[BlackThief]

Hi everybody !

Yesterday I released the german version of my first fan-mission for thief 2 'In Order of the Unknown'. The Story takes place before Thief 2 - the Mechanists don't exist yet - but the number of the followers of Karras grows.

Now I'm working at the translation of the texts of the mission - so i hope that i can release the english version in about a month (when eveything works )

here are some screenshots (they are a little bit more brighter than in the game mode ):

They look very nice! I especially like the fourth shot - makes me want to live there instead of just looting the place

[Sluggs]

Looking good.

The first and the last screenies are my favourites.

[Nightwalker]

Terrific! It looks great.

[Sir Lance]

Can't wait to taff around!

[flying_hope]

Where Did u realesed it?

[BlackThief]

thanks

@flying_hope i'll send you a pm

[shadows]

Could you provide us with a link to the German version of your FM please?

[BlackThief]

sorry i can't post the link here, because of the traffic - AND i think it would be better if you wait until i've done the translation - the story is very important !! i want that all players understand what the mission is about and of course it would be very hard for you to finish the mission, if you don't understand the goals and texts in the mission

i hope you all can understand my decision !

[shadows]

ok, fair enough. But i wish you hadn't told us you had released your FM, until you got the english version done.

[BlackThief]

probably your're right
actually i just wanted to show you some screenshots....but I can tell you I'm working hard on the translation, soon you'll be able to play the mission

[Gloria Creep]

Hi BlackThief, do you need any more help with the translation ?

Ich bin kein Deutscher natürlich, aber kann's mal versuchen!

[BlackThief]

... it's been more than 2 years since I released my FM (I can't believe it really), but I remember it was a good feeling. I don't play FMs very often, but I might try this one later when I have time. I'm sure that many others will play your mission though, so don't worry.

Now I really want to release something as well... You know, before Thief 3 comes out! Jeeeesus, there's not much time then!! Haha.

Anyway... Well done, hopefully you will release more missions for Thief later.

Excellent mission BlackThief!

spoiler:

I haven't yet found the sewer key, unlock the big safe and the chest in the bedroom, and find the diary. Have i missed something, because i got into the magicians library, got the book of death, is that the only surviving part of the magicians tower? except for the other room with the spells of course

[BlackThief]

thx

spoiler:

yes there' re no other rooms of the magician tower. you can find the sewer key on the way between the machine room and the main entrance - just look on the floor, it's near the right-turn of the path

[Ravenhook]

I drool with anticipation. What size is the download. Your screenshots look very professional.

[BlackThief]

the file-size is 10,3 mb

[Ravenhook]

Excellent thanks, looking forward to it.

[Sluggs]

Hehe, as i was playing this, a phantom light appeared right in front of me!

Here's the proof...



You should always put those lights that the AI carry well out of the play area so this doesn't happen.

PS. Hope you don't mind me posting this screenie.

[BlackThief]

ups, i never saw that i've to fix that in version 2 thank you

[Sluggs]

I've nearly finished this FM now. I've enjoyed it and liked stuff like

spoiler:

the magic bridge and those magic scrolls

I also noticed a few boo-boo's. There's a couple of ares that haven't any sound and i've seen a light not flush with the wall and some doors aren't flush with the frames. There's also a phantom!

spoiler:

I followed the taffer i let out his cell and he vanished right in front of me, where he stops, but he was still there, i could still hear him! (Unless it was a Guard behind the wall) Hmmm... Tried throwing my Scouting Orb over the wall but it was just too high!

Those didn't spoil the FM for me though, i still enjoyed it. It's very similar to HipBreaker's last mission, so much in fact that i thought i was playing his FM at times!

I have found evrything i need to, even the vault code, but i am lost on the Holy Artifact. I'm not sure what it is or where to find it. It may be that there was a hint in a readable but i have thrown them all out of my inventory!

the holy symbol is in the cathedral...

spoiler:

just as you enter the cathedral from the start of the game. look 180 degrees you will see two statues above the door.

look at the left one
