Hi all - keeping safe I hope!
I just tried downloading Skajven's 'Where the Unkown Lurks' from Taffer's Paradise but Chrome gives me a potential malware warning on my PC :mad:
Can anyone confirm that the file is ok or should I just get from another site?
Thanks

... what a shame we have nothing to do but play Thief ....;););)

Good thing you mentioned that issue, I haven't played that FM yet. I'll remember to exclude the FM to not scan the file from my antivirus software so it doesn't mistakenly think it's a virus.

You will be fine with Fierce Competition as it has no spooky bits at all and has a pretty cozy presentation.

Thanks! we enjoyed the mission. Real masterpiece.

Same for me, though I think I might even have been a little younger.

@Kin Certainly some discretion is a good idea; you might want to go so far as to preview the missions before you involve your son. I can only speak from personal experience, but the worst thing seeing Thief at a young age did to me was make me end up here. That was only from seeing the base games though, and I know a lot of fan missions are more intense. Still, kids are usually a better judge of what's suitable for them than most people tend to think. If they don't like what they're seeing or think it's too intense, they'll just leave.

Very good idea to preview some missions on youtube walkthrough channels for example.
You are spot on to the fact that kids will decide if it is too intense for them on their own. Noticed that myself with my kid.
Thanks for the advice!

I'm in southquarter.com and there's the whole list of Contest FMs for TMA20AC. However some of the files are not known *.zip files. It says *.z7 on those files.

Do I just change the extension to Zip? :confused: I don't know if that will work. I don't Think they are zipped. I remember changing game files when people saved the game file names with spaces, but that was easy to fix...

Any ideas?

It will work and it's better as the compression is more efficient. Just use FMsel or Angeloader.

Yeah as long as you arent using some stupid crap like Darkloader they will load just fine
