I don't get it.
The mission includes v1.2.3 already.
Is that the reason for the problems (crashes) that some of us do face?
So, we need 1.2.4 ? Where to get it ? I do not see that version around anywhere. :confused:

NVSript V.1.2.3 works fine if that is what you have.
NVScript V.1.2.4 is in the zip, but this had to be posted as someone reported not knowing that a script was needed because Fm-Selector didn't allow the readme before the game begins. Therefore, they couldn't play it. The person claimed after installing V.1.2.3 into the T2 directory they could then play it. Without it, no! They claimed that the lag had been reduced, and they were able to finish the mission.

One thing to try, which should be included in an update is to change Dark.cfg,
Obj_min From: -8192 to -18192
Obj_max From: 2400 to 8184
Obj_refs From: 24000 to 47740

The reason being, is that NewDark allows almost 4x the objects and more references.
Some T2 installs may encounter an inablilty to load a save game, with an error such as:

WARNING: Pathfinding database was built with an object space larger than the current object space!
WARNING: rehinting objects on AI pathfinding database load.

I'm replaying this on Hard, since there are bonus objectives to complete which aren't present on Easy (:grr:)
For special items, in my inventory I've got the...
golden hammer & staff of balance, though I'm not sure they count
ceremonial hammer
rare coin
golden plate
retirement watch
I also picked up the medallion but it isn't showing up anymore.
Did I miss something, or is it the disappearing one that is keeping the objective from ticking off?

Sure, look in The Vault room. It is not hidden.

First, welcome to the forum, TOS CreepingDeath.

Second, I assume the TDP reference in your post above was a mistake since this is not a TDP mission. Right? Also, have you actually tried this with FM Sel, or only with Darkloader?

Yeah..meant the metal age.I have tried also with FMSel with the same problems.Incidentally,although "Far Edges" runs it always crashes as soon as I round the corner on the catwalk.

Been here since 2004.I just had to re-register of late, 'cause my password was no longer accepted.Anyway I have tried 4 of the contest missions to date and can get none to work properly.If it is my machine,then it looks like my thieving days are over.:erg:

At least as far as these missions are concerned.I'll keep trying to get my setup so that it'll run these,but it's looking bleak.

Ok, after the problems with lag and crashes, I startes all over again
- with the recommended settings in dark.cfg
- and also disabled ALL MODs (EP, T2Sky+Water+NTEX).
No more lag and no crashes. Whatever it was, the issue is gone.
:thumb:

(NOTE: Simply doing these changes and continuing with a previous savegame did not fix it, so probably anyone experience these issues needs to start all over.)

I've sent you an email about this.

Edit. And you're looking like your old self again.
