I really love Dark mod and its nice to read that such amount of updated features is available with current version! I really appreciate hard work of each developer and i recommend this to each Thief fan - a lot of features is implemented drastically better than in Deadly shadows, not mentioning Thi4f...

Thi4f was always intended as a blockbuster product.
And doomed by being exactly that.

Thief 4 never came close to being a blockbuster. Modders could have fixed it, but no. They had to have control. So, down the trash it goes where it belongs. Played it once, never again. Zero replay value.
Anyway, back to TDM.
Is there any chance to add an FM downloader?
The same thing that's integrated in the game, just as a separate application.
Thing is, I'd like to be able to play while FMs are downloading.
Thank you for considering!

Blockbuster stands not for "good crafted product that sells being good" but for "crafted to be sellable to everybody" :D

intended as a blockbuster product. *Intended to be*
The whole game is set to be a blockbuster (a popolar product with a wide range of customers) but ultimately fails to be something for everybody and old T1/T2 fans too.
It's really a failed distorting mirror image of Thief 2 that was never intended to be popular in 2000-2001 (Quake 3 / UT era) but it was and today it is still relevant :p

You can use your internet browser and download many (perhaps all) missions from (
https://www.thedarkmod.com/missions/). I think that will do well enough.

Took 30 hours to download :eek:
Brought back dialup memories :p
Next time I'll keep the old one on my pc and just update it

Unfortunately "The Painter's Wife" doesn't seem to work for me. Halfway through loading the mission, the game crashes. Other missions work okay.
