  1. Fan Mission: The Spider and the Finch, by grodenglaive

    Wow, I can't believe this is a "first" mission. Thank you so much for the perfect balance between difficulty, aesthetics and everything else. This one joins my list of favorites! I'm sorry I had to kill someone instead of bringing him to justice. Twice, in fact: once by throwing the guy off a balcony, a second time by shooting him because it seems that wasn't enough 🫣

    Incidentally, why not implement a feature in the darkmod that lets you surrender instead of being systematically killed? (yes, I don't like death)

    Thank you for this masterpiece. Everything I want in a thief/darkmod mission is there. I think this one belongs to the top of the darkmod FM-list, or at least the top 3 but I can't think of a better one right now. This mod has gone so mature. Thank you for yout skills and time spent.

    For those who want to know if this mission contains undead :

    forgot a question

    Every 6 month I check for new TDM missions and that one has been my favorite for the last 2 years I think. I found a true Thief spirit : a regular stealing start, surprises and loads of secrets, and above all the ... you know ... whatever 😉. A big thank you to you joebarnin, and all of those who made available one of the best free stealth game available on PC.

    Could anyone tell me what the

    button next to Megan chimney does ? Her upstairs neighbour Eloïse wrote a hint to that secret stash I never found, despite the noise clue.

     

  11. Fan Mission: The Gatehouse by Bikerdude & Goldchocobo (updated 02/11/2014)

    Appreciated: This mission is an aesthetical and mechanical masterpiece, that brings puzzles (a part of Thief's success) to the Darkmod at last. The possibilities exploited here give a new space for creativity.

     

    Didn't like: linearity, feeling of emptyness and lack of story.

     

    Puzzles: I found hard to randomly find what was need for puzzle #1, the mirror puzzle was quick to solve with pen and paper.

     

    Bug: the mission finishes with a silent black screen.

     

    A big thanks Bikerdude, Goldchocobo and the team for this completely original surprise!

  14. "Malloc" error with 3GB RAM + 1GB Video Ram ?

    in TDM Tech Support

    Maybe SOME missions should be flagged "not XP compatible". Anyway I just switched to Win 7 and I must say it's really another experience, although I DID have a malloc crash once. Even loading times are far better.

     

    And for programming experts, I carefully watched the RAM usage and in goes up to 2GB almost (if I remember correctly) during first loading of a mission, then goes down back to 700Mo, so it could be fixed, but again, it's so cool under Win 7 I'm not sure it's worth it.

     

    Are you using the /3gb or /PAE switch in Windows XP?

    So there IS a trick to bypass the 2GB problem with XP? never read anything about it before!
