New to TDM Mission Questions

[Sycamoyr]

Hello, I just started playing TDM and I was wondering.... Are missions always marked 1,2,3, etc if they are in a series? What about ones with similar names, for example: "The Builder's Blocks", "The Builder's Roads", and "The Builder's Influence"; these were all done by different authors as the site says, but I wonder before I play them if I am playing out of sequence.

I've been playing in order of release date, but it would be nice to know for certain, thanks.

Don't worry about similar names. For example, with Builders in this universe, there's bound to be more than a few missions with "Builders" in their names. This doesn't mean they're related.

 

When you see numbers (for example "WS1:", "WS2:", and "WS3:" you should play them in order. There are a few mission sets that are numbered.

 

As for the rest, play them in any order you like.

 

Welcome and have fun!

The Missions link on the TDM main page has all the series correctly numbered/ordered as far as I know. The Thomas Porter series is a good example (and many great missions).

 

You can use that as a guide when using the ingame downloader or you can download them from there and toss them in your "fms" directory as .pak4 files. When you launch the game and click the "New Mission" in-game, it will show the new ones you've placed in the "fms" directory.
