Crackers and Cracking as a new thief skill and type

Hi Everyone!,

 

I'm no modder but I had this idea when I thought about the story line progression of the thief world.

 

We all know the inventors guild creates code locked devices. It therefore makes sense that a rouge section of the inventors guild or an interrogated inventor or stolen coding systems is how a CRACKER and CRACKING would take place.

 

This could introduce a new kind of thief character the CRACKER

 

CRACKERS cause problems for inventors, builders, banks, organisations and threaten to force out the traditional thief by forcing an upskilling of the entire thief world. Consider the thieves guild maybe at war with the crackers guild who consider themselves contemporaries as oppose to the uneducated, haphazard traditional thieves

 

CRACKING requires the thief finds coding systems and if he can locate the master code he can unlock an entire companies resources.

 

CODED LOCKS spreading across the city supported by the Watch, the Builders, corporations as a response to the proliferation of thieves. Now affordable are propping up everywhere even on common furniture causing issues across the thieving world.

 

Are the Code Inventors villains?

-- Maybe it is possible for the code makers to be forcibly making criminal organisation monopolies by providing codes only to those who can pay enough to the right nobles, invention masters etc.

 

Lots of ideas here for new story lines and game play. I hope it adds to something interesting for you guys.

Well, have at it my friend. You can explore your own idea by making a mission, its not as hard as it seems. Do a bit of research on the theme (there are a few missions that focuses on code breaking scenarios), watch some tutorial video series and off you go. ;)

      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      I wanna play Doom 3, but fhDoom has much better features than dhewm3, yet fhDoom is old, outdated and probably not supported.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?
