Sandbags are perfect because you can decorate almost everything with them, and sometimes they are not used as sandbags (see: sack for a severed head, spice loot, etc)

Oh I was also going to say, you can mark doorways of places that you've already cleared out.

I'm preparing brief (one-page-ish) reviews of all the contest missions as I play them, hence the question: will there be a space in the voting form to include such type of written evaluation (if so, how much space?) or do you think it's better to post them in the individual missions' threads?
There is space for comments/reviews on the voting page, but nothing prevents you from posting these in the mission threads if you want.

Haplo's mission will not work with the original Darkloader. It needs either FMSEL or NewDarkLoader. And, if TFix is used it needs TFix 1.26a or higher.

So far I have had two cases when Darkloader didn't work well/at all. [...] Haplo's entry in this contest. Even though I installed TFix1.26a, I got the note about the scripts broken when I loaded the mission with old Darkloader. --- so anyone who uses old Darkloader and reads this... you must load this mission via a different way (in my case FMsel worked just fine)
I use the old DarkLoader and it ran without problems, I installed 1.26a before. I don't know if it was this FM or another, I only had to copy
squirrel.osm from my T2 folder into T1. The trick is after copying or modifying files not to use a reload but making a fresh start. :cool:
Nevertheless I didn't end the mission, one reason were those floating lava platforms, I gave up that aera after some attempts, I want to relax while playing Thief. Then I tried several combinations crossing this kind of chessboard with these standing gargoyles, then it was too much for me, enough fiery deaths ... :p

I that happens when the texture is present, it's not flagged as missing via using the gorge, but cannot be loaded. I'm not sure what the real issue is but I would have solid white and black with "Keeper of Infinity, 2" because my system was just low in memory. But going off that, you would have to have a terrible system considering how low in memory those FMs are. Sorry I hope I didn't make the matter more confusing.
