RUNE is a game I want to try, I'm surprised it has a mod for yet another obscure game itself...What the hell? It's funny really, you make a mod based on an obscure game, for an obscure game. Still, hope to try it some day, it may be good, hopefully RUNE by itself is too.

Well, this is just sad...I was not able to play any Thief or TDM whatsoever, why? Too busy the past 2 months, this month I'm not as busy BUT it's also very heaty in my place.
I can't play Thief when it's not at least 15c or lower, the game demands to be played when it's cold for...Well, may sound stupid but I'll just say it, for that "immersion".
It's kinda like playing Quake during Summer, which unless it's the Summer Jam mod, I don't think it's as fun.

You can play and make time for TDM/Thief, everywhere you want. Because you can run it on your portable devices, like on laptop/steamdeck/android phone - tablet. using android apps like idtech4a++ and winlator. More info see wiki and topic. (Havent tested savegame syncing yet)
-
Solution: Get a summer and winter home for playing TDM in different climates. Perhaps a castle.
-
It's a good solution actually, but not one when you're low on capital, as in money

I don't mean it in that way

There were some TDM missions I wanted to do, never got to, some I want to replay even. I remember one from...Probably 2021 or 2022, where it takes in Winter and there's even Snow. Now, I was playing this and the next day it became so heaty I had to take my T-Shirt off, so imagine that, very "unimmersive" to play TDM like that, with no real cold in the world!
And there's many from 2023 to 2025 I've never got to play.

It's actually hard to play Thief Gold once you've played The Black Parade. The difference is stark.

With Windows 10 "dead", I plan to use Linux, just not sure which. CachyOS seems best, but not for a beginner. Bazzite, in turn, is even better, for a beginner at least, but CachyOS is way more pro-performance. There's also Linux Mint, which is not as good as it claims to be. Also, ZorinOS, apparently it's for those that want to go from Windows 10/11 to Linux. So many to pick, but looking at how bad Windows 11 is and my friends were having issues with it? Heh, I don't even want to give it a second try anymore.

Actually, I know a friend who is into it and...He has learned that X-Ray was NEVER meant to be open source, it was a leak, an old leak, and those who are doing OpenXRay are technically illegally using an engine, this was news like a year ago or so. Still, with the whole legal dilemma outside...X-Ray is a great engine, but I don't think it will be good for The Dark Mod whatsoever, the architecture is old, only arguably a bit more modern than Id Engine. So, theoretically speaking, I can't imagine a Thief-inspired game running on X-Ray...

Fan Mission: The Hare in the Snare, Part 1
The Black Arrow replied to Frost_Salamander's topic in Fan Missions
I remember playing this back 3 or 4 years ago and I absolutely loved it, it's great how there are so many things to look and find, such as that...Uh, what the hell was that thing even? Anyway, for just an Inn mission, there's some things to do here and there, I absolutely love that. This is one reason I love Thief missions that take place in Inns and you've done it to perfection! I am only sad at one thing; it's been about some years and there's no Part 2, not even in the works, yet? I really hope to see it one day... -
That is very nice indeed, fantastic job! Sorry I did not respond earlier regarding the visible shadows and the like, it's sad to know that it is not possible but the hunt still continues nonetheless and this mod is great either way, I have a good feeling that in some later future, your mod will be integrated into The Dark Mod by default.

Been away for quite a long time, didn't have much free time sadly, but the little that I had I was able to play a Romhack for Ocarina of Time called "Sands of Time".
It's great, fun, rather hard but too but I like it (except when it's way too tedious, only some parts are, not all of them)
Although the reason I'm sharing this is...Listen to the music, I've timestamped it to 27:56, it's titled "Memories Lost".
Doesn't it sound so serene, so melodic...So Thief-like? It's fantastic, I love it, it reminded me of Thief and how much I want to get back to it, so hopefully this month or the next, I will have a lot of free time to play it.
I can't wait to try that new big Thief campaign, The Black Parade, it seems to be promising.No spoilers please, but can someone tell me if it has horror elements? Or better yet, horror mission...Or even missionS?

Welcome back! Live sometimes prevents you from doing the things you wish to do.

Amazing, this is a very interesting mod. It's not exactly something I like, I somehow like it when I have my lamp out without the hand, I just imagine he uses it on his hip or so. For the compass, well...Magic for all I care. Adding this into default TDM would be great, as an option. However, what really intrigues me from this is the possibility that it could be upgraded into also making it so you can see your own legs and shadows? If possible, that'd be even greater! Also, this mod makes me realize that the Player Model needs a complete overhaul, the meshes, UV textures and even bones are so bad, hah!

Good mission, I was played it yesterday at night and was rather enjoying it, feels like a good refresher to play a more simplistic mission compared to something as massive as Iris or Seeking Lady Leicester, it's something like...For lunch, you will have Beef Bourgignon with roasted red potatoes, but when it's playing "A House Call", it's just cast iron-pan cooked potatoes with maybe some onions, simple but still as delicious and as filling. I'll be doing a full review now but with spoilers. The story/lore: The graphics: The gameplay: Oh and I want to be specific about something: So, overall, this is a good mission to play if you want to relax and have some of that good ol' TDM gameplay. I would rate it a 3.5/5, maybe even 4/5.
-
Five seconds? What was the map like back then, just a closed area where you must open a door and go through to finish? I like these short missions where it has more content than what it officially tells ya, just like "Moving Day 2: Look Who's Moving Now".

Hey @Ansome, are you still around? I think it's been about 3 months since you've had an issue with an SSD, right?

You certainly could have just PM'd me, but you rang so here I am. Great news: I'm not dead! I fixed my SSD issue several months ago, had to replace it entirely, but otherwise no issues since then.

I've played this and I think that, even if it's too bloody short, it's still bloody good I like how the mission is different in each difficulty, something similar to what Fieldmedic did in the past (and even the present, hurrah!) I like all the details you've put, I've noticed that one peculiar book is not, peculiarly, the same everytime. You know what I mean, and those who replayed it also know. I would replay this mission to get a good feel of that The Dark Mod shorts in it, good job with this.

Fan Mission: Seeking Lady Leicester, by Grayman (3/21/2023)
The Black Arrow replied to Amadeus's topic in Fan Missions
Yes, I've played "A Good Neighbor" before during a good time where there was also nice cold weather, "Eye on the Prize" is new to me, I'll check it out. -
Thank you! I have found what I've been looking for, these were the only two things missing, I'm surprised I didn't have any other missing. You know, I have to say though...
