I accidentally found a bug that's easy to miss but likely also to fix: Select an arrow, in my case I was using the water arrow. Hold down the fire button to charge your shot, wait until it's fully charged but before getting tired and having to abort it. Press esc to enter the main menu without letting go of the left mouse button, then press esc again to resume. If you look and move around, the position of the hand and bow will no longer update until you let go to fire, you can see your first person hands floating in mid-air from a distance till you release the mouse button which will fire and update the hands again.

Looks like this has been a bug since at least 2011.

1.  Instead of Hide Lightgem I would say Show Lightgem and default it to yes.

 

2.  Currently the last changed setting stays highlighted. I would set it to only highlight when hovered.

 

3. Instead of having both Enabled/Disabled and Yes/No, maybe choose one and stick to that in the whole settings section?

  • Hold-Frob Interact                 Short delay
  • Open doors on unlock           Disabled
  • Auto-search bodies                Enabled
  • Pickup messages                    Enabled
  • Higlight held objects               Enabled
  • Lightgem                                Enabled
  • Bow: Attached aimer               Disabled
  • Blacjack helper                        Enabled
  • Frob helper                             Fade in
  • Head Bob                               1
  • Mantle roll                             1.0

Possibly make the setting text color red Disabled / green Enabled ?

 

I think the term Mantle roll makes no sense. It's not like you're rolling while mantling.

Interesting :o Was sure it must have been something that either broke recently or was never discovered until now. I actually discovered it as I changed some of my default keys, then forgot what the key was to cancel my shot so I pressed escape hoping that would put the arrow down, then I returned from the main menu and noticed this occurs.

      The FAQ wiki is almost a proper FAQ now. Probably need to spin-off a bunch of the "remedies" for playing older TDM versions into their own article.

      Was checking out old translation packs and decided to fire up TDM 1.07. Rightful Property with sub-20 FPS areas yay! ( same areas run at 180FPS with cranked eye candy on 2.12 )

      i am so euphoric to see new FMs keep coming out and I am keen to try it out in my leisure time, then suddenly my PC is spouting a couple of S.M.A.R.T errors...
      tbf i cannot afford myself to miss my network emulator image file&progress, important ebooks, hyper-v checkpoint & hyper-v export and the precious thief & TDM gamesaves. Don't fall yourself into & lay your hands on crappy SSD

      Does anyone actually use the Normalise button in the Surface inspector? Even after looking at the code I'm not quite sure what it's for.

      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!
