Another classic old mission that I finally got around to playing. What impressed me about it was the way it gradually got darker as it went on. Starts off as a simple "rob all the buildings in the neighbourhood" job and ends up with everyone turning out to be a murderous asshole. The finale was SUPER creepy.

 

Just a few little bugs I found while playing:

* There is a headless dead guy in a green smock on top of Harlan's house.

* The globe in Damuddy's house drops through the floor if I frob it.

Nice.   Thanks for the great comments, guys.     Yeah, holy crap that must have been some feat to literally *drag* him that whole way!     The objective is supposed to fail if he dies, but objecti

great effort with this fm, given the size of the town area the 50 minute play time was quite reasonable, 1206 easily found loot so I will need to re run the mission to find the maximum amount.

Yes, the headless guy floating over the top of the house, but seems for me more like a scary gag as a glitch.

I just finished it right now with all the loot and quite a few guys with headaches tomorrow. Nice little mission.

The green smocked one is the female pagan. She was one of the bodies in the warehouse and one of those rough draft characters that I don't think made it into the release version. Evidently one of the last few updates (or possibly nbohr's EAX fix, which seems odd, but it's in the cards) changed or deleted some property that made her fall through the floor onto that roof and lose her head, which, if you know how AI models work is the kind of thing you might expect. There's already a good number of comments on it and anyone can see it's pretty immersion breaking. So I suppose it calls for an updated version to fix it.

What do you see when you turn out the light? I can't tell you but I know that it's mine.

Well, it isn't so important, you can interpret it as a metaforic prelude to the warehouse scenery. It don't rest quality to the mission which I like.

I know commercial games with worse glitches than this.

Some people have been asking about my FM, so I wanted them to have access to a version without the glitch mentioned above (i.e., the pagan woman model that clipped so it looks like she's laying in the sky above Harlan's house). This and it's time that that glitch was fixed anyway.

So I made a really quick fix. Basically I opened the .map file and just deleted the pagan woman reference directly. I renamed the file to end with "np" (for "no pagan"). Is it possible for someone to replace the previous version with this one on the download mirrors so it's available in the in-game downloader, etc.? Cheers. (I tested it to confirm the fix.) And this post can also be a general announcement that the glitch was fixed.

Here's the link to the new file: https://drive.google.com/file/d/1-tgN1gyUoYd8qACZ61bd7qHcZAxpAwCN/view?usp=sharing

      Well, this is just sad...I was not able to play any Thief or TDM whatsoever, why? Too busy the past 2 months, this month I'm not as busy BUT it's also very heaty in my place.
      I can't play Thief when it's not at least 15c or lower, the game demands to be played when it's cold for...Well, may sound stupid but I'll just say it, for that "immersion".
      It's kinda like playing Quake during Summer, which unless it's the Summer Jam mod, I don't think it's as fun.

      The preliminary working titles for the missions in my now-in-development Partners in Crime series: 
      - Partners in Crime 1: A Mere Trinket
      - Partners in Crime 2: Beacon Burglary
      - Partners in Crime 3: In the Bleak Midwinter
      - Partners in Crime 4 (5 ?): Fishy Dealings
      - Partners in Crime 5 (4 ?): A Thief in the Night

      No title stealing, please.  In return, I promise to finish these. I do stress the preliminary part. Beyond the broad strokes storyline, plot, objectives, briefings and the (currently built) layouts of these FMs, I haven't fully decided about every single detail yet, including the exact order of the missions (4 and 5 might switch places, with the story adjusted accordingly). I want the overall plot to be plotted out a bit in advance and not suffer too much from inserting prequels later. I also prefer to let my FM building fill out part of the details naturally.

      Currently working on the second FM, and once I do enough work on the current prototype, I'll work on the first one, until I get that one released. Then complete the second one, get that one ready for release (hopefully) a few months later, and so on. I want most of the early missions to be fairly small and confined, and get a bit bigger as I grow more confident in my FM making skills.

      Though there is an overarching storyline to this series, the missions themselves are mostly episodic in nature. They factor into the character development of the two main characters I'll have in the series, but it's the kind of continuity where the mission's own plot and story wouldn't depend on it.
