There's now an editable fan mission list on the wiki, for the sake of tracking missions made for The Dark Mod. Please read and follow the guidelines, and help keep the list up to date!

Direct link, but also accessible from the wiki title page:
http://modetwo.net/d...or_The_Dark_Mod

Discussion of changes (format, policies, entries, etc.) can take place in this thread.

---------------------------------------

There is also now a wiki page to track upcoming fan missions:
http://modetwo.net/d...ng_Fan_Missions

Submissions, progress, and any discussion for missions under construction can take place here: http://modetwo.net/d...g-fan-missions/

The list has been updated to allow for column sorting. Big thanks to Serpentine!

Might the list be adapted to host listings for WIPs? With an ETA column? Or Maybe another list entirely for this purpose? Or is there one already? I know there is a thread for showing screenshots and whatever, but, while that is great, it's not at-a-glance (and doesn't usually get an ETA out of the author {which, I know, but it is understood the E stands for estimated})

I definitely prefer separate lists for things like in-progress, demos, etc. Too many WIPs die out before release (leaving clutter and maintenance nightmare, and still others fall under vastly different opinions of progress level or activity to even warrant being listed) and demos aren't really fan missions. The wiki can and should certainly have separate pages for in-progress missions, tutorials, demos, prefabs, model packs, texture packs, sound packs, etc. This keeps the FM list an FM list, and clean.

Sounds cool to me.

I believe I fully agree actually. I just want my ETAs! ;)

Just browsing that list, say 25 FMs in around 40 weeks which is not bad and that should be boosted when the summer contest is out.

I think at some point we need a key for things like eg, GCC which had me scratching my head a few weeks back. No doubt there will be more acronyms to come.

not bad? it's great! In every less than 2 weeks, a fm is out. ;)

@Fidcal: Are you fixing any more FM's (besides your own Thief's Den 5)? Any clues about the numbers? :)

[Fidcal]

I think we have two small FMs that need completing. I'll review those and complete them if possible at some point. I know of another medium sized, good looking FM that I offered to complete but the author said he was resuming work on it which I'll chase up in a few months if I don't hear anything. I can't say more about that. Be tragic if that isn't finished.

Thanks Fidcal!

I am grateful for your efforts at preservation. :)

Enlighten me. I know it is the Christmas Contest, but what for is the 'G'? Game Christmas Contest? Grand Christmas Contest? Glory Christmas Contest? Good Christmas Contest? Gerry Christmas Contest? ....

edit: Never mind, I found it. It was 'Grand Christmas Contest'. :blink:

I put a Future Fan Mission proposal in the Discussion Tab for the Wiki article using the same formatting. Let me know if this is acceptable.

(The only upcoming Fan Missions I know of besides those listed for the Team Member profiles are:

Jdude's un-named cave example and GameDevGoro's "Lockdown"... )

Thanks.

Would it be ok to compile an upcoming FM List here?

While I would definitely be against it being on the completed FM list, it could have and probably deserves its own dedicated wiki page with linked forum thread for discussion.

[nbohr1more]

I'm guilty of putting all sorts of tangential stuff on the Discussion tab at wikipedia... For example I provided tips for manually adding Mp3 player software to an LG Rumor... Nobody really uses the Discussion tab for most wiki entries...

I have created the Upcoming Fan Mission Wiki and will now add a forum thread about it as well:

http://modetwo.net/d...ng_Fan_Missions

[nbohr1more]

Now that this thread has been re-labeled I will recommend that all further updates be posted here. The other Upcoming Fan Missions thread can ease into the sunset... :)

Edit:

Oh!

You've thrown the original "Upcoming" thread a bone and will leave it alive. I will update there. (Must learn to read...)
