The editor release is certainly wonderful news, and I will now be fulfilling my promise that I would only buy Thief 3 when the editor was released. Since there are clearly some people here with helpful contacts at Eidos, please consider this request from one of the rare breed of Deus Ex mappers:
Can there be any word on a DX:IW editor? Either
"The Thief editor was first because of higher demand, but a DX editor will follow after we do X, Y, and Z."
"We can't release the DX editor because of technical/legal issues X, Y, and Z."
or
"The thief editor will be the only release, but an enterprising modder could make it work with DX by doing X, Y, and Z."
:angel:

I just wanted to add my thanks to everyone who made this possible: Thank you!
I'll immediately go and buy this game now! ;)

The 3rd option would seem to be the only one even remotely plausible, as there is no "we" - Ion Storm is gone.

Like many, I did a double-take at the news of a TDS Editor. After learning that Ion Storm's doors were closed for good a couple of weeks back, I had been preparing to uninstall TDS knowing there was no chance of this wonderful series carrying on. Today, my fears have abated and my hope for a 5 golden hammers Thief DS FM has begun.
I can only guess that this decision by Eidos (to release the editor) had been decided a long time before consolidating their studios. I'm amazed that we petioners had an effect and of course our friend at Eidos, friends at IS and all the serious TTLG folk. BRAVO guild - we did it!
LONG LIVE Garrett - I'm guessing we're allowed to mod with his highness? ;-}

Merci du fond du coeur. :thumb:
I think no other comment is necessary.

Everyone at Ion Storm and the testers from here are seriously cool people. And of course thiefpetition.com.
Now I've actually got a reason to re-install T3, and i'm sure it'll be on my HD for years now.
I hope you guys from Ion Storm landed some decent jobs. Having "Previous work: Ion Storm" on your resume should get you a job anywhere :P.

Makes me happy that I did not say I would eat my underwear if an editor was ever released.
I was losing faith. :p

Wow. I guess it's time to reinstall the game. Thanks to all those who made this happen.

Woah... The Editor has been released? And with all that sneakery behind the scenes and great dedication and hardship and closures and my oh my... :0
Well done all of ya. Now I'll have even more to look forward to when I finally, at a long bloody last, get a TDS-capable machine up to speed.
Many thanks to all of you who were involved in making this come about!

Goddammit!!! :mad: And I just recovered from the last four years that were sucked out of my life. :tsktsk:
I bought a house, I've got responsibilities... and you freakin' people dump another Thief Editor on me. "Wicked" and "vile" don't even begin to describe you people.
I'm right with Hit Deity there. My wife and I got a house and settled down and were planning children but now she's going to have to wait until I've finished my FM first :devil:
You dev's had better watch your back's because she wants your blood!
From a personal point of view - excellent work, really appreciated and I hope you know it! :thumb:
