Beta mappers... I'm sure I speak for a huge chink of the community when I say... WTF is going on with your stuff? Since TDM is rolling out soon (holiday time?) I was wondering if we could get some screenies of your glorious work. Posted (links or something of the sort) here in this thread. I've played the alpha map. And it made me smile... alot. So if its cool with New Horizon, I'd like to see a (sticky?) home for showing off your work. Just so we can pee our pants with even more excitement than is already out there.

 

EDIT: Since NH said no... Come tell the community about campaigns and maps you already have in the works! We're dying to know what you have cooking! jdude's post below is adequate. Just give us a taste. Something. Please.

We never set an official date for release, only a 'potential' Beta release date (December 2008) and we've already discussed publicly that we're not going to make that target. We update the main site (www.thedarkmod.com) regularly, so nobody should be completely in the dark. ;)

 

As far as screen shots, we try to only release them officially on the main site. I'm sure we'll have more to show and tell in the coming weeks.

We've been hard at work and have a lot of awesome stuff made :) Unfortunately we don't have the clearance to post pics because they may have unannounced content. Also some of us want players to wait until the mod release so you can be surprised!

 

I'm sure this pic will help you understand how busy we've been. It's a pic from a map I've made, but scrapped unfortunately:

Yup, there are a good few of us steadily working on stuff, posting in the internal forums about issue and things. Between us and the more official main mappers, there should be a good strong handful of cool missions ready for the mod release (probably around next summer)

That's northern hemisphere summer, for the smart-asses and Australians in the audience. ;)

 

I do realise it's frustrating to not be able to see what's going on from the outside!

 

It's been said before and is worth repeating that this place is like ananthill. Just today there have been over 100 posts in the forum. (That's an estimate from here - I'm not sure whether that's a 24 hour rolling average, or if not when the starting time is. Presumably server midnight but I'm not sure of the server's time zone.) And this hasn't been an unusually busy day.

Whoops, I get the feeling I'm posting too much.

 

Blame my bosses for not blocking modetwo.net.

 

Come to work for my boss - I am not allowed to do private stuff on company time :D

Not at all. :) Your posts tend to be among the more productive.

      Was checking out old translation packs and decided to fire up TDM 1.07. Rightful Property with sub-20 FPS areas yay! ( same areas run at 180FPS with cranked eye candy on 2.12 )

      i am so euphoric to see new FMs keep coming out and I am keen to try it out in my leisure time, then suddenly my PC is spouting a couple of S.M.A.R.T errors...
      tbf i cannot afford myself to miss my network emulator image file&progress, important ebooks, hyper-v checkpoint & hyper-v export and the precious thief & TDM gamesaves. Don't fall yourself into & lay your hands on crappy SSD

      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.
