Not so long ago I found what could make a pretty good profile picture and decided to try it out on these new forums. But I couldn't find a button anywhere that would let me change it. I asked on Discord and it seems Spooks also couldn't find anything anywhere. So I logged into an old alternative account and, lo and behold, that account has a button. This is on the first screen I get when I: 1) click on my account name in the top-right of the browser -> 2) click on 'profile'. Compared to my actual account: Are you also missing this button on your account? It'd be very much appreciated if that functionality could be restored to any of the affected accounts.

Hi, I need to know what the code is to use Spoiler Tags. I am using my tablet and I don't have the options to use anything, like spoiler tags, quote tags, text changes etc. Thanks

Anyone interest in doing a (sorta) 3 month speed-build contest? I was thinking of a very loose (fall \ winter) theme and an emphasis on audio \ sound-scape. Any interest in a fall contest?

My entry for the Great Summer Vertical FM Contest: Game play:- http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=d-fon8KWqn8 Intro: As usual it's the end of the week and I'm down my local tavern, enjoying the charms of Jessica... I make gratuitous remarks about the size of her, juggs and she assertion's on the size of my, blackjack.... I thought my luck was in, that was untill we were interrupted... Some taffer in a drunken stupor managed to knock my ale, all over Jess. That put Jess in a right mood, which meant my blackjack and I would be sleeping alone that night..." Build Time: 2 months, starting Middle of June. Thanks:- Huge respect to the Dark Mod team for such a great mod and for all the hard work they put into it and continue to put into it. Special thanks to Fidcal, Serpentine and others for their help on the forums and to my beta testers: Jdude, Fids, Serps, Grayman, nbohr1more, Melan and others who did an awesome job. Info: # Like Thief, some things that look climable are. Also most of the keys in the mission can be dropped. Oh and do explore, you wont be able to escape unless u do.. # Due to TDM being a lot more of a resource hog than T2 I have been forced to limit the number of Ai in the mission, this unfortunately means some players wont feel challanged, sorry but that's the way it is. # On Expert the player starts with no weapons - if you think your a master thief then you don't need any. There are weapons to be found, but they are for other purposes. Known issues:- # This mission will have less than optimal fps at a few points on the map. # On low end PCs I recommend, V-sync is off, AA is off, Aniso is 4x or lower and that any and all background apps are closed. update: I have updated the mission to fix the following bugs: # fixed corrupt brushed giving node warning in console. # fixed floating geode. # the impassable tunnel. # the light source on the wall gate # move one of the wall guards to the guard hut. # corrected the inner vault door, (should have been unpickable to begin with) # removed pointless optional objective (blame jdude, his idea to add it in the first place, lol)

The theme for this contest is “Lost Places.” The idea is to create a mission that takes place away from the civilized areas of the world. The setting should involve something remote and abandoned, typically run down and deteriorating, and not easily accessible. Places where the original inhabitants are long gone (but others may have taken their place). Examples might include: Ancient templesExotic ruinsLost citiesDeserted castlesAbandoned factories/warehousesNeglected tombs/cryptsVacated villages And so on! Time Period: Today (April 4th) to August 31st (about 5 months) Open to: All variants of Thief. This includes Thief 1, Thief Gold, Thief 2, Thief Deadly Shadows, and The Dark Mod. Voting: We’ll decide on voting closer to the deadline, but I’m sure it will be similar to what’s been done in the past, with a poll on TTLG. Restrictions: There are no restrictions on size or use of custom content. If possible, send me a PM and let me know if you intend to enter the contest. When done, send me a link to your mission and I will host it on Southquarter. Good luck to all! Edit: Late addition to the rules - you are allowed to build your mission off of work done prior to the start of the contest. This would likely be in the form of an old/abandoned mission that was never finished. You cannot however use any completed missions (such as an OM or FM) as a base.

Hi guys, through the "cheats" topic I got the idea, that it would be quite useful, if there were tags for missions (the post was about removing the killing restriction in some missions to suit the prefered play style). I don't know how easy or difficult this is, but with them, it would be quite convenient to pick missions with playstyles, environment, etc one does want to use. This could also be expanded to other mission properties. I remember a discussion about climbable drains, handles on doors, that cannot be picked and other things the map author chooses for himself. That way these things would be clearer and as I said before, it is easier to choose missions with playstyles that suit oneself. What do think?

I'm sure everyone has seen this by now: http://www.amazon.co...ocId=1001928521 The timing of the contest announcement caught us by surprise, so we weren't able to confirm out involvement immediately. But yes, the contest is legitimate and The Dark Mod is a part of it. Contest FAQ This FAQ is based on the information I was given in conversations with Square Enix. Not all of it has been reflected in the contest rules posted thus far. Until it is confirmed in writing, you should accept this information at your own risk. Why is The Dark Mod involved? The Dark Mod was born in the Thief community, and was created and supported by Thief fans. If something is good for the Thief community, then The Dark Mod is happy to be a part of it. And what could be better than something that celebrates the terrific talent and passion of mission authors and modders (not to mention giving them cool prizes)? It's also nice to have The Dark Mod officially recognized by the owners of the Thief franchise. Can I enter a mission for The Dark Mod into the contest? Yes. You can use any Thief platform (T1, Thief Gold, T2, TDS) as well as The Dark Mod. If you're entering the "If I Could Mod, I Would Create" category, you don't even need to use a platform at all. Just share your great idea! Do I have to use Thief: Gold for the contest? No. You can download Thief: Gold for free, but you don't have to. Even if you download it, you don't have to use it for the contest. Consider it a free gift from Square Enix. Why can't people outside the US enter? I agree that's unfortunate. The Thief community is world-wide. As far as I know, the limitation is due to the involvement of the US division of Amazon, who is providing a lot of the prizes. It seems that different divisions of Amazon support contests only in their own regions. There may be future announcements on this point, however. So can I use The Dark Mod to create a Thief mission? The Dark Mod has always been careful not to use any IP belonging to Square Enix. However Square Enix has agreed in conversations with me that they are allowing people to use Thief IP in The Dark Mod for the purposes of the contest. However, until this information is reflected in writing we will continue our policy of not endorsing, supporting, or hosting TDM missions that use Thief IP. Note that you can enter the "If I could mod I would create" category without creating anything at all, so copyright questions would not apply. So how do I enter the contest then? You don't have to download Thief: Gold. First, you should decide which category you want to enter: "Look, I made a Mod" or "If I could Mod, I would create". If you're doing the second one, all you need to do is make a short video pitching your cool idea. The more creative your pitch, the better. If you're entering the first category, then you need an actual mod/mission to showcase in your video. Can I enter something I have already done? Yes! You do not have to create something new for the contest (although you can). The contest is to celebrate the talent of the Thief community, and that includes things that have already been created. How are the winners determined? We'll need to wait for more details about this. I know Square Enix originally wanted the community to vote for the winners, but they had to work out the details with Amazon. Some press releases are stating that The Dark Mod is involved in the judging, but this is NOT correct. If there is a community voting process then we will be a part of that, but members of The Dark Mod have no privileged role in judging (which also means we are not barred from entering, as currently stated by the contest rules). Does this mean The Dark Mod is endorsing the new Thief? The Dark Mod doesn't have an official position on the new Thief game. But my personal position is that any game that has the potential to create new fans of first person stealth gaming is a good thing for us. Why should I enter the contest? Well, aside from the ability to win some pretty cool prizes, your contest entry is basically a promotional video for your mod or mission. It's free advertising. And if it's a TDM mission, it's free advertising for us as well. ===================================================================== Here are some links about the announcement: http://www.pcgamer.c...ng-competition/ http://news.softpedi...es-428148.shtml http://www.girlgamer...e/article/3215/ http://www.gamenguid...new-contest.htm

Just a heads up, but we've been kicking around ideas for an FM contest over at TTLG recently, and I've pretty much decided I want to start one up soon. The theme will be "Lost Places." The idea is to create something distant/remote and away from The City proper. Ancient ruins, lost temples, abandoned buildings, crumbling tombs, anything along those lines. I don't think there's every been a combination Thief/TDM contest, so I want to do that. Since there is no need for specific factions or places, this should work fine. So any entries for T1, TG, T2, TDS, or TDM will be accepted. This seems like it could be a good contest for TDM, as I don't think there are a lot of "Lost City" type missions out there. It seems like most missions take place in Bridgeport. Build time will probably be between 4-6 months - I wanted to go a bit longer this time in hopes it will produce some higher quality missions. Anyway, this will probably all start up within a week to 10 days, so if you have any suggestions, I'd love to hear them.

Hey, Every time I've try to use the Full Editor when PM'ing someone, and every single time I get an error. Whoever is in charge of the forum, is it possible that this could be fixed? Thanks Neon
