BTW, I also enjoyed The Cradle. (Or perhaps I should say: I was really frightened by this place?) It was one of my best gaming experiences... when I played TDS for the first time. My second attempt was no so enjoyable. Etc. Perhaps it's the case of all horror-like levels... Perhaps I played TDS too much (Polish publisher found out that I am a Thief fan and litarature teacher at the same time, so I was contacted and hired to prepare official Polish translation and beta test it)... but some levels from T1/2 (Constantine's mansion!) left stronger (and more thrilling) memory imprint in my mind...

Well, these FMs are like, say, infants so far... in comparision with adult T1/2 FMs. I don't know exactly why. And it's not because of their small size. Strange. Some early T1/2 FMs (Bloodstone Prison, anyone?) were already masterpieces...

In pleno, yes. Although linearity is not their main problem...

Mind that these are very good FMs, but, unfortunately, they certainly are not as good as some of the best T1/2 FMs. Yes.

Definitely try Rantako's All the World's a Stage and Norbik's The Crypt. These are the best TDS FMs so far. As for JohnP's textures... most of them are really great (especially smesh and AI textures), but there are few quite common textures that look much worse (in spite of their hi-res). I don't like this for example: http://www.john-p.com/textures/Thief-DS/Co...on.html#Auldale And yes, installing JohnP's texture pack makes loading time much longer.

Speaking of TDM release... TDP release date is November 30, 1998. It is quite possible that TDM team will work on this project for two more years (at least)... Wouldn't it be great if TDM is released on the 10th anniversary of TDP release?

I'm not very fond of 3rd person in Thief (although I must admit that Garrett's moves looked really good in TDS), but I don't understand why someone who likes it "sucks"... I don't like 3rd person, because it makes the game less immmersive for me. And that's it. 3rd person view makes Thief easier - that's a fact. So what? Is there anything wrong with playing Thief as a master of puppet? Is there anything wrong with playing Thief as a novice, not an expert? Not everyone has to choose the highest difficulty level. If you hate 3rd person view fans, you should probably also dislike the ones who play Thief at the lowest difficulty level. Isn't it all about fun? I don't want to play the game that stimulates thief's life mimetically, if it's not fun... And there are people who enjoy 3rd person experience... Perhaps Thief is not for them. But it does not necessarily mean they "suck".

It migh help you to improve your overall skills, but it certainly won't help you to learn Doom editing. In fact, I still suffer from T3Ed-syndrome while working with DoomEdit. It makes working with Radiant more difficult.

Nobody even considers doing a total conversion anymore?

I have to ask this question: can our great programming wizards "move" some new features (e.g. megatextures) and new-old-already-partially-implemented tricks (e.g. great looking water) from Quake Wars to TDM?

Vigil has hi-res version of his great Thief textures. He would certainly agree to use them in TDM.

Let me repeat: I think TDM team should at least contact Vigil and JohnP. Or perhaps you did it already?

This site is in Polish. Are you from Poland?

Right now "pm_thirdperson 1" gives rather funny results: my marine is running around medieval city with invisible bow and sword.

Me too.

If you mean this HERO, then you're wrong: it was damn good movie.

This movie is really bad. Waste of time.

I wish I could help you... I can only encourage you to try to make this game run. It's great! In case of older games, the best soultion was always for me using DOS custom boot disks. The best boot disk was TechWOrm's, but I can't find it anywhere in the net right now. You can also try this site: http://bootdisk.com/bootdisk.htm [EDIT] TechWorm is here: http://ellisbros.com/rob/downloads.php

WOW! I've just finished watching these vids. It seems Arkane is great at recreating old gameplay in new engines. Arx = Ultima Underworld. And Dark Messiah seems to be new ShadowCaster (that game was great!).

Is there anything like TerraEdit for Doom? http://fordy.planetunreal.gamespy.com/terra.htm I guess there's not, because Doom has patches...

Is terragen some program for Doom3? You mean this? http://www.planetside.co.uk/terragen/

I envy you. I also love to create outdoor enviroments, yet there are no opportunities in my country for making such hobby a full time job.

How do I end Imperial Corruption quest? I convinced both person to testify. What's next?

Does anyone know where in Imperial City I can buy (or acquire) lockipcks?

Has anyone tried this blackjack mod? http://www.elderscrolls.com/forums/index.p...howtopic=341499
