  1. Who's gonna make "Sir Taffsalot's Manor"? This would totally screw with any forum regulars! (Also a rock'n'roll playing architect would be a cool guy to heist...)

      With regards to the opera house all the building work, readables, music composition and recording is done. I just need to stick loot and AI inside and do the objectives then it's beta testing time. Based on how much time I spend doing TDM stuff these days it will probs be my final contribution to TDM TBH.

      "Instead of an art gallery, you'd have a vintage guitar room!" Old guitars rule! Vintage for a Thief!

  3. I've just learnt how to play I need Your Love so Bad by Fleetwood Mac. This just might be the most beautiful thing I've ever played on the guitar.

      Lol if I get free time I'll try and lay down a rhythm track and then do the guitar solos over it. Forgive me if I leave out the parts with vocals in but if you heard my attempts at singing you would consider it a mercy.

  4. My entire library seems to have dissapeared on Photobucket WTF?

      I just used it the other day to upload my tie machine pic. Prior to that I've been using it at least once a month. It's not the end of the world. Unfortunately a lot of my posts on this forum won't make sense anymore as they refer to embeded Photobucket uploads and I can't be fucked to re-upload my entire library.

  5. So I just spent thirty minutes looking for my Thief Gold box, which was in plain sight on a bookshelf all along. I even inspected its area twice, but didn't find it due to its black box. I swear that thing was hiding in the shadows. :o

      The best place to hide something is in plain sight. The last place a thief would look.

      It also comes with a phantom in the basement. It's amazing what you can do with triggers, teleporters and a sick imagination :)

  7. Mother Nature Sings! The wind against my walls is a thousand violins crying for what could have been for mankind! The wheelie bins in my street crashing is the sound of drums beating to the rythym of judgement day. Sing mother nature! Sing your sweet symphony as you eradicate us away to rthe sweet melody of your destruction!

      @ Goldwell:I always save in revisions eg opera house1, opera house 2 etc. So if I fuck something up I can just copy and paste it from a previous revision.

      I've been working in DR for 12 hours and have just had a bottle of wine. I probably shouldn't be posting on the forums at this point.

  9. the clever people that look after my office have made a huge board that bullet points how to use stairs safely. Where have they put it? Right in front of where people get off the office bus so people can go crashing into it as soon as they exit the vehicle. The board that highlights safety is actually a safety hazard.

    1. Sir Taffsalot

      Sir Taffsalot

      My boss said that the company is worried that if people get injured at the work place they will sue the compsny for being a dangerous work environment so they are shoving all this safety crap down are throat. They have really gone over the top with it and are just being silly now.

  10. That feeling when you've been working in DR so many hours that you start trying to delete files in Windows with backspace and unselect them with Esc...

      When I try to unlock my PC at work I occasionally press "Ctrl+Alt+`" to bring down the Doom 3 console as apposed to "Ctrl+Alt+Delete" like I'm supposed to.

  12. I had a go at writing the soundtrack for the current WIP (the opera house FM) I'm working on with Biker. It didn't turn out quite as ambient as I had hoped but I'm still pleased with the results. So I thought I could turn this into a side quest. In addition to stealing the Lute of Oralaphalese there is the option of finding all pieces of Oralaphalese's missing syphony. Every time the player finds a piece some classical guitar music that I composed will get played for a minute.

      Please remember! At no point did I say the songs were any good. But I do like the idea of having multiple hobbies being combined.

      BTW the bulk of the opera house is now complete. As this takes place in a city different to Bridgeport (Lytaglion) I intend to build a bit of city outside of it. It shouldn't be much bigger than that of the city area of St. Lucia. It will be more more of an upper class area though as having an opera house nearby ill mean it's an area of quite considerable wealth.

  14. I've finally seen a doc and a sports physio today, who managed to unlock my shoulder in about 15 minutes! Even better he told me I could resume 2-handed typing and mouse use straight away :) Not rsi-related at all it turned out, I'd done some damage to a muscle whose name I now forget and I had some tissue being pinched in my shoulder joint, that was all.

      Up for an arm wrestling match at the Somerstown tavern?

  15. I've done something to my right shoulder that means I can't move my arm more than an inch from my body :( Can't use a mouse, can't play TDM, can't type well lerft-handed. I can debug stuff left-handed, but so slowly! Hope these heat packs and creams and pills do some good soon!

    1. Sir Taffsalot

      Sir Taffsalot

      I hope your shoulder gets better soon Steve. I look forward to another drinking session in the Somerstown tavern.

    1. Sir Taffsalot

      Sir Taffsalot

      If like me you had no mapping experience before making your first TDM FM then it does feel like learning everything that's involved in making a working FM is an awful lot. I found that once I got my first FM completed making others became a lot easier. Saying that though, there is still an awful lot I can learn.

    1. Sir Taffsalot

      It's the same here in the UK. I like a good thunder storm or snow storm but at the mo it's just grey and cold.

  18. Bit of an odd question and google doesn't seem to find it either but did thief 3 have weather? like rain?

  19. I love my new delay pedal! I have a glass of wine, dim the lights at night, play some jazz or the blues and fade into the night. Pure bliss :)

      Bikerdude is currently doing a pre-beta beta test of it. Once he gets back to me and I fix his suggestions then it will officially be realeased for beta-testing. Want to help out?

      Sorry sir! I found some lock picks and was able to unlock the shackles that bound me to my desk. I'll go straight back and bind myself to the ball and chain. TDM mapping takes priority over everything else. (sarcasm not intended. IMHO it really does.)

      I wear New Rocks. Knee high leather boots with steel vampire buckles all over them. I'm the worlds noisiest thief. I may be evil and steal all that you hold dear but you cant say that I don't give you a fair chance.

  24. I went for an eye test yesterday as the vision on my right eye has considerably deteriorated over the last few weeks. Apparently I don't need glasses but they acknowledged that there's something wrong with my right eye so they referred me to an eye hospital? Is this a good thing or not?

    1. Sir Taffsalot

      Sir Taffsalot

      I'm going to continue mapping. It might be difficult and i might be slower but I'll be damned if I stop myself doing what I want until my eye gets fixed.
