Why are there no more new fan missions in the missions section ?

I also replay missions I like just because they're fun.

Certainly true as well. I'm just giving people who don't replay missions some reasons for doing so. It's perhaps more a reflection of how much entertainment there is out there, but a lot of people simply don't replay games much if at all because there's always new content out there. For things like TDM it can take a bit more time, so there's value in coming up with ideas to revisit content in other ways.

 

A word of warning, Agent Denton. This was a simulated experience; real LAMs will not be so forgiving.

The longest interval was 10 months. That was between the 1.0 beta and 1.0 release time.

There have been several 6 month spans so to be the 2nd longest span ( 7 months ) we would need to have no mission releases before April 7th.

Hmm I will take that as a positive sign. particularly the last sentence😉

If you take mission re-releases into consideration, then the current time span would even only be 4 months, since my version 2.0 of Sneak & Destroy was released on 17.11.22 😊

Hmm...That does sound like a good habit, I really need to get myself to do that.

I can see one problem here being personal (not on my part) and that is being introvert, I'm very sure most people aren't too willing to give a negative review because they fear they'll get into a conflict and they don't want that, as an example.
Or they simply feel too embarrassed to make a review, let alone one in public and have somebody else get in the argument.

Honestly, to all that, all I can say is...Have no shame of yourself if others are trying to shame you for no good reason whatsoever other than their petty sycophantry.

I wouldn't demand that everyone writes long novels, and when someone criticizes, you can usually tell by the way they write that they mean well.

I don't remember that most of the authors here react too offended when factual criticism is expressed.

But if someone writes an "analysis" with the content "I don't like mission xyz, because it's total shit", then maybe he shouldn't do it or he shouldn't be surprised if he gets a good beating.

Replayed thanks, what a nice masterpiece. I had forgotten it.

Man I really have to learn doing ingame cutscenes. Then I can let an ai walk through a mission talking about all the good and not as good parts with the camera showing some of these scenes. I don't even have to voice him, I just use subtitles.. 😉

      i am so euphoric to see new FMs keep coming out and I am keen to try it out in my leisure time, then suddenly my PC is spouting a couple of S.M.A.R.T errors...
      tbf i cannot afford myself to miss my network emulator image file&progress, important ebooks, hyper-v checkpoint & hyper-v export and the precious thief & TDM gamesaves. Don't fall yourself into & lay your hands on crappy SSD

      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 ?
