[Developer Commentary Added] T2 FM - Lingering Whispers - (8 Sept 2011) - by scarykitties

Finished on Expert with 3 hours of gametime, 75% of secrets found and just about enough loot to cover the loot requirement.
It's a very ambitious mission and there's always plenty to do, but I must second the point of repetetive tasks, especially in relation to getting the warehouse doors opened. Still, I don't consider it to be a very large problem.
I didn't encounter any of the bugs mentioned, oddly enough. Unless you count not getting the Apothercary apparatus to do anything for me.
I'm always in favour of improvements, so I recommend you try to make a 1.1 release of this FM.
I ranked it four stars, as it certainly is one of the better releases this year. Keep up the good work!

Hehe, any suggestions? I don't know what to look for.
If anyone's having troubles with the Apothecary Apparatus, try this combination:
Blue, Green, Red, Green, with only the burner under the blue turned on.That should produce a single SlowFall potion. Let me know if it doesn't work, because, although people seem to have some problems figuring out the Apothecary puzzle, it's never not worked in testing and the set-up is essentially so simple, I can't imagine what would go wrong to prevent it from working whatsoever.

I'm in the lava area the mask takes you to; I've been to both ends, & turned on an electrical box, but I don't have the second cup to put on the pedestal or a rope/vine arrow for the secret. do I need to revert to an earlier save and do all this over again later?

Yes, if you want to find the other cup, and then go to the
maw to find a vine arrow,or make your way back up into the mines and from their you will find some steps and a corridor that may lead you to the other cup. When you make your way back up if you choose to, you could find a tunnel leading into the mines. A shortcut ! The booby traps are not difficult if you squat and watch where the magic missles are firing at.As far as:
rope or vine arrows in the tunnels or crypts, there may be , but I was never able to find any. Sk would know.

All other fms work perfect, is absolutely nesesary DDFix be installed? It causes trables!
scarykitties on 20/9/2011 at 12:45
Nope, no vine arrows in the crypts. But you don't have to get an earlier save: you can leave the crypts and come back later without any problem.
Bar, I don't believe that DDFix is required for my mission as I don't use any special texture sizes or anything (so far as I recall). What sorts of troubles are you having? I must have missed your post.

By the way, the mission has been updated to 1.1. "Features" include:
1. Fixed sound propagation
2. Streamlined bay door system
3. A few small tweaks here and there
4. AIs have been split into appropriate teams
- This wasn't done initially because sound propagation would make them notice each other before the player even arrived, which was pretty messy. But I luckily found something I had missed that was the core of those bugs and now the sound should be better, and with it, the AI stability.

Are you using Garrettloader? Do you have thief2 v.118 ? Sounds like Gen.osm Can you post the date on that file here? Also, do all your loaded fms do this or only this one ? And, have you loaded the latest revised edition ?
