Well then, do what you gotta do and anybody who gets impatient is despicable. :erg:

Sorry to hear that Sunshine. I hope he makes a full recovery.

Eh, scratch that, I've got it working again... :mad:
But until you upload a finished and guaranteed version of DarkHook, well, actually... Nevermind.
Sorry about that relative of yours. I've lost a fair share of mine. Old age, cancer... it's a b***, but it's life.
What the fuck are you on? It's his god damned grandfather. You can reinstall the fucking game, you can't reinstall life. I can't even believe you would have the indecency to post what you did in the last few posts. Bitching and whining about your game being broken.
Fucking cold man. Just cold. Grow up.
@Sunbeam
I'm truly sorry to hear about your grandfather. Despite what some people think, just because a person is 'an old person' it doesn't make their life any less valuable. Some people just see an older man or woman, but they don't see a human being. It sickens me when people are that inconsiderate.
I just lost my Dad to cancer 2 1/2 years ago...held his hand as he took his very last breath. Also lost my father in law back in March of this year to Cardiac Arrest. My thoughts are with you.

This is the internet, coldness is to be expected, just like Hitler.

Hmph, thank you. I could give a damn less whether the game really works, and I gave him my condolences, thank you... :mad:
I could care less about whether a game works, though I'll admit my choice of words are less than heartfelt. My condolences Sunbeam. You, horizon, on the other hand, have made my b***list... Thank you. No, really, thank you... :(
I'm tired of complaining on child's play, though I've certainly felt worse... my losses are more impacting than those moments in a late humans deteriorating health. Some I've lost too young. I'm certain you'll realize that it's natural to give condolences to some, and have deep thoughts for another. I don't care about what I've earned so far, but fortunately it keeps me running... In this age of fools, I feel a bit queasy, a bit alone...
... Thanks for reminding me Horizon, you certainly are naive enough to cause quarrels. Me, I'll give you a warning: I may be immature in ways, but I'll always kick back if trifled with. It's just my way of saying "Up yours!" but I'm certain you deserve a better much kinder response than that. I apologize for your losses, and in response I just want your silence... I'm rather hurt.
@Rav: Coldness and internet go hand in hand like a duck and his quack... It's really how you phrase yourself that matters, and you might say I'm a poor promoter of this.

Guys you've got to try to understand Albert, making light of serious matters is his coping mechanism. What you take as coldness is just him shrugging things off, it hardly makes him the cruel monster you suggest.
Albert, I know you could easily take a shot at me for saying that, but I'm on your side on this one, so don't.

I am back guys. Am at work now, had a rough week-end, my grandpa's fate wasn't the one we expected to be. He couldn't have gotten better, that was a fact, the only thing he could do was to eat up pills till his liver couldn't take it anymore. Damn cancer! Stealing our dearest away from us :( I can now say with hand on my heart that I've grown a second mind, seen and done things these past few days I've not done/encountered in my whole life, but heh, everyone's going to be doing exactly what I did sooner or later. It's not a wish, god forbid, it's a simple statement - as hypocrite as we can be, not wanting to think about it, cuz it's bad for the ears, you gotta face it.. it will eventually happen..
Getting back on track, thanks everyone for the support and understanding. These are tough times, especially for his closest, and we're supposed to become stronger from experiences like these.
On another note, Albert, the DLL is fully functional. I meant it as a beta, because I've never tested stability on a longer play. I intend to implement all gadgets first then take Thief 2 for a spin from beginning to end, play it in full. DLL doesn't: write registry, tamper or alter files, set paths or edit .cfg files. It's a simple library that is loaded in Thief 2's memory and calls certain functions (which are both in my exe and yours at same locations) based on pushed parameters. That's about it..
The only issues I could think of is the operating system you guys use, combined with anti-viruses which block INJECTION of files.
Will post more as I progress this week..

I apologize for losing my temper, I over reacted. The recent losses of my father in law and my wife's uncle are still very fresh, having only happened a few months ago. Your comments read to me as being dismissive, and that you were more concerned about your broken game.
You say I'm naive? Unfortunately, I am anything but naive, nor was I seeking to cause a quarrel. I'm only 34, but I've lost friends of all ages. From 17 to 90. The first being my great grandmother, when I was 7. I was in the room with her when she passed away. I learned what life was at an early age. They were all a valuable part of my life, and I do not look upon the loss of someone who was 90 any easier than I did my friends who were killed in car crashes at 17.
I was simply angered by what appeared to be someone complaining about their non functioning game, when another person was obviously in a very dark, painful place. I don't know your pains, you don't know mine, nor do either of us know Sunbeam's. The kindest, and most human approach in any case such as this, is to extend our kindest sympathies...regardless of whether we are capable of feeling the full impact in our own lives. Empathy towards others should not be over looked.
In the end, it is not for us to say our losses are more impacting than another persons, we can't know for certain how loss affects another human being. We know our own pain, but only our own. I'm sorry to hear of your losses, but they do not make Sunbeam's loss any less or more important than yours, or mine for that matter. A loss is a loss, whether they are young or old. It's not the age of the person, it is the part they have played in our lives.
Once again, I am truly sorry for your losses and pain, but perhaps it's worth considering to choose your words more kindly...as I will also work harder to choose mine. There are many of us who have been affected by sickness and loss. As my original reaction demonstrates, it can take a toll on us. It's something we're never alone in.

I didn't even suggest he was a cruel monster, I merely said his attitude was cold...given the circumstances. On any old random message board, I'm sure distance is the norm, but this is TTLG...we're a community...not just any board. I disagree with the assertion that because of the anonymity of the internet, we should expect coldness. That's the general mindset, but doesn't have to be the reality. Some of us have been part of the Thief community since the first game was released. That makes the people here on this board a little more than just a bunch of random words appearing on my screen.
In any case, thread derailment over. Back to development.
