Uhhh, yummy! That animation is fantastic - much less wooden than some of the TDS ones.

 

I must say as regards textures, the use of spec maps seems to be making all the difference in getting good texture out of the models. They have much more graphic depth to them than those in TDS - and indeed most others I've seen. It's plain that TDM is going to be a helluva lot better graphicswise than Deadly Shadows - never mind gameplaywise.

I'll update YOUR progress!

Yes

 

Is a mod not a standalone game .

[Domarius]

You can bet your lockpicks.

Will we require that Resurrection of Evil expansion?

 

If so, why?

If not, why not?

[Domarius]

No we won't.

 

Apparently some fixed bugs or features or something are good in ROE expansion, but we would endevour to carry those individoual things across rather than require the expansion.

 

As for why not - we're already asking a bunch of stealth fans to go out and buy Doom 3. Asking them to also purchase the expansion pack is a bit rich.

[Ishtvan]

*Unless by the time we release, D3 + expansion pack is like $15

[Domarius]

Yeah well - here's to hoping it doesn't take that long.

No, we're going to pay id $500,000 to licence the engine, and then give to you for free.

Currently it doesn't. Simply because there is not enough stuff in there that it warrants to add this to the project. And also it would require everybody to buy the expansion pack as well. We may reconsider this, if something is needed which is only available in the pack, but until than you wont needed it.

You might not need to, if id open-source the D3 engine before TDM is released.

[sparhawk]

Well, we hope that this doesn't happen.
