Thief Guild - FM directory portal updates **FM hosting project by TG has started**

Thank you, Marzec, for this important update. Here is my contribution:

(https://www.thiefguild.com/fanmissions/?collection=1&table=t) The Dark Project Atmospheric Classics

This is a list of "must play" early FMs released between 1999 and 2002. These missions exemplify typical dark, grim, and medieval style of The Dark Project. Not all of these old fan creations are perfect in terms of design or gameplay, but I have found them to be atmospheric and definitely worth trying out.

Awesome. I agree with most of the entries :) (The rest of them I didn't played yet ;) ) I'm happy to see such type of a list as the list with ID = 1 ;)

I would have a suggestion for improvement. Would it be possible that the search box appears not only on the start page, but also on all other pages? It's a bit annoying that I have to switch to the start page every time to search. :-)

I second that. The search bar on all pages would be an improvement.

Marzec on 11/7/2021 at 10:15

Yes... as a matter of fact I've done this already but on another branch of the code. In other words, there is some bigger website remodel/reorganization that already has this and this feature will be introduced alongside with it, when I finish it.

I could think of introducing it now already, but you must know that scaling on the search bar and menu entries on different devices is quite an effort. Since I changed the actual menu entries in an upcoming update, I would need to design a responsive (device size-aware) search bar in accordance to current entries, and I think this would be unnecessary work, since I want to introduce said update as soon as possible anyway.

(Ugh, I hope this makes at least sense to you what I am writing ;) )

It does make sense. Take the time you need for the updates. The site is already great the way it is. Further features are a bonus.

A good excuse to go and play TDS, while the TDS contest is "in progress" ;)

Thank you to everyone who motivated me to finish this - the OMs were needed long time ago.

Big thanks to Aldarith for contribution to TDP+TG pages content and mission covers!

Thanks to Ehcmier and Trefoilknot for reviewing.

Hi Taffers...

There were other threads where I shared updates, but I decided to not spam forums anymore, and will post my updates in a single original thread instead :)

(https://thief.fandom.com/wiki/Thief:_Deadly_Shadows) Thief: Deadly Shadows, a great game by Ion Storm, was released on 25 May 2004, which is 20 years ago.

To celebrate this anniversary, we have just deployed some website updates:

1. Better navigation menu - Our navigation menu consisted of several unused areas. "Games" menu was totally redundant. All Thief Guild users-related pages are now contained inside "The Guild" menu. This menu leads to content created by website users, so "Work in Progress Projects" section was removed from this menu and is available in other areas.

BONUS: Quick shortcuts are now available on the front page:

Most Popular FMs, Best FMs, Original Missions, ... etc.

Right under your fingertips.

New "The Guild" menu section was previously named "Community".

2. You all are the Community! - The "Community" menu link now leads totally elsewhere!

"(https://www.thiefguild.com/community/) Community" is now a true link portal page, that leads to all important Thief and related places on the Internet!

You all are the Thief fanbase community. By the occasion of TDS anniversary, I wanted to express my true love to all the people on different websites and networks out there. That includes both retired community activists, and active creators or portals. All of them are important and should be easily accessible to others! I tried to place all notable links that I am aware of, or remember. If I forgot about someone of you - I'm sorry! Just leave me a private message and I will add it!

3. Better search box - Inside at last! (Garrett in mission 1 of The Dark Project)

The search box is now inside the navigation bar - reachable from every page on the portal!

4. Last but not least - an easter egg is hidden on the website - did you manage find it? :)

Hi everyone,

In case you missed it, last couple of days I discussed with a few Discordians, an idea of FM hosting on ThiefGuild.com

It was also slightly mentioned on TTLG somewhere, too.

Thanks to an (https://ko-fi.com/i/IV7V412V6QJ) amazing donation support, we are ready and we are now working on it!

(Btw. 3d object models hosting idea is considered for the future, as well.)

I'll keep you updated here in case of future updates.

Cheers,
Konrad

Is there another way to donate? I hate ko-fi. I link my PP and it never uses it, always ask for a card. I don't want another account. Can I directly donate? Is there a plan to have a patreon? Thanks for the site, a wonderful resource!!
