New to TDM Mission Questions

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.

      Finally got my PC back from the shop after my SSD got corrupted a week ago and damaged my motherboard. Scary stuff, but thank goodness it happened right after two months of FM development instead of wiping all my work before I could release it. New SSD, repaired Motherboard and BIOS, and we're ready to start working on my second FM with some added version control in the cloud just to be safe!

      I've updated the articles for your FMs and your author category at the wiki. Your newer nickname (DeTeEff) now comes first, and the one in parentheses is your older nickname (Fieldmedic). Just to avoid confusing people who played your FMs years ago and remember your older nickname. I've added a wiki article for your latest FM, Who Watches the Watcher?, as part of my current updating efforts. Unless I overlooked something, you have five different FMs so far.

      I've finally managed to log in to The Dark Mod Wiki. I'm back in the saddle and before the holidays start in full, I'll be adding a few new FM articles and doing other updates. Written in Stone is already done.

      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)?
