How many Thief FMs?

Anyone have a ballpark figure for how many Thief 2 FMs there are? Are we talking 500? 1000? I have no idea.

That's more than one a month for us. *feels behind. Wait, I provided January's release, who is next? There's less than a week left! *cracks whip.

 

Heck, beta testing took a month for my previous one (admittedly, bad time of year over the holidays). My current work is at least three times more involved and probably only two-thirds complete. That means at least another month before testing, then perhaps a couple months of testing, gah, May? That sounds depressingly far off. (Of course I'll be halfway through my next by then I suppose.)

769 T2 FMs according to Ricebug's statistics linked to in the TTLG thread you posted, which don't include the foreign FMs which might at most add another 30 or so I'd guess? And campaigns are counted as 1 hit rather than the number of FMs inside it, which is going to add possibly a few dozen too. So I'd put it in the low to mid-800s (Thiefmissions has some known lacunae in its FM lists, so its count is low.)

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

Seems right as I have over 700 from Komags DVDs that I got in 2010. Everything was in a torrent 34gb of Thief stuff. I don't know if it's still a torrent but I see that the US gov has taken down IsoHunt.com so torrents will soon be a thing of the past... like FTP is.

      Was checking out old translation packs and decided to fire up TDM 1.07. Rightful Property with sub-20 FPS areas yay! ( same areas run at 180FPS with cranked eye candy on 2.12 )

      i am so euphoric to see new FMs keep coming out and I am keen to try it out in my leisure time, then suddenly my PC is spouting a couple of S.M.A.R.T errors...
      tbf i cannot afford myself to miss my network emulator image file&progress, important ebooks, hyper-v checkpoint & hyper-v export and the precious thief & TDM gamesaves. Don't fall yourself into & lay your hands on crappy SSD

      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!
