Not a particularly big announcement, but after having recently updated (
https://wiki.thedarkmod.com/index.php?title=Category:Official_FMs) TDM mission info over at the TDM wiki, I also took a look at The Dark Wiki and noticed the FM info there is often very outdated. So I've decided to do some gradual updating this March, maybe even April.
For a whole blog entry on my efforts, (
https://thief.fandom.com/wiki/User_blog:MojSvetJeVidiek/Thief:_Deadly_Shadows_and_The_Dark_Mod_fan_mission_updates) see here.
I am focusing on TDM, due to familiarity and pre-prepared overviews (essentially porting them from the other wiki, with slight modifications), and on TDS, because it doesn't have that many FMs and it's fairly easy to cover them in a shorter timespan.
I have already by and large updated almost everything on all the existing TDS missions, updating links, walkthroughs, and most importantly, systematically uploading and archiving images. (I am using clearing's screenshot archive at (
https://darkfate.org/view/simple/files/fan-missions/thief3/) DarkFate.org - this is attributed/sourced with a relevant link under every uploaded FM image - and some other sites I've used for reference are the (
https://thiefmissions.com/) ThiefMissions.com and (
https://www.thiefguild.com/) Thief Guild.com FM databases.)
The TDM stuff will undergo the same process, but so far, I've only covered a few of the newer TDM missions. I intend to gradually update everything, in the same manner as I did with the TDS missions. Granted, it'll take a while, as TDM already has three times as many missions in absolute numbers.
The (
https://thief.fandom.com/wiki/Category:FM_Thief_DS) TDS FM category and (
https://thief.fandom.com/wiki/Category:FM_The_Dark_Mod) TDM FM category on the wiki now have their own subcategories for FM images (largelly screenshots) each. I have also added the existing (and gradually updated) (
https://thief.fandom.com/wiki/FM:TDS_List) TDS and (
https://thief.fandom.com/wiki/FM:TDM_List) TDM mission lists under these categories. Both the lists and the image subcategories are available at the top of each general FM category, for the quickest navigation possible. The TDS and TDM FMs listed in the categories are listed alphabetically, done automatically by the wiki.
As for T1 and T2 FM, I might occassionally expand or update info on the latter, but there's just too many of these missions for me to cover on my lonesome. If anyone wants to help with that effort in the future, feel free to do so.
There's still a lot of work to be done and a lot of ground to cover, but I'm confident I'll make good progress on this effort this spring.
