While going through the backlog of the old missions that I haven't played yet I came across "Rigging The Votes", which I found to be badly broken and basically unplayable. I decided to fix it up so it could be played, and gain some DromEd 1 experience in the process.
My efforts at contacting the original author were not very successful, but since he had said "Do whatever with it, like I care." in the mission file, I decided to go ahead. Please note that I did not change any architecture, textures, AIs, patrols, story or any other game play elements. Don't praise/blame me if you like/dislike the mission. Send your love/hate mails to the original author. I just made the mission playable.
What was fixed:
- Loading a save game won't crash anymore.
- Optimization and ObjCast lighting.
- Snapped all the brushes to the grid.
- Fixed a corrupt script name.
- Fixed the objective difficulty settings.
- Fixed the final objective not ticking off.
- Fixed the wrong intrface directory structure.
- Fixed many room brush errors. The author seems to have misunderstood the concept of room brushes. For example, he had put a room brush around every air and solid brush. Imagine the mess.
- The hammer now goes in the inventory.
- Fixed the portcullis at the beginning.
- Fixed the plaques.
- Fixed the infinite arrows.
- Fixed the position and orientation of many doors, objects and lights.
- Fixed the recurring conversations.
- Fixed a couple of missing textures.
- Fixed the texts.
- Made sure all the loot was obtainable.
- Other small fixes.
What was not fixed:
- The starting room is located at (0, 0, 0).
What was not touched:
- The architecture, textures, AIs, AI patrols, story or any other game play elements.

Special thanks to darthsLair for helping me fix a crash which I could not reproduce.

Hmmm..it seems the archive has become corrupt. Give me a few minutes and I will fix it.
Edit: Fixed. Can you please download and try again and let me know if it worked?

Weird. Do you get to the shop or does it crash before that?
I have updated the archive and increased the version number to v3.1, could you please try again?

v3.1 also crashed to the desktop. Mission crashed
before the shop. And objectives from
The Mage Towers: (

Can you please try v3.2?
