The Dark Mod

[_Atti_]

I thought I'd post this here, as i think there are many people here who would be interested in this game because -besides the open-world aspect- it is similar to playing a rogue like character in a TES game or F3:

 

The Dark Mod (for Doom3) is a work of more than five years. It is both a game, and a toolset with assets for making content.

 

Darkmod-Wiki

 

There are already over 25 quests out there to play made by various fans/team members of the mod including a very detailed training level that leads new players

into the world of hiding in shadows..Picking locks by hearing the clicks of the lock, putting out lights and patrols, solving puzzles and not least filling the purse with stolen goods.

 

As different missions are from different authors the quality and style of them are varying, I'd suggest playing missions in the order they were released as earlier missions suit new players better.

As for modders, the assets and the Dark Radiant editor are very nice tools for any kind of sneaky/adventure/puzzler/exploring type of maps to realize with,

 

Have fun!

ps: I am no official representative of the mod, just thought i'd share this with you. (also i am not entirely sure if i didnt already write about this in this forum but the search didnt bring up anything so i guess i just wanted to do it before.

Wow, that looks amazing.

Im interested in this.

Seems a lot like they are copying Thief though, with that 'light-gem' type thing at the bottom of the screen.

I will definitely have to try this out if i can find my disks anywhere.

You do realise that's the entire point of the game? It's a fan-made Thief sequel. XD

The downloader/updater of the mod is resumable if paused/quit so if its not about a maximum download limit its not impossible :)

In a way, however -altough it refers to it heavily- its not based in the world of 'thief'. The game world is still kind of free to form, besides some already laid milestones.

Map builders could also choose to build out of this content however, its just harder to do it because most of the assets are based around this type of universe.

 

copying Thief

 

Following its base-lines, but it got enhanced and varied a lot.

 

-Time not stops while reading, you can also look around while reading.

-Sound based lockpicking with settable difficulty

-Rope physics, swinging, pulling down a box with your weight.

-object manipulating, rotating objects.

-expandable stim/response system that lets interactive objects work as they should. Candles can be lit from another fire-sources or put-out by any water source-etc..

and that list goes on..
