Other than making the mission authors feel bad, what would this accomplish?

 

He doesn't seem to care based of my few but unpleasant interactions with him.

The only limits your imagination has are the ones you set.

Nothing. In fact it would likely be worse than nothing because people whose missions get listed may decide to give up designing entirely.

Out of curiousity, why do you dislike Sotha's missions so much?

Knock it off, Shadowhide. Your kind of trolling got old months ago, and you're nothing but annoying these days, and you're doing it on purpose. If your only source of pleasure is stirring up shit in internet forums, then please do it somewhere else. It's not ok to see each and every thread turn into a Shadowhide-Trolled-Here landmark just for kicks. Got me?

I can't remember playing "Too Late", but what was it, that made you dislike "Thieves" and "Knighton Manor" so much? Maybe Thieves was kind of short. But Knighton Manor was quiet challenging.

 

There were some missions that I enjoyed not that much, yes. But I think it's okay to express this in the specific fan mission thread (voting stars or post there) instead of just giving names of missions and say they're not good. You can do that (you already did :D ) but you might want to say why you dislike them so much. ;)

This is obviously a useless thread.

 

SH, I started blocking your comments months ago when it became clear you had nothing constructive to offer on any forum topic. I hate seeing people here wasting their time responding to your nonsense. (Including me, this one time.)

 

 

Doesn't the forum admin have the ability to delete threads like this?

i'd agree with you if i were actual troll

i had reason to create such thread

Around year ago i was recommending TDM to IRL friend of mine.He is not the big fan of Thief series,but he agreed to get Doom3 and play TDM.

On the next day he said me something like that : "what the hell i were playing ?"

I was confused and asked him what he disliked,than he said : "it even looks worse than T2 fms,small and boring".He were playing Knighton Manor.Than i personally took screenshots from a good missions and beg him to give TDM another try saying how beautiful is it

here the screenshots i showed him :

He said that maybe he will play TDM again,but months passed and it didn't happen.He was frustrated because of BAD TDM FAN MISSION.

You guys may like it,but you don't know how pathetic is it if you compare it to T2

Thats why I created this thread

 

You may call me a troll or ignore my posts or rise up my warn status or whatever,but here is my point.Its not trolling

The missions feel a bit tiny in comparison with many other Thief2 FMs, yeah.

 

1) But it consumes much more time to build a working and detailed FM here with all the eyecandy and stuff (I see this by myself as I'm working in the beginners contest). Thief2 Missions were faster to build since the engine restricts the level of detail.

 

2) There are many many many tiny little crappy Thief 2 FMs out there too and no one warns you before you download them, too! :D

 

3) The list we're working on in the "pick your 5 favourites" is giving players a little guide line. So in this case, your friend would most likely download one of these "voted" missions and then his experience would have maybe be better :)

 

I'm not saying that you're trolling right now, you've got point, yes. But I believe degenerating some FMs is not necessary because of 1) 2) and 3) (see above)

I think you have a valid point.

 

Hands down to the TDM team, but i do think that it still feels very lacking.

I dont think the Fms are to blame, but the fact that its made out of D3.

 

Its really hard for me to feel immersed into the missions, when i play i don't feel like, i am a thief stealing from a rich nobles mansion.

I feel like a dude sitting at my computer, pressing buttons.

 

Perhaps the fact, that i have been mapping more than i have been playing fms, ruin gameplay for me a bit.

 

ONT

 

I will not contribute to this thread, i really don't want anyone to feel self concious.

That might be the most useless comment of this year in a field that already has some stiff competition.

Maybe a future ModDB award for 2012? :D

Well, I can see two problems here, mostly related to you more than the mod.

 

First off, he's not a fan of the series so he's going to be a hard sell.

 

Second off, you had him go through all the trouble to install the mod to play a game type he's probably not even a fan of, yet didn't say 'play this one first'? That's like telling someone who loves thief to instal TDM and play Doom3 first (even though you know they most likely won't like Doom3)

 

So instead of saying, sorry man maybe you should have tried such and such mission, it's a really good one you instead come here and make a 'worst FM's thread' because a friend who isn't even a fan of thief games didn't like one fan mission? Maybe he doesn't like the genre. Maybe he's just a graphics whore and even a good (but ugly) mission wouldn't be fun. It's not Crysis dude, it's a slow action contemplative game. People who really like Crysis probably will never like TDM and vice versa. Sure Crysis is beautiful but I have no interest in it myself, I'd rather play T1 with it's aweful graphics.

LOL.

 

@SH, take on-board what Greebo stated a few posts above. If you cant control yourself then only poist when you have DR editing or a game play related question's

 

And following on from BC's post above, I think you should point your friend at the Top missions thread insteadbtw you still really need to work on your english, sometimes what your trying to say just comes out wrong.

      I moved from Manjaro Linux (rolling release) to Linux Mint (LTS). One of the reasons was that I found the updates a bit too often and long. But now on Mint I get updates every day, although they're usually small updates.

      I'd like to track my level design progress a bit more often now, so I'm using the feed in my profile here.
      I've been working intensively on Springheel's YouTube course over the past few days. I'm currently up to lesson 8. There is so much information that needs to be processed and practiced. 
      I have started to create my own house. As I don't have the imagination to create a good floor plan, I grabbed a floor plan generator from Watabou and experimented with it. I chose a floor plan that I will modify slightly, but at least I now have an initial idea. 
      I used two guards as a measuring tape: The rooms are two guards high. It turned out that I can simply double the number of boxes in DarkRadiant in grid size 8 that are drawn in the floor plan. 
      I practiced the simplest things on the floor plan first. Drawing walls, cutting walls, inserting doors, cutting out frames, creating VisPortals, furnishing rooms.
      I have had my first success in creating a book. Creating a book was easier than I thought. I have a few ideas with books. The level I'm creating will be more or less a chill level, just for me, where I'll try out a few things. I don't have an idea for my own mission yet. I want to start small first.
      For the cellar, I wanted to have a second entrance, which should be on the outside. I'm fascinated by these basement doors from the USA, I think they're called Bilco basement doors. They are very unusual in Germany, but this type of access is sometimes used for deliveries to restaurants etc., where barrels can be rolled or lifted into the cellar. 
      I used two Hatch Doors, but they got completely disoriented after turning. I have since got them reasonably tamed. It's not perfect, but it's acceptable. 
      In the cellar today I experimented with a trap door that leads to a shaft system. The rooms aren't practically finished yet, but I want to continue working on the floor plan for now. I'll be starting on the upper floor very soon.

      Ich möchte nun mal öfters ein bisschen meinen Werdegang beim Leveldesign tracken, dazu nutze ich hier den Feed in meinem Profil.
      Ich habe mich in den vergangenen Tagen intensiv mit dem Youtube-Kurs von Springheel beschäftigt. Aktuell bin ich bis zu Lektion 8 gekommen. Das sind so viele Informationen, die erstmal verarbeitet werden wollen und trainiert werden wollen. 

      Ich habe mich daran gemacht, ein eigenes Haus zu erstellen. Da mir die Fantasie fehlt, einen guten Raumplan zu erstellen, habe ich mir einen Grundrissgenerator von Watabou geschnappt und damit experimentiert. Ich habe mich für einen Grundriss entschieden, den ich noch leicht abwandeln werde, aber zumindest habe ich nun eine erste Idee. 

      Als Maßband habe ich zwei Wächter genommen: Die Räume sind zwei Wächter hoch. Es hat sich herausgestellt, dass ich in DarkRadiant in Gittergröße 8 einfach die doppelte Anzahl an Kästchen übernehmen kann, die im Grundriss eingezeichnet sind. 

      Ich habe bei dem Grundriss erstmal die einfachsten Sachen geübt. Wände ziehen, Wände zerschneiden, Türen einsetzen, Zargen herausschneiden, VisPortals erstellen, Räume einrichten.

      Ich habe erste Erfolge mit einem Buch gehabt. Das Erstellen eines Buchs ging leichter als gedacht. Ich habe ein paar Ideen mit Bücher. Das Level, das ich gerade erstelle, wird mehr oder weniger ein Chill-Level, einfach nur für mich, bei dem ich ein paar Sachen ausprobieren werde. Ich habe noch keine Idee für eine eigene Mission. Ich möchte erst einmal klein anfangen.

      Beim Keller wollte ich gerne einen zweiten Zugang haben, der sich außen befinden soll. Mich faszinieren diese Kellertüren aus den USA, Bilco basement doors heißen die, glaube ich. Diese sind in Deutschland sehr unüblich, diese Art von Zugängen gibt es aber manchmal zur Anlieferung bei Restaurants etc., wo Fässer dann in den Keller gerollt oder gehoben werden können. 
      Ich habe zwei Hatch Doors verwendet, die allerdings nach dem Drehen vollkommen aus dem Ruder liefen. Inzwischen habe ich sie einigermaßen gebändigt bekommen. Es ist nicht perfekt, aber annehmbar. 
      Im Keller habe ich heute mit einer Falltür experimentiert, die zu einem Schachtsystem führt. Die Räume sind noch quasi nicht eingerichtet, aber ich möchte erstmal am Grundriss weiterarbeiten. In Kürze fange ich das Obergeschoss an.

      On a lighter note, thanks to my cat-like reflexes, my superior puzzle skills and my perfect memory, I was able to beat the remastered version of "Tomb Raider: The Last Revelation" in a new superhuman record time of 23 h : 35 m, worship me!
