Beta Testing: "Seeking Lady Leicester"

sll_1.thumb.jpg.0a11742c56995390e7fc3e387e81a6d8.jpg

As most people here know, grayman, longtime lead coder and mission designer (best known for the "William Steele" series), passed away in the spring of 2021 from cancer.

According to grayman's will, his son has subsequently donated two unfinished missions to our community. These two projects are completely independent of each other and there is no relation to grayman's well-known "William Steele" series.

The mission "The Black Mage" was completed by me last fall and released on Christmas 2021.

Bikerdude along with Amadeus and Dragofer have worked  for almost 18 months on the second incomplete mission "Seeking Lady Leicester", ready now for beta testing.

This is a mansion mission, but it also includes outdoor areas. The playtime is about an hour if you run through it quickly, but if you want to see all the locations and secrets, you'll be busy for several hours. From the feel of it, I would say that this is an advanced mission, so it's surely above "The Black Mage" in terms of difficulty.

I haven't played it myself yet, but I've looked at it, and it looks damn good, just like everything else Bikerdude has produced in the last few years. 

Please sign up here for beta testing, if you can test on 2.11 b4 or higher as this will be a 2.11 release. I then will provide you with details for testing via PM which will take place via Discord.  It would be very nice if we could get a lot of testers for this mission, because this release will be the last one that will include graymans name in the authorship. He was very meticulous about testing, so let's not let him down.

If I'm not mistaken, this mission is meant to coincide with the upcoming 2.11 release so I am guessing players will need to be on 2.11 beta-04 ? ( or newer )

Bikerdude is the main author ( other than grayman ). JackFarmer keeps in contact with him off-channel so he offered to assist with this post before Amadeus or Dragofer were available.

I wonder if there is a specific reason why I always get such bizarre questions or comments for beta testings or other posts in the Editor's forum (get back to my other beta testing threads and you will understand what I mean).

Anyway, thanks for your explanation; I almost let go of something I haven't written here in six years.

I am a bit puzzled why you post about the beta testing. Logically one of the makers would create this thread. So in this case Amadeus or Dragofer.

Yeah, sorry about the confusion, but I am personally gonna be unavailable and unresponsive over the next few weeks for personal reasons, so we asked JackFarmer to help.  He has our blessing

Honestly, I don't know. I have taken screenshots with Written in Stone, but I don't know where they are. How do the images save, I mean, what are the files called? "dump-something" if I remember correctly. The game always wants to install to the game folder on C drive, so I'm wondering if they're there instead. D drive is what holds my games & other important stuff if Windows fails. 

I have no anti-virus stuff on any of my pc's. Hate the pop-up messages from Norton in the middle of the game & no way of turning it off without having to turn the whole thing off. They don't even have reset buttons anymore I noticed lol. I know what goes in & out hehe I check my email on my iphone first, so I don't get infected by mistake.

So tell me, what is the original output "address" for the dump-pictures?

There's a "screenshots" folder in your TDM folder.

After taking a screenshot, you can check the console. You should see a line like: 

Wrote screenshots/mission_name (2023-01-06 11-03-44) (2002.23 1061.83 414.88).jpg

Yeah I see notta. Anyways, I do believe I've installed beta 2.11 correctly, now I just need your beta FM to see if it ALL works correctly. The PC in Sweden failed when I tried this a year ago with beta 2.10. This time all of this gets its' own drive (slow) - Fresh Install, instead. It's not on the SSD, but hey 1TB HDD should be fast enough anyway. It's the only thing there.

Guess What? I found the screenshots folder & it works!! :) 

& look at That, they're actually labeled as the FM I was playing, instead of dump-something... Nice!!

      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?
