The thing is, you won't reach nearly as many people that way. As you say, it won't hurt. The question is whether it is worth the (unknown) effort. Maybe GOG also requires that the content licensing info is being properly stated (if i understood the Steam stuff concerning TDM correctly). @Springheel: It seems they do. Check here: https://www.gog.com/games?page=1&sort=popularity&price=free

I really don't see the benefit of getting TDM on GOG... rather pay for Google Ads, i think that's much more expedient, if you want to bring TDM to a bigger public. Steam would have been nice, but, yeah...

Game is still too expensive for me. If it's available for 15 €, i will buy.

Dunno, but, that would be interesting to see, wouldn't it?

Don't get me wrong, i love the original Thief's and also TDM, but, the ultimate dream for me would be something on the level of quality of TDM for Deus Ex. I've also been more attracted by cyberpunk/sci-fi settings, think Deus Ex, System Shock or Fallout, than i was by middle age settings (even though i like those too, especially when there's some kind of steampunk involved like in Thief). I'd really prefer a more modern engine than the Deus Ex one, though.

Yeah, about the only reason why i didn't download it. I don't have Resurrection of Evil.

Same here i think. I have an idea what it does though. Probably shows those blue "A-E" "F-I" kind of stuff when you tell the explorer to group by name. Why that would be turned on by default, and could not be deactivated, i have no idea. Do you, by chance, have any kind of software installed which messes with the start menu or the explorer? Otherwise, try a full restart (not just "turn off PC"), which sometimes fixes such oddities.

Don't get me wrong, i really look forward to OLED displays getting affordable. I love my smartphone's AMOLED screen. As you said, it's also way better for dark screen content. Apart from being much better in colours.

Maybe, but they're surely way over my budget. OLED's are also organic, so, they don't bear up nearly as long as LCD screens.

Hm... no idea to be honest. I always sort them, because it's much easier for me to find stuff then. What happens when you right click in the explorer window, choose Sort by -> More -> and then untick all options?

+1 Even though that should be "missions".

Lighten up. Windows 10 is great. What exactly do you mean with grouping?

TBH, i couldn't care less what Eidos does about Thief's 20th birthday. I don't expect anything from them in the regard of keeping the series alive in any way anyway. If i want to play Thief, i play the original parts 1-3, or i play TDM. Anything else is just bollocks anyway. And i don't care about a film either. What exactly apart from the current Hollywood nonsense, which is tailored to nowadays demandless crowd is to be expected anyway?

Wow, that looks great. Didn't know it was so System Shock like.

Hehe. Replace one problem (Xserver) with the other (Wayland). TBH, i'm glad i don't use the mess called Linux anymore. (Not helpful, i know. But, every now and then i feel like ranting about something i used for years, and which never really developed into anything, when i used it.)

I'd think that when only the lights which were turned on get back on makes the most sense. I don't know what you want to do with it, but, that's what i would imagine is the best solution. Will also make it look more "pro". On top, in RL, there are many different circuits, so, it'd make sense to divide different districts to different power grids. Or generators, like in Dark Mod.

They are ruled by a certain Khal Drogo. Just kidding, i have no idea. There is so much lore which is literally unexplored, because there is no content available, or people simply didn't have the motivation to make missions for it. The pagans, for example. I loved those in the original Thiefs. I imagine that the barbarians also have some kind of religious figure, like the pagans, and that they have brutal rites, and punishments for those not conforming to their codex. I would also imagine that they prefer their way of life, nomadism, and a free will, to the life in the cities, otherwise they probably would have already tried to force their way into those. Shame that there are no models for the Barbarians, i could imagine some interesting missions surrounding them. Still would prefer the Pagans though, as they're better integrated into the lore. I think, for the Barbarians, it's enough that they're some kind of threat for vendors outside the city.

Excuse the stupid question, but... what does it mean you had to revert your map back? Is there some kind of repository somewhere online where people work together on mao, without a copy of the map stored locally, so you can get back to it any time you want anyway?

Fair enough. Especially as i know that you're not the kind of guy who'd easily, and quickly disrespect or exclude someone. Can't be said for everyone, but, the way i know the people involved in this mod, i guess there's definitely something about Bikerdude that pisses other people off. I only know him through his posts in this forum, so. Although the Windows 10 threads, and others kind of annoyed me too.

I read all this, and, while i have no insight about what has been going on behind the curtains, and, while i understand the points made, i still think it is so feaking sad, because Bikerdude's maps were among my favorites every time, and i never had the feeling that he's notoriously and blatantly copying from anyone. Maybe the truth is somewhere in the middle, and people also acted partly because of a general dislike? At least the latest discussions on this forums really make me think so.

You know what's the biggest tragedy about this? That so few people who still make missions for this mod have to fight against each other. I can see why Bikerdude was a controversial figure, but, man... this is a real shame, especially as it also involved a member who has never created a single map for this mod. I just hope that someone will join the community who is as big as a workhorse as Bikerdude was.

Happy new year. Hope i'll play some more TDM in 2019.

Very unlikely.

Nice, really looking forward to it.

Is that your own mission, or the thing you posted on the last page too? Looks very nice.
