Reply With QuoteIt needs to be a fairly significant part to qualify as a prison mission. It's quite a long time since I played it but perhaps it would be better suited to Escape. I'll check how many categories it's already listed in - the maximum is 5 or 6 I think.
"Deadly Triangle" includes a (somewhat short) part where Garrett has to escape from a prison, yet it is not among the list of "prison" missions. Is that okay?

I was the guy who updated the MbyT thread but there was no way i could play all 1300 FMs so i pulled information from walkthroughs, videos, mission threads, screenshots as well playing a one hell of a lot of missions. Regrettably this method was bound to lead to some errors and exclusions, but the end result was a huge improvement on the previous MbyT thread that only included approx 1/3 of FMs.
Also we also tried to restrict the number of entries for each mission to around 4/5 entries for the bigger missions and 2/3 for the smaller ones, otherwise it would have just grown to a disproportional size.

In that case, omitting the prison escape part is understandable. Although the player might need some time to escape the prison, it's not a very important part of the main story which mainly revolves around something else.
Hey! Why is the Word Contest absent from the list?!
There are three missions to share with the world from it! ^^
They are formatted and in my wip thread (as are 6 other missions) so if one of the moderators could paste them them in i would would be grateful

can you please add a catagorie for missions where you have to track/trail a person as i like those missions alot
Do you know how many missions come under that category, downwinder?
@FireMage - apologies for the long delay in adding in the new missions. I really will try and get it done this week.
i would think less then 20 have it where you have to follow someone,i think trying to find them all would be the hard part,the list would be small,
calandra had it
the one where you follow lt mosley
remakes with the pagan follow
and i am sure there are a few more
i wonder if you could do a mass email to all authors asking them,to save time from having to figure it out alone
cause i am sure you would agree that was a big part of theif experience,and a catagorie for it seems fit
downwinder
nickie, kamyk and I spent 6 weeks discussing up to 70 different categories under consideration. The final 28 categories were chosen on the back of how many missions fitted into those 70 categories and i'm afraid 'Trace the Courier' type missions were just not common enough to justify entry into the updated MbyT

Not feasible at all. I'd have to go through the member list and try and remember who's an author and who isn't or check with darkfate or somewhere. Then I'd have to see whether they want to receive emails or not and then I'd have to manually send an email to each person.Originally Posted by downwinder
I have neither the time nor the inclination to figure anything out alone. If you come up with 10 or more missions, then I might consider including that category. I can't think why you didn't say this during the updating period when we asked for suggestions.
My apologies to anyone waiting to see their mission added - I'm unable to do it now till next week.
I'll do it, but where is your wip thread?
I access it through the forum link, it's listed in private discussion thread
OK, I found it. Is it just the ones in the first post?
correct..... post #1 under New missions/Amendments
OK, I've made the following additions:
- Added the Word Challenge Contest missions to Contests
- Added Cataclysmic Revelations to Multi-missions
- Added Heartcliff Islands to Multi-missions / Mystery / Puzzle / Prison / Undead / Water
- Added Working Late to Small / City & Mansion / Mystery
- Added Castle Michelle to Small / Castle
- Added The Artifact Returns to Mansion / Ruins
- Added Of Thieves and Rubies to City / Mansion / Miscellaneous building
Wonder where I've put my hero cards.
Thank you. Winter draws on, as they say, so I'm sure I'll be back to having spare time again soon.
Can I just say a huge THANK YOU to everyone who helped compile and maintain this list?
THANK YOU!!!
I recently lost everything on my hard drive, including about 2GB of fan missions that I have backed up nowhere, so this list is like my Bible.
I love you all for doing it.
Thanks for adding my missionI just have a small correction to make: HI consists of only one mission (although it could probably have benefited from being split into two, but that's a whole other story).
Oops .....that was my error
Sorry....but tanner or nickie could you ? ....thanks
No it wasn't, it was me with my head in the clouds somewhere.
It might be helpful with such a long list of mission categories to sub-categorize the mission listing.
Something like the following:
Location
Bank Jobs
Bar/Inn/Tavern/Hotel
City
Mansion
Mission Type
AI Battle/Battle Arena/Combat
Assassination
Mystery/Detective
Puzzle
(maybe duplicate Bank Jobs)
Opponent
Beasts
City Watch
Undead
Miscellaneous
Daylight*
Water*
Small
*-would these fit under location

That looks to be a good idea but off the top of my head I would think there would also be a lot of work involved depending on how it was implemented - I do so love linking things to things.
The main problem is that as each category is increased, the thread sometimes goes a little bananas and some items disappear and reappear in strange places. And the whole upgraded thread has had to be redone a couple of times already to make things appear in the right place and/or the database has to be updated. You'd think there were poltergeists lurking sometimes.
I think it's worth looking at though so I will try and give it some thought. It could turn out to be something quite simple to do.
It's very simple to do. We should discuss it.
Links?
I think you misunderstand. The mission listing would just have a second header layer. Something like this:
Mission listings:
Enemies
Undead (hyperlink)
Actually, here is a draft for a reorganized list. I've added comments in bold italics. Also, might it be useful to place all of the OMs in categories as well; as examples.
Mission listings:
Location: - talk about a big sublist
Bank Jobs - I'm not sure if this should be a location or mission style; a bank job is generally going to be a standard theft mission like many missions are, so having it be a mission style doesn't seem like it would be very useful for the FM browser.
Bar/Inn/Tavern/Hotel
Castle/Fortress
Cathedral
Cave/Natural Tunnels
Cemetery/Graveyard
Church
City
City and Mansion - Are there really so many missions that include significant city sections beyond a mansion? I wouldn't consider Lord Bafford's Manor to fit this category; although I guess Blackmail might.
Dock/Harbour/Port/Ship
Factory/Facility
Houses/Cottages/Apartments
Jail/Prison - which doesn't mean you are escaping from one, so this is definitely a location
Mansion/Estate
Mines/Man-made Tunnel
Miscellaneous Buildings
Monastery/Priory/Seminary
Mountains
Museum
Outdoor/Forest
Ruins
Sewer
Swamp
Temples
Thieves Highway/Rooftop
Tombs/Catacombs/Crypts
Tower
Town
Village
Warehouse
Opponents: - I think most all non-english speakers know what this means... if not, it should be pretty obvious from the context.
Beasts - The listing should be consistent, so should we go with plural or singular?
City Watch
Hammerite
Keepers
Mages
Mechanist
Pagan
Pirate
Thieves/Thieves Guild
Undead/Zombies/Ghosts/Haunts/Skeletons
Mission Goals: - Missions that feature major objectives or segments that aren't steal X object or Y amount of loot.
Assassination
Escape
Mystery/Detective
Rescue
Special Features: - This sublist is focused on special elements that are part of or central to a mission. Also there might be a few special categories that could fit here.
AI Battle/Battle Arena/Combat - Combat is not really a goal for most of these missions, though on occasion it could be central aspect for the mission
Daylight - and yet no nighttime category (j/k)
Horror
Lost Civilizations - I'm not sure if this category is more about the location or aesthetics/puzzles/goals.
Mazes -seems more of a feature than a goal
Relic/Artifact/Talisman
Sci-Fi/Future/Modern/Other Worlds/Space -this one is so broad of a category, it doesn't really fit into the location sublist
Water
Seasonal/Holiday/Weather
