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.

 

I've tried it in both. I'll run some further tests.

Tnx..

sparhawk, Если ты это прочитал, значит ты делаешь успехи :)

 

I managed it finally. Took me about 20 minutes. :)

 

If you (can) read this, you were successfull. :)

 

My current process of understanding written russian looks like this.

 

1. I look up every single character in a table that I found here http://www.russlandjournal.de/russisch/alphabet/ to get an estimate on how to pronounce it. This is primarily to get more used to interpreting the alphabet, because I really have a hard time reading it. :)

2. I write each character below the word, so that I know (more or less) how to pronounce it.

3. The I look up each word in a dictionary. Since my dictionary lacks a lot of word, I usually have to hunt them down online (I found a good one here for that purpose: http://russian.cornell.edu/rdt/index.htm).

4. Finally I try to make sense of it. :)

 

Of course I could simply put the whole sentence into google translation, but that would defeat the purpose.

 

At least I make some progress. I can already recognize some characters like ( the и ) so it helps. :) But it's painfully slow. I guess it will become faster once I pick up more and more. The only disadvantage is that I often don't know if the written word is spoken like I think it might. But at the moment I try to concentrate on learning some vocuablry to get me started. :)

[snip a lot of pain]

 

After six years of learning russian, I studied more than 10 years computers and technology, so I can now use a much faster process than that:

It's great! I'm really glad (and surprised) that TDM participants are interested in learning Russian.

 

The only disadvantage is that I often don't know if the written word is spoken like I think it might.

Specially for you I've recorded one short phrase.

Я желаю sparhawk'у успехов в изучении русского языка, и, конечно же, в разработке The Dark Mod!

I remember when I was studying German in school, a friend would ask me, "oh great, can you translate this Russian for me? German and Russian are almost the same language, right?" Lol, what? They're nothing even remotely alike. I always thought it was funny; some people are so clueless about the world.

 

Of course we studied a little Russian as kids because we all wanted to be spies when we grew up. B)

 

(As cool as that might have been, though, I'm happier to have Russian friends now...)

What do you see when you turn out the light? I can't tell you but I know that it's mine.

Of course I can use google translations. I can also ask my russian collegue, but that would defeat the purpose. :) I don't just want to know what it says, I want to be able to read and speak it. ;) I know that THEY can understand it.

LOL! I would understand it if they had said Russian an Polish or Czech or so, but German? :laugh:

 

I know for sure that polish and czech/slowakian is really similar, because I had a polish girlfriend once and she could easily talk with anybody in czechoslowakia (at that time). She said that the difference is like a different dialect.

 

I once heard a similar thing about finnish and hungerian. They come from the same source, so they are supposed to be similar. My father speaks fluently hungerian, and once in the train he met some fins. He remembered that I told him about this, and he tried to talk to them, but he said that they are totally different languages and he didn't understand anything, and neither did they. :laugh:

      Finally got my PC back from the shop after my SSD got corrupted a week ago and damaged my motherboard. Scary stuff, but thank goodness it happened right after two months of FM development instead of wiping all my work before I could release it. New SSD, repaired Motherboard and BIOS, and we're ready to start working on my second FM with some added version control in the cloud just to be safe!

      I've updated the articles for your FMs and your author category at the wiki. Your newer nickname (DeTeEff) now comes first, and the one in parentheses is your older nickname (Fieldmedic). Just to avoid confusing people who played your FMs years ago and remember your older nickname. I've added a wiki article for your latest FM, Who Watches the Watcher?, as part of my current updating efforts. Unless I overlooked something, you have five different FMs so far.

      I've finally managed to log in to The Dark Mod Wiki. I'm back in the saddle and before the holidays start in full, I'll be adding a few new FM articles and doing other updates. Written in Stone is already done.
