I just downloaded the latest beta version of the Dark Mod right now and by starting this specific FM: Iris, I get this black screen with the music and ambient sounds in the background, but no picture showing. I was only able to get to the mission briefing page showing the objectives of the mission and then by clicking on "Objectives" It takes me to a black screen. What is causing this issue? My other fan missions work just fine, I tested out other ones, so it's not my game. Could be this is a broken fan mission?

As the titles say the names of the mission are not showing up. This is also the latest version (2.09) so I have no clue how to fix this. Any ideas?

Hey there kids, so, I'm looking for a Fan Mission that I have played some time ago, I believe it was in 2018. The author, might have been one of our veteran members, like Goldwell or Sotha, but even if I might know the Author, I didn't seem to find it. The best detail I can give though is a spoiler, here: Could someone help me find this mission?

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ "Beneath the sands of Al Farum lie the desolated compounds of the Clockmaker's disciples. Before they made time itself become uniform, hours and centuries were pouring into the different lands like summer rains - unequally. Some lands, unimaginably ancient, were worn down by wind and sun, while others remained forever young like gardens of The First Serpent, filled with the creations of yet unskilled gods. Travelling helped to not only develop the sense of space, but also the - now forgotten - sense of time currents. That's where the disciples came from - travelers of time's labyrinth, always aware of its imperfections and splits, skilled in recognizing threats that grazes from the outside of time itself. To prevent floods and droughts of time, the disciples went back as far as they could to the source of time and studied it - they were referring to it as the Great Clock, the Clockmaker, the Time Sun - whatever it is, it tends to lose its impact on random locations, causing the land to fracture and tremble. The disciples managed to develop machines, the Great Clock's pendulums, that adjust its work and makes the world appear as we tend to think it always is. But the travelers are long gone now. It is unknown if they failed to foresee a terrible fate that awaited them in their struggle, or if they mastered their art to the point where they decided to abandon this torn apart world, making a great leap to a better one. All that remains are partially operational machines maintaining unseen matter with growing effort. Sadly, it seems that the only ones who can make use of its bizarre manifestations are the wealthy tourists who find joy in the spectacle of balancing life and death, movement and stillness. Simple minds toying with the scales that used to dose the essence of time, they mindlessly throw sand into the clockwork world's gears. The split is imminent and the momentum unstoppable, yet there is no one to foresee it." -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Simple idea of spawning different creatures on enclosed arena - they fight with each other or with you. Default teams are townsfolk and monsters (both undead and spiders). Thieves are on player's side. Pagans, moors and mages on elementals side. download link: https://1drv.ms/u/s!AoIlw2GQnPGZdyRRqJspMgGsi38

Evenin, Taffers! My FM for the Grand Christmas FM Contest, Business as Usual... updated 16-01-10 (fixed all of the minor errors people were having) "Got a new place in the old quarter, but as the saying goes 'the more things change the more they stay the same..." "...Tiss the holiday season and the first snows are upon us, bah bloody humbug. As usual there is a local thief who needs taking down a peg or two and some noble boasting about his wealth down the local tavern. Thankfully this part of town is free from the likes of the Builders, but my 'old friends' the Guardians are as usual keeping an eye on things..."

Special thanks to Fidcal, Serpentine and others for their help on the forums and to my beta testers: Serpentine, 7upMan, StiFuNelson, FFox, Acolyte, Chiron and others who did an awesome job.

Hello fellow Taffer’s, been a while, last posted here back when I was 16 & now I am 20 years old lol, I figured I would come back knowing ever since then new Fan Missions would have been developed & released for the duration I disappeared into the shadows Right now I am looking for complete great Fan Missions to play, any kind really, whether Horror or Stealth, I am making a big list of Fan Missions to play & I wanna get down the ones that are really worth my time, underrated Fan Missions are also much appreciated so long as they are complete & stable.

Hello, I'm new to the dark mod. I just installed it and I can't select any missions. None show up in the available mission screen even after downloading a couple fan missions. It kinda seems like the missions are there, just invisible. But selecting them and clicking the install mission button only restarted the game and didn't do anything. I tried using different versions of The Dark Mod like 2.09, 2.09a, 2.09b, and the latest 2.10 beta and none of them made a difference. If it matters, my pc specs are AMD Ryzen 5 2500u, Radeon Vega 8 Graphics, 8 GB Ram.

Screenshots: Mission: Breaking out the Fence Version: 1.00 Released: 17/03/2014 Theme: City Author: kyyrma Testing and additional content: RJFerret, Airship Ballet, Goldwell Breaking out the Fence continues the story from my first FM In a Time of Need. The player once again takes the role of an anonymous Thief who is getting tangled with an organization called the League of Seafaring Merchants. This time you will be sneaking your way into an import shop down at the South Docks and getting your fence Terry out from a pinch you have indirectly got him into. Prior knowledge of the story is not strictly necessary, and the level works just as well as a one shot stand-alone mission. Note that the story briefing is quite long - if you don't appreciate walls of text in your game, all the relevant information is on the last page. However if you want to set the mood and enjoy a good tale of skullduggery then give it a read. The difficulty level is moderate to high, and compared to my last mission it is much larger. The average play time should be around 1 - 2 hours depending on how much you decide to explore the level. You will start the level with only a blackjack, compass, spyglass and a map. You have to find the rest of your equipment while on the job. If you can't find a pair of lockpicks, remember to keep your eyes peeled for keys! The only differences between difficulty settings are the objectives, with higher difficulties requiring either a no-kill or a full ghost playthrough. Injection needles have been made a loot item, so remember to pick them up if you are going for loot completition I've succumbed under peer pressure and decided to have a poll where you can rate the level, but I would really appreciate your comments as well! Please get back to me if you have any questions or critique regarding the mission. Help! I'm stuck! How do I find the key to the closed off area in the sewers?

"In remembrance of him" version 2.0 You are a nameless hero, who was asked for help by someone you feel deep compassion for. Your plan is to avoid the streets and head towards your goal through the nearby buildings and inner alleys. Unfortunately for you, the area is not a peaceful one this night in particular. This is not meant to be a classic Thief-like mission, though I believe all the major elements are there; its meant to be more of an adventure where the player has freedom to move inside the available space in different ways, can choose to confront or to sneak past challenges, to get involved with the characters around him and explore, or to avoid any detour and head directly for his objective; he will also be faced with obstacles to his progress that will have to be overcome using a mix of dexterity and logical thinking. This is not a mission for beginners, ironically - there will be very little equipment other than your weapons, and you will need reasonable knowledge of your character's physical skills and limits (jumping, mantling), as well as being able to easily interact with objects, in order to succeed. Some of the encounters with enemies might also be difficult. Not every person will be aggressive towards the player, however. It is possible to find peaceful folks gathering outside, minding their own business. Of course, everyone who catches you invading their homes will defend themselves, and they might unite to face you. Others will be hostile to the player on sight - approach anyone outside with care; don't trust dangerous men carrying heavy weaponry. You don't need to kill any innocents to fulfil your goal.

Intro: Back among these old walls again, it seems. The alleyways and courts beckon, the smells and flickering lights the same as ever. Have I been away so little that I remember them all? No matter. This time, my objective once more brings me to the Builders: one of their workshops has recently received a shipment of potent explosives... Although inert before it is treated with a volatile compound, there is bound to be a mechanician who will pay a good price for the lot. That settles my agenda for the night. I must be careful, since the Builders aren't known to be lenient with trespassers... and if they knew it was the same fellow who had already paid them a visit... but best not dwell on trivialities. I have found a way to the street where the storehouse is located, and hid myself next to the south gate. If I am unable to open it from inside when I am done, I may just have to find another way out. It is an hour before midnight. Time to go.." Build Time: 3 months. 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.

Info # Please download TDM 1.04 before playing this FM, as a lot of 1.04 textures have been used! # On very low end PC's with a "Pentium"4 or "HD2400pro" that are even considered low for vanilla Doom3, I recommend that V-sync is off, AA is off, Aniso is 4x or lower and "Ambient rendering" & "interaction shader" are set to their lowest settings. Also playing any tdm mission I suggest you do a fresh reboot of windows, this will flush the ram which enables a few extra fps in tdm. Enjoy

Penny Dreadful is a fan mission series dealing with the exploits and misfortunes of Gerald Foxley, lowlife and common opportunist. To stick with the theme of lurid and disreputable pulp literature, these missions are planned to be nasty, brutish and short (more or less). They also allow me to experiment with gameplay ideas which do not fit TDM standards. In the first episode, The Grail of Regrets, what started out as a routine case of extortion ended with Gerald in the possession of the eponymous Grail. In the second, we will quickly learn that his newfound fortunes would be even shorter than anticipated... All the Way Up "Some say sudden wealth is a blessing, but those people are suckers. Me, I am the more careful kind. So when it turned out The Grail of Regrets, this sinister relic I dug up from a long-forgotten undercellar, brought in an unexpected number of the rich and influential, I knew my only course of action was to sell, and do it quickly. My best offer came from Archibald Flint, the boss of Fiddler's Hill and its merry men: one of the bigger names in the business, and as they say, the occult. Not that I would say no: if a man like him wants something, an independent can only hold out so long as he has contacts left - or fingers. Trouble is, someone else also wanted to do him a favour... On my way to Fiddler's Hill, I took a shortcut through Willett's Bridge, an antique thoroughfare bypassing some of the slums I wanted to avoid. The place enjoys a bad reputation - high tolls, confiscated cargo, and a series of gruesome accidents. Not the best place to be seen carrying a precious relic, but when you are in a hurry it is easy to make mistakes. The ramshackle mansion above belongs to a man named Messer Montrose, a factor who lords over the place with a group of thugs, and whose contacts with the Bailiff of the nearby jail has made him above the law. His men were waiting for me high above the city, and after a savage beating, threw me over the bridge down into the muddy streets. And so..." Download links: MEGA (43 MB) ...and the mission downloader! ***Performance warning***:due to its construction, this mission's hardware requirements exceed the TDM baseline. The mission has been tested on a variety of configurations, and generally produces acceptable frame rates on contemporary or slightly out of date hardware. Some older PCs may experience significant slowdowns in the open areas, which may render the mission unplayable for some people. I offer my apologies for this inconvenience -- optimalisation should be credited to Bikerdude, while the remaining problems are all mine. You will need TDM 2.02 to play this mission. Notes: There are multiple ways to accomplish your objectives, and even more to explore the mission - although some are less obvious than others.There are no lockpicks in this mission, as Foxley can't use them; also, he is no master thief when it comes to stealth - be careful! Brute force, if necessary, is legitimate.There is no poll to rate the mission because I do not believe in them. Your comments are welcome in writing, however!You can find my concept art in the PK4 file. These images obviously contain heavy spoilers.This mission series predates, and is thus unrelated to the Penny Dreadful TV series.Special thanks: to my testers; Airship Ballet, AluminumHaste, Lux, Obsttorte, Premier, Skacky and Xarg for detailed and thorough feedback, which has been invaluable. Springheel for the custom GUI and loading screen, RJFerret for help with objectives, Goldchocobo & Co. for voice acting, Grayman for gib generation and, last but not least, the Canon Texture Project for various canonical textures. 1.1 update note: This mission has been released in an updated version. This update contains a number of small bugfixes, it adds slightly more equipment on lower difficulties, and cuts down on file size by removing duplicate assets which have been incorporated into the TDM core since the mission's release (43 instead of 102 MB!). Thanks are due to my testers, Bikerdude, lowenz, nbohr1more and Oldjim.

You can get this FM on our downloads page: http://www.thedarkmo...ondetails/?id=1 I guess it's a rather easy missions for players used to Thief Fan Missions, but feel free to post here in case you're stuck. Angua and me, we are humbled that this small map made it out of the door, accompanying the TDM 1.00 release. edit: poll added November 11th, 2011

The Tears of St. Lucia was our second "alpha demo", released in 2008. It has been updated and is now playable using TDM 1.00. If you have played the map before, you won't find anything new--entities have been updated (like candles) but the map and gameplay have not been altered. Those of you who didn't get a chance to play it before are in for a treat, however. http://www.mindplaces.com/darkmod/fmdetails.php?id=15

The newest fan mission titled "Down and out on Newford Road" doesn't want to install because I get an error message saying, "Cannot install this mission, as it requires The Dark Mod v.210. Well, there's a problem, version 210 doesn't even exist yet, so how can I update my game if that version hasn't been released yet?!?!? The current version is still version 2.09. I need help with this issue please, thank you!

My timing was off on this one. Work on beta-testing is much more needed elsewhere as there are several missions for the contest alone. So I apologize.

A Special Delivery is a very small warehouse & factory Dark Mod FM. In this fun little mission you have to find a valuable diamond. Enjoy! DOWNLOAD HERE. (2MB)

I'd like a place to start collecting links to off-site reviews and mission walkthroughs. People can also post full reviews of missions here.

Story: "Sir Barrington, as he likes to be known, enjoys a prestigious reputation of having lavish yet intimate dinner parties. I've heard the tales about what goes on in the noble's dining room, but I believed none of them 'till now. Orbach, a local shop-keep who makes special deliveries to the people of 'high stature' heard Sir Henry Hughbellow raving about Sir Barrington's special 'Elixir', It cures your ails and gives you vigor... By the Hammer, it extends your very life! he exclaimed. Orbach begged Sir Henry for a small sample, and after one sip he was sure that the potion was nothing more than mineral water and spirit. He asked Sir Henry if other folks were as fond of the elixir as he was, and he found out that folks are paying handsomely for these small vials on a weekly basis. Some lords pay for exclusive treatments and bathe in the tonic. Lord Barrington even brings in an occult expert every month, where supposedly the power of the elixir is renewed by the full moon. Never one to pass up the opportunity for a good scam, Orbach has decided to take a cut of this 'elixir' business. He has made an elixir of his own, but needs to convince Sir Henry that it's really the same as the 'magical' tonic that Lord Barrington has been selling. And that's where I come in. Its rumered that Sir Barrington's prized possession is a painting of the revolutionary inventor 'Guillermo de Sohase' the day after he won the Battle of Billinsdune. If I can steal this painting, Orbach can use it to 'prove' that he also got the elixir from Sir Barrington. Once Sir Henry tells all his friends that Orbach's stolen elixir is healing his heart, soothing his pains, and igniting his libido, they'll be lining up at his shop. Its time to go."

Hi all I know we had this topic a few years back but I don't want to necro the thread and I have a specific demand: I am searching for FMs in which the guards have lots of randomized patrol paths. With randomized I mean that they have several branches which they randomly pick each time they come by. I do not mean a randomization that only happens once during mission start (replay ability). Background : I understand the idea that the player should be able to memorize patrol paths in a certain way and be able to sneak past them. However this bores me often a lot and takes away the excitement. I want to be surprised and don't want to feel safe in rooms where I learned that no guard will come by. I would be happy if you guys could tell me your mission names in which such randomized paths are used heavily. I especially like mansion maps but that's not a must. Thank you for every hint!

As a retiree, I naturally have a lot of time and this is why I like, among others, to see some videos on YouTube. among them a channel of a standup comedian and some music videos. But it is not little my surprise when I read one of the videos, which is blocked by age restrictions and to see it, I have to prove my age using my ID or credit card. I understand that some content is not suitable for minors, but these on YouTube are very scarce and apparently they apply here a filter at Flanders level, as is the custom in the US. Although it is correct that European regulations require age restrictions for certain content, it is not acceptable to have to publish sensitive data on the Internet, which contradicts all common sense of having to do so for the reason of watching a video on YT, at a company that has already been hacked in the past, leaking hundreds of thousands of sensitive user data., In any case, I'm not even going to pass on my bank details or my personal details to Google, even for the price that I can't see some videos on YT. I am not the only one who is offended by Google's new attempt to obtain personal data from users, protests are accumulating on the network by many users and with articles that rightly question these practices. https://insiderpaper.com/youtube-age-verification-credit-card-id/ https://www.reddit.com/r/privacy/comments/jm37a1/youtube_will_start_to_demand_id_credit_cards/ https://tekdeeps.com/you-will-not-watch-youtube-videos-if-you-do-not-show-your-id-card-or-credit-card-neews/ https://www.quora.com/Are-you-finding-it-intrusive-for-YouTube-to-now-ask-you-to-verify-your-age-by-credit-card-or-ID https://linustechtips.com/topic/1349521-youtube-now-requires-eu-eea-uk-swiss-viewers-to-physically-verify-age-before-they-can-watch-age-restricted-videos/ etc. Meanwhile childrens using the ID card of their parents and some authors of YTvideos are virtually death, nobody see their vids.
