Idea: Electricity Arrows

Apart that you have the possibility to make noise everytime, not only with a kick in a door, you will do this in TDM only in situations when making noise isn't a problem and not precisely in a house full of guards.

Ussing the micro to include external noise is only possible in a complete quiet room, not when sounds the phone or the doorbell in the moment when you are behind a big spider or elite guard. It is not very healthy and desirable.

Kicking in doors works as well with the game thematically as a submachine bow and quips about balls of steel. Well hey, if we're taking inspiration from Postal, how about the ability to unzip your pants and piss on torches to put them out too? If you want to make Corbin Nukem in your own FM, that's fine because there's some great joke FMs out there for Thief, but it's not something that works well with every other FM. If breaking down doors is something that does get put into the game, it should be a breakable flag such as how Thief uses, but no kicking, that's just silly. (Even then, nobody breaks down doors in Thief anyway.)

At least the mic idea was founded on the focus of sound in the game, it just was just redundant and not relevant to 90% of the players.

As for the ice, T3 actually had similar with oil slicks. I'm unsure if TDM can handle bringing a character back up after they've been ragdolled, but that would be a cool trap (though, redundant with the flash bomb so it's not really necessary). T3 tends to get overlooked (for good reason) but it did have some nice stuff.

Ok, this thread lends itself a bit to brainstorming. I don't think anyone intends to turn TDM into Postal 2 and make guardians vomit with pissed donuts.
As I said before, I would be satisfied with expanding the possibilities of the tools and taking better advantage of the objects in the environment, which in some missions already exists in specific situations. This is, a Garret a little more McGyver, this if it would fit well with the character.

      Finally got my PC back from the shop after my SSD got corrupted a week ago and damaged my motherboard. Scary stuff, but thank goodness it happened right after two months of FM development instead of wiping all my work before I could release it. New SSD, repaired Motherboard and BIOS, and we're ready to start working on my second FM with some added version control in the cloud just to be safe!

      I've updated the articles for your FMs and your author category at the wiki. Your newer nickname (DeTeEff) now comes first, and the one in parentheses is your older nickname (Fieldmedic). Just to avoid confusing people who played your FMs years ago and remember your older nickname. I've added a wiki article for your latest FM, Who Watches the Watcher?, as part of my current updating efforts. Unless I overlooked something, you have five different FMs so far.

      I've finally managed to log in to The Dark Mod Wiki. I'm back in the saddle and before the holidays start in full, I'll be adding a few new FM articles and doing other updates. Written in Stone is already done.

      You cannot receive PMs. Could you please be so kind and check your mailbox if it is full (or maybe you switched off the function)?
