Thanks, I'll keep that in mind:D

Hi!
I've been playing thief 2 for a looooong time, and I have an installation of Thief (GOG)/Taffer Patcher (latest) that works pretty well with the original game and other fan missions, but for some reason, it seems that all the missions on this thread (that I downloaded from the google drive) are missing textures/scripts... (which they are not, i presume)
Some objects are invisible, some walls are black, NPCs are invisible, I cannot interact with doors, I cannot use my items/weapons...
Am I missing something?
Thank you very much, have a nice day.

There are no missions to play here. This is an announcement/discussion thread. Guess you mixed it up with this contest

The Dark Project 20th Anniversary Contest
Install Thief Gold+NewDark to play the missions.

Oh yeah my bad, I stupidly confused Thief/Thief II, I thought this was the first thread of a T2 FM competition and the other was its results...
So that's why the missions don't work properly, thank you, I'm just going to install T1 and wait another year for this one's results!

I'm assuming that using custom models to replace terrain to save on cells is against the rules (e.g. replace a terrain pyramid roof with the equivalent, same-textured shape as a model)? I started working on something but it got too big and I've hit the cell limit. If not I'll just release it separate to the contest.
Yandros on 4/6/2019 at 14:21
Nope, you can only use original models modified to change the textures, no custom model files.

Yeah figured as much. It's not a mission I can easily split in two either. I reckon I'll just try and stick to the stock-T2 style but not worry about adhering to the rules, and just release it when it's done irrespective of the contest. :)

Thanks, Yandros - you've sucked me back into the abyss of DromEd. The distant completion date gives me the five months I'll need to remember how to make a mission :-)
- eep!
