Sotha 1908 Posted October 17, 2007 Report Share Posted October 17, 2007 Hi there!This modification has also picked my interest. My background: no dromed experience, but the thief universe and mood is quite familiar since I've played all the titles of the series plus several fan made missions. I've done some mapping before, mainly for my own amusement for Doom 1, Half-Life 1 and Farcry. More recently I started to fiddle with D3, using darkradiant and started making a medieval city setting using the textures from hell. If you need yet another beta mapper, I'd like to help. Here's some screenshots of my work: Quote Clipper-The mapper's best friend. Link to post Share on other sites
sparhawk 17 Posted October 17, 2007 Report Share Posted October 17, 2007 WOW! Considering that you only used vanilla D3 assets, you hit the Thief atmosphere right on the nail! Send a PM to New Horizon. NH, I think this speaks for itself, so he definitely has my vote. Some of the interior looks as if it could come almost directly from the dark engine.

New Horizon 496 Posted October 17, 2007 Report Share Posted October 17, 2007 Using our very own Dark Radiant as well. Sounds like it's unanimous. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Dammit, a 19 succeeds against my bluff check--barely. Your gamma in the screenshots are too low. Now I read it several times since yesterday, and I still don't understand what exactly it means.

sparhawk 17 Posted October 19, 2007 Report Share Posted October 19, 2007 Ah! Now I get the reference. Thanks! Quote Gerhard Link to post Share on other sites
OrbWeaver 598 Posted October 19, 2007 Report Share Posted October 19, 2007 I don't get the reference, but at least I am satisfied that a reference exists. (That reminds me of the joke about the mathematician who wakes up in the night to find that his bed is on fire. After noticing that there is a large jug of water next to him, he says "Ah, there's a solution" and goes back to sleep.)

Sotha 1908 Posted October 22, 2007 Author Report Share Posted October 22, 2007 I don't mean to sound overenthusiastic, but what's the final verdict concerning the matter mentioned on the topic? Quote Clipper-The mapper's best friend. Link to post Share on other sites
New Horizon 496 Posted October 22, 2007 Report Share Posted October 22, 2007 I would say that the response has been positive. I'll setup your beta mapping permissions. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Komag 20 Posted October 22, 2007 Report Share Posted October 22, 2007 A spot check in Dungeons & Dragons is simply when the Dungeon Master asks you to roll (or rolls himself in secret) a d20 die and add the result to your spot skill (which might be 8 or 3 or 19 or whatever). So you roll a 14 (pretty good roll on a d20 which goes from 1 to 20) and add your spot skill of 8, for a total of 22, which may or may not be high enough to spot the hidden thing, depending on the Difficulty Class set by the DM. If you are trying to spot a hiding monster or bad guy, your spot check will compete against his hide check. So if he was hiding and got a hide check of 19, your spot check of 22 would notice him. If he got a 22 your 22 would also spot him, just barely (the DM might say "you think you notice something over in the southeast corner shadow, but you're not sure").

I'm obtaining the mod at the moment and shivering about the daunting task of converting those vanilla textures on my work into TDM ones. Question barrage may ensue at a later time.
