Does this work? https://www.pcgamingwiki.com/wiki/Thief#Disable_shroud_effect_.28black.2Fwhite_fog_at_screen_edges.29

Uh, you surely didn't pick the easiest map to start with. This is more like bat shit crazy complexity. Kudos for persevering and even enjoying it though. It's a nice mission. It's just... big and complex.

Is @Bienie still around? It says he hasn't been online for more than a year...

Blasphemy!

Me too. Also the other FMs which were released on the 1st of April. Not a fan of speedruns, so, that optional objective will be just ignored.

Bit of a shame that it's "only" the standard edition, not the one with all the addons. But, probably complaining on a high level, when it's free.

Last but not least, this could be a monitor setting. Some, if not most monitors allow to configure how the monitor is going to display different aspect ratios. Although I'm not quite sure now if it also displays on screenshots like that then. Edit: Thinking about it... nope, it probably wouldn't display on screenshots.

Nice little mission, I just finished it. I liked the amount of detail (something bigger missions often suffer from - lack of detail). Liked the theme, liked the humour. Not much not to like.

Yeah, I don't expect it to happen in the next few years, but, they went all in, and, that's a very dangerous approach. It won't be an issue for me, as I have most of the stuff I own on Epic on Steam. I just wonder what will happen, as they had such generous offers. And, nope, piracy isn't an option for me in any case. I consider it plain wrong, morally and ethically. Losing my games from an online service doesn't change anything about it, especially as neither the publishers nor the developers are at fault.

Epic doesn't quit trying to get some market share. I wonder what happens with all my (free) games when Epic decide to call it a day.

On an offtopic note: I always liked those, also in non-contest missions. Wished every FM author would add them to their mission release threads.

Now you just have to get half of the A.I. in the level to be alerted, and it'll be perfect.

Which would make me ask for the point of doing such a thing though. If you alert half the map anyway, then you can just shout "Hey ho! I'm the Thief! Here I am!". In my opinion - interesting suggestion. Would it make sense in a real life scenario? Nope, not at all.

Sounds like a good idea to me. I'm all for breaking glass, also windows (the "penalty" is that it should be very loud to A.I. So, a thing you surely will only do very rarely.). I think this will take a lot of consideration on the mapper side, though. Amount of arrows in the starting gear and in the mission itself, consideration where to put destructable lamps, and where to avoid them. Not to mention that I don't know how much effort has to be put in the technical side (making the lamp destructable and killing the light it sheds). Thinking about it, I think it kinda defeats the "stealth" element, doesn't it? Why would you make loads of noise and possible alert half the A.I. in a mission, for pretty little benefit? A thief surely will do everything to avoid that kind of noise and attention.

For people who have the same question, where did you find it? ThiefGuild.com?
