Hola, I recently got DM and only played it on SP mode so far.
I always had a thing for this kind of Fantasy RPG games, even if in the middle and end of the story it turns more like a FPS shoot 'em up.. but anyways... I'm not sure if this was posted before but, aren't there any custom SP campaigns for download available anywhere? Or if its possible already for someone to make them wouldn't there be someone up to share their creations? xP
I really want to continue with the saga.
Thanks!

Well said.
No more idiot questions about "I can't install it" or "It won't work" too

As I said already, if only they named the "Find" button "Search"...

Wow, Im sorry? Didnt intend to touch a nerve with my question there.
Want me to say how l33t you are cause you know the answer of something that I didn't knew?

How do I lock/delete this thread before this turns into a smash the newb fest?
Thanks.

Sometimes, i feel ashamed of the rudeness of some of my co-members of this forum, NarayanPT. Your question is very valid, most people here would love to see a sequel or fan-made custom levels for singleplayer. Sadly this seems to have to remain a wish, blame ubisoft.
Instead of harrassing newcomers like 9y olds do, people better keep the discussion alive!

Well, I didn't had a penny for my answer...
Ubi made a lot(?) of money with this buggy game.

Perhaps, if someone should keep alive something it's not me...

After all, trying pushing the "Find" button and writing something usefull into, will avoid idiots like me get excited while reading "Custom SP" and "download" written together...

Which completely negates the purpose of having a forum... But anyway, I edited the topic of the thread.

Haha, I got a (nicer, but still) "use the find function" reply at another Forum a few days ago...even though I've been registered since 2005, just couldn't find what I've been looking for. Lol

Anyhow, DM has some great ambiance and I'd love to see some more stuff. Let's wait and see if Elements spawns some bugfixes first, I says.

Theres still hope for an SDK once sales for DM elements go down, They have reasons for keeping it down i guess because of the fact they dont want the levels copied. ( which make sense, if you think in the mentality that theyre not making any DM 2)

Well, sorry if Im wrong, but if in fact, the actual SDK for SP modding comes out, it would be open source eh? I've seen some ugly dirty-tricks by some people who took profit of open source stuff to make some changes in the games/programs and resell them as theirs, this is legal if we are talking about open source, most of the people don't know that though they always forget to read the statements written with small letters in the end of the contract before sign on it. What I think that Ubi fears is that to happen with DM, its a good game with good ideas, they just released it too early it didn't have too much work on it, speaking about story line and such, the bugs also proof that... and then someone 'smart' comes and 'steals' everything.. BUT! Maybe Im wrong?

You can't resell anything made from someone else.
DM is under copyright and TM, so, if you resell anything related, you're a thief.
Period.
And this even without reading statements.
The SDK implies that you'll use the mm.exe, so you must have DM in order to play with it.

If its Open source you can make adjustments to the game in general (not sure if SDK allows that, but lets pretend it does), rename the game, revamp it a bit, its still a theft but its legal, its stupid but it is.
I play in a RPG sim in SL, they have a community who developed a combat system and made it open source, someone from the developers team wanted to be 'smart', stole the whole code and made a new combat system, its exactly the same, it only has some different graphics and names on the races, but the mechanic is all the same... did they got yelled at? Hell yes, for months. Did they got in trouble? Nope. Its open source.
But again, Im not sure if it works this way for DM.. so maybe Im wrong, dont mind me

For DM you'll always need the mm.exe file to play.
Either you bought it or you stole it.

More like a year. Mana tried but had no sucess. Some people started spaming on other forums for arcane and such wanting it.

I wondered if Mana had tried modding the SP. I love his maps on MP but I would above all else love to see some more SP maps. Oh well, if it's not possible then I think that very unfortunate as that is the one part of this excellent game that I thought needed a little embellishment. I have a quick question though- I noticed on the Dark Messiah Files site there was a reskin of the orcs- Is it possible to access the files containing the texture library and change them? I suppose that question seems a little strange considering the answer would appear to be obvious but some games store textures in wierd places.

Well hes recently been experimenting with mixing maps from different games.

@celedrin

You can't mod SP!
You can only make some SP map with NPCs and models from DM SP for the very first version of the DM demo.

You can change every "material" (this is how source engine refers to for textures) in game, provided that you know how the source engine works and what's the name of material you want to change, since you can't add any new.

This is a good start

I mean maps from different games.
Like a DM MP map in TF2.

Ah, thanks for the link- anyways, another quick question. Do you think it could be possible to port the Single Player Levels intact into the demo where you could add additional levels in between (this has probably already been tried but I thought I would ask anyways). Also can you edit the MP maps or only add new ones (Sure would be nice to see Vradek's Crossing in the SP Demo).

1)SP maps are in a different format from Demo maps so you can't use SP levels in demo (this could let you to avoid buying the game...)

2)MP maps are in another different format (from both SP and demo), but, provided that you create a proper .fgd file for hammer, you can import the .map file from deathmatch SDK, trow away almost all entities, replace some textures and models, then recompile them for the demo.
