Thief Fan Missions

Thief 2 with its cloudy bright skies and warm colored lighting is downright inviting compared to the cold blackness of pure starlit skies and monochrome lights in Thief 1.

Probably. I'm interested to see if turnout is as good as it was for the T1 contest; on one hand many authors who entered the T1 contest are probably too fatigued to make another in a year, but on the other hand T2 has always been the more popular game with more FMs, and some older authors who have been inactive for a while already joined in.

Any love for the 2014 Thief? The Asylum mission was fun.

What's a good first fan mission to hit up?

lol no. That game has a 2 to 60 ratio of good to bad aspects.

What kinda mission from the main games did you like?

Downwind Thieves' Guild and Framed!

I like the bank dlc

The Dark Mod

that music is so soothing but I couldn't find it on youtube.

For something akin to Thieves' Guild you might like Dirty Money for TG, which has a seedy establishment amidst the sewers and some streets.
I can't think of anything particularly like Framed off the top of my head but Heist Society is my go-to T2 FM recommendation. It's a mansion mission with lots of cameras and an atmosphere similar to Casing the Joint/Masks (but with a much more interesting layout and not repeated twice).

The dark mod is comfy af

Alright, downloading both now, I might as well I got both games installed. And I got Dark Mod installed.

protip: always read the mission's info file/readme, they usually use that in lieu of a briefing cutscene.

Yeah, that was fun with the different approaches you could take.

Ok, good to know. First I gotta check the forums on how to install these, I've never used one before. Should be easy I imagine.

I only use Tfix & Tafferpatcher. Are there any other mods that you recommend?

It's easy, just keep the .zip files for T1 and T2 missions in separate folders and don't unzip them yourself.
Assuming you have the games patched with NewDark, open cam_mod.ini and take the semicolon out from the line
;fm
From then on when you launch the game it'll start with an installation manager (FMSel) which you can use to install and uninstall and mark missions complete and so on. It should prompt you to point it toward one of the folders you put the .zips in and it should be self explanatory from there.

Nah, the graphics mods are ass and there's not really any significant gameplay mods. Tafferpatcher is slightly outdated and the full version of TFix has some retarded shit in it so I tend to recommend plain Newdark.

I remember this being posted a few years back

Didn't Terry Pratchett help write a fan mission because he was such a big fan of the games?

I believe you're thinking of the Oblivion companion he wrote.

No, unless it was unannounced and under a pseudonym. He was into fan missions though, and posted on old thief newsgroups.

Worked like a charm. Thanks m8

There were some definite winners in the recent FM contest, I'd say all of them are worth a look

I will make this quick. I have to go to work in ten minutes:

My top Fan Missions so far:
I have been trying to play all of them, it is all I do anymore

Deaths Cold Embrace
Black Frog
A better Tomorrow
Cell 6
A mothers Love
Ominous Bequest
The Seven Sisters
Tell Tale Heart Unnecessary risk
Upside down
The Tower
Wicked Relics
Your Last Breath
Zealots Hollow

(On a side note: I have noticed all thief Missions that have the hammerites as bad guys are always really bad. It has to be the edgy kids.

this list is much better than that other one
