Fms that won't work properly with New Dark - Summary of Issues in OP

fortuni on 10/5/2015 at 21:35

Yeah I read the scroll, so I checked that out, destroyed it in fire, still the Hammer with the key does not come into the building.....he's the only one with the key on this side of the locked door. The other keys are inaccessible form this side.

That's why I included a link to the post from the author who said the trigger was the reading of the scroll

Also when playing on normal that scroll does not exist, so the hammer with the key I would have thought should be wandering around so you can frob it off him, but he's nowhere to be found.

Getting late, so I'll go through it again tomorrow, I don't think so but I may have missed something else

Grrr.....made the assumption the author the scroll was talking about was the one i found, turns out there was another hidden scroll in the same room

sorry if you put too much time and effort into that little problem, but thanks for looking anyway

ps did you look into Mansion of Chaos

Hi Voodoo, has anyone ever asked you see if there could be a TFix .dml fix for the water area bug in Mansion of Chaos T1, when you swim up this water tunnel and try to mantle out of the pipe at the other end you die instantly....i suspect it maybe a T1/TG conflict as this bug was not mentioned when the mission was first released, it certainly is not a Newdark issue as was reported all the way back in 2003

2 saves, 1 just before you enter the water tunnel

i know this is not a deal breaking issue, but it is a significant bug worthy of a dml fix if one does exist

again, broken link.

fortuni on 10/5/2015 at 22:50

fixed.....it would appear that most of my saves have disappeared off gdrive.....don't suppose you could supply a dml fix for that problem could you :cheeky:

voodoo47 on 10/5/2015 at 23:08

that would require moving brushes around and a mission reprocess.

fortuni on 11/5/2015 at 09:45

thank you for looking into that...at least we now know

good morning Voodoo

pretty sure this is a Newdark issue, as nothing is mentioned forum about this issue pre Newdark, but in 'The Item' when you collect the legendary sword the loot objective that has already been achieved unchecks, thus although you can get to the end of the mission, you do not manage to officially finish the mission. could a dml fix be supplied for this problem

also in this mission NewDark issue but not a deal breaker in any sense at all, but the arrow trap not does shoot arrows as you walk past them....ill leave it up to you as to whether this merits your attention

the amida door setup (unfrobable, not openable by any key) looks very deliberate, so unless you are dead sure you are getting different behavior under ND, I don't think there is anything to fix.

loaded the save from varyx obelisk, I'm right in front of a water element lock, which I open with the talisman key, then proceed to pick the black sword, and the objective ticks off. what is supposed to be wrong again? maybe supply a different save.

fix for the Item is now in the repository - was an orig bug (rogue loot prop on the quest item). I almost can't believe this could have worked under oldDark - if it did, it was again just sheer luck.

Thank you for The Item. :thumb:

Amida....I tried a few days ago in OldDark...went straight for the key and jumped down and YES I do open that door in OldDark......with NewDark it unlocks and then immediately re locks itself

The other 'Kill the BugBeast' objectives do not work in either OldDark or NewDark....it sounds like it is too much of a messed up mission to spend too much time looking for fixes...but it's a great fun mission all the same

the Varyx Obelisk.....the problem is that when you find the Sword when playing via Expert/NewDark the objective 'find the black sword' does not tick off, which means that when you go to put the Talisman holders and place all 4 Talisman' s in place you do not get the final objective to complete.....thus the issue is to find a solution to the 'find the sword' objective ticking off correctly
A mix to this problem is that the swords location is randomizied, you can find it in 4 different places, but I did go back and check all 4 locations and there was not another sword to be found
Ps I also checked playing both on normal and hard, the sword objective worked fine....

Do you need a save just b4 I pick up the sword.....time for my lunch but I'll see what I can dig up this evening
