13?? yahoooo!

[sNeaksieGarrett]

Maybe this is a stupid question, but is it really a good idea to have zip files with a comma in them?

[Nameless Voice]

Why not? They work fine?


Also, congratulations to all the authors!
I'm already working my way through the missions.

[flying_hope]

maybe linux user can have some problems with it

a mirror, all FMs in one File: 178MB

[ghost_in_the_shell]

13. Nice round number
I choose first to play at random and you know what? I finished it in exactly 13 minutes

As someone mentioned before: long live Thief!

[Nameless Voice]

I haven't played that one yet, but I recommend starting a new thread for each mission, otherwise this one will get messy fast.

Nameless Voice is right. I thought that maybe it will be done by organizers of the contest. As the authors should stay anonymous... EDIT: or maybe someone moderating the forum could create them for us.

[dreamer]

Downloading now. Thanks to all the authors for all their hard work.

Brethren, your Southquarter link for Flowers for a Friend is linking back to Falling Down.

I am currently uploading all files to Darklurker.com as well. I'll be making a news post with all the links.

[Shadak]

Maybe this is a stupid question, but is it really a good idea to have zip files with a comma in them?

been doing it for many years at the Keep, never heard of any problems with it

And yes, I think there should be a new thread started for each mission for questions and spoilers and such

[Nameless Voice]

I think they're usually just created by whoever happens to be the first person to have questions or comments about any given mission.

I wish I had time to play them all, but it's too late tonight...

[donderosa]

a weekend getaway is pretty damn nice. gonna finish it tomorrow.

[elkston]

I think I know who the author of Weekend Getaway is.

-Mission file size fairly large so there are likely custom resources.

-Main character is Basso instead of Garret?


C'mon, its gotta be

[Nightwalker]

It's possible there may not be questions on every mission so how about the first person who has one on a particular mission just starts a new thread? Now I'm off to download!

[SneakyJack]

A couple quick impressions - Both missions I've played so far are top notch productions - the layouts are fantastic and I can tell that I'm in for a treat with the rest of the missions in this contest.

Weekend Getaway is a great looking mission - but I personally hate when you are asked to ghost an undead mission without a sword to defend yourself should you be found - the undead cannot be dealt with as easily as humans can, obviously. To all you FM makers out there - please stop taking away the sword in undead missions! That being said, though it was not my cup o' tea, it is a beautiful looking mission.

Ive also completed Weak Links - and it is a great little mission with excellent gameplay and basically what thief is all about. Well done to both of the authors of those two FMs. Off to play the rest!

Edit: Also gave "Vampire Skull" a run through - seems like it was built by a first time FM maker perhaps - and if so, its a solid first effort. A fun little mission.

[Shadak]

Yes that would be the best idea - if you are stuck, first look for a thread about the mission, and then if there isn't one go ahead and start one.

And thanks for that nice links list pavlovscat, very good to have four mirrors all together like that!
