Big cheers for everyone involved, both creators and players, new and old alike! This community is quite something else.
Thank you.

My GOG version of TG, which was an older version I saved on a backup disc, does not contain the cam_mod.ini file of FMsel. I guess I can just install the game from the original disc, but then there's the issue of installing the FMsel. It's really looking like I'm going to have to sit this one out and keep on playing T2 FM's, and I have a feeling it will be a long while before new ones come out. I feel like I am getting dumber, the older I get. I want to thank every one who tried to help me.

Install the GOG version afresh, and then use (http://www.ttlg.com/forums/showthread.php?t=134733) TFix to update it and install newdark, fmsel, and so on.

Downloading them now and about to play them.

It's honestly insane how there are 24 brand new Thief Gold missions to play, who ever knew that Thief 1 would actually get this many missions at once let alone in a whole year again :laff:

Hi fellow thieves,

long-time lurker and thief veteran from Germany here. Fell in love with the first game in the late 90s at the age of 8 or 9, can't exactly remember. Discovered the fan mission community some years back, and have been a ttlg visitor weekly (sometimes daily) for a long time now. Finally managed to register due to this fantastic contest!

First of all: Thanks a lot to all of you, this is one of the greatest fan communities ever, and a true testament to the ongoing force and quality of the original games (Dark Projekt and Metal Age). I've been following this contest since it started, and 24 missions is beyond belief - thanks again to all the builders, enthusiasts, testers and general supporters!! Just started with Melan's Rose Garden, because I had anticipated a Disorientation-style city mission, and rooftop action is my favorite terrain!

Just a general question here: I've followed the instructions and installed the Fix 1.26a without all the Thief 2 enhancement stuff. Should that have overwritten any enhancement textures etc. from the previous fix (1.24)? So far, the mission is working just fine, apart from a small AI problem and arrow errors, but those can occur according to the info file.

Cheers and more power to you!

Updated my scoresheet to contain "Completed" and "Notes" columns:

May I ask the reason why The Scarlet Cascabel was delayed for download but The Upward Spiral was excluded from being a contest entrant.

I assume The Scarlet Cascabel was submitted in time but you discovered an problem with the file, whereas The Upward Spiral was not submitted in time.

But I assume according to the rules the file needs to fully functional at the time of the mission releases, so did you bend the rules in any way?

Personally I don't have a problem with that, but feel that if that was the case maybe we could allow The Upward Spiral to also be counted as a contest mission. After all the Upward Spiral was released at 9.23 and The Scarlet Cascabel at 11.16.
