I Want to know how to Cheat....

its well know that 'Torben - The Traitor' T1 has a problem with Newdark engine, you can't start the mission as the rope you need to climb up doesn't drop far enough down, but in her walkthrough Nexus Letum ( (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lrSkQKVSXAI) ) knows of a really neat trick, namely a command 'binding a key to player unstuck'....and hey presto she can climb up thin air...:cheeky:

does anyone know anything about this fabulous cheat, and more importantly are you prepared to tell me how to do it....?

i appreciate some people may consider that posting details of such a blatant cheat in this forum may not be cool, so feel free to pm me if you prefer......i promise not to use this cheat in any other fm ....:ebil:

I play fms for as long as I can think and I haven't heard of this cheat before but the old rule still aplies: You never stop learning something new - in the Thief games! :D

That being said, watching this video reminded me that I had problems with this rope playing without NewDark, too!

I don't know how often I tried but eventually I succeeded - this cheat would make this far easier, of course. So please let's share your knowledge, guys!

When NewDark arrives, I've found the unstuck_player command in one of the .bnd files of the NewDark files.
I've tried it and realized it could be used as a cheat in (http://www.ttlg.com/forums/showthread.php?t=140085&p=2156413#post2156413) some FM like Torben.

But I thought the lenght rope was corrected in NewDark 1.21...

This is the end of my cam_ext file and I have no problems at all with Torben the Traitor...

; head bob scale factor (a value between 0 and 1), useful if the head bobbing is causing motion sickness
;bob_factor 0.3

; weapon bob scale factor in shock (a value between 0 and 1), also useful against motion sickness
;shock_gun_bob_factor 0.2

force_correct_rope_lengths 1

Just add: force_correct_rope_lenghts 1 to your cam_ext file and that should solve your problem.
