Announcing the release of the third William Steele mission!

http://i.minus.com/itlMALHVeLhoD.jpgSummaryCleighmoor takes Steele inside Cleighmoor Gaol, where Warden Fielder likes nothing better than a glass of wine and some cheese, while watching a miscreant hang from his gallows. Steele is tracking down the evidence of his parents' murder. The mission starts in the sewers, and progresses to Cleighmoor's compound.
The William Steele MissionsCleighmoor is the third of several Steele missions. Altogether they'll tell a story of corruption, greed, and revenge. At some point, I'll start packaging them as a campaign, in addition to the single missions.
If you haven't played WS1: In the North, or WS2: Home Again, I suggest you complete those before playing WS3: Cleighmoor.
DownloadCleighmoor is available in the in-game downloader.
As an alternate, you can download it from (
https://www.dropbox.com/s/cbhw3fj8mhntgvx/ws3_cleighmoor.zip) here and (
http://www.taffersparadise.net/darkmod/ws3_cleighmoor.zip) here Create a folder named "fms/ws3_cleighmoor/" in your TDM folder and unzip the two files into that folder. WS3: Cleighmoor will then appear on TDM's "New Mission" page.
Build TimeNearly 4 years. (This was my first attempt at a mission, and it sat on the back burners until being folded into Steele's story.) I18n - Cleighmoor is ready for translation.
ThanksThanks to the TDM team for creating a terrific platform for storytelling and stealth gaming. Thanks to my beta testers: AluminumHaste, Bikerdude, Goldwell, Xarg, Lux, Moonbo, Deadlove, and plotzzz. Thanks to Goldwell for his voice work on the conversations. And thanks to YOU, for playing!
Known IssuesThis is a large mission. To ease the burden on older systems, consider shutting doors behind you as you go. Some players have experienced savegame crashes when playing large missions with TDM 2.01. This problem is under investigation. Until it's corrected, I suggest you make frequent saves. If you experience low frame rates, please consult the Performance Tweaks page on the Wiki.
Performance TweaksFor very low end PCs I recommend the following settings:
Code:
V-sync is off
AA is off
Aniso is 4x or lower
Advanced settings are simple/default
Post processing is disabled
Anyone having performance issues with TDM missions can put the following cvars into their Darkmod.cfg file. This will improve the framerate and stutter/chop when in-game, but may increase loading times a little.
Code:
image_usePrecompressedTextures "1"
image_useNormalCompression "2"
image_useAllFormats "1"
image_useCompression "1"
image_preload "1"
ImportantThis mission requires TDM 2.01 or later. The William Steele story is heavy with readables. Please try to read every readable you find. Most importantly, Enjoy!
WS4: The WarrensSteele ventures into The Warrens, a dangerous flooded area near Bridgeport's docks. No release date yet.
