Here is the rundown from Daveh himself, admin of TTLG, he posted this on Eidos. Lot of people hang around Eidos Thief forum, even more so now that the forum is down. In the meantime, it doesn't look good, but, they will be back.

 

Here is the thread to check out.

I still play Thief, so, the FM forums, Thief Gen, are the civilized places, and the editors guild. Don't diss the whole community because of comm chat, thats where the BS is, it can be brutal at times. Depends on your cup of tea, pick your battles. Sometimes its fun, and amusing too. I go in there, I pick and choose what I post to, and stay out of the BS. I know better.

 

~m2 hosts the server here, but, TTLG needs more overall. ~m2 probably couldn't handle the amount TTLG really needs. Its also The circle as well, not just TTLG.

Sounds like there are plans afoot to expand its remit too. We shall see.

 

I think it inevitable that when TDM is released there will be a TDM sub-forum at TTLG. It looks like all Thief missions will be hosted by TTLG eventually too. TDM missions will be included, I'm sure.

Yes, these forums will definitely stay the center of TDM development and discussions. TTLG is very Thief-centered, and people like it that way, which is ok obviously.

 

TDM has grown enough to live on its own and, to be frank, I don't like the thought of TDM being "incorporated" into the plethora of game forums on TTLG. One or two sub-forums would not be enough to cover TDM (we've got more than 20 forums around here - what's the point in abandoning them?). Maintaining two TDM forums? Thanks, I will stay here, unless everybody else is leaving as well. :)

I always thought the ttlg forums were pretty civilized, aside from geting flamed when u use teh h4x0r speech, but I don't like that anyway, so I'm fine with that. Better stick to proper, readable english! :)

I do hardly look into ttlg these days though. Since TDM, I lost interest in the TDS-deadend, so I mostly stayed around here.

TTLG admins will definitely want to host all the TDM files there. I don't know what the plans are for file hosting here but this big upgrade looks to be in preparation for a small overhaul. They'll host all the TTLG sub-sites and as many Thief related files (as well as SS2, Deus Ex and others) in one place.

 

I'm certainly not suggesting that these forums close down. Not a chance. This should still be the home of TDM but TTLG forums are more populous and to be fair to them they will funnel a lot of seekers to TDM. I think that despite the lukewarm reception it gets from the admins there TDM will play a massive role in TTLG popularity when it comes out, and no one is going to be able to say meh to it, not even those who are cold to it now.

 

The reason I mention it is there will be DL ramifications since they plan on hosting all the TDM files they can there.

 

That's not bad, is it?

Well there we have it ladies and gents. It's a testament to TTLG's popularity. They've raised over $4000 for the new hosting deal in a matter of days.

 

This is very important for TDM imo, because it shows how active and dedicated the community is and that means a whole lot of Thief fans who are going to eat TDM up like candy!!

      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!

      I wanna play Doom 3, but fhDoom has much better features than dhewm3, yet fhDoom is old, outdated and probably not supported. Damn!
      Makes me think that TDM engine for Doom 3 itself would actually be perfect.

      Maybe a bit of advice ? In the FM series I'm preparing, the two main characters have the given names Toby and Agnes (it's the protagonist and deuteragonist, respectively), I've been toying with the idea of giving them family names as well, since many of the FM series have named protagonists who have surnames. Toby's from a family who were usually farriers, though he eventually wound up working as a cobbler (this serves as a daylight "front" for his night time thieving). Would it make sense if the man's popularly accepted family name was Farrier ? It's an existing, though less common English surname, and it directly refers to the profession practiced by his relatives. Your suggestions ?

      Looks like the "Reverse April Fools" releases were too well hidden. Darkfate still hasn't acknowledge all the new releases. Did you play any of the new April Fools missions?
