Hello it me! ("Who?") Yeah, no, I know.

Seven and a half years after it hit the shelves in all major retailers, La Banque Bienveillante is getting a vanity-fuelled makeover, because I've had seven and a half years of working on other projects (sorry) and felt like it was time to actually finish this bank job campaign I started. To that end, I've rebuilt the first mission from the ground up. It's still only quite little, being the first mission in a campaign, but there's a lot crammed in that needs breaking!

DarkRadiant tells me I've put in 20 hours in the last 3 days which cant be right, right? Well anyway, I need to scatter some readables and wire up some objective logic, then re-figure out how to pack up missions and it'll be ready to go some time tomorrow. 

If that sounds like your scene, let me know here! 🤙

Don't apologize for taking your time on projects. A good project takes time.
Welcome back, complete stranger. :)

Ah Quinn Co.. Do also check out new features of TDM (and DR) and how they can be useful for your mission remake:

Unfortunately Probably I'm not able to play-test TDM missions the current month, because I only have access to a laptop with a hd 3000 gpu (shit). So the best of luck with the beta testing. If I make up my mind, I'll post again.

Thread is up, hello and thank you to everyone who can help, and just hello to everyone who can't! It's an open beta, so if you're reading this and the mission isn't out yet, by all means come and bully me about my mission. don't actually do that please be gentle

This is driving me nuts! Sorry about the delay. Trying to upgrade my xfinity to 900mbs, but it only gives me 118mbs, so most of everything won\t work. Just like my keyboard for some reason. Anyway, I\m in for testing. This speed issue should be resolved soon.

Ha no worries! I just moved out into the sticks and Elisa--the only ISP that serves in the frozen wastes outside Oulu--have tried 3 times to install a line in the past month, but here I am on data and Molyneuxian promises. No rush at all! 💗

Always nice to see people come back after a hiatus.

You'll find we've moved on quite a lot in the past few years. DR now has built-in Git support and ... wait for it ... shadow rendering. All thanks to Greebo of course, not me — although I did manage to add support for def_attached lights (so those gas lamps will actually emit light instead of looking like static models), and make the light inspector a little more pleasant to use.

Sweet Mother of Mercy...

You know, I was just browsing The Dark Mod FMs two months ago, I played one that was in a soon-to-be-haunted church, I know you made more than just that one, they were all great missions.
Sadly I didn't replay all because it was getting hot in my place, I like to play TDM when it's cold, you know?

I was wondering as to what happened to you, you make some great missions, I was actually hoping you'd come back.
My wishes came true! And it is also almost my birthday!

I am so happy to see you return and ready to continue making a mission!
As much as I would like to try the beta, well, can I try? I am very busy these days and with low motivation, but I don't wanna pass a great fan mission either.

I have my FM I started around 2003 I still tell myself I want to finish someday. 😆

It's great to see mappers coming back to projects. I like that this game will always be around. Whatever else happens you can always come back to it.

What do you see when you turn out the light? I can't tell you but I know that it's mine.

It's an open beta and short compared to other missions.

Ok, I found some issues, yet I will say I could actually play this little game on my mom's 6 year old laptop. Was a bit bumpy with the frame rate, but it worked. The bigger FMs just crash it.

Thanks for the feedback, it's like gold dust! Keep an eye out over in the beta testing thread if you wanna peep the next revision.

Oh sheesh, I'm blushing, really! I appreciate it, but now I feel like an absentee 😆

      Does anyone actually use the Normalise button in the Surface inspector? Even after looking at the code I'm not quite sure what it's for.

      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?
