I'm looking for a person willing to play through the whole Quake (1996) with me in cooperative mode. My friend and I have tested this over Hamachi and it works great (more or less), sadly he is not a fan of oldskul games like I am, so I need a new buddy. In case there are more then one people willing to play it (although I'm doubtful about that), it's ok, the more the merrier. We can see what suits you better, both Skype and TS work for me, but I prefer Skype. I will supply the link to the game for anyone who's interested. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZhzXKMqZBBc EDIT: Quake, along with all 3 missions packs completed with some random guy I found on 4chan.org/vr/. ^^

After using Windows 7 Ultimate for 4 years, I switched to Windows 8.1 Enterprise on 12th of September. I'm quite happy with it, although I don't use Metro at all. The thing is, in order to give yourself full administrator privileges (sudo) moving UAC slider all the way down to 'never notify' is not enough like in Windows 7. You need to disable Admin Approval Mode. They made it like that because Metro interface doesn't work with UAC completely turned off. You can do that through Local Security Policy Editor: secpol.msc > Local Policies > Security Options > User Account Control: Run all administrators in Admin Approval Mode > Disabled Or through the Registry Editor: regedit.exe > HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Policies\System > EnableLUA > 0 As I said, by doing that, you won't be able to use Metro apps anymore. I haven't yet found a quality workaround to have UAC off and use Metro apps at the same time, but it's not really I need Metro at first place, so I'm fine like this.

I have the same problem with "WS1: In the North".

Hmm, I finished one quest by jumping with a body through a window. Now you tell me I exploited a bug, unknowingly? Damn!

I can say this was a very good FM. The only real downside for me is that it consists entirely of undead who annoy me a lot. But generally, it's a nice FM. My experience... Glitches I encountered...

Only 8 minutes for the whole map? Good job, I guess... Took me 2 and a half hours on my first try...

Doom 3 engine hates Alt-Tabbing, it likes to keep focus. You can minimize your game without any third party tools using Task Manager in "Always on top" mode. This works with everything I ever had trouble minimizing. As for AutoHotKey, it's a good idea, but let's simplify that as much as possible. All you actually need to minimize an active window using AHK is this: !m::WinMinimize, A Also, AHK supports script compiling so there is no need to have it installed. You don't need it if you don't actually code in it. I have compiled this line of code using ANSI 32-bit encoding for best compatibility and MPRESS packer for smallest size. A nice "M" icon in 48x48 (desktop) and 16x16 (tray) resolution have been included during compilation. Snatch is from here: Simple_Minimizer_v1.0_2013-10-24_by_eqagunn.7z Here is a description from the readme file... I hope it helps.

I play Heroes of Newerth now and then, less then 5 games per week I guess. Used to play it much more often, 3000 ranked matches on record. Last game I completed was Lost Mission for Doom 3. Played all Doom stuff long ago, but found out recently that there is one more official mission available that came out with BFG Edition. Had to complete it since I'm a completion addict. Games I played before that were Unreal and Unreal 2. Currently playing Quake in cooperative mode with friend, planing to go through reset of the series too. Also, I played through Lunar Legend for GBA back in August. The next series I plan to play are Deus Ex.

You can reach that area using only mantling too.

Same here, never played old Thief games. Been smacking everyone I could with a blackjack in the beginning, but the more I play, the less I want to smack them. I guess Thomas Porter series are making me let go of a blackjack because one of the objectives on highest difficulty requires you not to use it. It said: "You are not a common burglar, you are a master thief." My response was: "I'm not a common burglar, I'm a master burglar!"

Hm, Springheels recommendation is fine enough, but... Why make it unrealistic for no good reason? Why not really make it that 1 gold coin = 1 gold worth? I would expect getting 12 gold worth from taking a tall stack of 12 gold coins, dunno about you guys.

I was telling a friend that I started to play Lost Mission for Doom 3 when he, a Thief series fan himself, added that there is a fan-made Thief remake on Doom 3 engine called The Dark Mod. I never played any of Thief games, but decided to give it a try anyway. Didn't regret it. EDIT: I doubt I would ever stumble upon it if there weren't for him.

In many games it was possible to find the hidden doors by looking at the textures, but you'll find it's different here. Thomas Porter missions have a few of those hidden doors, and they are all seamless texture wise. The only thing is that they highlight as an interactable object when you aim at them. I would also like this training mission to have objectives and to be completable. Didn't go requesting this before though as it's not a big deal. Same here, it's not hard. But yeah, doing so will leave you thinking that turning off the machine is unrewarding.

In my case, crouch-jump near the pillow is what makes him slide down and fall through while waking up. Although, this trick doesn't work with Lantern on, so being in the shadow (not alerting the sleeper) could be one more condition.

I just went to test that out to be sure. Crouch walking near them will wake them up, though they won't say anything, they will just stand up. But, crouch creeping won't wake them up. So yeah, I was wrong, sorry about that. At first I also thought that might be the case, but if he touches me as he wakes up, he will just push me away. I went to reproduce it and managed to do it only once out of 20 tries. But that one time he fell through, it looked like something made him "slide" a bit during the waking sequence, but while still in the lying position. EDIT: Found a way to reproduce it every time. Crouch-jump near his pillow during the waking sequence.

Great FM. Loved it. Here is my feedback... Also, one thing troubles me...

Haha. Same here, fire arrow in my case. But reloaded after and smacked him with blackjack to fulfill "no kill" requirement.

Please learn to use SPOILER tag so you don't spoil the FM for the others. Regarding the hole... As for the switch...

Excellent FM. I find it comparable to Requiem which I hold the best. I read through the thread and noticed many people made the same mistake as I did; mistook Church for a Chapel. But I realized it just before almost giving up. Almost everything was perfect, but I'd like to point out a few things. There are quite a lot of notes, but it doesn't look like that in the end, aside from having a cluttered inventory. As for the final statistics, I'm sorry but I'm one of those that use "KO anything that moves" strategy, as Springheel calls it. The only FM I completed without using Blackjack is The Knighton Manor, because hardest difficulty, which I always play on, requires it. Maybe your FM should too. If other people don't like it, there are always lower difficulties to choose from. This is why there are different difficulty settings after all. Thank you for the top quality FM.

I can confirm problems with Thief's Den mission. Since I wasn't able to get it through the game, I ended up download it manually. I had to download version 1.2 (via wiki) because I couldn't find working links for 2.0 anywhere. Could the reason for this be the fact that links available at http://www.thedarkmod.com/fmdetails.php?id=24 don't work?

I completed Mandrasola and The Knighton Manor today. Almost ended up like Psychomorph, i.e. skipping Mandrasola as it was named #0 in the series which I managed to overlook because I wasn't expecting that. I would recommend simply renaming all the missions so they go 1 to 7 instead of 0 to 6. I doubt anyone would mind and it would remove potential confusion.

I can't tell you much about difficulty of particular FMs because I played only 6 so far. From those I did, I can tell you that "Thief's Den" is short and easy, a demo of sorts. "Requiem" is the best one and the longest one I played so far and it's not very hard. "The Knighton Manor" on Difficult requires you not to use Blackjack so that makes it the hardest for me. Many FMs belong to a specific series. That includes being part of some contest, or being set in the same universe/timeline. My order of playing them is based on that. Look it up here by sorting by Series column: http://wiki.thedarkm...or_The_Dark_Mod You can find 7 top voted FMs here: http://forums.thedar...5-tdm-missions/ Add "Requiem" and "William Steele 1: In the North" to that list because they were released later and they are great. Also, considering that your username is Spider guy, did you...

I liked this FM a lot. Requirement not to KO anybody made me use save/load much more often in return. I tried to play it perfect, but ended up 123 short of loot and with 5 stealth. Final stats say I dealt 1 damage, but I have no idea how or to whom. I guess I bumped into someone.

I would like to join.

Even "Tears of Saint Lucia" contains one spider, and it's not small either. I used to fear spiders for a big part of my life, but managed to overcome that fear.
