Made Daraan's texture pack, (books, plaster & misc), TDM ready, I would welcome testing -

 

- Linked removed for now, verifying CC compliance of plaster textures, because in typical ttlg style, its not clear.

First of all wow so much impressive stuff recently in the thread. I can't compete at all. What I've got is definitely rough, and I am well aware that certain textures are muddy at the moment.

Second, this isn't quite abandoned yet, but don't get your hopes up. I'm usually very tired from work and if my stuff gets finished at all it will be a miracle. Yes, I am disregarding the advice to make your first stuff simple. Yes, I am being a hardhead.

Gamma and brightness adjusted to make things more visible in the screenshots. 

It's a prison break-in mission with a twist. No interior to the prison yet, just exterior walls and a safehouse far in the countryside. Not exactly "Victorian" design. I'm going for a feeling that the institution is more modern than most stuff we have seen in TDM.

The "death antennas" surrounding the walls are just cobbled together from previous contributor's work. An upside down water tank on a steel pole, with some high voltage transmitter looking stuff on the sides.

Cool! The exterior looks like something out of an RTS

To take one and give one: 

Do they have geiger counters in Bridgeport?

Wouldn't those be rather low-res for TDM? Also, what is the licensing on those textures?

Skacky is the one who created the textures. He took the photos himself. He released this pack to the Thief community a few months ago and I reached out directly to him and asked if we could add this to TDM; he said yes. 

Biker and I have been working on these off and on for a little while and they look pretty good so far. I'll share a few screenshots soon

[Amadeus]

Here are some screenshots of Skacky's textures that Biker and I have been trying to make TDM-ready. We could actually use some testers to if people would like to try them out:

When it's released, please emphasize "16/17 years in the making!" in the announcement (whatever it ends up being).

That's one way to put it. Another, more accurate way is "HOLY SHIT THAT LOOKS FANTASTIC!"

[datiswous]

Oh I see it has an airship..

yes, a very large scale model. It was originally made by Dram, as was the bones of this mission/campaign. 

[New Horizon]

I remember spending some nights testing Dram's early builds of this mission.  Can't believe it has been that many years.  Wow.  Looking great.

Wonderful.

And, now we are left drooling over it here, right?

[Bikerdude]

And for my fellow authors out there, some DR shots -

I see your power plant and raise you my own! 

Relatively safe to your body.

Additionally, part of the vent system,

And finally, a a pair of complete mystery images that I leave to speculation.
