Irc

Just wondering, is there a The Dark Mod irc channel? Someone was asking in #thief on starchat the other day, and I wondered myself. Im interested in making FM's for TDM and Im practising with normal doom 3 radiant atm.

Thanks.

It would be fun to create an irc chat channel, however i dont think there will be any besides one that is locked and members only because team members would be asked too many questions about the mod and progress of it ... you know questions like... when will it be finished.

 

Besides its got a progress meter / update page

Would think it fun to meet the makers of the mod though, gives it another point of view to the public

As if a forum isn't enough, we would need an even more interactive way to kill time waiting for this mod?

That is just about why we all (outsiders) keep coming here, isn't it?

We have an IRC but that is barely used. The forum is better, because you don't have to wait for members showing up at the right time.

Well, I can see how that would be annoying. I wasnt thinking of it as being a "hay guys wherez the dark mod lol" kind of thing, more like for helping eachother with mapping/scripting etc. I guess I dont mean TDM so much as I mean TDM mapping or somthing. As I learn the editor I pick up a few tricks here and there, and Im sure pretty much everyone else knows more than I.

 

If anyones interested in somthing like that I'll create one on starchat (as Im in #thief etc already), or we could just use tdm's irc server. Its somthing that could probably just mimic the dromed channel except TDM isnt actually done.

 

Just a thought, I dont know of any other irc channels where I might go to ask radiant questions and the forum is somewhat slow.

The public forums are slow, sure - but the private ones are a buzz of activity, so there are people around.

 

Personally I don't use IRC. I know from experience that if I do enter a chatroom, my productivity immediately drops to zero and stays there. Same with instant messaging. It's a distraction which I can't afford.

 

Forums suck up a lot of my time too, but at least they don't interrupt!

hahaha, indeed, it does suck up too much time I was an IRC junkie at one time, can't say I want back that time I would become a Darkmod IRC junkie... now that does sound scary ... the only one in the room etc ... I can just picture it or rather I don't want to

But exactly this information is wasted on IRC, because in a forum everybody can read it. On IRC only people logged on can read it, and a few minutes later it's gone.

@BEAR: We do have a registered #darkmod channel on starchat. Feel free to use it for whatever purpose.
