    What others must I play? I prefer to stick with Thief2 FMs unless there are some outrageously good ones for TDP.

     

    I hope that you have all expansion packs & DDFIX installed:

  2. Things that could be improved

    Yeah, and please add a functionary third person view, will ya? But seriously, the playershadow would profit from that, could help to replace the lightgem and save FPS? :unsure:

     

    Even more seriously:

    Surely not the first time you hear this complaint, but the attack radius from spiders and zombies seem too high considering that the player-shortsword can´t hit them as they do hit the player?

     

    Well that's the point, isn't it? Kill them from afar, or even better avoid them !

  7. Illusionist's Tower by stumpy (2010/8/5) Summer FM Vertical Contest Entry

    Thanks. Never thought of that. How Narnia/Simon the Sorcerer :laugh:

     

    My two cents:

     

     

    This was an excellent mission. A lot of lovely details, like the the gravedigger note at the beginning or the broken terrariums (man was I glad that the flesh eating cockroaches were nowhere to be found). The atmosphere, especially the audio was the best I experienced in a TDM mission so far. Teleporting was often used in a genious manner. I also loved the fact that the mission build up a lot of suspense with hardly any AI. Good puzzles.

     

    Cons:

    - the teleporting was overused sometimes, especially in the headlong part. I do not want to

    play those parts again.

    - I could have done without the majority of the pickable locks.

    - Rather a TDM: issue: Grabbing stuff out of chests or buckets is very hard unless you can

    stand in/on the container.

    You cannot make a general statement about "medieval" eating habbits.

    But it is safe to say that "common people" rarely ate beef, maybe once week at best apart from holidays. But this also depended on region, season, city or countryside, occupation, social standing, access to long distance trading and time period !

    Nice :)

     

    I know that modeling & skinning is not easy and I do not want to sound ungrateful, but I just wanted to mention that imo those women look a bit too much 90-60-90 with their big bosoms and all. Where are the chubby barmaids and skinny nobles...or vice versa :rolleyes:

     

    We had a little discussion about the "proportions" issue in the german ttlg forum, if anyone wants to join, be our guest:

  14. Can anyone speak latin?

    @DarqueRaven

    Sorry, but your translation makes no sense to me, these aren't sentences.

    "Quod" is usually used for subordniate clauses, not as conjunction.

    And "Veneratio" stands for a different mode of "honor": Adoration or grace or dignity.

     

    Concerning the translation:

     

    "Honor et Officium" seems fine to me.

    I guess you mean a duty like the duty of a police officer ? Or the duty of a citizen towards

    society or the gods?

     

    "Lex et Ordo"

    Alternatively you can use "Fandum et Ordo", since "fandum" has not that many connections to legislation.

    Very nice contest entry. Loved the ramshackle elements of the design !

     

     

     

     

     

    Ascending is easy if you have a floating beam :rolleyes:

    @Sotha

    I just wanted to let you know that I experienced a heavy FPS drop at the location

    shown below. In general I had great fps, but looking at the fire this way lets my FPS

    drop from ~35 fps to 7-9 fps. Seemed quite weird to me !

    @Sotha

    This proves again that proper reading is essential to a Thief's business :blush:

     

    I like this mission a lot, there are many ways to get things done. The readables add up to a nice atmosphere, and at least in one case leave you wanting more.

    I also liked the fact that you put a shop in the beginning becausea shop is always kind of gamble (which I lost btw). It is also well build (or visportaled), I had no slowdowns at all. One critique: Too short :rolleyes:

     

    And...

     

     

     

    what was the "unmarked key" for?

     

     

     

    @Fidcal

     

     

     

    The cave system leads somwhere / the door can be opened.

    The secret passage to the evidence room cannot be opened from that side.

    You should try to find your luck upstairs in the two rooms

    you haven't visited yet.

     

     

  21. Anyone got a patched version of DooM 3 torrent link?

    in Off-Topic

    Posted · Edited by Chiron

    You want to play the game, you can obviously afford a machine to run it, and you are asking for support for a pirated

    copy. Sounds to me (and maybe I am wrong) like you are looking for the easy and free way.

    Just because you do not like to order a 5 year old game is no reason to steal it.

    It would be different if you simply aren't able to order a copy (export limitations to your country or something like that...).

    So please tell us your story and let me know where I was wrong!

     

    P.S. I mean put some effort into it.

    Just with a quick check I found a Doom 3 torrent that most likely would work with the patch.
