Hey John D.,
I've just downloaded your new mission. This is a wonderful tomb-/undead-mission with partly a very unusual gameplay (I don't want to give away too much). Great work!
:thumb: :thumb:
I fear the announcement of this new FM gets lost in the Yummy-underground-thread ... so would you please say some words 'from Builder to Taffer' about your new FM here in this thread ;)
John D. on 21/10/2002 at 01:15
I'm glad you like it!:D :)
I like undead missions, so I decided to try my hand at
one (with a few twists:sly: )
My architecture is a little on the primitive side, but I learned
a lot of things about Dromed in the making of this mission!
I would like to thank everyone at the Editing Forum for their
generous assistance! Without your guidance
THIS FM WOULD NOT BE POSSIBLE!:thumb:
Special thanks to Aslyum for his permission to use his
Hidden Agenda textures!
I also forgot to put this tip in my txt file, here it is:[SPOILER]Your sword has a holy stim to kill zombies! But do backstabs only! If you kill a zombie head on, its burst could take you out with it![/SPOILER]
If you like undead, (or just like to see them get smashed:ebil:)
You'll like this FM! Have fun!:)
P.S. I hope you like the note from the Keepers Nightwalker!;)

Ooooh! I was going to go to bed and play this tomorrow, but maybe I'll stay up instead! You've made me curious and I love playing undead missions at night, anyway! :cheeky:

ok i need a hint john:[SPOILER]ok i found most of the loot, i still havent found the scroll mentioned in bugs, but i'm having problems obviously i'm missing a scroll or something cause objective wont check off, i've been in the thieves guild, the lords basement, is there a way to get into the upper area of the lords, and i been into the chapel and behind, i've gotten everything that wasnt nailed down, dang those mined sections hurt, lol. allittle help with it i need. great fm, i let the guards and hammers deal with the hords of undead. so funny.[/SPOILER]
John D. on 21/10/2002 at 03:36
Hmm is this scroll:
[SPOILER]Mechanist or Hammer information? If Mechanist, it will be in Lord Linus's basement in a wall safe inside Friend Arbez's lab. If you're looking for a Hammer Scroll, it should be in one of the small rooms behind the the underground chapel. It's the one where Thoren has a couple of diaries, there will be two scrolls there, one of them is the Hammer info you're looking for![/SPOILER]
There's no way out of the basement except back into the tombs, the doors at the
top of the stairs are unopenable, the Mech's keep them sealed at night.
[SPOILER]If you havent already, try flipping the big switch in the basement for some fun! (stay in the shadows!) Also there are secret passages that can bypass the
mined areas and set you up for one NASTY Hammer/Haunt fight! [/SPOILER] :ebil:

I found the Keeper's scroll, John. That's my very first mention in an FM! Thank you! I found it after only about 15 minutes, so I still have most of the mission to explore. So far, I love it! :)
John D. on 21/10/2002 at 03:47
No FM has ever had any kind of tribute to you Nightwalker!?
Shame on them!:o
You dont know how many times I was stuck, trapped, confused
in many a FM, and you showed me the way out!:D :thumb:

I just got done playing this mission and I loved it. I kept going back and watching the hammers/mechs/guards battle it out. what fun. Their fighting and I'm collecting loot. Love the tunnels and secret entrances. Just enough dark for me to avoid being seen and loose them when I need to. I had a blast. I used to hate undead FM's but now they don't bother me. I end up ghosting because it is too much trouble to get rid of the undead. again great mission.

I usually don't make quick judgements about FMs, but this one's going on my "Best Of" list. :thumb:
[spoiler] I especially enjoyed being hit with holy water arrows by serious-looking archers...kind of a different experience, to say the least. ;)[/spoiler]

But then again it might have been just FM authors, can't remember. Anyhow, will have to give this a try, sounds fun!
