The Dark Mod was featured in the latest issue of PC Gamer U.K., with the feature highlighting a few standout missions for people to try.

I put the 2.03 update on the TTLG front page. I don't know if anyone even reads the front page at TTLG anymore, but it's there nonetheless.

Got this email through the web address:

 

Dear The Dark Mod Team,

 

Having just downloaded the 2.0 Version of TDM and played through the training mission, I must say I'm greatly impressed.

Being a huge fan of the original Thief series - especially Thief 2 - I can't even begin to express the fun I had playing your mod, and that was just the training, I can't wait to try out all the other missions.

With the new Thief on it's way your Mod is a great way to remind people what used to be great about this series (while probably making them despair at the thought that Eidos is, pardon my language, shitting all over it, it seems), so thank you again for that.

What I'm getting at, actually, is that I'd like to help somehow. Being just computer-apt enough to play your mod, though, I thought I might pay you for what you gave me, a devilishly good Thief game.

So, if there is a possibility to make donations via PayPal or something like that, please inform me how to - I've clicked my way through the wiki, the FAQ and the forums, but haven't found anything.

Well, I hope you told him $10mil would be fine, and gave him the Swiss bank account # to wire it to. :ph34r:

A bank and so many thieves around here :D

Task is not so much to see what no one has yet seen but to think what nobody has yet thought about that which everybody see. - E.S.

You know what guys? I am kind of anxious to see how the next moddb awards will turn out now that TDM is standalone and has gained so much popularity.

Don't get your hopes up, the only thing that ever wins there are zombie shooters. :P

I always assumed I'd taste like boot leather.

Haha, yeah. It's a shame though... I wonder whether TDM will be ranked in the indie section or the mod section now.

 

Speaking of which, when are those?

Looking at the last starting dates, it should start in the next two weeks. Good timing! =)

Ah yeah, holy water arrows are most definitely underpowered. I agree with that, 1 or 2 at most. I also think their radius might be expanded a little, so if you hit the nearby ground the splash might get a group of them. Also the effect should be more visible, like a big puff of smoke coming off of them when they're hit.

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

It takes like 9 arrows to kill revenants, or 1 mine. Holy water is pointless in TDM. In Thief it took 2 shots at most.

 

Mines bypass armour, which gives it a bit of advantage against revenants. It only takes about two arrows to kill zombies, but revenants are supposed to be much harder to kill. Still, you can do it with way less than nine if you hit them in the head.

Okay just tested at the chest, revs take 5 arrows to kill. Most missions I've played, you only ever get like 5 water arrows anyways. I don't disagree with what you are saying, the only point I'm raising is that you are never given enough water arrows to make it worth using them on undead. Mines and firearrows take em out in 1 shot.

Hey Fen, I see you lurking down there :P, love the new video, can't wait for the next one.

 

EDIT: Okay just tried shooting them in the head with water arrows, still took 5.

EDIT 2: Takes 1 direct fire arrow to kill a Rev. But, if the arrow hits his sword, then it takes 2 or more as he's killed by splash dmg I guess. Shooting at the floor between his feet takes 3 firearrows. Man those guys had a shit ton of health lol

I always assumed I'd taste like boot leather.

What combat settings are you at? On Normal, I can take one out with 3 to the head.

I'm on Normal. It might be because I start the test map with the AI looking at me so it starts on high alert. Are you headshotting an unaware AI with the first shot?

EDIT: K I'm heading to bed for a bit, will be back up in a hour or so/

      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?
