I have only just discovered this mod, and I can't remember the last time I was this excited about any mod or game for that matter. I already have a few suggestions / questions for the mod, but I thought I would introduce myself first. I am obviously a huge Thief series fan. Thief 1 and parts of 2 were the best (minus the robots), and Thief 3 was a bit of a let down. The Dark Mod really seems to capture the next iteration of Thief that I was longing for in Thief 3.
I have exprience in the following:
3D modeling (milkshape 3D, a little 3DS Max & Maya)
Skinning
Photoshop
Light animation
Mapmaking (Duke Nukem 3D, Half-Life, Counter-Strike Source)
Weapons Mods (Max Payne, Jedi Outcast / Academy)
Player Model replacement - Counter Strike 1.6
Here's a link to my Lightsaber hilt pack for Jedi Academy with over 20,000 downloads
Admittedly, I haven't done a thing related to modding or map making in a few years, but this is the type of project for which I would gladly get my hands dirty again. I have looked through the forums a bit, and I see that my list of skills may not be needed. That's ok, but I am also willing to learn something new if someone doesn't mind teaching.
From what I have read on the FAQ, it appears the Dark Mod will be providing the tools for others to make their own custom missions. Are there plans yet for a cohesive grouping of missions that would maintain some sort of over-arching campaign plot? If not, I would love to at the very least help contribute somehow to a complete set of missions with an over-arching plot full of twists and turns, with thief-like cutscenes. I realize the challenges such an endeavor would entail at the very least from an intellectual property standpoint (Who's Garrett? The voice-over guy just sounds like him and only refers to himself as me myself and I )
Anyway, I tend to be a bit too wordy in forum introductions and my intros also seem to have a gnack for generating oppositional responses, so I hope that isn't the case here. I am just very excited about discovering this mod and would love to see a cohesive set of missions appear and possibly be a part of it.

Hey I'm brand new to the mod - just played through the tutorial and am currently trying out the user created maps in the downloads section. Is there a way to enable cheats? Like more than just noclip & god mode (i.e. all weapons / gadgets etc.) - I am very curious to tinker around as I have done some mod making, 3D modeling, and map making in the past, and I am a HUGE fan of the thief series. This mod is beautiful and brings back a special gameplay experience that has been missing for years! Great work!

haha I always get ahead of myself! I can't even begin to imagine what the team is feeling after 5 years--I certainly wasn't trying to suggest the team hop straight into making a fully fledged campaing, but I will definitely see if I can drum up some interest from newer sources.
