great great great...
I already sent you an email cause i HAVE to know the name of the song...
I know it's from Rondo Veneziano but I don't know the title---

anyway, the mission was very nice, design hypnotised me... the dancing AIs made me laugh, not just once... very well done, go on like this! :thumb:

those are models from Nameless_Voice - he has them (and quite a few other things i used) on his website - he really does an excellent job :)

edit: oh, and lakai - i emailed you back just a second ago :)

I must be a world class idiot . . . but how do you kill Red Death? I tried hacking that fello to death but he just wouldn't die, I threw the spiders at him too, but still no go. Any ideas? Other than the fact that Garrett is immune to the red death gas, even after half an hour:weird:, this mission is sweet! I adore the ambient music that plays after everyone dies, I found the sound file and played it on a continuous loop, lol. :thumb:

Exactly what Spiders did you throw at him? (Can't recall any throwable Spiders) :sweat:

As for the Red Death [SPOILER]Look for something in a bucket down that TrapDoor and around the Cemetary.[/SPOILER]

raetsel on 1/3/2004 at 08:32

yeah, garrett is mostly immune (because i can't stand time limits & getting killed slowly would give you one)

as for the red death...
[SPOILER]right before you exit out into the graveyard, there is a spider web with something useful for him behind it - you can't get it without slashing the web - there's also another in a crack beneath the large grave thing outside[/SPOILER]

edit: yeah, and what sluggs said :)
there are throwable spiders [SPOILER]spider eggs in a spider chest in the first room (the blue room)[/SPOILER]

:ebil: Muuuuuch better. The bastard's dead, and I think I set a personal record for the amount of damage received ever, even including my first time through Thief 2. I received 301 damage dealt that time, this level left me with 690.

I know it's been said before but . . . :laff: . . . I loved the dancing haunt! I was just wondering, did you get the motions from the robot in System Shock 2? When I read this thread and saw the bit about the haunt it was the first thing that came to mind. But you must have tampered with the motions if you did, I thought the haunt's dancing looked way better. :thumb:

Holy shit, you guys both answered in under 20 minutes? At midnight? I thought I wouldn't get an answer until the morning or something. I'd switched to the OMs already. I guess I'll return, but first . . .

I loved this FM to death!!!!!! I loved the haunt, the custom objects, and how most of the rooms where all 1 color. When I got stuck, I had to wait for the phone line to be free before I could come online for help (damn dial-up to hell!), so I took off and hid in a corner of the blue room and listened to the ambient music. I looove that ambient music to death! It's probably the best ambient music EVER! I had to swipe it from the .zip file so I have more Thiefy music to listen to when I'm brainstorming. This little FM gets :thumb::thumb:!

I can't get out of the party rooms!!! :laff:

the only thing that happens when I push that button in the pool is the table moving away....

edit: never mind... it just took at bit more pushing...:erm:

the motions i used were all in thief's motions.crf, but were unused by the game (what they were doing in there & why, i don't know, but glad they were - the macarena one still cracks me up even)

heh - well, it was later here than that (for sluggs too) :)

i wish i could remember what i cut that out from (was well over a year ago) - i'll have to check all my old backup file stuff & see if i can find the whole thing & update the readme

i'm glad you enjoyed it :)

@ Master Garrett : yes, seems a couple people have had this problem - fortunately pressing the button a few times does seem to get it to work - not sure why it doesn't work straight off for some (except maybe having to do with (http://www.ttlg.com/forums/showthread.php?s=&threadid=79622) traptimedrelay script - which is used in that spot)

I did a bit of checking through the sound files I pulled from FMs, and I'm pretty sure I tracked them down. The FM is Lord Alan's Basement, and there's 5 sound files, m04ring, m04lo, machlg05, machlg08, and machlg09. I think the only one I didn't hear in the FM was m04ring, it's a little clip that played just before m04lo in Lord Alan's Basement.
