...F key? h'mmmm....

 

Oh dear, if you've been playing TDM without using "lean forward" then your life is going to become a lot smoother now. :D

 

In my opinion it's one of the most useful actions in TDM.

You can reach out of the shadows to pickpocket something off a guard's belt or to pick a lock. You can look down over the edges of beams to land arrows or throwables on the people below. You can pull rope arrows out of odd angles so you don't lose them as much. You can reach out and space yourself better for using the blackjack. You can also space yourself better and give yourselve a bit more room to block/dodge if you get caught and have to sword fight a bit.

You'll also have a much easier time getting things out of chests and drawers. That's probably the most common use of it and it's very nice for this because leaning over a chest will put your view more or less directly over the the opening so you can see and frob everything inside.

 

You might notice in my videos how much I use "lean forward".

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

I hardly think that the majority of T2 mappers would be using such techniques, so I consider it unlikely that the lack of this particular item is the cause of complaints about TDM graphics quality. Mo

      Does anyone actually use the Normalise button in the Surface inspector? Even after looking at the code I'm not quite sure what it's for.

      Turns out my 15th anniversary mission idea has already been done once or twice before! I've been beaten to the punch once again, but I suppose that's to be expected when there's over 170 FMs out there, eh? I'm not complaining though, I love learning new tricks and taking inspiration from past FMs. Best of luck on your own fan missions!

      I wanna play Doom 3, but fhDoom has much better features than dhewm3, yet fhDoom is old, outdated and probably not supported. Damn!
      Makes me think that TDM engine for Doom 3 itself would actually be perfect.

      Maybe a bit of advice ? In the FM series I'm preparing, the two main characters have the given names Toby and Agnes (it's the protagonist and deuteragonist, respectively), I've been toying with the idea of giving them family names as well, since many of the FM series have named protagonists who have surnames. Toby's from a family who were usually farriers, though he eventually wound up working as a cobbler (this serves as a daylight "front" for his night time thieving). Would it make sense if the man's popularly accepted family name was Farrier ? It's an existing, though less common English surname, and it directly refers to the profession practiced by his relatives. Your suggestions ?

      Looks like the "Reverse April Fools" releases were too well hidden. Darkfate still hasn't acknowledge all the new releases. Did you play any of the new April Fools missions?
