Opinions on St. Lucia Demo

Recommended Posts

By the way, I also wanted to ask:

 

1. Saint Lucia seems incomplete without the crypt added. Is it going to be added?

2. Even this map seems to be larger than the standard Thief 3 maps, how large are you capable of making maps? I played Doom 3 a bit and their maps seem to be pretty big.

 

2. I have seen some extremely large TDM maps currently in alpha/beta stages. Thief 3 Deadly Shadows will be put to shame. :)

1. You're referring to the

unopenable door in the passage down the bottom?

It's been a long time, but IIRC

there is a crypt behind that door, you just need to find an alternate route into it.

I could be wrong though - might be thinking of another area.

 

2. Yup. There's at least one I'm thinking of that's epic. :)

Wait you mean the place that you go to by elevator with one guard? Well I guess that makes sense now...Lol, I was kind of expecting some haunts or zombies I guess. Just seemed to small to be a "real" crypt Lol

Yes, Jdude wants to update it for a new release, but he's pretty busy atm.

Awesome!

 

And - indeed - THANK you guys! Great work, great passion, great fun, great community ongoing!

Task is not so much to see what no one has yet seen but to think what nobody has yet thought about that which everybody see. - E.S.

My computer was being repaired for the last few weeks (just got it back), but shortly before it broke I finally got a chance to play through the "The Tears of Saint Lucia" mission. And I want to saw how good it is, everything is so well done! :) Great level design, story, voices, lighting, just the whole thing is quite polished and it gives you an idea of just how powerful the Doom III engine combined with The Dark Mod is for making elaborate Thief missions. Felt like a real Thief story in this mission, and I can't wait to see what great Thief fan missions the many dedicated Thief fans out there will make using The Dark Mod. :)

I'll be updating it for TDM1.0 just enough so that it works and you guys can replay it. Everytime I think I'm going to get time to do it I end up being wrong though which has sucked. I really want to get it done for an Xmas present :P

 

The reasons are:

1) Me and Fidcal have a project which is an entirely new level so there'd be no point into putting a bunch of effort into adding to saintlucia when you have this entirely new map! :)

 

2) I officially finish my undergrad degree (BBA) in 3 weeks :) And I'm so tired from studying I feel like I'm going to die :P

Hi guys, I need help.

 

 

How do I drop the hammer on the Lucia statue? Oh, and while I'm at it, where do I find the ...thing that makes the statue weep?

 

 

Thanks in advance!

Yes. Climb up the wooden scaffolding, and run at the hammer to push it off the scaffolding and onto the statue. Might take some fiddling but it's definitely doable.

Thanks, guys. After a little trying I managed to do it.

 

 

Turns out I had canted the hammer slightly by not pushing it in exactly the direction the mapper had intended me to.

 

 

All ist well, and now off to the thingy that makes the statue weep. You don't happen to remember where that was?

If you're talking about the relic, you need to look:

 

hint:

 

 

in the priest's room

 

 

major hint:

 

 

look for a button to open a secret door

 

 

giveaway:

 

 

it's behind the pot on the bookshelf

      You cannot receive PMs. Could you please be so kind and check your mailbox if it is full (or maybe you switched off the function)?

      I like the new frob highlight but it would nice if it was less "flickery" while moving over objects (especially barred metal doors).

      Well then, it's been about a week since I released my first FM and I must say that I was very pleasantly surprised by its reception. I had expected half as much interest in my short little FM as I received and even less when it came to positive feedback, but I am glad that the aspects of my mission that I put the most heart into were often the most appreciated. It was also delightful to read plenty of honest criticism and helpful feedback, as I've already been given plenty of useful pointers on improving my brushwork, level design, and gameplay difficulty.
      I've gotten back into the groove of chipping away at my reading and game list, as well as the endless FM catalogue here, but I may very well try my hand at the 15th anniversary contest should it materialize. That is assuming my eyes are ready for a few more months of Dark Radiant's bright interface while burning the midnight oil, of course!
