I didn't know which forum to pick for this topic so I'm sorry if it's the wrong one.

I have few things that bothered me in Thief before. I don't know if you guys fixed it or you're going to fix it so I'll list it anyways:

 

1) Opening and closing the door makes noise. In Thief series AI don't "hear" the noise. You should fix it making AI alert or just make them quickcheck the door and behind them (saying some things meanwhile). Unarmed peasants should become frightened of sudden noise. I think it would be much more realistic and interesting this way.

 

2) There were some missions in past Thief when you had to run a machine or something similar. The AI didn't respond to the noise as I can remember. They should get alert. Also with the noise all around the AI "heard" you walking/running/jumping. (This would be appropriate if someone would make that kind of mission)

 

3) AI don't respond to dropping equipment noise too.

 

I'm sorry if this was discussed before otherwise it'd be nice if someone else share such minor mistakes. ^_^

Yes, we've discussed this and intend on making AI notice doors opening. I don't think it's been done yet though.

 

The AI didn't respond to the noise as I can remember. They should get alert.

 

In TDM it would be up to the mapper to designate the machine noise as suspicious.

 

Also with the noise all around the AI "heard" you walking/running/jumping.

 

We have intended to have noise 'mask' player noise for some time, but unfortunately haven't had time to do it. Advanced features like that will have to wait until after the mod is released.

 

AI don't respond to dropping equipment noise too.

 

Yes, AI will react to things being dropped if they are close enough to hear them.

      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!

      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 ?
