In spite of its age, (

That's from 2004. It was never part of a mission, just a room demo. It was either Renzatic or BlackThief working on it, I believe, but I have no idea where the texture came from.

Yes, I was wondering about that plaster texture myself. Very grotty, in good kind of way.

Like I said in Queue's editors guild thread, I'm pretty sure I got that texture from either Imageafter, or Mayang's Free Textures. Those were about the only two places I got base textures from back then.
Hell, there were a bunch of old textures we did back in the day I wouldn't mind redoing again. I actually had an old TDM backup I made in...I think...'05. The CD-R I used had gone transparent, and couldn't be read. So they're pretty well lost and gone forever. :(
This was the first texture I made that was a combination of normalmaps sourced from a model, and a single pass from the Nvidia filter. I think Fingernail helped me out with this one.
Man...nostalgia.

Yeah, man, I remember modelling that panel in lightwave I think. You know, back when I used to do stuff :(

Hehe, it's funny seeing the photoshopped lightgem that we put on there for 'show'.

Also funny that it's fully lit in pitch black shadow... :D

Hi ,
I would like to start some of Dark Mod missions and was wondering if you guys can help me with the selection. Which to start for the beginner? I really don't want to begin with very difficult missions, so something of moderate difficulty level would be great. Also, content wise, the latest missions are probably more developed, or am I mistaken?
