I found a "bug". When playing this mission in TDM 2.13 with the addon z_tdm_loot_stealth_stats.pk4 a litlle tool to show loots and stealth score all weapons are invisible . It's Ok in TDM 2.12 It's so simple , similar is in TDM modpack which I use only for fun. I checked some other missions as well in TDM 2.13 and so far did not see this bug. I guess the addon is old and maybe was not updated for later TDM versions ? Anyone to debug it ?

No worries, I am glad that you checked it. There were so many funny inventions in the Thief series. Just wondered if it can be implemented in TDM too with a simple mod addon or this requires to modify the main executable or else too ? Some days ago I found a "visible hands" mod on moddb https://www.moddb.com/mods/the-dark-mod/addons/visible-player-hands which is nice, but not a big deal.

Hi Snatcher Thanks for your response, I am sure we will see more useful or fun mods from you , Cheers

Hi Snatcher, Amazing work so far. I normally pay new missions without any mods, but I keep an instance with the latest Modpack to have some fun. I like the modular setup. I experienced the skill "Peek" only works in Windows. Any chance this will ever work in Linux ? Running TDM in Wine helps, but I prefer native . In older TDM versions Peek resulted a complete blackness, while TDM 2.13 beta shows the "wrong" side and "messed up" picture. Some new ideas: Is there a way to step further Blinking items and make the loot (jewels, gold, goods) glitter like in Thief 3 Deadly Shadows or shimmer like mementos in the FM "Iris" ? It would make finding loot much easier for starters or anyone preferring it. What about shooting moss arrows make opponents suffocate like in Thief 3 ? What about a musket or pistol addon just to make it super fun ?

Hi JackFarmer Thanks a lot for your great work, I've just finished the last mission and really enjoyed the whole campaign series. The puzzles were so creative and funny , I was able to solve all of them without searching or asking help here, I struggled with many other FMs before, not being a native English speaker . I liked part 4 and 5 the most, but the others were also very good. I think your Hidden hands series with its special humour is one the best advocates of TDM, great job . When I think of the Lost citadel "lottery numbers" I can't stop laughing I played with version 1.0 In the 5th part I encountered more crashes than usual under Linux, mainly when I had to quickload 3 or 4 times . The error was "WARNING:idClipModel::FreeTraceModel: tried to free uncached trace model" sometimes the known "pthread joined failed". I run Debian 12 KDE with Nvidia proprietary driver v535. I have no idea if the game is more stable generally under Windows or Linux with Mesa. cheers

I have uncap fps on and max fps set to 300.

This mission, not else If I lower the settings it's better. I was on max highest graphic settings. I got FPS drops from the start, in the staircase etc.

Yes, I am talking about the same thing. FPS drops in certain areas, not generally, right from the start on highest settings. (From 60 to 30) I love TDM too, been playing it since 2017. I think Jack Farmer's Hidden Hands series is one of the most entertaining ones , giving a special atmosphere. The first one of the series was nothing extra, but all the rest afterwards were masterpieces and I had a lot of fun with them. I know how much time is needed to write one mission like this and I appreciate the developers work. I am looking forward to finish this mission .

Hi, I realized , I was playing on the maximum highest settings :)) When I lower some , it is better. Most missions (mostly the older ones) do not have significant FPS drops. I am planning to purchase an AMD RX GPU with which is better supported on Linux, what I prefer . I know my PC (Intel® Core™ i5-4440, Nvidia GTX 1650 ) is not a powerhouse.

I am playing on Linux, Intel core5, GTX 1650, which is not a weak GPU, but low midrange at least. FPS is dropping from 60 to ~30 in some areas and its annoying. Any optimization possible ? As TDM versions evolve, the more this game becomes slower.
