Talbot 1?

[Summer]

Melan, if Return to the City is Talbot 2 and Fiasco at Fauchard Street is Talbot 3, what is Talbot 1? It wasn't mentioned at http://www.thedarkmod.com/missions/.

 

I'm trying to play series in proper order. Thomas Porter, William Steele, and Vengeance for a Thief, for example, are a great series! Keep up the good work, fellas

All of my missions except Unbidden Guest (TMA) take place in a common setting and involve the same protagonist, although under different aliases - Talbot, Messer Johannes, Philby and others. None of them require previous knowledge of previous FMs, but there are common elements and a degree of continuity. The missions, in current order, are:

1. Prowler of the Dark (TDP/Gold) (S): liberate a skull of paganic enchantment from an abandoned church, which is kept sealed and guarded by the Builders.
   
2. Return to the City (The Dark Mod) (M): plunder the other side of the Builder complex to steal a pack of explosives. Patrols have been heightened because of the recent break-in. (This mission connects to the previous along the North/South axis - too bad I didn't have the time to let you revisit some old areas)
   
3. Fiasco at Fauchard Street (The Dark Mod) (M): steal a collection of opals from the house of a wealthy usurer.
   
4. Bad Debts (TMA) (XL): fallen on hard times, you take a job from a diminutive snitch to steal his letter of debt from Markus, a pawnshop owner/usurer (looks like a common theme). Rooftop extravaganza.
   
5. Disorientation (TMA) (XL): following the events in the previous mission, you attract the unwanted attentions of Lady Azamlarg, district warden and judge, and have to break into her palace to deter her from further assassination attempts. More rooftops and conspiracies. (You are here!)
   

 

You'll need Thief 1 (TDP or Gold) and Thief 2 TMA to complete his whole series.

Thanks, nbohr1more I totally forgot they weren't TDM fan missions!

Yeah, it sure would be cool if someone did Melan a favor and remade the rest of his series in TDM so we'd have a unified series.

Though I'm sure he and many others would prefer that anyone with that capability make new missions instead.

 

As I recall you there is a Thief to Quake converter which in-turn can be run through a Quake to Doom 3 conversion process

so it's theoretically feasible to bring these missions over automatically though the scale would pose quite a performance challenge

(that, and re-working the geometry to match TDM standards)...

I considered the idea of redoing Prowler of the Dark in TDM; it is a relatively simple mission. Never got around to it, though. There might be some performance issues, since it uses a relatively open plan.

 

Bad Debts and Disorientation would be impossible -- too huge, and it really is a different engine.

 

Add to that that I have abandoned this series for the time being, and am focusing on Penny Dreadful.
