[Christmas]

Thankfully, technology makes it possible, to stay in "touch" at least audio-visually - even if your friends are scattered around Europe for the holidays...

Marry holidays for you all!

[Beta Testers wanted: The Black Mage]

Weekend pending, I'd like to help, too.

tdm_update is no longer a valid way to install TDM.
In fact, it should give you a warning about it immediately when you start it... did you see the warning?

Nope.

After running tdm_installer, version #9652 is reported.

[The Bulders Influence Update Yields an Errormessage]

#9108, and currently, it says no new missions available.

And running tdm_update tells me, my TDM installation is up to date.

Looks like the problem is gone, for whatever reason...

[The Bulders Influence Update Yields an Errormessage]

Recently tried to download all the new or updated missions, but the last remaining one gives the attached errormessage.

Starts and seemingly runs fine, though.

I'd love to, too

[Beta Testers Wanted: William Steele 6 - Baleford Museum]

I'd like to give it a spin.

As per usual on easy settings

[Best Blocker Add on for Firefox?]

I use uBlock Origin plus Ghostery as an additional layer of protection. I'll get the occasional blank page, but I don't care. If I really, really want to visit an blocked URL, I'll rip out all drives, boot Ubuntu live CD and fire up an unprotected browser...

[Tons of translations added?]

Roughly 1 in 5 missions updated doesn't seem right...

I'd like to give it a spin, too.

Hey, thanks for playing!

As far as the Builder, this might actually be my fault. When he's alerted he goes to an alert path node in the room, but I don't know if he calms down. I should maybe give him a patrol outside of the room to give the player some breathing room. Will fix in the next update. (Keep in mind, getting to the holy water is not mandatory to complete the mission)

And for the water station, the welder is not your way forward

 

Thanks, I stopped looking for a welder and could rob the vault regardless.

As for hammer guy, he was still pacing around when I came back after all of this, so, he ain't calm down.

I tried distracting him with a noisemaker, only to have him stuck at his bed in high alert.

I managed to put out all lights, so I was able, to throw Atiq's charm into the holy water

Again, nice mission, thank you!

 

[Fan Mission: A Good Neighbor (2020/03/08)]

Very nice mission!

But I'm stuck at two points.

Hammer guy is up and pacing in his room, making it next to impossible to use the holy water. Aren't they supposed, to calm down after being alerted?

In the water station, I can't pick up the welder and I also see no sheets. Am I looking in the wrong place (the table, where the manual was)?

[Alpha Testers Needed for Masters Thesis Mission]

Fairly new to the concept, but would like to participate, please!

[Hidden Hands: Initiation (27/12/2018)]

... I created a walkthrough for this mission on my website.

Had a short look at the walktrough. You do realise, that knocking out everybody and their little sister will fail the mission on medium and hard difficulty?

[Hidden Hands: Initiation (27/12/2018)]

Version 2 is somehow not recognised as an update - you'll have to manually delete the old version from your fms directory, to see the new one on the server...

[Problem with Hidden Hands]

For me, the loadscreen takes 18 seconds to start. Did you wait long enough?

[Beta Testers Needed: The Night of Reluctant Benefaction]

Me too, please

[Beta Testers needed for new map "Hidden Hands: The Joining"]

If I may, I'd like to test on easy.

Using just the little box will do the trick. It can be a bit finicky, though

 

[Crash to desktop using combination lock]

I added the following to the beta test thread, maybe it is useful here:

 

I found out one more thing: It crashes, if the dial is touched, after the safe opens.

 

Since I'm using the mousewheel for dialing, I seem to overshoot the last number one in five times.

 

Reproducing it with the keys also will lead to a crash, if you put in one more keystroke, as the number you'll need.

 

So it looks like its not the opening per se, but dialing after it opens - even if the door hasn't moved yet.

 

Maybe this can help to get to the bottom of this.

[Web browsers: poll and discussion]

Er did you post in the right thread Surfer...?

I believe I did

[Web browsers: poll and discussion]

Since this is a throwaway testbed, I gave it a go.

 

"newest" comments from the blog are from 2 months ago... Hmm

 

Search results are localised, and don't put me where I'd expect them to be. You know, e, g, Iranian content provider for movie downloads.

 

I'm terrible sorry, but I'll pass.

[Requiem Question]

It`s no big deal at all. Loading this mission makes me want to replay this wonderful mission again. A big thank you

[Requiem Question]

Yes.
