The lightgem graphics has not been touched for ages, but maybe there is a way to add something without annoying everyone.

I'd avoid messing with the style, but doubling the number of distinct steps would be nice. Currently it seems too coarse-grained for me.

[On code style]

 

Uff... hard-coded "magic numbers" like this always make me uneasy.

[Fan Mission:Dragon's Claw by b1k3rdude (31/10/2011) updated]

Cool mission; a lot better than I remember from the first time I played it years ago. I think I got put off by the empty streets and weirdo thief pointlessly guarding a sewer. I had a lot of fun this time round. The plague ruin section reminded me a lot of Haunted Cathedral in T2 and the haunted hospital in T2X.

Not sure I needed 30 noise arrows in my loadout though!

Glitched frame (Shows the curtain texture, covering most of the frame. Also, a hint of the red carpet texture?):

 

I'm seeing the same thing in Dragons Claw, a big chunk of skybox right here:

 

[Unusual Gameplay Contest FM: The Builder's Blocks by Jesps]

Very interesting unusual gameplay mission!

I found two non-interactable fork-mines. Do they have any meaning?

[Beta testing 2.12]

In case you're still tracking and fixing light leaks, I found the following in Poets and Peasants:

 

 

The first picture is dev16814-10408. The second picture is dev16809-10394. Something must have changed between those two devs.

I like to imagine that Tasteless Bert is at least acquainted with the guy in The Black Mage with the ... unique... taste in cakes.

[Fan Mission: Sir Talbot's Collateral by Baal & Bikerdude (15/04/2015)]

Took the opportunity to give this excellent mission another playthrough. I'm pretty sure I found all the new loot items too! There's one I can see but can't figure out how to reach 0.0

[Fan Mission: By The Cookbook]

Really nice mission! I finished in just under two hours with a total loot of about 6,000 and found all five secrets. Admittedly, one of them was a really lucky frob. Congratulations on the release. It's a really fun mission.

[Fan Mission: By The Cookbook]

Congratulations on the release! Downloading now!

[The Factory Heist (12 Sep 2020)]

Thanks! Glad you liked it.

[Fan Mission: The House of deLisle]

I'm pretty sure that mission established the lore, yeah. But I also vaguely recall another mission that uses it as well.

[saving system cost loot]

Let me just say that I like the current save system as it is, and I wouldn't support any changes to it.

Submerging in water is turning the screen pitch black and opaque for a lot of Linux users.

["Must play" Thief or Thief 2 fan missions?]

T2X is quite nice. The custom assets are very effective and I found the story pretty decent- not as solid as Dark Project but significantly more coherent than Metal Age. The only real rough edges were some of the vocals. Recording quality was a bit iffy here and there, and technical limitations meant that some conversations contained awkward pauses. It's a very high quality project and absolutely worth playing.

[Newbie DarkRadiant Questions]

Is there any reason you can't fill the fountain with a brush and turn that into a proper water entity?

[Fan Mission: The Spider and the Finch, by grodenglaive]

Outdoor areas can lag a bit because it's difficult to effectively visportal them. Indoors it's easy- just plop a portal in every doorway and hallway corner- but outside you have much bigger areas with longer sightlines and no obvious places to divide them.

[Fan Mission: A Night in Altham]

Congratulations on the release!

[Fan Mission: The House of deLisle]

Thanks! Glad you liked it. I set it up so you get the key to the basement after collecting all three diary pages, regardless of the order you find them. It lets the player explore the house however they like, but still end up exploring it all.

Huh, it's that time of year again. Time flies

Especially love the atmosphere at the beginning.

Me too. I especially like the tiny little island visible in the distance.

[Free games]

Those Build engine games were great.

[Prey 2017 why wobbly legs? [and general comments]]

I just didn't care about the characters and I didn't find the scenario particularly interesting. Also, I don't like being on a timer. In the base game I could plan ahead and sneak around slowly and stealthily. In Mooncrash you have to Rambo it, and that's not my style.

[Fan Mission: The Spider and the Finch, by grodenglaive]

This is a really nice mission. It's just the right size and difficulty, looks great, and the mission objectives provide plenty of challenge without being obtuse. The manor seemed to be absolutely swarming with guards but there were always opportunities to slip by if you were a bit patient. I finished on the hardest difficulty with a perfect stealth score and about 1800/2024 loot.

Spoiler

I encountered a bug where the LOD of the hanging lantern outside the manor door overlooking the fountain is messed up. From inside the house the lantern is invisible and emits no light; as soon as I step through the doorway it appears and brightly illuminates me.

 

[Prey 2017 why wobbly legs? [and general comments]]

I like the base game, but I really dislike the Mooncrash DLC.
