(
http://mindplaces.com/darkmod/) New update! Yay!
The new screenshot looks gorgeous, and the coder post gives some good insight on how hard it must be to think of (not to mention implement) everything the AI must be able to do.
I'm not sure I like lights that are switched off to count as evidence of an intruder though. Usually there'll be a lot of people in say, a mansion, who could have turned it off. Fuel-based light sources can also be unreliable and douse themselves by accident or just run out of fuel.
If they become suspicious when they see a light go out right in front of their noses, or an entire wing of the mansion has suddenly gone dark, that's a different matter, of course.
It may not be considered evidence of an actual intruder, could just be that it adds a little more suspicion to an affected AI and they would go to alert a little faster than normal. Perhaps the equivalent of the heebie jeebies. :) It's all going to come down to tweaking things in the end of course. Some things we implement may end up being completely wrong for this type of gameplay, you never know until the end of the day. :)

I don't mean to be rude but... those screenshots look no better than the original ones.

I'm hoping that you have read all the posts, because we've said numerous times that they're not official Dark Mod screen shots. Nor were they intended to be anything more than a quick proof of concept.

Re: those bafford images above...just to avoid any confusion, those were made independently by someone without using The Dark Mod at all (which is why you can see the Doom fists). They aren't our textures or models.

Where do you live? I'm just outside of Philly myself.

:erm: ...the ones are the left ARE the originals. The ones on the right are the new ones, sort of.

I like the comparison. It shows how close already the Doom 3 engine can be done, even without using our textures. :) At least it should show that the D3 engine can do this, because some seem to think (or thought) that D3 can never look like Thief.

Unfortunately some people are perpetual naysayers.
We will prove them wrong in the end.
