I am very pleased to announce the release of my first FM -
A Thief's Training (for Thief Gold).
Briefing:Cutty must be feeling generous, or guilty, as he threw me a bone in lieu of any actual work. It seems Sigurd and Radbod, two of the Downwinders' best, have recently gone rogue. Word on the street is they have a new employer, unlikely a warden but definitely someone with deep pockets. Cutty tells me they were spotted last night checking into the Hoofed Liar, a dilapidated inn located in Chapelshade, a half-abandoned hamlet on the outskirts of the City.
Normally I would look down on poaching work from others, but the rent is due, and Cutty has nothing else coming my way. It's still daylight, but I will have to leave now if I have any chance of cutting Sigurd and Radbod off before they leave that inn. If I'm lucky, they might still be sleeping, which will give me a chance to figure out where they're headed.
On the bright side, at least whatever I find is mine, that is, if there is anything to find, and if I can get away with it...Beta-testers:- DirkBogan
- Jayrude
- LoudEmitter
- marbleman
- Walder
Notes:- This mission is for Thief Gold, it will not work if you load it in Thief 2.
- This mission mostly uses stock resources. It is intended to be an homage to The Dark Project. The mission should therefore be played without "upgraded" texture and object packs.
- This mission is not compatible with the Thief Enhancement Pack. Playing it with the Enhancement Pack enabled can cause numerous clipping object and missing texture errors.
- NewDark 1.27 or later is required.

A huge thanks to everyone who helped me get this released, especially my beta-testers and all those who have provided years of knowledge both here at TTLG and elsewhere.
Hope everyone enjoys!

Congratulations on the new release! I will download and play it right now! I love TDP FMs !

just what I needed today!
this one seems small, but I keep finding new places - I think I missed a couple things (the astrologist's window and something hidden in tetbert's tomb) but I'm soldiering on!
two small things to correct if you do a revision: the release date is set to March 10, 2023 (an easy fix in AngelLoader, but confusing at first) and the ladders in the sewer tend to throw me backwards if I climb to the top then mantle

Thanks for pointing out the release date error - I've updated the readme file now in the link above!

wow...thank you so much....15 mins into it and its awesome...great atmosphere...keep up the good work!

after about 90 minutes of exploration I completed the last objective and headed out - only to realize I missed half the loot! :eek:
I did find a couple bugs: the doorknob on the office of the elder doesn't move when being lockpicked, and I never got Objective Complete notifications.
both minor, still had a lot of fun exploring; really not sure how I missed so much loot on normal! I fulfilled the last will & testament, found the rowdy keeper's gambling closet, checked the high shelves in the restricted library...

Quite a lot of loot is in secrets so once you start finding more of those, your loot total will go up!
Regarding sliding door handles, this is a stock thing with sliding doors, usually they don't have handles so I probably should have removed the handles or added tweq settings. Also I think objective complete sounds are added by tfix but are not in Thief Gold by default.

There is absolutely NOTHING better after a sh**ty day in the office than a fresh Thief mission!
Thank you very much, Snake & congrats for your first release!

Nobody told me there would be a new release. My plans for the night just changed ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)
