If you're taking requests, Arcturus, we could definitely use some very poor, dirty, textures for our slums map.

I don't think the brick+wood textures are useful, unless the player never sees them close.

 

It is apparent that the bricks don't line up with the wood, and nobody would put bricks into such a wood frame, anyway, as they are way to heavy and would excert too much force on the wood frame.

It's only a model...

I thought they looked a bit odd to, but I guess it is done.

 

 

 

However I imagine that it's purely cosmetic and the wood is actually outside the bricks. I don't think the wood is there to hold the bricks.

 

Umm, I type that and THEN look at the second pic...

The question is how deep the bricks go, or if they are only a very thin shell around the inner parts of the wall. The second picture for instance looks like if it is seen from the side like this:

The most interesting things are happening between bricks and timber. If you just put timber beams on top of bricks without any "interaction" between those materials it looks a bit artificial.

Very good, these will come in handy for sections of my mill :)

Thanks :) I made another one:

This one's a collage of a plaster and few stone textures from TDM base.

 

Cool, although I associate these plaster more with modern buildings :)

 

While you are at it, could you please make brick textures that consist of:

 

* single rows of bricks without interleaving (1 x 16 bricks is enough)

* brick arches with different diameters

 

? These would be very useful for making arches. I can do some mockups if you want.

I'd like to see some really good cut stone textures.

 

Much like the red bricks Tels wants. Just a row of stones that tiles vertically. Would be really nice for making arches with patches and not having to try and align vertically to work around splits in bricks.

 

I'd also like to see stone base textures that match the bricks to use on matching pillars or bricks made with the clipper.

      I've updated the articles for your FMs and your author category at the wiki. Your newer nickname (DeTeEff) now comes first, and the one in parentheses is your older nickname (Fieldmedic). Just to avoid confusing people who played your FMs years ago and remember your older nickname. I've added a wiki article for your latest FM, Who Watches the Watcher?, as part of my current updating efforts. Unless I overlooked something, you have five different FMs so far.

      I've finally managed to log in to The Dark Mod Wiki. I'm back in the saddle and before the holidays start in full, I'll be adding a few new FM articles and doing other updates. Written in Stone is already done.

      You cannot receive PMs. Could you please be so kind and check your mailbox if it is full (or maybe you switched off the function)?

      I like the new frob highlight but it would nice if it was less "flickery" while moving over objects (especially barred metal doors).
