I was looking through my bookmarks and I found an image of a building I made around the time I first joined more than a year ago! I don't know where the map file went but I really wanted to post this image because it looks interesting :) I thought maybe it would be a good idea to have a thread where everyone can post any mapping images they like as a showcase!

Ahaha, Escher! Did you make that yourself, or find it somewhere? Even if you just found it, good find!

 

I have some "Castlemolds" miniature molds for medieval model making, but I haven't really used them yet. My wife made a little something out of them. But here is someone with a great eye, recreating the real illusion:

Yeah I made that one myself when I was starting to do work with you guys a while ago.

I always assumed I'd taste like boot leather.

Damnit. Every time I see something like that, like this,

or this,

I get a mix of feelings. Awe at how simple(!) and beautiful it is, and frustration that I can't seem to do it myself. I make it much harder than it is, apparently, in my mind, and defeat myself at the start. Though I can get self-pleasing results once in a while, I just don't seem to have the wiring for envisioning such design as a whole, top-down and then building it up from the parts. There's also the approach of build-as-you-go, but that requires a different kind of talent, and the tenacity to stick through the rough spots, when it's little more than a blocky concept-mess.

 

When I see something like those castle models, it gives me energy and inspiration to build. As such I have literally more than 1500 photos I've scoured from the web over the last year or two (brodyaga.ru is a favorite). But the building is the exciting, and easy part. It's the damn concept building skill I need!

 

Stupid right brain! Work better! :angry:

Same here. Some people simple can, and then is me :(

      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      I wanna play Doom 3, but fhDoom has much better features than dhewm3, yet fhDoom is old, outdated and probably not supported.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 ?

      Looks like the "Reverse April Fools" releases were too well hidden. Darkfate still hasn't acknowledge all the new releases. Did you play any of the new April Fools missions?
