Well, here it is, the gold edition of Thief's Rising for TDS!
(
http://thiefmissions.com/m/ThiefsRising) @Thiefmissions.com
As with the original version, the campaign is about a character called Reuben, whos young life takes a turn for the worse and is forced to live on the streets where he begins his life of thievery. Set shortly after the demise of the Hag, in a city on Bale Island, where the existence of factions, religious or otherwise, has been eradicated. The story unfolds over ten consecutive, single loading, missions, in the same style as the original Thief games, with no hub or back-tracking.
The original has seen many changes for this version, some more notable than others, including many bug fixes. The new version uses CBT files instead of IBT's, so is a much more download friendly size of 104MB. Title graphics, loading screens and a city map have been included, and German translations are provided, with all other languages set to English. There was going to be Russian translations too, but my translator has gone AWOL. Of the two extra missions, one fits snugly into the middle of the game, while the other presents a more conclusive ending to the game.
I had an accident that resulted in the loss of the map files and will no longer be able to make modifications to the game, which has resulted in the following two, minor bugs remaining.
Warehouse mission - Looking down the full length of the docks area can cause jittery game play.
Nautical mission - There is a pirate patrolling beneath the ships helm that loses his way and can be found either trying to walk into a wall or standing still. The latter may make it impossible to pass without being seen, but luckily, I had added junk items to the mission which can be tossed to distract him.
I hope now that it is a much more enjoyable playing experience than the previous release. Have fun!
Thanks to Fortuni for his latest (

So this is a Thief 3 Deadly Shadows mission ported to Thief 1 Gold?

Nope, this is a TDS campaign that has been improved upon and two extra missions added, so I called it the Gold Edition of Thief's Rising.

Can you please upload this file to some standard Thief FM-site, getting "no file found" every time :(

If only the download worked for me, I'd get it up on thiefmissions. But clicking the download link just refreshes the page. Please try to send your FM to a reliable host for such things; it doesn't have to be me but I certainly wouldn't complain if it was.
Edit: yes, that goes for both of the gamefront links posted so far.
Edit2: Finally got it and updated the version on thiefmissions. The link is, as usual, unchanged: (

I thought Game Front was a reliable host! Never had any problems with it myself.
Anyway, thanks for adding it.
