By the way, I also wanted to ask:

 

1. Saint Lucia seems incomplete without the crypt added. Is it going to be added?

2. Even this map seems to be larger than the standard Thief 3 maps, how large are you capable of making maps? I played Doom 3 a bit and their maps seem to be pretty big.

 

2. I have seen some extremely large TDM maps currently in alpha/beta stages. Thief 3 Deadly Shadows will be put to shame. :)

I'll ask in the internal forums, and someone will contact you (imagine a dark and rainy night, a knock on your door, and a well, we leave that to your imagination

Actually I created a big enough shadow with the book for the player model to hide in it. But the room was still lit. It is something when an elephant tries to hide behind a very thin tree.

1. You're referring to the

unopenable door in the passage down the bottom?

It's been a long time, but IIRC

there is a crypt behind that door, you just need to find an alternate route into it.

I could be wrong though - might be thinking of another area.

 

2. Yup. There's at least one I'm thinking of that's epic. :)

Wait you mean the place that you go to by elevator with one guard? Well I guess that makes sense now...Lol, I was kind of expecting some haunts or zombies I guess. Just seemed to small to be a "real" crypt Lol

Yes, Jdude wants to update it for a new release, but he's pretty busy atm.

Awesome!

 

And - indeed - THANK you guys! Great work, great passion, great fun, great community ongoing!

Task is not so much to see what no one has yet seen but to think what nobody has yet thought about that which everybody see. - E.S.

My computer was being repaired for the last few weeks (just got it back), but shortly before it broke I finally got a chance to play through the "The Tears of Saint Lucia" mission. And I want to saw how good it is, everything is so well done! :) Great level design, story, voices, lighting, just the whole thing is quite polished and it gives you an idea of just how powerful the Doom III engine combined with The Dark Mod is for making elaborate Thief missions. Felt like a real Thief story in this mission, and I can't wait to see what great Thief fan missions the many dedicated Thief fans out there will make using The Dark Mod. :)

I'll be updating it for TDM1.0 just enough so that it works and you guys can replay it. Everytime I think I'm going to get time to do it I end up being wrong though which has sucked. I really want to get it done for an Xmas present :P

 

The reasons are:

1) Me and Fidcal have a project which is an entirely new level so there'd be no point into putting a bunch of effort into adding to saintlucia when you have this entirely new map! :)

 

2) I officially finish my undergrad degree (BBA) in 3 weeks :) And I'm so tired from studying I feel like I'm going to die :P

Hi guys, I need help.

 

 

How do I drop the hammer on the Lucia statue? Oh, and while I'm at it, where do I find the ...thing that makes the statue weep?

 

 

Thanks in advance!

Yes. Climb up the wooden scaffolding, and run at the hammer to push it off the scaffolding and onto the statue. Might take some fiddling but it's definitely doable.

Thanks, guys. After a little trying I managed to do it.

 

 

Turns out I had canted the hammer slightly by not pushing it in exactly the direction the mapper had intended me to.

 

 

All ist well, and now off to the thingy that makes the statue weep. You don't happen to remember where that was?

If you're talking about the relic, you need to look:

 

hint:

 

 

in the priest's room

 

 

major hint:

 

 

look for a button to open a secret door

 

 

giveaway:

 

 

it's behind the pot on the bookshelf

      Does anyone actually use the Normalise button in the Surface inspector? Even after looking at the code I'm not quite sure what it's for.

      Turns out my 15th anniversary mission idea has already been done once or twice before! I've been beaten to the punch once again, but I suppose that's to be expected when there's over 170 FMs out there, eh? I'm not complaining though, I love learning new tricks and taking inspiration from past FMs. Best of luck on your own fan missions!

      I wanna play Doom 3, but fhDoom has much better features than dhewm3, yet fhDoom is old, outdated and probably not supported. Damn!
      Makes me think that TDM engine for Doom 3 itself would actually be perfect.

      Maybe a bit of advice ? In the FM series I'm preparing, the two main characters have the given names Toby and Agnes (it's the protagonist and deuteragonist, respectively), I've been toying with the idea of giving them family names as well, since many of the FM series have named protagonists who have surnames. Toby's from a family who were usually farriers, though he eventually wound up working as a cobbler (this serves as a daylight "front" for his night time thieving). Would it make sense if the man's popularly accepted family name was Farrier ? It's an existing, though less common English surname, and it directly refers to the profession practiced by his relatives. Your suggestions ?

      Looks like the "Reverse April Fools" releases were too well hidden. Darkfate still hasn't acknowledge all the new releases. Did you play any of the new April Fools missions?
