Sweet! A tad brightly lit for my taste, but it's just totally sweet to play TDS fan missions. I can see I'm finally going to have to break down and get broadband now, if these things are going to weigh in at 50+ megs a crack.

Thanks Karl, and while you may want the broadband anyway for these, 50Mb is hopefully a bit big for the average, since the level was in two parts, and I included extra stuff that in general shouldn't be needed anymore...
still likely to come in around 30-40 on average though.

Nice! I finally got a chance to sit down and play this through. Love your use of SM's and the detail level. Some of them (like the forge room) had me pausing and saying, "wait a second... was that in the game?"
The FM forum definitely needs to know (properly)!

What I would like to know is where is everyone elses?
thats 2 from Ziemanskye already with a total of err 2 fully playable FMs available. Admittedly everyone will be doing Komags contest 6 so I'll shut up now :cheeky: .
I agree with SneaksieDave, I think it should be announced. Mind you it won't 100% work with the current version of GL (well it works but could get save game files errors when uninstalling), however GL version 1.11 out in a few weeks time handles it just fine, although don't wait for me. :thumb:

I also think that new T3 FMs should be announced in the Thief FM forum.

This one still crashes for me, even with v4.
I can load and play Townhouse just fine.
Schism will load and I can walk around the starting map,
but when I frob the glyph it starts to load the next level but crashes?
any ideas?

Have you made the user.ini change detailed in the first post?

I didn't, but now after I added it, i get this:
can install townhouse or schism, and start them from garrettloader, they load slower,
I push the button to start the mission and again it loads slower, then blinks back to the garrettloader, and loads again from the begining by itself and I end up at the t3 main menu for a second time,
I then start the mission again, and then get the blue screen of death.
If I take the lines back out of the user.ini, I'm back to where I was before.

What spec is your PC as its sounds like you may be exceeding the memory allocations (also when you get the blue screen of death its always useful to note teh module/exe that the error occured in specified on the screen somewhere).
Just to explain this step by step from my understanding.
can install townhouse or schism, and start them from garrettloader, they load slower,
Mainly due to the expanded vertex pools and the files being called from other locations

I'm thinking its possibly a screen resolution change there.
and loads again from the begining by itself and I end up at the t3 main menu for a second time,
Not sure about this one though.
I then start the mission again, and then get the blue screen of death.
Again not sure about that, possibly a driver error, by blue screen of death I am presuming you are on win98? (2k and Xp tend to just reboot on most setups).
One thing you could try is to reduce the numbers a bit (a zero was added to the standard for each line, try halving the numbers (i.e. DynamicVertexPool0 = 31457280 becomes DynamicVertexPool0 = 15728640 , although you may need to tweak this a bit).

halving seems to have worked.
machine specs:
win xp pro
amd MP 2100
2 GB pc2100
geforce fx 5900
latest drivers from nvidia
the blue screen noted "nvidia" but i've read about the video card/drivers not aways being the problem even though it is listed on the blue screen.
I do have John Ps texture pak installed and also the editor.
I think I'll reinstall everything anyway even though it's working now.
Thanks for the help.
