We should have an FM building competition during the outbreak! It's not like we're going anywhere anyway, for a while. I mean if we all are gonna be home for who knows, why not dust off the editors and build lots of FMs for Thief & The Dark Mod. I'm thinking about trying again, since I'm stuck in Sweden the next 3-4 Months. My 89yr old mom doesn't dare fly now. Sweden has closed its boarders now anyway too, so that leaves me & my wife over here awhile longer. She's outta school the next 2 weeks, but she likes watching Movies. I'm actually getting tired of TV & binge watching. Wanna do something else…

With my workload finally decreasing and having to stay at home far longer than I planned for this spring, I think I'll try to find more time for TDM as well. For the time being, I want to work on those audio projects.

Look! We need to talk about this! Haha!

Thinking about portals?

Good idea, will try that, thank you!

& toilet paper. That's a Must !!

Can we not just through all these ideas over board and make a fun mission where the nameless hero has to find groceries? And muffled guards with face masks!

I thought CC was cool, but maybe we could put a Word with D in-between then shorten it for the pk4 files. Come up with ideas for a name guys. Hey graphic guys, can you make Corona beer bottles, just to add flavor to the mix? Not that they have any flavor... TTLG.com is shooting the idea down cuz I totally forgot about the 20th anniversary of Thief is on March 23rd(which is the due date)! Is it T2 or Gold? T1 was 1998.

Yeah.....*DEAD*line (totally black humor)

Hey @Spooks, than you very much for the kind words and feedback; its no small compliment coming from an atmospheric master such as yourself! I never thought to introduce the openable crates cause I certainly didn't invent that prefab i used, but I can probably put one in an easy to find location just to set the precedent for players. Out of curiosity,

Use ReVision mod And Invisible War too, with "Visible Upgrade" unofficial patch.

Just had the last ordinary lecture in my university. No idea how would students study from now on: I'm afraid distance learning does not suit everyone. In one orchestra that I play in, all rehersals are already stopped. I guess the others will follow in the nearest future. On the bright side, it seems I have more free time for programming and TDM now UPDATE: On the second thought, I think it is a perfect time to replay the first Deus Ex now

I too think regulated is the right word. The thief world is full of extremely dangerous magic and the keepers are here to keep the balance. I think the thief world stinks of magic, like its literally everywhere. The people that use this magic are very smart, highly strategic and super confident. This might be a knowledge thing, people generally know it exists but they are beeing protected. Its a dangerous setup that could suffer from "Too much information".

I dont need to be educated to say that ^^ I can spread hope and good feelings whenever i want. The Best case scenario is that we randomly hit just the right vaccine in a short time and that people calm down.

Canada just found out what corona is made up of. Its a huge breakthrough. I am sure we will beat this completly! Very soon!

I know this technique has been discussed before, but peter_spy's recent comment on another thread about non-diegetic lights finally clicked with me. To verify my understanding, here's an example. I'm working on a mission that has a shop whose entrance is located at street level, under an extended second floor. The door is in the dark, located where the red arrow points. There's a sign on the door that is completely invisible from this distance. Even when you get a lot closer to the door, you can't read the sign because it is in the dark - you have to deploy your lantern just to read it! So I put a tiny light right in front of the sign, and now it is visible. You notice it, and you can actually read it from this location using your spyglass. Depending on your screen brightness, it may not be very obvious from these screen grabs. But in game, it is very clear that there is something worth looking at in that dark corner. As peter_spy said, it draws your eye and focuses you in that direction. And even when you get close to the door, the 'lit' sign doesn't look fake, because it is barely illuminated. Anyway, that's my understanding of non-diegetic lighting; hopefully I got it right.
