or "The adventures of Thomas: Lucy's quest"

This isn't a short mission - it takes awhile to play through - and for a first run I'd like beta testers to play without cheats (no godmode flythrough, please!), so gameplay issues are put to the fore. I'd also like this beta test to be "closed" - so I'll start a thread in the beta forum but PM links to testers, if there are any takers 😑.

I'm interested in testing this mission.  It may be a few days before I get to it - RL issues, plus I'm also testing Who Watches the Watcher.

The longer the better. What is godmode? I made all the guards deaf and blind, but that's it.

Spoiler

Open the Console > god (this makes you inmortal) I use this in  the first walkthrough in a new mission, but most I prefer to do this with 'notarget', that makes that all the AI ignore you compleetly, except your contacts and allied in the dialogs.

Where exactly is this God mode in console? I can't find it. It would kinda be cool to be immortal, but I usually just save a lot, so I can keep going anyways ;)

@Acolytesix, to open the console,in the game push Alt-Ctrl-~ (in the Spanish Keyboatd Alt-Ctrl-º). There you can enter the cheat-codes. In the Wiki you'll find more details

There are existing more, but with these i think is enough. Don't abuse

I don't wanna cheat ;)  I'll ask for hints on the forum every now and then. If I cheat in the beta then maybe the game play won't do what was intended for this FM. Just say'n... You got a link to Lucy?

I see this beta is taking some time. How big of a mission are we talking about?

It's a very large mission with 8 segments - unfortunately an engine limit seems to have been exceeded due to a high total number and density of AIs. Some possible suggestions to solve it:

- reduce AIs, optionally rebalance lighting/patrols/etc. to compensate (though difficulty may already have been on the high end due to the high AI count)

- split up the mission into a small campaign

- write a script that toggles processing of AIs

The first part of the first option probably wouldn't take too much time and effort, while the rest may understandably feel like rather large projects without first taking a break for someone who feels drained from pushing a mission to beta.

@Acolytesixgeegee has been sending download links via PM to people volunteering in the beta thread.

      Anyone here played Inscryption? At first, I was like "no, I am not going to play a stupid card game", but this game is so much more than that. It is so meta, full of 4th wall breaks, and feels so damn spooky and weird because of it. Absolutely recommended, if you can stand the visuals. I recommend not reading up too much on it, as that could easily spoil half the incredible surprises. Just know that what you see in the beginning is by far not everything.

      Tried to make a tdm advertisement commentpost at one of civvie11 youtube videos about T2. Post got marked as spam. His problem (to not discover TDM for himself),..not my problem.
      But some help of some fellow TDM yt-videocomment posters would be nice. To ask him and others, to play TDM. To get more players/creators.

      Currently Profile Information has 3 fields, these are shown in forum posts under your avatar:
      1. Gender
      2. Location
      3. Interests
      I think that it could be useful to have an extra field called "Operating system" (under location). It can be useful for tech support and to see what people use.
      Alternatively it could be a more general term, like PC system, so that you can for example state that you use an AMD gpu.
