Thievery Interview - 8:34:42 AM - Elenkis |
HomeLan Fed have interviewed project lead Dalai about the recently released (and might I say extremely cool?) Thievery UT mod. Here's a snippet:
HomeLAN - How difficult was it to bring your ideas about the Thief games to the mod?Also, please note that the thieveryut.com site seems to be out cold at the moment and you'll need to head over to the www.ttlg.com/thievery URL for now.
Have fun!

FM/DM: Run Thief...RUN! - 7:12:24 AM - Elenkis |
Run Thief...RUN is a fun new demo/fan mission from Gum Drop with objective of learning the route and running through in the fastest time possible. Good luck!
|
FMs: Brainchild and Awaken! - 6:49:12 AM - Elenkis |
Two new Thief 1 fan missions have been added to the database; Thief Brainchild and Awaken! Both missions were created by Sperry but neither of them have a readme file or any kind of description. Awaken seems to have a pretty interesting concept however, where you start out with nothing and the objectives unfold as the mission plays out. So why not give them a go and post your thoughts? :)

Quick Introduction - 9:52:34 PM - Darkwarrior |
I'll be helping out The Circle with posting news regarding TEG. There's always a lot going on so I'll be sure to keep an eye on the forum (especially because I plan on actually finishing my current Thief 2 FM).
There's a bunch of news to look at below, so happy reading. :)

Secret of the Craymen Announced - 9:38:39 PM - Darkwarrior |
Sharga and Yametha have announced their in-development Thief 2 Campaign, Secret of the Craymen. The second mission, Blue Moon, will hopefully come out soon. Why hopefully? Take a look at this eye candy:
Incredible screenshots, guys! I can't wait to play it. (you can check out the rest of the shots at this thread)
EDIT: Swamped was the first FM in the series and is already released. You can download it here.

New Model Converter - 9:28:45 PM - Darkwarrior |
This is great news! Now instead of going from 3DS to .e to .bin using a DOS program (to import 3D models to Dark Engine games), you can now use an excellent graphical program to go right from .3ds to .bin! A big thanks goes out to Nameless_Voice for this program. To get it, go to this webpage and scroll down on the news. Also check out N_V's new silver models, which look fantastic. Keep it up, Nameless_Voice!

Thievery UT Release Date Set - 8:44:53 AM - Dan |
Friday the 28th.
Get your Unreal Tournament installations ready to go. Thievery UT is coming! From the official site: Thievery Beta 1.0 weighs in at 125 megs and is playable offline against the AI, or (much more recommended) online, taking on the role of either a thief or a guard. If you're using dial-up, don't be put off, due to clientside code and the nature of the gameplay, Thievery is still playable with high ping. We'll be holding something of a release party in our irc channel and a bunch of online games, so be sure to drop by (more details will be announced nearer the time).Their site features four new screenshots just to get you excited, too. :) |

Winamp Skin and Goodies - 11:43:21 PM - Elenkis |
Andrea Marchi has again been busy creating some new Thief goodies for the media section! This time he has made a Winamp skin, desktop wallpaper and some icons that all follow a Hammerite theme. Thanks Andrea, nice stuff! :-)

Fanfic: A Contest of Fools - 7:27:37 PM - Elenkis |
Seth Paul (greypatch3) has finished part two of his humorous fanfic, A Contest of Fools. If you're looking for a laugh then take a look at this Thief story done in the style of Douglas Adams. Here's a peek:
As per the attempts at renovation, the Bonehoard now had a wall around it. It was originally designed to have a neatly laid brick outline, with fancy glassed doors allowing ingress or egress from it. However, many locals argued that cemeteries were supposed to have a dank look to it in order to scare off hooligans from ruining gravesites. So, the gate was built to look purposely aged, with a cast-iron gate missing some bars and flaky, unstable brickwork. The gate, to give it an even more authentic “you can go in here, but probably shouldn’t” look, was held shut by a small piece of masking tape.Thanks greypatch! |

Custom Thief 2 Trailer - 9:19:54 PM - Elenkis |
David Syas has created a new Thief 2 trailer by editing together various cutscenes from the game along with the pumping soundtrack. Pretty darned cool :-) The AVI file is a hefty 30MB in size and lasts for about two and a half minutes, you can find it along with the other finely made fan movies here. Thanks Dave! |

FM Mailing List - 7:17:33 PM - Elenkis |
Kurgan of the FPS Society has sent us the following news about a new fan mission mailing list:
I wanted to let ya know that the First Person Shooter Society has spun off another new mailing list. Originally, the 1PS list was intended for both FM and general gaming discussions, but has now branched into two separate entities. The new list is FM-Central and, as the name implies, is entirely devoted to the Fan Mission community. Intended as a place primarily for FM designers and mappers to congregate and share ideas, get feedback on missions, showcase new projects, recruit help, and announce new releases, FM players are also most welcome to join in and ask questions, post reviews, and generally learn about the wonderful world of Fan Missions! Although Thief is the clear primary interest, discussions of other games' FMs are entirely acceptable and welcome. The details for subscribing can be found here:FPS Society will also soon be opening a new site for hosting fan missions, it will be announced on the mailing list once live.
Thanks Kurgan!

Alex Brandon Posts in the Forum - 6:47:26 PM - Elenkis |
Ion Storm audio director Alex Brandon has posted on our forums in response to a thread that voices some concerns that his usual music style may not be appriopriate for Thief 3 and may not live up to Eric Brosius' work in the previous Thief games. Here's what he had to say on the matter:
Interesting thread :)Thanks Alex, good to hear from you! We're looking forward to hearing your work in T3 :) |
FM: The Sisterhood of Azura - 5:16:13 PM - Elenkis |
Estheridge, part one of Ben Hur's new Sisterhood of Azura trilogy that Dan posted about below has now been added to our FM database. Enjoy!

Fanfic: A Thief in the 30's - 7:33:17 PM - Elenkis |
Antonio Salazar has sent us chapters twelve and thirteen of his ongoing novel A Thief in the 30's. As always Antonio has also updated the author's note, this time with the news that he has now finished the novel on paper and will be submitting the last chapters soon! Congrats Antonio and thanks for all the submissions! Here's a snip from the latest chapters:
Mercury came to first, and, looking around, realized with a groan exactly where he was. Garrett stirred beside him, and Mercury searched with bleary eyes to see where he was tied down and what he was tied down to. Garrett awoke beside him, and a groan told him he had also realized where they were. Finally, Mercury saw the rope tying his hands to his feet, and the other rope tying the first one to some sort of metal bar. |

Fanfic: A Story of a Son - 10:49:27 PM - Elenkis |
A new short story has been added to the fanfic library for your reading pleasue. A Story of a Son by Dudie tells the tale of Dustin, child of two very familiar characters. Here's a peek:
The mansion was more of a castle than anything it had twenty foot walls with a high guard tower in each corner. The wall was thick enough for guards to patrol and with a torch every five feet, it seemed almost impossible to get through. I sat and waited nearly three hours clocking every movement every breath each guard took until I had the timing right to breach the gap. This was the home of Sir Worthington a wealthy old man who had just recently moved into the city. He had obviously heard of the many thieves this city holds otherwise his security would not be so tight.Thanks for the submission, Dudie! |
FM: The Sisterhood of Azura - 12:09:32 PM - Dan |
Ben Hur has produced part one of his T2 trilogy, and it's called The Sisterhood of Azura. This mission will be avaliable from our archive as soon as Jason puts it up on his server - but in the mean time, grab hold of it from the author's page, right here.
The town of Estheridge, an old haunt of Garretts, was once a Hammerite stronghold but over the last few years the steel fist of the Mechanists has meant misery for the towns folk. The Sisterhood of Azura, an all female sub splintergroup of Mechanists have the whole town at their mercy. Mercy is one thing they're short of. The alchemy they practise is the darkest imagineable, not even Karras would go so far. Garretts old friend Sara, a rather powerful alchemist herself, has requested the help of Garrett in finding an ancient Hammerite book and artifact that holds the key to the Azura's power as she herself is on the hitlist of the Mechs. The Keepers are poking their nose in too, hmmmm ...........The screenshots look great as well! |

Hallucinations, by Ken Ramsley (frobber) - 6:37:33 PM - Dan |
I'd like to start off with a mission that had gained quite a bit of attention before it's release. It's a huge mission, with a huge list of helpers. The main man behind it, Ken Ramsley (frobber), worked on this mission for well over a year. Congratuations on the release!
|
Overloaded and Behind - 6:32:44 PM - Dan |
I finally found a free moment to catch up on updates. As you should know, Elenkis is away for the week. As you may not have known, my 'real' job has been keeping me away for more and more extended periods. But I got a few moments, and am trying to catch things up. We have a ton of FMs piled up. I'd like to give a big thanks to Jason Tibbitts and Komag for their attention to detail and studious work. On to the missions!
