If you need more testers, I could also take a look. I am non-native English speaker, but I think I can read and talk the language very well, so I don't know if I'm enough help in that department.

Yeah, that would be great. I will send you version 2 once ate0ate posted his/her comments.

Btw. I peeked into the beta thread (without reading the reports) and you posted this:

Hm....you have never done beta testing before, right?

What do you expect from a good report? Because I didn't do beta testing before (at least not for TDM), so more info on that subject could be useful.

I dont't have a master plan for that either, but if you try to do it like joebarnin did with the screenshots (and maybe enhance the visibility and name exact locations if not clear to identify), that would be great.

Look out for:

  • floating objects
  • frobable items that cannot be frobbed or are difficult to frob
  • texture glitches
  • defective switches
  • defectives doors
  • weird AI behaviour (running against walls or other items, walking in circles, unable to operate doors, walking to close to walls and other things)
  • ambient sound/fx: too loud?
  • voices: clear and understandable?

 

Play style:

a. First run: It is a stealth, so try to sneak past all enemies and let me know if there are spots where you did not manage this or where you consider it extremely unfair. Check if the use of resources helps to ghost the mission or not and report if it does not.

b. Second run (if you have time for that): try to break the mission, play like a berserker, do things you should not do in a stealth game (or I did not foresee players could do), see how AI and environments react if you try crazy things, destabilize as much of the environment as possible and report if the results make the game unplayable.

hm...ja, something like that.

I confused Zerg Rush with another long time forum member that has a similar name and thus did expect he knows what to do...don't get me wrong, I am happy that he likes my mission...but this is not really helpful for beta testing. :)

Any screens to look at? Thanks in advance.

 

Hello kin,

I think I will release the mission this week. The relevant topic will include screenshots.

Regardng the screenshots: This time with maxed out soft shadows and other stuff as I finally bought a new graphics card! :)

Thanks.

I use maxed out stencil shadows, in almost all missions curently availiable with a gtx760 (too old card). Had no problems with it.

Got to say that this soft shadow thing makes TDM a new game in the looks.

      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.
