just to be clear, there should be no bugs regarding vanishing inventory in the 1.1 download ... that was definately fixed.:)
sorry about the mouse :ebil: it is kinda hard to find, I think because it's location blocks the loot glint, [SPOILER]plus it's on the floor, away from "eye level" ...[/SPOILER]
I'm honoured by your choice of desktop ... if you want a higher res image, you can find the original digital painting on my website ... :) but it doesn't have all the rain and stuff I added in the video.

BLACKJACKS -- You taffers who think we thieves don't need our clubs are entitled to your own opinions. I, personally, LOVE my blackjack and when I have a problem finding it in a mission, I feel lost. In T1/T2, I keep the BJ in my hand most of the time. It's very convenient for getting up when you're crouching.
Also, being an older female thief, I don't like killing and the sight of blood. So, it's nice to be able to give the guards a little bump on the noggin to get them off my back. So please, don't even think of getting rid of my blackjack.:rolleyes: :tsktsk: :grr: :nono: :)
Thanxs,
Hope Vincent

Well, I'm honoured by my choice of desktop too :)
And it's visually perfect. That's exactly the way I like it, in the video.
Clearness and details leave no space for imagination, as I said before. And this one's just mind-blowing!:)
BTW, the FM's done .... :'(

That was some great passion for your BlackJack, Hope. . .
(Well, I kind of liked it.) :cool:
So, here's what they need to do with T3 FMs, instead of getting-rid of the BJ.
(And real "guard duty" has probably been this way, ever since its creation.)
Guards will always keep track of each other, along with their areas.
And then if one is missing, could an alarm go-up for all of our T3 guards?
(They keep track of items and lights and will go on alert for those, already.)
BUT are T3 guards smart enough to realize that one of their number is missing? :confused:
So should a "missing guard", no body or blood evidence, equal a level-1 alert?
And then "found blood, only" equals a level-2 alert?
And a "found body of anyone" equals a level-3 alert?
(See what knowing zero about T3Edit, can do to your imagination?) :joke:

Str8g8. this was an awesome mission. I have just finished it and i was more than impressed. i think I must have spent 20 minutes in the little grove near the fountain watching those floating leaves. the only thing I would say to the negative for this mission was that the guard density was a bit low. I'm not a very good thief and I had no trouble evading and then BJ'ing all the guards. i had a hard time finding my way all the way across the bridge but I spent three hours trying to get onto the roofs to take the "Thieves' Highway" I was convinced must be there. i LOVED the climable pipes and you gotta love an FM with cut-scenes. indeed a thing of beauty and efficiency. i was amazed that such a large mission played so smoothly. I had to lower the vertex settings to get "All the World's a Stage" to play. the T3 FM's just keep getting better I can't wait to see what comes out next, hopefully future FM creaters will take after your example and we'll move back into the world of classic Thief but with better graphics. thank you for using the inventory keys. i never liked the non-inventory kind.
thank you so much
Sanity, I have gotten in the habbit of scanning along walls and corners and other likely places (especially around furniture) while rapidly clicking right mouse button. that's how i found the mouse. never saw it just picked it up. it's kinda like when you're looking for something but can't see the area you're searching, you use your hands to feel around. not long ago in a T2 FM I opened a safe and removed the loot within through a wall.

It is a great mission. I wished for more exploration like that one place where you find some loot up high :sly: Also the number of doors that need to be picked completely is a bit too much. Please don't take this as an insult, as you have far more talent then me.

Nobody, did you get a chance to climb-up a tree or two? :angel:
(Those gently drifting leaves, at first, really got my attention.)
But actually standing in the fork of tree, almost knocked me out of it! :D
And that "mysterious Thief's Highway" has become a small fetish for me, also. :cool:

(I did a lot of climbing-investigations but I'm just a novice at T3, you know.)
So would you accept his channel on Water Street as a Thief's Highway of sorts?
str8g8 on 14/6/2006 at 09:48
I should say again I appreciate all feedback, positive or otherwise ... that's what helps us to make better missions after all. Obviously, there is always room for improvement ... and if I had more time I wanted to do just as you say; add a few more patrols, and places to explore. My original design had a few more shops on the bridge to break into, of which only the signs remain ...
