AluminumHaste: neat! It looks very hardware-intensive, though; there is no way you could visportal that thing any way.

Come the time of peril, did the ground gape, and did the dead rest unquiet 'gainst us. Our bands of iron and hammers of stone prevailed not, and some did doubt the Builder's plan. But the seals held strong, and the few did triumph, and the doubters were lain into the foundations of the new sanctum. -- Collected letters of the Smith-in-Exile, Civitas Approved

Hello thieves,  the other day I realized my last Volta release was in 2017! Time really flies.  After years of fiddling with this project, I'm ready to announce the remaining missions in the Volt

Added some temporary lights to FM that is just entering beta - I guess there is not much to show if all lights are off in your mission...   http://forums.thedarkmod.com/topic/19886-fm-marsh-of-rahena-

Got back to DR and added a few rooms to my WIP ...

Nope, just make sure all really complicated geometry is inside visportaled areas, like in the building. The outside buildings are very bear to keep the performance as high as possible. Also changing all the cave geometry to func_statics also greatly improved performance.

I always assumed I'd taste like boot leather.

Theres like a big tree, in a cave, with a waterfall, and a thing with a whatsit. its CRAZYNESS!!

 

If i was a master thief and i wandered into that cave, i'd walk right the hell back out, no thank you sir!

I'll stick to the suburbs of ordinary sleeping citizens who have some loot on a bookshelf and maybe in a chest, and are sleeping on a bed in the bedroom.

that cave is probably full of wood elf ghosts that sleep on their bookshelves and put the loot on the bed. i'm not ready for it.

Awesome use of textures Rek!

And the tree etc looks very interesting... different. Are AI reacting 'realistically' when alerted, no map wide alerts etc? :)

 

Took some pics of areas in my map, but the lighting looks very bad in screenshots; worse if the gamme is bumped up. Instead have some more texture work. Both are complete but still extremely high res, intended for outside use as all the other wall materials didnt suit loosely constructed things, look okay inside too :)

I think I may be stuck with map wide alerts, but I'm doing some experiments that might help

 

EDIT: Are those new? Those are gorgeous.

Very nice and I certainly don't mind hires, please don't scale them down! :wub:

They need a bit more work, I have some other nice high res doors, grass, roofing, leaves and such to finish up and then I will donate the pack. I have a nasty habit of doing far too much at once... and when I work from source I clean up and end with overly clean textures, adding realistic dirt and grime seems a problem!

 

As for the walls, they are 2048x1024 (6mb per tga), seemed a nice size to crop to. They also have trim versions for the top of walls etc.

 

Now, get back to putting some pretty WIP map images up! don't forget to cross post some of them to the TTLG board, they could use some eyecandy too ;)

That *does* look good! That wall buttress near the torch can be softened with grime corner decals. I wonder if it might be done with one tall vertical inverted bevel with a reverse grime. I did a version that is kind of like the torch smut but square. That would fit right in there. I think. Needs to be a very small radius. I might try that myself - only just thought of it.

Yummy, just what we can use!

I also want to share some of my work! This is my first "real" mission (after the tutorial which I didn't complete because I was to eager to start making my own missions ;) ) And of course it's a huge mission, so almost every picture is a WIP...

Those are wonderful, very atmospheric.

tried creating some textures:

post-73-126765511766_thumb.jpg

 

also i discovered something while trialing with making maps:

Dont know if that's new for anyone but i found that the ladder material can be used to make for example a slideable rope.

All you need to do is put it horizontally(slightly ramping in the sliding direction) up in the air just in height so the player can "reach" it ,

if the player jumps on it, he slides down on it as long as he keeps direction of it ( a wider ladder surface means its easier not to fall off )

 

Overally if set up nice, this feels quite like the thing, the speed, the getting on/off.. and there is no damage involved as far as i tested. On my testmap i slided down quite a height on a long rope and the player made it just fine, he couldnt slide up or anything i think its mostly issue-free besides the unrealisticness of when the player holds something and still pulls it off.

      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?
