So you set the AI to be blind and deaf and are surprised when they act the way they do. EDIT: Also makes sense that when a guard sees you far away, and shouts, then you duck back into cover, that he would start searching his general vicinity as he's already "lost" you.

I'm happy to present my first FM, The Spider and the Finch. There may be a spider, but no ghosts or undead. It should run a couple hours. It's now available on the Missions page or the in-game downloader. Many thanks to the beta testers Acolytesix, Cambridge Spy, datiswous, madtaffer, Shadow, and wesp5 for helping me improve and making the mission to the best of my abilities. This would not be have been possible without Fidcal's excellent DarkRadiant tutorial. Thanks also to the many people who answered my questions in the TDM forums. Cheers! 2023-12-13 Mission updated to version 3. Fixed a bug where the optional loot option objective was not actually optional. Updated the animations for Astrid Added a hallway door so the guards are less likely to be aggroed en masse.

I just want to thank for this neat mission design. Enjoyed every corner and every detail. Its a hobby to check for new TDM Fan missions Great mission, although I used noclip sometimes because I play for fun Thanks!

Here's my playthrough of By The Cookbook: https://youtu.be/IQ6kulMvxMs

Currently just starting Part 4. This is an excellent mission. Two points: Like someone else in this thread, it was impossible to 'just stumble across' the crown in the sewers, and I needed to look at the map posted here. When I try to do the good deed of: Having repeated this several times, I have now completed 11 of 4 Good Deeds(!)

Well I've finished it in the end. Overall an enjoyable and hugely impressive mission with my favourite area being the Cathedral. My problem with this mission was that I felt everything was too big, first the sewers although not too much of a maze I found them frustrating because if you didn't find the next item you needed to proceed it could take you an age to find that item with almost everywhere looking the same I found myself too easily lose my bearings. The Town was easier but I felt went on for too long, as again the forest was too big for my personal preference, again I spent an age backtracking looking for that elusive cave or side pathway. As for the Cathedral I found that to be the perfect size, I was expecting after the town to come across a monstrously sized building that went on for ever so was pleasantly surprised and it looked great. Yes I found everything in the end (with a few hits from the forum) but I get greater satisfaction from missions that tended to be less spread out, smaller being better IMO, others I'm sure prefer the opposite. The puzzles were spot on, I'm not that keen on tough mind bendingly painful puzzles but everything in this mission was fair and reasonable, with books and hints easily found and near to the actual puzzles themselves, so thank you for that. I didn't achieve the loot target (about 400g short) thankfully that was an optional goal, and I only achieved 1 good deed, obviously my experience as a TDM players is sub par, I really ought play more. Anyway thanks for one whole day lost wandering around your monster sized mission, it was great fun overall and I look forward to your next mission.

A big mission, this one! I kept playing and it kept going. What a ride. It was something to look forward to since your missions always have creative and fun ideas in them. Imo the entire mission was really fun and packed with ideas, but it was the second half (once you reach the cathedral) where it really shined, and I enjoyed outsmarting the security systems and looking for clues/keys. The vision potion's effect was pretty neat! The forest section that followed was deliciously hostile, yet great at letting me make use of the arrows I had gathered earlier. At times I was stuck and it took me a bit to find a way forward (mainly the warehouse), but most of the time the path was clear. I have completed several good deeds and optional objectives, maybe except for one.
