[3axap]

It has long followed the The Dark Mod, and only recently became possible to download and view it. This wonderfully. I admire. There desire to help you. I mapper. Experience about seven years. Make maps for Half-Life & Half-Life 2. There was never a bump in the team, did everything solo. Download impressed DarkRadiant, tried ... Need relearning , but the main already understood. All very similar to Valve Hammer Editor for HL 1/2. Here is a list of my work:

 

Half-Life 1 maps:

soryy my english

[sparhawk]

To me those screenshots look quite good. What do you think?

[greebo]

I love the caves screenshot of the WOH mod. Maybe you could show us what you can achieve with DarkRadiant?

[3axap]

I downloaded DarkRadiant recently, and inspired this remarkable project began to absorb it. It is now feel quite comfortable in it. Smudge already accustomed to button ESC:). Now check the possibility DarkRadiant on Thief `s Den base.

 

greebo, I will spare no effort.

[HappyCheeze]

Finding your way around darkradiant isn't too bad. I myself came from a hl1 and hl2 mapping background.

 

Can't wait to see your Thiefsden work

[demagogue]

Its post looks like it was written by Babelfish herself, lol.

No offense (on your English), just funny.

 

I love those outdoor screenshots. My kind of ambiance.

The author said he translated himself with particular use of Google. For all that Google translates a little better then Babelfish

I liked them too, but with reference to Dark Mod I found the dm_oldtown2 map more interesting:

[AstralninjA]

I noticed in your fire_element.avi video that you have "Sanctus" playing in the background. I'm a Lacrimosa fan myself .

 

Do you speak any German? If you do then there are plenty of native Germans on the forum that will help you out if English is giving you trouble.

 

My german is rather limited (I only know a few words and I can't speak a complete sentence) and I'm only getting started on learning Russian (I'm still learning the alphabet).

Don't be afraid my English.

 

AstralninjA, I don't speak German, know only: Hallo, und wein geh dir

[sparhawk]

You did this with the assets of Thiefs Den???

 

Looks really good!

[3axap]

sparhawk, no. These are screenshots from my HL2 map. I think it can look similar in Doom 3 engine.

[HappyCheeze]

If you can make a map like that for TDM, that will be perfect setting for a zombie town. Very nice!

[3axap]

HappyCheeze tnx, i like zombies.

 

Leads of project, what do you think? Can I be helpful?

Yes, I believe you can be helpful - although to be fair with all the other applicants, you'll have to show that you're capable of producing good stuff with DarkRadiant. Just show us some good work you made with the editor (possibly with the Thief's Den material) and I'm confident you'll get accepted.

[3axap]

No problem, but i need some time.

[3axap]

 This is my first testmap (or mirco test_FM for Thief `s Den), made in DarkRadiant.

 

Download archive, extract to any folder and read help file.

[Constantine]

Note that it's only a small test map that Zakhar has made to show his ability to work with DarkRadiant. It's not a full mission.

I helped Zakhar a little (testing, a couple of models). To my mind, it came out not bad

 

EDIT: The mission works correctly with Thief's Den only. While testing it in The Dark Mod I found some bugs with the lighting (I don't know cause of these bugs) and some others (like lacking model of the chest ).

[SneaksieDave]

Very cool! I'm playing with current SVN so of course there are some expected issues, but you've got some really nice areas here, ambience, etc. Hell there's already a potential mission here.

 

Needs more ambient light (on my system) though.

 

Edit: wow, I was commenting only part-way through, based on 3 rooms. There's much more. This is really good. If this is a 'test mission' I can't wait to see the real thing.

 

So far, I can't find the

key to get out

, or the

way to move the bookcase aside

. I'm hoping they're not SVN vs TD incompatibility issues, but I don't want to cheat in DarkRadiant.

[New Horizon]

Is there an ambient light in this map? I can't see a thing in dark areas.

[Constantine]

Is there an ambient light in this map? I can't see a thing in dark areas.

Hum, I didn't notice that the map has no ambient light. I explored it in DarkRadiant at first, so I didn't have problems with finding items

[New Horizon]

Hum, I didn't notice that the map has no ambient light. I explored it in DarkRadiant at first, so I didn't have problems with finding items

 

Yeah, it definitely needs a very low ambient to lift those pitch black shadows, and also lower the intensity of the regular lights...as they're quite washed out right now. I think we'll see this a lot with first time mappers.

 

That being said, it's an exceptionally well done map. I wouldn't have guessed it was based on Thiefs Den. Very different feel.

[3axap]

This is my firs map in all Radiant`s editor.

 

New Horizon,  I didn't use ambient_light...

 

SneaksieDave, not only 3 rooms, you can see street outside the window. A key needed for opening the chest, but there is enough gold on the map for finishing mission. The key not needed in principle. A secrect passage? Hehe.... Look for it.

[New Horizon]

New Horizon,  I didn't use ambient_light...

 

You definitely need to use one, otherwise your map will suffer from Doom 3's pitch black shadows.

 

Draw a single light around your entire map and make it ambientnfo or ambientlight_nofall. I forget what it's called, but it's something like that. Basically, that creates a non-shadowcasting, non-directional light. Set it to something very low. Use the ambient light from Thiefs Den if you're unsure how bright you should make it. Then, lower the intensity of your 'real' lights, so that they aren't washing out from being too bright.

[Constantine]

and also lower the intensity of the regular lights...as they're quite washed out right now.

 

New Horizon, are you testing it with current TDM version or with Thief's Den? As I wrote, I found bugs with lighting in TDM - the light of the candles is too bright, and casting double shadows (moving and still ones). Probably, the second light source appears near the candles. There is no this bug in Thief's Den on this map.

 

I agree with you concerning an ambient light.
