What mission? Help!


Summer

Recommended Posts

Can you guys help me find a mission? I can't remember if it's TDM or a Thief FM, but I could swear it's the former. The mission area is composed of a curved section of road with a cart and sentry posts (that's where the mission starts) and a mansion where a murder happened, I think. I can't remember if there was a supernatural element... Any help would be appreciated! :)

Checked out both of those missions. It's neither one, sorry to say.

But I've not even played Blackgrove Manor, so at least I'll get to play a new mission this evening :)

I'll keep looking. I wonder if it's a T2 FM after all... Sucks to have poor memory!

Thanks so much, guys :)

Can it be 'Down by the Riverside'? After disembarking from the ship, there's a curved road, cart, sentry posts, and a mansion where many things have happened over the years, and there is also a supernatural element to it.

Nope. Just checked. Not this one either. But looks cool tho. Can't remember if I've played this. Now I'm gonna :D

In the mission I'm looking for, the starting area I remember is a paved city street. You start in front of a closed wooden gate. The street curves ahead to the right. A wall is one the left, with nothing behind it. Two sentry stations are between two ornate wrought iron gates on the right, behind which is the courtyard of a manor, two-storied I think. The main story takes place there. I vaguely recall a murder and possibly something supernatural... Hmm... Well, I'll keep looking!

Thanks everyone for taking the time to help out! :)

Daaamn, I know I've seen this mission too. But like you I cannot for the life of me remember if it's TDM or Thief.

Anything else that can help jog our memories? Very old mission maybe or anything about the style and setting?

Your description sounds familiar to me as well. The one I'm thinking of has a narrow and twisty street that had a broken down cart and a light post near the start. There was a well guarded courtyard of stone in front and a balcony you could rope arrow up to as well as a set of vertical doors leading to the cellar. Sound familiar? Do I know what it's called? Haven't the foggiest... 🤣

It's weird. I can't remember anything about the house/mansion itself. Just the street out front :D Broken down cart, light posts... Yeah, that sounds about right. The sentry post had a window overlooking the street, and to get to the gate(s) you had to either hug the back wall of the street or crawl under the window to avoid detection. Can't remember if the windows could open... Hmm...

Good to know other people sort of recognize this mission too! I was starting to think I'd imagined the whole thing, like a fever dream mixing several missions :D

I don't remember any part of that mission taking place outside the Manor grounds.

I remember all T2 mission really well because it's my favorite game in the series. And no, not this one either, but thanks for the suggestion :)

Yeah I don't remember much about the inside either, but I do remember being able to access the cellar from the courtyard. It does sound like we're thinking of the same mission, and I'm sure it's TDM and not Thief. I've looked over the mission list twice now and nothing is coming to mind 🤔

What about TD3: Heart of Lone Salvation? The latest descriptions you and Bienie have given about the outside streets, courtyard and cellar sound a lot like it. 🤔

Nailed it! That's the one I was thinking of at least. Not sure why it didn't occur to me that's the one, as it's one of my favorite old school missions.

Yeah, I've gone through the mission list a couple of times too now, and nothing is jogging my memory. Man, I'll have to start each and every one :D Well, more playing yummies!

That's going to take a while! but it's definitely an enjoyable task :) So it wasn't TD3: The Heart of Lone Salvation you were thinking of?

Missed that post! Well, I checked--and no, not that one. It didn't have any fog. Everything was perfectly visible. But man, it's been a while since I've played that one. Thickest fog in any TDM mission, I think. Nice :)

Wow, seems like a lot of missions have a broken cart in the starting area. Almost makes me feel dumb for putting one at the start in my next mission 🤣 Oh well, maybe it can just be a TDM meme.

Also Lords and Legacy, same opening. broken cart, city streets to the right, fire lamps. Maybe?

Checked this. Not this one. This starts on city streets. The mission I'm thinking of is maybe in a rural area or some such. There's just the small curve of paved road and the mansion on the right side. Thanks for the suggestion! :)

      I like the new frob highlight but it would nice if it was less "flickery" while moving over objects (especially barred metal doors).

      Well then, it's been about a week since I released my first FM and I must say that I was very pleasantly surprised by its reception. I had expected half as much interest in my short little FM as I received and even less when it came to positive feedback, but I am glad that the aspects of my mission that I put the most heart into were often the most appreciated. It was also delightful to read plenty of honest criticism and helpful feedback, as I've already been given plenty of useful pointers on improving my brushwork, level design, and gameplay difficulty.
      I've gotten back into the groove of chipping away at my reading and game list, as well as the endless FM catalogue here, but I may very well try my hand at the 15th anniversary contest should it materialize. That is assuming my eyes are ready for a few more months of Dark Radiant's bright interface while burning the midnight oil, of course!
