Adsk1 - Great game play, love the series! Got to this point and have tried over 60 times and only come two step or so to getting the dagger and got nothing! I don't know if its my pc or what but very frustrating to come so close. I given up before I go insane. Anyway love the 8 missions and great job! Hopefully you could find your scripts and fix mission 8 to allow just a little more time. Looking forward to your next project if there is one in the works.

I can't imagine that time limits would be that much different over different spec PC's, but clearly something is amiss and so I understand your frustration and can only appologise.
The only way to recover the scrips would be to some how extract them from the release files, but I have no idea of how to do that.
I have no immediate plans for any FMs, however I do plan to do something with Thief 4 once I have played it to death like its predecesors and an editor is made available.

Thanks for your appreciation of my work.

That is disconcerting!
I know that I had to cut corners with zone portals (which help the game run smoothly) in order to conserve memory (due to limitations caused by Xbox compatability), which would require a higher system requirement. That said TDS is around 10 years old now so surely any reasonably modern PC should be able to blitz this engine. Do you have an older spec PC maybe?

I'm sorry that you'll be unable to continue.:(

Adsk1, My pc is at least 4 years old. I'll try again later since I really enjoyed the game play. Right now I''m just frustrated right now. I'll probably play the series from the beginning since I enjoy that much anyway.

Hi Adsk1,

Well I tried some editing on the T3PlayerAnims.ini by increasing the forward speed higher. After I made the changes, I tried again and was able to get the dagger. I don't know whether it was the file editing or just luck but now I can continue the mission.

c:/Program Files/Thief- Deadly Shadows/System
I changed speed=1 to speed=2 (later I changed it to speed=1.5 so it wouldn't be to choppy sounding in movement.

dash it!...I cant get the dagger...there is just not enough time,I have made all the shortcuts I possibly can,by leaping over balconies etc but,the dagger changes back to being guarded by spell again, about 4 footsteps away from nabbing it,also partly because nancy boy Verolla runs like a prat in Tds..:cheeky:...so will have to leave this FM unfinished...:(

I did enjoy the set a whole lot!..thank you:cool:

Any trick to skip the mission 4, i´m getting tired of having game crahes when saving the game, and the annying thing is that once thief 3 crashes to desktop i canoot run thief 3 again unless i restart my windows session.:p

This mission does NOT require you to remain unseen. Hell, you could run aimlessly around the entire city with all the guards chasing you and still be able to complete the mission. Except, make sure no guards are nearby when you try to use the Fence's door to finish the mission.
