Lord Ashton Series FM 1: A Visit to Lord Ashton's (V2: Aug 12, 2002)

Thank you. I was able to
[SPOILER] break some glass behind two "window panes" with key emblems
on them in the library entryway. But I still can't find the "real vault" so I can end that FM. I will look back in His Lordship's bedroom again. It has to be there or in that dratted, taffin, library. [/SPOILER]

You might find the (http://www.ttlg.de/others/christine/la1e.html) walkthrough helpful if you're struggling a bit. Some stuff in this mission is really well hidden. :)

Thanks again Nightwalker. I have been temp down, but fixed prob. I was
planning on trying to contact the author directly, but now I don't have to. :)
If I am still having probs with the ttlg search feature, I will try to contact an
administrator after looking at the faq again. Happy trails...

In connection with the upcoming release of Lord Ashton NewDark Revision, Mat99 checked the English texts and found some problems. If anyone with native English wants to take a look and fix this let me know or we release it as is.

Here's a quote from a private message:

Quote Posted by Mat99

...As I presumed, there were tons of visual-legibility issues + typos in readables, also some technical issues as ANSI force-converted to UTF-8 code page... LOL. So, French accent in "André" was nonexistent in some English localization/language readables, and completely nonexistent in objective-tables and object-descriptions... How these things passed betatests... I just can't even imagine...

Visual-legibility + technicals + visual-appealing are one thing, but some of the texts really, REALLY need to be checked by English proof-reader! Not all of them - just specific ones.

I can't do that, I'm not native-speaker and also my English is very poor :( but even for me some of the sentences were (and are) weirdly odd and they looked incorrect... I already corrected the most obvious wrong English 'things', but can't help much with another ones :/ Have you got someone on Shadowbox forum for proofreading?

I will send you all texts later - ReadME file isn't ready yet and also...

I'm not sure if this work is worth the time. Your opinion is interesting.
By the way, the Russian texts turned out to be rather weak too, but I will say so - the texts are not the strong side of this campaign, you can go through it without reading any texts. :rolleyes:

fortuni on 11/3/2021 at 11:35

I've sent a PM to a couple of proof readers at Shadowbox to see if anyone can help, will let you know.

dml courtesy Glypher, dml is good for all 3 missions (stand alone, campaign, Soul Tear ND_Rework)

Fixes
- shields, lanterns etc (can frob shields and lanterns off guards without dml)
- doors, banner, painting (open angles, open position, blockfrob, protection)
- arrows (DeathStage 12)
- mantling
- pickpocketing (end game stats)
- misplaced objects (chairs, buckets, ladder, switch, key, coins)
- loot (pick distance, position, nodrop)
- AIs

Using the miss20.gam.dml the guards highlight, so they can be picked up then put back down & keep walking but are halfway in the ground, and when I remove the file that doesn't happen. The miss20.mis.dml seems to be ok and is fixing the other listed issues.

Doesn't happen with me, but only checked the first couple of guards I came across. Got a save?

Dahenjo on 12/11/2021 at 11:19

Reinstalled it (it's the Rework series) and still happens, here's a save just after starting:
(https://drive.google.com/file/d/153pYFU0ScGSlH4WrdkohW7l-R3Al7nmM/view?usp=sharing)

I also checked the log file and see this line:
: Failed to load script module "script.osm" (error code 126)

EDIT: When I copy script.osm into my T2 root folder then it works correctly, so it's not loading it from \OSM for some reason.

fortuni on 12/11/2021 at 12:10

Your save works fine for me, I can't frob the guards.

My log file show the .gam loading correctly, so would appear for some reason the problem is on your rig not the actual dml..
