24 missions, starting december 1st... Its symbolic! Best Christmas calendar ever!
(Edit: Just looked at the llink and there are only 23 files though?, I think The Scarlet Cascabel by Tannar & PukeyBrunster is missing?)

This is a phenomenal achievement. It speaks to the timeless quality of the original game, the talent and passion of the community, and the tireless dedication shown by the creators and moderators of this forum. The mix of old and new blood in this contest, first-timers and grand-masters, shows that all three of these elements contribute to an active and continuing legacy. Everyone involved should be proud of their part in this legacy. Because of them, Thief shows no signs of going away any time soon!

Waking up to find 24 new Thief Gold missions!! My head can't process the information. Thank you so much to everyone involved, mission authors, admin, event moderators, and eager fans spurring the creators on.
Question: I'm removing all enhancement packs and mod features. Is it enough to just remove the mod_paths in cam_mod.ini or should I physically move/delete some files in my TG install folder? Also, should we uncheck NewMantle, or is that required for these missions (even though it wasn't part of TG)? Thanks
Edit: Also, which releases have multiple missions? Are we voting on the campaign if released as a 2 mission pack, or each individual mission?

Hey there. I have a problem with downloading The Scarlet Cascabel FM. Looks like it doesn't appear in the folder with links to the contest missions. Could somebody fix that.
Also a question. If I have Thief Gold 1.26, do I still need to update my Tfix?

If you look in (
http://www.ttlg.com/forums/showthread.php?t=149393) the thread for that FM, you will see that it is not yet available for download, but will be shortly.
Both TFix 1.26 and 1.26a install NewDark 1.26, but 1.26a includes a fix which is required for Haplo's FM (and possibly others) to work properly. If you're not sure, better to go ahead and install 1.26a.

Congratulations to all involved! I don't know many communities that could have this kind of spirit even 20 years down the road. Here's to the next 20, and thanks for the FMs. :cool:

The Scarlet Cascabel is now available.

Awesome. And holy crap, that's a ridiculous amount of new Thief to get through.
I've cross posted this to a few other forums to spread the word. It'd be an excellent thing for a Thief newcomer to start with!
