On wikipage https://wiki.thedarkmod.com/index.php?title=Tdm_mapsequence.txt it states:

the number X defines the mission, starting with the number 1. After the mandatory colon the name of one or more map files need to be listed without extensions.

Note: while the file format supports more than one mission to be defined in each mission line, this is not fully supported yet in TDM's game code.

and in the example code:

It's possible to define more than one map filename for a mission,
in case there are loading zones in it, but usually you won't need that.

It seems it's possible to define something like this: 

Mission 1: tunnel street prison
Mission 2: lake warehouse1
Mission 3: warehouse2 ending

where tunnel, street and prison are different map files and part of the first mission in a campaign of 3 missions.

 

So since it's not fully supported, I wonder what is actually supported by tdm.

      So on a regular basis I try to start building something in Darkradiant but very quickly I loose interest and give up.
      I tend to
      create a room, position an ai in it (or first ai, then room, probably better) put a light in it Put some stuff in it test the room in tdm Now I had this new idea:
      Start of with a gigantic room. To skip the importance of sealing for the time being and to think broader than one room. Then just use ground without wall, just to visualise the structure of the level.  Then just use prefab walls and other elements (arches, etc.). Just building area's that aren't enclosed. I can always close them at a later point. Maybe this is all very logical from a mappers perspective, but tdm is the first game where I have done any kind of real mapping and I always stop at the start. It just takes too long to make something exciting.
      I want to build something at some point, because over time I accumulated lots of ideas.

      It would be nice to have a link to the forum thread of a mission in download section, rather than having to search for it manually, like on Thief Guild.

      Terribly difficult juggling map designing with work, but I'm still alive and chipping away at something very special. I'm actually making a collaboration of sorts with a friend, I make the map itself and he acts as my "Chief Scope Creep Consultant" that checks in every so often to make sure this project isn't getting out of hand. It's a good system!
