hey thx alot. its the little things like these that make a game great.

Ive been play TDS for the past few days and im kind of likeing it a little more then i use to. dunno why. maybe cause ive been out of the thief community for quite a while and now my opinion on it is diffrent. but that doesnt mean i like it lol. but i do like the look of the game tho. if they only spent more time on it and made it in a better engine. parts of the city are vary nice and even tho i dont like that you have to run around a lot and keep crossing the city just to get to a mission, thats just stupid imo. the city looks vary nice tho, vary thiefy. what i want to know is will the dark mod be like this. where you have to run around a city and all that crap that no one wants to do or will it be like thief 1 N 2. where you buy your stuff at the start of the mission and when its over a video plays and you start the next one. theres no runing around to missions. shit do i hate TDS now. ( why do i talk about shit i hate ) ive got some more question if you want to wast your time lol. the Objective and Map screens. when you press your O or M key and you map and objective shows up you know. well in TDS the map is like a universal thing. you can see every map you have colected and its not a full screen. it sort of pops up in front of you and there is no way to switch to objectives from the map window. also you never no where you realy are. In the originals. the map would fill the screen. you would only see the maps for that misson. and where you are would highlight in yellow. so you know where you are. also there would be a option to switch to objectives. will TDM stay with the classic look of the full screen map that pauses the game and you have more control over you map/object's then just back? also the maps in tds look realy gay. they look like they where made in paint lol. also the inventory and weapons and also health. i got a question that is vary important to the look of the game. the health bar. what are u planing for that. will the health be much like the original or just that same as. or are you going to try something new. also the inventory and weapons. are you planing anything dumb like TDS where the gears move and it has a gay little blue light behind it and when you put your weapons away the blue light stays. or are you going to make it look classic. almost the same if not exactly the same as the first two. with spining weapons and you inventory that only shows one item and it moves in the bottem right and your weapons in the left. Are we to expect the exact same look and setup and also feel as thief I and II in this area? another stupid lighting question. In the originals your sword would get a light glem when light is shinning off it. will this be the same in TDM. it is a vary realistic part of the first two cause a sword is reflective. when light hits it a gaurd will see it easyer then would or cloth. Inventory Items............ ooowwowwww i know that the only part of thief 2 i didnt like was your items. i perfer not to get to advanced in my thiefing. the scouting orbs and invisible potions and slow falling potions (LOL) are a bit much and out of this world. thief 1 had a way better inventory even tho it was smaller it lack the stupid stuff that made the game less thiefy. if you know what i mean. are you planing on includeing all of the avalible ithems in both thief 1 and 2, maybe a few from 3. i know i liked the oil u throw on the ground. lol. funnny shit. lock picking, Keys and other stuff. one thing about tds i do like is the lock picking. the minimalest age made it vary tricky to get doors open in time. a realy cool thing. but i am a big fan of the classic setup so go ither way with it i realy dont care. but keys on the other hand. i didnt like the fact that in tds you never have keys in your inventory. the cool thing about this is how indepth it is. you have to take your time and do everything. even look through keys to find the right one. what are the plans for these things. will keys be in our inventories or will it be like tds. Mechanists. i hate them. lol. to advanced for thief. hammers are perfect, keepers as well. i realy liked mages to and wished that LG went with mages and hammers in T2 insted of mechs but what can you do. mechs are way out of the thief world i think. mechines dont belong in thief imo. well not walking talking ones anyway lol. i have seen the art work of the inventors which sounds realy cool. maybe a lesser intelegent mechinest. more mid evil, thief era. realy cool concept so thumbs up to who ever thought of the inventors but what are the plans for mechs in tdm. will you include them or are we sticking to the thief 1 line up. Realese Date....Single player chapain lol. how many times will u have to read about a release date. but you know i cant wait to start useing the editor and such. from a scale of 1% to 100% how fare are we? and about the SP game. are you working on maping and stuff atm. from your screens id think that there pritty solid maps. not just to show off your ability you know. so are you makeing everything you need to make you game and working on it at the same time so when this is release we are left hanging. i mean ill be fucking pissed if there is no game to play at release. what are your plans for a SP game? is it in dev? are you even going to tell us? a ........................................ .. DEMO and VIDEO's well i also want to know one last thing. are there any plans of recording some in game play and activitys or what ever so we can see how good your game looks in real time. not just screens. and also i think it would be amazing if you put out a demo. a one map thing. there doesnt even have to be objectives. just something people can play and realy find out just how thiefy this game is going to be. and how it will feel. thats vary important imo. Thx for read this, latzz

nice job. i realy like the scrolls. and how it doesnt switch in to a new screen, it just pops up in front of u. vary nice work. and the new in game screens are fookin amazing. the lighting effects realy make the game look like a vary realy thief like world. hats off to guys. this is the best mod i have ever seen, the best detail and effert. can wait to start playing. is there going to be a single player story line released with the editor or is the editor going to come out and then you will start your single player game. if you guys make a fucking amazing single player game i beat u anything ID will look at it and go wow we could sell this game. and as a free game pritty much everyone would play it. keep us up to beat on the game guys. latz

does this mean with in the week month ???? when.

i dont like playing as a girl in thief. make's it less thief like for some reason. maybe cause a guy character is so much more agresive and apealing. i dont like playing games as a girl character. never was a big fan of Tx2 for that reason.

how did i guess you would say somthing like that lol. i figured as much. cant wait, and hope its not to fare off.

well since everyone has asked just about every question they can ( i cant think of one ) im just going to ask how its going. got any exciting news to let the thief community in on? got any ingame stuff we could see, maybe a guy geting knocked out or something. a trailer is a good idea to. make a trailer or video of some cool stuff and post it around the net. get more poeple interested. let people know thief is still around and excite some people. id love to see whats up with the mages btw. what kind of cool concept are u guys takeing with them. imo they should have been used more in the 2nd game. not mech's it should have been the mage's. but thief 2 was good ither way i just think that mages are as cool as the keepers or the hammers.

hey long time no talk guys, i havent keeped up with the thief community much latly so i dont know all of the new buzz but i checked out the new screens and its looking sweet. cant wait to get my hands on this. is there a mapper avalible yet for use. beta maybe. i cant wait to get in to some editing. i would like to see more screens of rooms and stuff to. maybe showing off the lighting and shadows. bla bla. eye candy. how is the sound working out. can guards react to a door opening or foot steps. will they come looking for u and give up after a while. can they run and get help and bring them back. quick question on weapons. have you guys finished the weapons. i know theres a screen with a bow in there but that has to be a realy early model. and im realy interested as to what the sword will look like. also have you succesfully made working moss arrows rope arrows and fire arrows. im just wondering how fare the mod has come. im a curiuse person.

i see so many post about this and i dont want to revive a dead topic but id like to say if it was up to me. i would not add anything fancy like that oil in thief 3. i would keep the classic weapon set. with no dagger, hows about a classic sword. daggers are wimpy. you should be able to stand a fight if you have to and you cant do it with a little butter knife. what new featers are you guys makeing for the mod? (if any)

hey thx alot bro. these realy help. and i will definitly post screens in a week or so.

that sounds cool. .. ive been learning the Doom ed for a while now. id love to start a FM if you guys realease a mapper version. its so hard to map a thief style map with bright lights and metalic textures. it just doesnt give the same effect. like ive mad qwite a few thing in the doom ed. but they all look to DOOMY. got any links to some nice thief style textures or close to it that i can use. (wood brick stone EXC )

and advantige to D3 is that its going to be realy cheap soon:). i already have it so whatever but for all of thos who dont have it at least they wont have to spend 30 - 50 $ on the game just to play TDM. its true that you still see alot of games with old engines like half life. so many still play 1.6. i do valve's new source engine has potential but they are greedy and lazy. they have abandoned CS:S and HL2. not fixing any bugs. and then they make more games to make more money and not fix the old ones. bunch of fucking panzys. but are you guys going to be releaseing the dark mod realy early to a select few. ( not the full thing ) just what you have done. giveing it to sertine thief moding groups and updateing them with new textures and materials every month or so. that way when it is released we have some good campains comeing along. cause lets face it, even a good sp mission takes months. maybe a year. id hate to have it and have nothing to use it for. it would be cool to have a few missions at release. and some good campains on the way along with all the moders makeing FM's. just a little sugestion. and have you guys used john P's high res textures in thief 3. shit it makes the game twice as good. along with the minimalist age it turned out to be a good game.

Hey another post by my dumb ass. lol j/k but hey i was checking out the new screens and they look sweet. i have a question about quake 4. quake 4's is suppose to be the same engine as doom3. just more optimized for game play. better lighting sound, quake 4 will be a better game all around in my opinion. but will you guys make the jump? and also i was think while looking at your screens. that you guys have prolly started you campain. bits and peaces here and there. little things you want in you campain. but have you guys planed far enough a head to even have a name yet? from what i have been told another year till this might be ready to roll. and that would set you guys at the least another year a head for a campain. by that time a thief 4 maybe out and the engine outdated. but id still play it. lets face it i play the dark project more than thief 3. not becouse of the looks but becouse of the game. peace till latzzzzzzz

Thx for the fast replys guys. Thats true. i didnt look at it that way. and sometimes no matter how bad you want to know everything its best to not know. just keep us up to date every once and a while.

the dark mod is inspiered buy the classic thief series. only the best video game ever. if you havent played it i suggest you do. Thief is a stealth/action game. vary adictive. its like a midevil/fantasy game. you brake in to castles and mansions, steal all the loot you can and complete you objectives. no other game comes close to the thief series. you have to play it to understand compleatly what the game is about. this mod is a conversion that turns doom3 into a thief insiered world. play the originals. there old but still better then most games out. and they still look nice to .

well the long wait is over. EA has finaly released 1.03. its like 150mb and adds alot and fixes like everything in the game. i dont know why BF2 was released in the first place, i havent even played it till now. its at least a good game now.

thought it was good. seemed smaller then cod tho. COD was filled with alot of open feilds and large areas. i hope they didnt make it compacte for Xbox. but hey DOD;s is f#@*in awsome.

been a month now since last update . im dieing to see how much ferther you guys are on the dark mod. i saw a article about the dark mod in a computer gaming mag a while back. looks like this mod has alot of eyes on it. i have more questions ( as if you dont get enough ) and a suggestion. i asked this a long time ago but ill ask it again to get a update on it. from a scale of 1% - 100% how fare would you say the dark mod is? close to maybe a beta 0.01, 0.1, 1.0? (0.0000000000000000001/2 ) is there a posibility we will have it any where neer christmass? and hows it going in general. i know there isnt much to look at on the site but what there is, it is amazing. Are you shooting for a sertain release date? xx/xx/xx i think that there should be news updates every two weeks. anything. just little updates to let us all know whats going on. it sucks when you go on and theres nothing for a month. it would keep everyone coming back more often. just a suggestion you guys are running this show. your proly realy buissy with life and this so its just something to think about. Keep up the amazing work guys. i look forword to seeing more of it.

yeah its a little slow since its not dromed or T3ed. i have a whole new set of problems to work out with a whole new editor. like not being able to load the map ingame to preview. why does the editor crash randomly when i try to holow out a brush. so on so on.

lol sorry. been realy buisy for the past few months. not alot of time to check the gallery. but sweet. looks realy good lets see it built in D3.

omg i just thought (why havent i heard anything about mages) are you going to put them in. i wish there where more mages in the thief games. but oh well. i alwas thought that the mages hammers and keepers where the stongest in the series. the mechinests where ok but they just dont have that feel. its all load mechines and stuff. dont get me wrong they where cool but not the best. i would like to see some cool mage's in TDM. that would add to the feel of the old game's but with one of the most powerfull games to date.

nice work. looks realy good.

i was never much for the cross bows in thief 2. stupid looking. they just held it up and it shot and they never reloaded it. if you could make it look that good. and a realy realistic reload time ( unlike thief 2 ) and animation for the reload then cool. but they cant be tiny like in thief 2. it has to be big. if you can do that. put it in. but not for garrett. garrett has a bow. no way around it.

hey been off for a few days. but yeah i revamped that room. much better now. but i havent had the chance to play around in the editor since friday. my POS cheap mobo just killed on me. so i decided to stop working around my computer problems and just order a new one. i have a nforce board and nforce controls my internet adaptor with its nforce m something something something. i dont realy give a shit but i bought a MSI so . i have a AMD athlon XP 2600. but still running so what ever. i can play D3 in high easy so what ever. jbut i will build a new system with in a year. Whats the Ultra setting going to do for the dark mod? i never realy new the diffrence from high to ultra.

what do you mean? i dont know why it doesnt work. driveing me nuts
