What the hell is a Bob Ross painting doing in TDM? It's a good thing it's not used, since it's not only anachronistic but probably a copyright infringement as well.

Looks like I replaced the original a long time ago, but forgot to replace the editor image.

Wow! Looks like Cold Stream in L4D2: https://xboxthreesixtyblog.files.wordpress.com/2012/04/left-4-dead-2-cold-stream-01.jpg

Four hours it's a decent time... For texturing a model, or making a decent material

Haha, actually I think it was 45 minutes. It's the opening room to the Chain Project for T2 if you want to see it. A bare small room with a locked door, table and plant, and an AI that immediately attacks. You kill him and the door opens. 4 hours is a bit more rational. How could you check anyway? Dromed saves the age of a map. I guess make a branch save when you start and then check the time stamp with the final save.

no map size limit, 2 days, or 48 hours. And map to have at least 1/2 hour play time.

In all seriousness, some spammers actually sit there and solve those things. When one is solved, it can be added to a database and all new encountered ones can be compared to the known existing solutions for a match automatically.

Hey, I got it! :V

I remember this when the trailer first came out...

holy frick, heard this band(?) years ago, "the major cities..." it had like 200 views.

this might be my lifes biggest hipster moment.

That's a good analogy, I guess i'll just have to keep tweaking. The main issue I have is that I love to decorate with paintings but they are usually loot too. So you can enter a room (noble) with say a golden brush, a chalice, some wine and then 2 or 3 paintings... and therein lies my problem.

You don't like using func_static models for paintings? (I know it gives rise to the problem of identical-looking loot and non-loot, but that exists in plenty of existing maps.)

Agree with Springheel. See Thief 4 for why "trash loot" is a problem.

Not quite yet. We're getting close to the pencilled-in roadmap date, so people with works in progress have started talking about what gets in, and that'll end up setting the date. We've already got plenty of goodies for 2.03 but there're other features close to being ready for testing.

Excellent news! Thanks

Thanks you for the answer.

Welcome to the club mista :-)

It's funny, I've actually expanded my FM quite a lot because I felt the plot would be too rushed if I didn't. So it goes both ways :-). I definitely agree w/ bringing at least one section to completion. I've been making my FM scene-by-scene, and I started out by taking one small starting section and buffing it to a polished shine (w/ Biker's help).

Wise words Sotha.

lol

hahaha those are great!

Free gym membership: pick a gym, run there and back.

Take a years gym membership, buy a bicycle, and get out and see the countryside.

Bike or hike + PX90 = Superior fitness at reduced cost.

Sounds like the perfect recipe for burnout to me. 4 hours at most sounds like a perfectly large DR session to. There's more to life than TDM. Blasphemy I know.

Yep, just be careful not to burn out.

Oh my friends I am FAR from burning out I couldn't stop because I was having so much fun. And yes I'm crazy

Can't wait!

Open the console and type in the cryptic word 'god.' That'll teach those damn AI who is boss... ehm.. the Creator!

haha or even better "noclip" "notarget" then you can really feel the power!

Good man.

Is this the same project that contains some overpriced furniture?

Yep

Yeah it is sort of funny, sucks feeling like crap around this time of the year (ironically I rarely get sick) but hey nothing will stop me from eating all the goodness of Christmas food

Have the wenches serve you hot brandy until your problems are gone.

LOL @wenches, good old fashion TDM-politeness!

guess I´ll also get it on a steam sale, but only if it wont be filled with too much "cinematic" stuff like the new tomb raider

Amusing that 61% of people on EM's own forums have voted that they will not be buying the game.

That's not really amusing, it's sad. It's sad because it means that another great franchise has been sacrificed on the altar of money-making. And it means that good types of gameplay get buried to keep us on the track of the same Railgame-Action-Shooter bullshit that we have since decades. It means, that the evolution of games towards a medium that can be taken serious apart from only being entertaining has stopped. It means the end of this very specific kind of art.

Hope to see you around more!

Happy New Year!

All the best to everyone.

lol and the highly lucrative wallet warrior games.

Finally, something they're good at.

Wah ha ha ha...

This is a discussion for a forum topic, but...

1) Whatever Underworld ends up as, it will be a B title, not an AAA one.

2) Assume a generous 1.5 year dev cycle for both games plus half a year of preparations for the next KS. That's 3.5 years before it even becomes a possibility.

3) Thief just had a 100-million-dollars AAA game. It's unlikely anybody could pay for the license.

4) Modern engines have real problems with editing. TDM still does...

...BSP, which is more newbie-friendly.

5) We should instead convince the Otherside people to *join usssss now* and make a new Thiefy game with TDM as a base.

Today is vegetable and water day!

good boy =)

Heh.

That link didn't work? Is there a new Tafferpatcher that the link works for as well? The one at TTLG doesn't work? What all is needed to get TGold and T2 to work on a WIN7 machine? Thanks

Link for "Thief 2 HD Texture Mod" works fine.

Thanks Vae

I second AH: No ME2? Shame on you!

They will all be excellent, I am sure of it. But still, I am just gonna buy them on demand, when I am in the mood for playing the specific game or I wait until there's a sale.

Yes, and you won't end up with a list of games you bought but never had time to play. It's around 90% the case I think for me, haha

Im hoping that this is for consoles only since the demo at E3 was played on PS4.

But then again, i could always be wrong.

If the players are jumping too much, put down more metal and marble floors. Anyway, fuck this new breed of casualized game designers.

if its broke already it cannot be fixed. imagine trying to implement jumping with mantling in ocarina of time halfway through dev. absolutely impossible without complete level redesign. this is not going away.

He wasn't aware of the Dark Mod until we spoke however after checking it out he said "The whole Dark Mod project looks really cool".

Nice.

This sounds awesome and intriguing, not to mention praise for the whole Dark Mod must feel very appreciative

With no DLC, they must not think much of it either. Too bad. I rather like it. I can't get too much Thief.

So much potential wasted. Really taffin' sad.

It was dead like dogp** just in the mom it was released :-) / gameplay, grafix, sounds .... :-P / not worth the money (~15€)

Thank you my intention is to make that guy creepy as possible

@Lux yeah that problem will be solved when the final version is recorded (I use a better mic+pop filter)

Sounds like Rumplestiltskin from the tv series "once upon a time." Pretty cool, but my problem was it was difficult to understand what he is saying, so if he gives an objective to the player, maybe the speech need to be clarified a bit?

@Sotha yeah I will write the script a bit better I just had this idea for a character and decided to record something on the spot so I made up that "script" as I went along haha but it played out well. After you meet this person an optional objective will be added for the player as well

Congrats!

Exciting stuff Goldwell.

Grand.
