2006.11.16: T2 FM: Thru the Lookin' Glass by Schwaa

That's what I get for speedreading again! :o

Anytime I start seeing what I think is 'tech-talk' in a thread my brain shuts down.

Thanks, NV. I was starting to make myself crazy trying to frob those damn things from all sorts of different positions!

Dia, that's the same script problem that has been discussed for most of the thread.

Strange, I never had any trouble frobbing those gems during beta-testing....

Yeah, in early testing Nightwalker was the only one with that issue, solved by reloading scripts (she scared me for a minute), but she was testing another Fm with the other scripts.

Great - before I couldn't pick your loot out of the new footlockers - now after installing the new scripts - it crashes Thief when I open them (using DL btw).......:rolleyes:

Get this: ERROR: Add/Remove Metaproperty: metaproperty can't be found!

edit: just noticed that after I get the error (Alt+Tabbing out) and then go back in to Thief 2 - it will let me frob whatever was in there....and play on....

Oh well - it looks good - so I'll just wander around your FM to check it out and not open anything....lol

**EDIT** - nevermind, forgot to install the Dev2 scripts - just in case someone else has these problems......:rolleyes:

Thanks for the help with the scripts... everything worked perfectly. Very nice mission! I completely enjoyed myself the whole way. I loved the [SPOILER]auto-close chests! More FMs should have that.; oh, and the rabbits![/SPOILER] A technical triumph, congratulations!:thumb:

[SPOILER] oh, and the rabbits![/SPOILER] :

Thanks :thumb: Yep, had to include 'em. One reason I didn't include a bunch of other peoples custom stuff was because I am building up schwaaobjects.gam. I was going to release it with a 'demo' kindof mission, really just an upgraded 3magestomb. But that got clustered and turned into a test mission for new objs...
So when I started this I used that gamesys, I figured this way if someone wants to check out props on my stuff they can just look at it, instead of me writing detailed descriptions of everything.
Be warned though, While I tried to put all the correct props on the hiearchy objs, some of them were 'touched up' and have props on the actual concrete obj too. Not everything is included either, but in time will be.

Garrettwannabe:
That is something I haven't heard of yet. I've heard back from maybe 20-30 people.
If anyone else has this prob I'd like to know.
Do you have tnhscript 1.5.4? i only say this because it's the latest, and I don't think gaylesavers scripts have been updated for quite awhile.

I am working on fixing some script issues per Telliamed.
Removing duplicated hiarchy/concrete scripts on objs, replacing StdButton with TrigWorldFrob
(although these haven't seemed to cause problem, I figured it would be good to clean it up a bit before next release).

Haha - just saw the working toilet - everyone must check that one out!

Another tremendous feat is achieved in Dromeddom!!!!:thumb:

I have to agree with GW above - the flushing toilets with changing water level is an amazing detail to add, as is the working sinks/faucets. I probably found this to be the most entrancing FM in a long time - mostly due to the extensive amount of thought put into the tiniest details. The telescope was wondrous! I truly hope you do develop this into a campaign.:eek: :thumb:

Schwaa2 - [SPOILER]Found 1 of 2 secrets (think it was the gas bomb beside the little stairs between the 2 generator rooms or the gas arrow up above the pipes area), 3 nebulae, bonus 1800 extra loot objective and only 3406 of 3646 - easy level.[/SPOILER]

Gotta go back through on harder level and try out that bugger of a ladder again, and find the other secret and get all loot. (and the other bonus objectives ?)

Really worth playing several times, great map.

I had the same problem in the beta testing in last version for some reason and couldn't use the telescope controls or get the loot out of the footlockers resulting in getting nowhere:tsktsk:

Downloaded the new scripts and works fine:D
