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.

      Hey @nbohr1morehow come the zombies in The Dark Mod don't have a "resurrection" mechanic to it, similar to how Thief has it?
      They're quite a weak creature as of right now, it's merely a walking corpse that slashes you, making attacking them to kill them an actual strategy.
      Would be better if they had some cool mechanism to it that truly makes them a danger, such as the resurrection idea itself.

      Query: when was the last time a zombie in a video game was unnerving or scary to you? I'm chipping away at my anniversary submission and I've been trying to gather opinions on the subject. I'm perfectly capable of lighting them well, changing their sfx, and creating effective ambience, but I'm worried that zombies at their core are just too overdone to be an effective payoff to the tension I'm creating.

      Has anyone had any luck with textures from Polyhaven? Their OpenEXR normal maps seem too washed out and give incorrect shading in the engine.

      I tried to upscale the TDM logo video. First try:

      briefing_video.mp4 You can test it ingame by making a copy of the core tdm_gui.mtr and place it in your-tdm-root/materials/ , then edit line 249 of that file into the location where you placed the new briefing.mp4 file.
      What I did was I extracted all the image files, then used Upscayl to upscale the images using General photo (Real-Esrgan) upscale setting and then turn it back into a video.
      I might have to crop it a bit, the logo looks smaller on screen (or maybe it's actually better this way?). My video editor turned it into a 16:9 video, which I think overal looks better than 1:1 video of original.
