Oh well, had a good run but I was finally able to reproduce on 2.13. I had to disable Subtitles. I guess they were helping to prevent the crash in some odd way.

As of the latest 2.13 Dev Build (dev17026-10712): I am unable to reproduce the crash in The Transaction @Daft Mugi@datiswous@Frost_Salamander@snatcher@kingsal @Araneidaecan you repro in 2.13 dev ?

Let's Necro! Anyone interested in seeing whether 2.12 runs on ancient hardware? Any volunteers?

@Mortem Desino already implemented detail textures into No Honor Among Thieves and his tech demo: https://wiki.thedarkmod.com/index.php?title=Detail_Textures

The mission database has been updated. Thank you!

Now that April Fools is over, this has been added to the mission database. We shall now pray that wellingtoncrab rises from his tomb just like the "Easter protagonist".

This has been added to the mission database now that April Fools is over.

Congrats on the release! I think it'll take a few days for the "reverse April fools prank" nature of this release to be understood / believed. It'll probably be easier once this is in the mission database.

What is going on here? Gotta check this out when I get off of my work shift today...

A sad and happy day all at once! I will be crying while downloading, then smiling as I install, crying while sneaking, smiling while grabbing loot. Very bittersweet and confusing.

Bikerdude has been coaxed ( nagged? ) into joining the contest. He'll be using an abandoned old version of The Elixir that doesn't resemble the current mission at all as a base for his entry.

The Dark Mod 15th Anniversary Contest! To celebrate our 15th year, we are holding a fan mission contest! The Dark Mod project trundles onward for it’s 15th year in a row. In that time we have improved our game engine in countless ways and have grown to over 170 missions! To celebrate our perseverance and the years of improvements to come, we are hosting a contest to mark 15 years since the 1.0 release! Now is your time to demonstrate the mission design that best exemplifies your personal style and capabilities! Please consider entering this event! Unlike most recent contests, there is no defined theme and we are simply going to score based on our standard metrics of Story, Gameplay, and Visuals with our standard weighted scoring: Max Possible = Total Votes * 5 (Outstanding) TotalMaxPointsPoss (TMP) = AllCategoryVotecount(ACV) * 30 Full Weighted Score (FWS) = (Gameplay score*3 + Visual score*2 + Story score) / TMP Contest Submissions should be provided before October 16th so that players can start playing and celebrating on the 17th! The players have been keen to relay that they would like really creative missions so it may be worthwhile to examine our “Community Unusual Contest” to get an idea about the wild range of possibilities we offer to designers. Also, since the contest submission is in October, there will probably be an increased desire for Horror themes. The Dark Mod 2.12 was just released so including new 2.12 features is strongly encouraged. Finally, it might be nice if authors name their protagonist Corbin to match the included missions. ( None of the above suggestions are requirements for the submissions. ) Please post your intention to enter in this thread. Thank you! The Poll on this is to demonstrate the intended design used in the mission release threads.

Looks like "Free for All" is the clear winner. Unless any potential participants object, I will close the poll this evening and prepare the contest rules and announcement.

Seems like the reddit voters are hoping that new missions will be "out there, strange, new". I guess they would've wanted a new "Unusual Contest". Regardless of the winning theme, voters will probably be giving higher marks for "crazy new stuff".

I expanded voting to threads over at the Thief and Dark Mod communities over at reddit ( we might get approx 10 more folks if I'm optimistic ) asw3333 voted for 3) Horror Molda_Fr voted for 1) free-for-all JazzManJ52 voted for 2) T1 style Meddlloide1337 voted for 2) T1 style Ok_Yogurtcloset4018 voted for 1) free-for-all

Language is a tough game. The "lack of a theme" is still a "Contest Theme" when compared to other Contests that have defined themes depending on how deep you want to into a taxonomy discussion. I would have preferred that free-for-all was off the menu but there is a demand for that option.

Since there were objections to it, I went with the two most generic options with popular support. I added horror to the poll since that's always popular here.
