It's a new T1 mission by Doaal, who many of you will remember as the author of Mystery Man. The new one is a prequel to it.

I've been betatesting this off and on for almost 2 years and it's EXCELLENT! smithpd, one of the other betatesters, called it "Bonehoard squared" and he's not wrong. It's got everything you could want in an undead, creepy mission and it's just plain fun to play!

Read everything carefully as there are some fairly difficult puzzles to work out and you'll need to remember the clues.

Congratulations, Doaal, on the release of this fine piece of work. :thumb:

Can anyone tell me, can Thief Gold FMs be played using Thief 1 or Thief 2? If not is there any good reason why missions are designed for Thief Gold rather than the other versions?

Yes you can play Thief gold missions with Thief 1 using a patch. You can find it here.

and here (http://thief-thecircle.com/download.asp?fid=589)

Thief gold just has a few more objects and textures and other stuff and I think this patch adds them to T 1 so we can play all T1 and T1 Gold Fan Missions. Thief gold also has 2 or three extra missions not found in Thief 1.

There is a more in depth explanation here.

And a big THANKYOU to Doaal for making this mission. It is a welcome Saturday morning surprise. I will just have to cover all my windows so I can play it in the dark. The only way to go taffin.

This will prove to be one of the all-time greats! If you haven't got T1/G I urge you to get it so you can play this mission.

Odd! I can't download it! It say's quota exceeded, yet i've downloaded zero FM's for the past few days! :confused: (I don't think this has happened to me before)

Quota status: Exceeded

Ahh, I guess I got up too late! I wanted to announce the release myself ;)

As Nightwalker mentioned, there are quite a few puzzles so keep your eyes open. The mission should be ghostable (some betatesters tried it that way), but I'm not 100% sure since that's not my style of play. There are even a few optional puzzles in the mission.

Thanks to all the betatesters who've been very patient with me, and also to Jason for hosting it. Also, thanks to all the taffers at TTLG who make this community so much fun :)

Have fun! :D

Wait, is this mission for Thief 1 or Thief Gold? The info with the mission suggests the former.

doaal on 4/2/2006 at 17:10

It should just be a T1 mission, I don't remember using anything from TG in it.

The Mike on 4/2/2006 at 17:20

I can't wait to start playing this one! The first one had some of the most devious puzzles of all time...one of its puzzles is the reason I now chop down every banner I see in every FM.
