +map training_mission.map +setviewpos 333.11 -1872.76 220.25   4.9 88.0 0.0

it would be nice to automate this by giving someone a startup onliner, like above.
But the take doesnt take the setviewpos command.

The views from the rooftops in Thomas Porter: The Phrase Book were also pretty stunning.

Lich Queens Demise has a nice outdoor area right at the start

You don't have to make it so complicated.

To use the example given here, start the tutorial mission. As soon as it starts, open the console (default "cntl + alt + ~"), and paste in "setviewpos 333.11 -1872.76 220.25   4.9 88.0 0.0". Then type in "envshot <filename> <size>" with some file name like "tutorial_screenshot1" and I need to experiment with the size, but I imagine it needs to be some exponential of 2 like 512 or 1024 (it defaults at 256, which is much too small to be useful), and you'll get the images in the "env" folder in your darkmod folder. I'm going to cruise around some FMs I like and find some nice scenes I'll edit in the setviewpos coordinates for later.
