Yes, a separate thread about clues and hints for these new fan missions in case you get stuck somewhere. The common title format should be called "The Thief TDP/Gold 20th Tafferversary fan mission help thread. Yes, this is the greatest Christmas present we made for everyone to enjoy hours and hours of taffing around, lol!!!:cheeky:

I just found a list of separate threads in the Original Post. They are available also by inspection in the Thief Fan Missions Forum, but the OP keeps them organized.

I edited my last post to remove the question.

Oh cool, thanks for letting us know. Will sure to figure out how complete the missions without struggling for hours and hours.

There is a description of the voting system for this contest in the first post, along with a link to the voting site.

Atmosphere : 1-10 points
Gameplay : 1-10 points
Story : 1-10 points

Or, you just give a mission up to 30 points in total without filling in the details for those 3 categories.

I am having a problem with FMSEL for TDP, installed using TFIX 1.26a. Three of the 24 mission zip files are not visible in the FMSEL list. I have the "Status=incomplete" and "Avail" buttons turned on.

The three problem files are:
TDP20AC_a_burrick_in_a_room.zip
TDP20AC_Catacombs-of-Knoss_v10.zip
TDP20AC_TheWhistlingOfTheGears.zip

The procedure I used:
download the 24 different files to F:\Download\
count them (24)
move the same 24 files to F:\Download\Thief 1 FMs\
count them (24)
start FMSEL and find only 21 of the 24 TDP20AC files listed.
I re-downloaded the three files, and did an "fc" compare between the new and old downloads. No differences.
I restarted my computer. No difference.

Any ideas? Could someone kindly check one of the three problem files with their copy of FMSEL?

All three of those are listed for me. All the others start with TDP20AC... and are grouped together, but those three are listed separately by their titles.

Thank you! That did it. So, to recap, the problem is that those three files have titles that are different from the ZIP file names. You can find them searching using some part of the name, like burrick, Catacombs, or Whistling. The 21 "regular" ones have TDP20AC in front of the name so they are easier to find.

Those 3 FMs have a custom fm.ini.
Try to delete it or backup and clear fmsel.ini.

So the separate threads for every mission are updated with my directory links. Here, I would like to write one more thing so that more people could read it.

@Authors, feel free to contact me if you would like to change anything in the directory how your mission is presented. Only one guy provided a FM thumbnail - I encourage all to consider sending me a "screenshot cover", too! You can contact me with that or other information on TTLG forums, or by writing to konrad <at> thiefguild.com

You can also suggest changes to the Briefing and Genre description of your FM entry in the directory directly by creating an account on Thief Guild site and clicking "Suggest Changes".

All TDP20AC entries are available at below permalink:

25 missions (one with 2 missions).

Actually there are three entries with 2 missions, for 27 total.
