It's been quite a while since I last posted. My work-flow is a bit sporadic.
- Map for 2 months straight
- Burn out
- Take a break for 6 months to a year
- Repeat
Anyways, here is an updated video on some of my progress. I'm roughly 35% finished. I plan on pacing myself somewhat better this time around (I keep saying that and I keep on lying..).
Short updated progress video below:

This is looking awesome! Getting some strong Life of The Party vibes from this!

I made an account because I want @Goldwell to know how much I enjoyed the first 2 acts of the series. Everything from the presentation, level design and gags are top notch and I loved every moment of these missions. I am very much looking forward to Act 3! Hopefully it's coming soon! I'll be downloading your older missions as well. Keep up the excellent work!
Thank you for the kind words!
Both Act 3 and Act 4 are quite far along in development and under the current schedule will be released very close together. As for when they drop well it's hard to say as everytime I give out ETA dates I always tend to miss them!

Both the in-game installer and the links on the website seem to work fine for me.
Most likely it was some occasional downtime...Also, the GUI changes do not affect FM database in any way yet.
None of our mirrors work for me, they're also all broken on darkfate too.
Whenever I click the link to download them, it opens a new tab in chrome and then immediately disappears with no download in sight.

You got another link to this FM? thedarkmod.com 's links are all screwed up for now & the installer won't work either.
@stgatilovis currently in the process of updating all existing FMs that used a custom interface (which includes the accountant 1) and updating them to a new gui system that's coming in 2.10. So there may be some downtime with the FMs.
In the meantime however here is a mirror I just uploaded on mega: https://mega.nz/file/IepxnQqb#c3DsUOQ04Q180i0h_DR1KPr0CoEuRGy8u8snhds8FmU

The next one is "Accountant 1" by @Goldwell.
It was overriding some things in order to change background and to hide briefing.I have removed the overriding files, and added the following to "mainmenu_custom_defs.gui":
//stgatilov #5323: disable briefing state #define ENABLE_MAINMENU_BRIEFING 0 //stgatilov #5323: override background everywhere #define MM_BACKGROUNDS_MAINMENU_NOTINGAME BackgroundCustomAccountantGears #define MM_BACKGROUNDS_EXTRAMENU_NOTINGAME BackgroundCustomAccountantGears #define MM_BACKGROUNDS_MAINMENU_INGAME BackgroundCustomAccountantGears #define MM_BACKGROUNDS_EXTRAMENU_INGAME BackgroundCustomAccountantGears #define MM_BACKGROUNDS_BRIEFING BackgroundCustomAccountantGears #define MM_BACKGROUNDS_DIFFSELECT BackgroundCustomAccountantGears #define MM_BACKGROUNDS_SHOP BackgroundCustomAccountantGears
Then added "mainmenu_background_custom.gui" with animated background image.
Thank you!
Has that been uploaded to the official mirrors? Because i'd like to replicate what you've done here with my future missions.

Rest in peace Grayman.
Thank you for everything you have done for this mod. You will be greatly missed!

Internal name of @Goldwell's "Lord Edgar's Bathhouse" was changed from "bh" (too short) to "bathhouse".
Thanks for fixing that!

1) for the one locked room on the top floor of the inn
- You'll find that inside the secure records room archive
2) for the secure records room
- Inside the citywatch station, if you head downstairs there are a couple of rooms of the Lt. and it's on one of the desks down there. I think Lt. Randal's desk has it if memory serves me correctly!

A mission that I really like and that invites me to replay it, always finding new details. But when playing it again this time in 2.09 I had a strange failure at the end, after being on the train, with the credits, at the end of these, instead of going to the menu of the finished mission and the statistics, I find a screen completely black, although I was allowed to move and even the footsteps could be heard, but nothing was seen.
I had to leave the mission, unable to finish it.Thanks letting me know!
It sounds like the objectives are broken somehow, i'll have to go in rewire them for the next mission update.

It's been just over 2 years since I dropped Shadows of Northdale Act 2. Crazy to think how much time flies!
Rest assured, I am still plugging away on Act 3. It's taking a lot more time to make than I had expected but hopefully the wait will be worth it in the end.
My core focus this time around is on adding extra detail work to the missions and making sure the majority of the sections are of similar quality. While reflecting on previous missions I felt there were varying levels of quality throughout them and so i'm working to try and address that. That does mean my missions are taking longer but it should result in a more cohesive experience in the end. And another big focus has been on my stealth encounters in the mission. Often times in the past I had focussed so much on making a level and then figuring out stealth later that I forget this needs to be a stealth level first, and so while building Act 3 (and act 4) a lot of thought is going into how the gameplay feels from a stealth perspective, making sure it not only fits together and makes sense but also that the stealth encounters are fun and hopefully challenging too.
Well enough rambling, time to get back to it. Here's another screenshot from the city hub in Act 3, just outside the players apartment home.

Apologies if this is a necro, but just wanna say I recently got into TDM over the new year (despite the original Thief trilogy being one of my favorite things of all time since they came out... no idea why it took me so long!) and just wanted to say I adore this FM a lot. Like seriously amazing work - and I've played your other stuff too. The second half of the mission could have maybe been spun off into its own map, but yeah, the apartment building and neighboring ones was some top tier stuff. Any plans for The Accountant 3?
Thank you for the kind words!
Sorry to say but currently there are no plans for the accountant 3.

Thank you! An explanation re: your spoiler
SpoilerIf memory serves me correctly, there is a bug in which if you either interrupt or don't let a safe door open fully it wont make the insides be interactable.
The reason for this is that safes require an entity inside to be triggered to tell the game "hey the safe is open, you can grab the stuff inside", otherwise the player can just pull things out from the safe without opening it. What happened previously (and this is a result of me being a naive mapper back then) was that the safe door was set to only trigger that action on being opened. And so anything that interrupted the door would cause that to go wry and so you could see the inside of the safe, but couldn't interact because the game still thinks the safe door is closed.
To resolve that issue on your end, you'd have to go in and reload before you opened the safe and make sure that you don't interrupt/stop the door while it's opening. As I just tested this on 2.09 and can confirm if the door opens fully and the loot inside is frobable:
I do apologize for your negative experience there, and when I update this mission next I will be sure to make a note of that fix.

I've made a temporary solution for Windows 10.
After applying everything dark radiant looks like this:
Here are the steps:
1. In dark radiant in the menu "View" > "Colours" select "Black & Green"
2. Create a default_colors.reg file by just creating a text file and renaming it and insert the following into the file:
(you can also export the reg file of your system by going to the address HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Control Panel\Colors in regedit and export for safety reasons)File: https://das-kartell.org/files/darkradiantdarkmode/default_colors.reg
Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00 [HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Control Panel\Colors] "ActiveBorder"="180 180 180" "ActiveTitle"="153 180 209" "AppWorkspace"="171 171 171" "Background"="0 0 0" "ButtonAlternateFace"="0 0 0" "ButtonDkShadow"="105 105 105" "ButtonFace"="240 240 240" "ButtonHilight"="255 255 255" "ButtonLight"="227 227 227" "ButtonShadow"="160 160 160" "ButtonText"="0 0 0" "GradientActiveTitle"="185 209 234" "GradientInactiveTitle"="215 228 242" "GrayText"="109 109 109" "HilightText"="255 255 255" "HotTrackingColor"="0 102 204" "InactiveBorder"="244 247 252" "InactiveTitle"="191 205 219" "InactiveTitleText"="0 0 0" "InfoText"="0 0 0" "InfoWindow"="255 255 225" "Menu"="240 240 240" "MenuBar"="240 240 240" "MenuText"="0 0 0" "Scrollbar"="200 200 200" "TitleText"="0 0 0" "Window"="255 255 255" "WindowFrame"="100 100 100" "WindowText"="0 0 0" "Hilight"="0 120 215" "MenuHilight"="0 120 215"3. Create a dark_radiant_dark_mode.reg file with following content:
File: https://das-kartell.org/files/darkradiantdarkmode/dark_radiant_dark_mode.reg
Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00 [HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Control Panel\Colors] "ActiveBorder"="180 180 180" "ActiveTitle"="153 180 209" "AppWorkspace"="171 171 171" "Background"="0 0 0" "ButtonAlternateFace"="0 0 0" "ButtonDkShadow"="105 105 105" "ButtonFace"="40 40 40" "ButtonHilight"="20 20 20" "ButtonLight"="227 227 227" "ButtonShadow"="240 240 240" "ButtonText"="0 0 0" "GradientActiveTitle"="185 209 234" "GradientInactiveTitle"="215 228 242" "GrayText"="240 240 240" "HilightText"="255 255 255" "HotTrackingColor"="0 102 204" "InactiveBorder"="244 247 252" "InactiveTitle"="191 205 219" "InactiveTitleText"="0 0 0" "InfoText"="0 0 0" "InfoWindow"="255 255 225" "Menu"="240 240 240" "MenuBar"="240 240 240" "MenuText"="0 0 0" "Scrollbar"="200 200 200" "TitleText"="0 0 0" "Window"="76 76 76" "WindowFrame"="100 100 100" "WindowText"="210 210 210" "Hilight"="0 120 215" "MenuHilight"="0 120 215"4. Here are the definitions of the entries, in case you want to alter the colors. Only the field which have description behind them seem to be relevant for the colors used in dark radiant.
Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00 [HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Control Panel\Colors] "ActiveBorder"="180 180 180" "ActiveTitle"="153 180 209" "AppWorkspace"="171 171 171" "Background"="0 0 0" "ButtonAlternateFace"="0 0 0" "ButtonDkShadow"="105 105 105" "ButtonFace"="240 240 240" < background color of floating windows and main window controls - 40 40 40 "ButtonHilight"="255 255 255" < shadow color of text in floating windows like light properties/inspectors - 20 20 20 "ButtonLight"="227 227 227" "ButtonShadow"="160 160 160" < main color of text in floating windows like light properties/inspectors - 240 240 240 "ButtonText"="0 0 0" < color of a few button descriptions like "select set" or "property/value" - 240 240 240 "GradientActiveTitle"="185 209 234" "GradientInactiveTitle"="215 228 242" "GrayText"="109 109 109" < color of a few values in input field in floating windows - 240 240 240 "HilightText"="255 255 255" "HotTrackingColor"="0 102 204" "InactiveBorder"="244 247 252" "InactiveTitle"="191 205 219" "InactiveTitleText"="0 0 0" "InfoText"="0 0 0" "InfoWindow"="255 255 225" "Menu"="240 240 240" < 1 pixel high line under menu in main window - 240 240 240 "MenuBar"="240 240 240" "MenuText"="0 0 0" "Scrollbar"="200 200 200" "TitleText"="0 0 0" "Window"="255 255 255" < background color in a few selection frames in floating windows like "light texture" in light properties window - 76 76 76 "WindowFrame"="100 100 100" "WindowText"="0 0 0" < text color of many text in input fields in floating windows - 210 210 210 "Hilight"="0 120 215" "MenuHilight"="0 120 215"5. Optional step only makes main frame title bar dark when selected:
In windows right click on the desktop and select the option below! display settings (maybe adjust in english?) and in the following window scroll down, make a dark custom color and tick both of the lowest checkboxes for task bar and titles:
6. To swap to dark colors, click on dark_radiant_dark_mode.reg and integrate it into the registry.
Log off in Windows and log in again (no restart required).
Dark radiant is now in "dark mode".
To swap back to normal windows colors for all other programs, click default_colors.reg, integrate it into the registry and log out and log in again.
Hope this helps a bit
That is huge, thank you!
There is one issue i'm having though inside the entity viewer, there are big white boxes in there despite the rest of the window being darker grey.
Any idea on how to make that whiteness darker like the rest?

It this a font glitch? It's only text barely readable. Btw, great mission Goldwell.
Also, there a 2 books which are highlighted and they have a name, but I can't open them.
There was an empty chest. But it was positioned carefully with intention for loot.
That was a bug in 2.08 which is fixed in 2.09.

Update on Shadows of Northdale: Act 3 and Act 4 are coming along! Slowly but surely. They are both double mission releases, so essentially i'm working on 4 missions at once. It's taking longer to cook in the oven than expected, but hopefully it'll be something very special once both acts are finished! I'm unsure if i'll do a double release or if i'll release Act 3 as soon as it's done and then Act 4 shortly after. As with anything to do with development things change a lot. Just ask poor Dragofer, Moonbo, Skacky, Epifire or Kingsal as they're often victims to my endless design questions
Also as a point of reflection, i've been apart of this community for nearly 8 years! And I was looking back at the very first briefing I ever did (with a rather hilarious release date of fall 2013 for the accountant mission). Back when it was a single mission, before it became a campaign which I have since abandoned.
But I digress, here is an example of how far my voice acting and briefing video work has come since I first started contributing to this community.
How it started in 2013:
How it's going in 2020:
Anyway, back to work on finishing Shadows of Northdale Act 3!

I actually didn't plan to create a notepad replacement, because it misses the point of a Material Editor for me. Why not edit your .mtr files and hit reloadDecls in-game just as fine?
I was thinking more along the lines of the particle editor, which provides entry boxes, sliders, controls, etc. to develop the material stages. A preview is a must too.
Ah I see, I misunderstood what you meant sorry.
When you said material editor in my head I was thinking something in DR that edits the material MTR files not the textures themselves.
