Oh man what an ugly title screen. Who'd you commission that from, a 12 year old? Gosh, standards are slipping.

 

Really fun and innovative, and quite the time-sink as a result. Hope people enjoy playing it as much as I did, especially as it's improved since.

Yeesh, I'd love to "like" the compliment, but not endorsing teasing about Kyyrma's title screen, it was way outvoted compared to mine too! ;p

 

Thanks all!

No, it didn't, and nothing has changed with that stuff since before beta test. I just ran through where that's used, having downloaded it from the installer myself without troubles.

 

But given that message, I'd have to say ouch!

 

First thought would be to delete/download again. Second thought would be we'd have to ask Sotha, but I don't see any file that could be missing related to that in his .zip unfortunately.

 

Anyone else seeing that message?

 

Edit: Turns out that was a pre-release bug of TDM 2.02.

Whelp, I just removed everything here, downloaded from the installer fresh, and ran through where that's used twice with no problems. (And it's still happily going in the background with timescale 2.)

Sorry, I learn more from posts than polls! (But vote for egg salad personally.)

 

In terms of the error, I'm guessing maybe a RAM issue or something like that locally? Wait, _56...does that mean there are 55 previous ones?!?? Somebody get something stuck in his fly?

Congrats on the release, and for giving me credits, although I completely forgot why :P (really, I can't remember)

 

It's good to see that since we've got standalone the number of FM authors seems to increase.

 

Will play this mission the next days as my download rate has expired today (Thank you new thiaf :angry: )

A question - is this intended

In the mages room it isn't possible to put out both candles as if you put out the second one the first one relights - I got round the problem by carrying them into the next room

One thing I thought was most unfair

the loot bottles aren't any different to non loot bottles and some of the loot items aren't usually and vice versa

What is it all about this title screen everyone talks about?

 

Well you see, there was that vote to determine whose was the best loading screen, the winner of which would be used for the FM. Kyyrma rigged the vote, obviously, by buying votes from people on the forums, and my masterpiece was barely noticed amidst the onslaught of illegitimate votes. I wouldn't trust him if I were you.

 

The title screen is cool!

Yes it is! :-) Blame the occupant for that effect.

 

One thing I thought was most unfair...

 

My condolences on using varied skins, I get tired of knowing from a distance in other FMs if I should bother even entering the room or heading toward that wine rack, preferring to mix things up a bit and bring back the exploration/unknown. I'm surprised more mappers don't use the various skins provided.

 

However, I do compensate by not having most things highlight, so in these cases only the valuable things pop out at you. I'm not a fan of needle in the haystack either.

Honestly I don't recall the specific thing either, I'd have to poke through forum posts over the past three months, heh! But there was something specifically tricky, and took some orchestration, one of those, "and if that doesn't work, we can script it" type of things. ;-)

 

Thanks for the positive vibes all, I hope it exceeds anticipations.

Now don't be a sore loser Merry, I'll make sure to send you a signed hard-copy so you can hang it on your wall ;)

 

And once more congrats on the release RJ! I'm glad I could help test this mission despite being a bit unreliable due to work. Funny thing, I was playing the review copy of Thiaf at the time. Every time I found the time to do some testing on your map, I was reminded by how much more I enjoy the Thief/TDM flair of stealth.

 

It's a great FM with an original twist to it. Highly recommended!

      You cannot receive PMs. Could you please be so kind and check your mailbox if it is full (or maybe you switched off the function)?

      I like the new frob highlight but it would nice if it was less "flickery" while moving over objects (especially barred metal doors).

      Well then, it's been about a week since I released my first FM and I must say that I was very pleasantly surprised by its reception. I had expected half as much interest in my short little FM as I received and even less when it came to positive feedback, but I am glad that the aspects of my mission that I put the most heart into were often the most appreciated. It was also delightful to read plenty of honest criticism and helpful feedback, as I've already been given plenty of useful pointers on improving my brushwork, level design, and gameplay difficulty.
      I've gotten back into the groove of chipping away at my reading and game list, as well as the endless FM catalogue here, but I may very well try my hand at the 15th anniversary contest should it materialize. That is assuming my eyes are ready for a few more months of Dark Radiant's bright interface while burning the midnight oil, of course!
