Fan Mission: Fiasco at Fauchard Street by Melan (2011/05/01)

Melan, thank you. This was my first ever TDM mission and it was a delight. Fantastic thiefy feel.

Ah welcome to the dark side sweetie!

[chakkman]

Oh, hi, i know you. Welcome.

Fun little mission.

 

The way in which you made it is probably the bigger story. If I had more time, I'd consider researching some DR stuff and taking a crack at making a level. I have no level design experience, but some programming and graphic design experience, so I could likely learn. Alas. Maybe if my personal and/or professional schedule magically clears up...one can hope, eh?

[Lux]

A little here, a little there... bang, you got it.

[Melan]

If you have "some programming and graphic design experience", you have much more than I had when I started making fan missions. I am far from a tech person, but managed, and that was with the much more odd Dromed.

 

You do need some time, but if you want to do it, you can do it.

[Digi]

Thanks for the encouragement. I really would need to set aside more time than I'm willing to currently, but may revisit the idea later this year. In the meantime, I'm just thrilled I found TDM and have been having fun playing through a lot of the content.

Not still available for DarkMod version 2.02?

... and finished it. What a little and wonderful gem!

1.1 note: This mission has been released in an updated version. This update contains smaller gameplay and aesthetic fixes, and cuts down on file size by removing duplicate assets which have been incorporated into the TDM core since the mission's release (14 instead of 62 MB!). Thanks are due to my betatesters for this new version, Bikerdude, lowenz, nbohr1more and Oldjim.

[Taquito]

Thanks Melan. I will replay this one asap.

Excellent mission, though I am afraid the map icon is broken. It just shows a dark, slightly transparent black spot in the inventory. There's also a typo on one of the readables in the bedroom. I forgot to screenshot it, too busy messing around.

After playing this level I feel like saying "Eat shit, Assassin's Creed, tense & slow mountain climbing is way cooler than fast and overly capable parkour", but that's probably just me.

 

I am curious if anyone else bothered to do this, but as usual I'm pretty sure the answer is no, and it really doesn't matter either way.

 

Regardless, I'm curious if there's some way to all loot this mission without the box usage.

You can get all loot without crating. I will watch the vid tonight to see what exactly you did.

The box is only saving you from a little light injury.

 

I've attempted to ghost this mission, but I wasn't patient enough at the lit archway, and I completely missed the scary jumps, particularly the last one to the suit of armour.

[Melan]

Impressive job doing the mission with a zero stealth score! Although that AI at the central arch lined up just perfectly - I personally find it very hard to slip by them unseen, let alone without an alert.

 

I see how and why you used that package. I believe you need it if you want to go for zero damage taken.

[thebigh]

Really impressive mission. Of all the TDM maps I've played this one gives me the strongest Thief Dark Project vibes I think, with the dark ambient, heavy stone architecture, and just the general vibe of the interior of Lendermann's home.

I finished with a perfect stealth score but only about $1,150, which is going to give me another reason to replay the mission some day.

Among the highlights for me were getting two pieces of loot stashed high up above the streets. I always love reasons to go exploring. There was one area with a non-functional switch that I could not get into. I'll have to uncover that secret another time.
