Sorry for the topic bumping, but I cannot play this mission, the readme tells me it is impossible for me :
"5. I've tested this mission in New Dark's FM selector, can't vouch for Darkloader so use at own risk."
I only know Darkloader as "FM launcher", and couldn't find any New dark FM selector on google. Also, I'm running the 1.18 version of Thief 2 (the famous 1.19 patch seem to don't install, I mean, after installation the whle game stills a 1.18). I don't know anything about these "new versions" of Thief 2.
Can anyone help me ? This is a great looking mission for sure and I'd love to try it... :cool:

But, as has been said - toooooo short!
(and I need a LOT more practice with the crossbow, very different aim mechanics!)
The nasties were sure ugly, but they need tweaking, a bit sharper sense and faster! Was way too easy to take em out!
Oh, and I took a close up look at Anna through scouting orb - oy! she is, um,well, to put it in recent diplo terms "thick"! Looks like a Russian female powerlifter!

Then again, maybe she's planning on just giving that 'friend' a 'friendly' HARD Russian bearhug!) :eek: :laff:
Scariest moment:
Approaching the ramp down to Thaddeus and all of a sudden that incredible music ramps up the suspense and I'm going "Oh sh*t, I don't think I really want to go down there!" :nono: ;) :thumb:
PLEASE DO A SEQUEL!You can have Anna go back up into ship and get new orders: return to the ruins, some survivors have just been in contact and she needs to get them out!
(a la her dialog about her being the only hope for any survivors! The nasties on the surface means there is access to the lower ruins somewhere!)
:idea: Maybe she can even get a combat bot and maybe even a spider bot to assist!?
The most awesomest thing would be if you could make a full campaign! I think Anna could give Zaya a run for her money!
I would like to co-operate with Independent Thief for a sequel, but that´s entirely up to him to decide.

It's fine to bump fan mission threads.

The readme tells you that the mission was not
tested with DarkLoader, not that it is
impossible to play it with DarkLoader. Since former versions of the mission (for Thief v1.18) were playable with DarkLoader (I did that myself), it is likely that this mission can be played with DarkLoader as well,
if you have NewDark installed. However, if you cannot install NewDark (regardless whether it's v1.19, v1.20 or v1.21), then the
new version of the mission might not work with your
Thief 2 installation. Older versions do, but they seem to have disappeared from many download sites. These older versions, meant to be used with Thief 2 v1.18, were named "4th planet v4" and "4th planet v5", but they're still
older than the new "V2", which is meant for NewDark (Thief 2 v1.19 and newer). Looks like the Darklurker site still has one of them; click (
http://www.darklurker.org/T2_DarkOrg.html) here and look for "4thplanetv5.zip".
Just for clarification: New Dark's "FM Selector" is built into NewDark, so if you cannot install NewDark, then you do not have this "FM Selector" installed either. This "FM Selector" is
not available as a separate download.

Brilliant capture of the whole Alien ambience on the planet's surface and in the ruins.
I spent a long time--and restarted later just to do this--doing nothing but wandering around the ship gawking. The NewDark engine really shows what it is capable of graphically here.
Sister Anna is a very engaging character. Give her some interesting capabilities and you have a winner. I think a series with her elaborating this theme would go over well. Lots of work, of course.
