Of course I will host the missions; you just need to send them to me. I already host other T3 missions. I'm not adding them to the main archive until the format is decided upon and normal users can play them without technical wizardry, but that doesn't mean they don't have a place.
Submission instructions are at (

GarrettLoader should be out around monday (2 days) its going through last minute bug fixes at the moment, (mainly the readme maker and dromed editor launching - I am not supporting T3Ed in this release though as I have no idea if you can actually load up an IBT file into the editor and well edit it?).
I am sure that there will still be a few bugs left in it and there is an issue with the zip handler stabillity (although due to it crashing VB I can't find out what the error is) which will probably not be fixed until version 1.5.
However so long as you create a structured readme that GL can read properly, you should be fine (best to use the readme maker built in).
One other thing is that GL contains a built in scores system, so people will be able to upload their scores to a server. This may cause a few problems with regards to the contest voting as people will be able to see and download scores as they are posted (1 score per person per FM...at least until someone works out how to hack it :( )
The current scores for most of the released FMs can be seen (

We can't mess with ibt files. Yet. I'm sure someone will try to find a way. You need the *.unr to edit, *.gmp to play from the editor, and *.ibt to play without having the editor.

Thought as much, I will leave it disabled for the time being.

I take it nobody has an issue with the Scores/voting system in GL giving live scores back to everyone using it? (more for the contest rather than in general), I'm not to sure how this contest will be voted for anyway?
Also GarrettLoader will be release tommorrow (
http://www.potterdevelopments.org.uk/fm) here (site is not yet completed so don't grumble about it ;) ), GL is going through 1 last testing, a database clean up and a test of the install package at the moment.
Anyway GL has instructions within the Help System on how to make an FM GarrettLoader ready, just follow them and you should be ok. NOTE the FM packager is more designed for the Dark Engine based FMs however it should work on T3 FMs but has not be tested yet.

Submit your entries to thiefmissions.com (thanks to epithumia for providing this). Entries should be in either today or tomorrow.
Once the entries are in I'll start a new thread with download links and a poll to vote for your favourite.
We're all expecting some great things! :thumb:

just got to get some flavour text written, compile the ibt, install GL, and see about packing it all up.

Was anyone other than Ziemanskye planning to submit anything? I've only received his entry so far.
