Still in same location of course

Now it's using automatic colour coding - just put a single letter in the status field or "exported" field and it will colour it appropriately according to the table on the right.

 

I replaced "animated" with "in progress", seems to make more sense.

 

With only 3 weeks to go, let's make good use of the "in progress" field, so that we can steal anims from each other if they haven't been started yet.

notify each other once you start an animation which has already been assigned otherwise you'll be doing twice the same amount of work. Also before you start a new animation check if any of your previous animations needs any refinements because once you come back to an old animation you'll always find something new to improve.

Well that's what the "in progress" status is for. As soon as you start work, change that status, and then when someone comes along looking for new anims to start, they won't choose yours, and they won't have to wait for an email reply :) So to save the most time, it's important we change that status as soon as we start work on it.

 

Also refinements should be left for after release - no point improving one thing when another critical thing doesn't even exist yet...

      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      I wanna play Doom 3, but fhDoom has much better features than dhewm3, yet fhDoom is old, outdated and probably not supported.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.

      Maybe a bit of advice ? In the FM series I'm preparing, the two main characters have the given names Toby and Agnes (it's the protagonist and deuteragonist, respectively), I've been toying with the idea of giving them family names as well, since many of the FM series have named protagonists who have surnames. Toby's from a family who were usually farriers, though he eventually wound up working as a cobbler (this serves as a daylight "front" for his night time thieving). Would it make sense if the man's popularly accepted family name was Farrier ? It's an existing, though less common English surname, and it directly refers to the profession practiced by his relatives. Your suggestions ?

      Looks like the "Reverse April Fools" releases were too well hidden. Darkfate still hasn't acknowledge all the new releases. Did you play any of the new April Fools missions?
