Well, I say get this one. I'm mostly a fan of City type missions and this puppy's a doozie. Lots of roofs, alleys and exploration - everything I want out of Thief. Shadowspawn, thanks for all your work. <IMG SRC="thumb.gif" border="0">

They said it couldn't be done, but here it is! Years in the making (would you believe 15 months). A cast of thousands (well...67 AI). Directed by Shadowspawn (an almost noticed film maker)! Nominated for several awards (Cudget has been nominated for the William Shattner over-acting award). No expense spared on special-effects (we hired "Frobby - the frob frog" to run the special effects dept. He works for flys, but has an explosive temper). :tsktsk:
All kidding aside, I've finally released my first FM. It's uploaded at The-Circle now, soon to be posted at Thief-Underground.

It's the touching story of... well, nevermind. :joke:
I've tried to encompass all I've learned about Dromed over the last year and a half. It's a city mission (big), based on the city from Assassins. At over 11 1/2 MB, I hope it's worth the download. Lot's of new stuff, although there's no real custom AI, just resizing and little tweaks.
I pushed the limits of interactive AI a little, and did everything I could to make them stable. If the AI act a little weird, email me with any problems that develop.
My beta-testers did a wonderful job finding bugs, and I'd like to thank them again. (Their names are listed in the Lorgans Web readme file).
If there are enough problems with the mission, I'll release a fix version, but I'm hoping everything holds together.
If you have the option, I'd play it under Thief Gold. It works under TDP, but I've seen more subtle problems there. (AI forget their patrols routes, conversations get scrambled, etc).
I'll be working (slowly) on a walkthrough, but as the game is DEFINITELY NOT linear, it will take some doing. Also, it should be VERY replayable, since a lot of the events, and what the AI do, is based on timing and your actions. So it's hard to make it come out the same twice. (Unless you do nearly the same things over.)
Enjoy. Email me with problems or questions, or post here to share it. (Please use the spoiler warning system.)
:D :D :D :D :D Now I can go play all the FMs I've missed while working on this!

Wow, sounds very cool indeed!

OK I am impatiently waiting for this. I admit it, I've checked the circle 4 times today already to see if it's there yet. <IMG SRC="wot.gif" border="0">

Sorry, I uploaded it this morning and haven't heard a thing from them yet. Maybe our administrators are all playing the game and don't want to share it yet.
I hope they get it up before the weekend!

Krispy,
Thanks, that would be cool. I just emailed you. What do I need to do?

I've got this set to three users at a time, I'll see how it goes and may be able to increase that. If for somereason I have to reboot, I'll post the new IP here. I will try to make this available as much as I can, if you just can't connect at all, perhaps I am offline. Enjoy ...this sounds like it's going to be a great FM!
