Returning a Favor (17/01/04)

Btw I forgot to ask, was this done on purpose? (https://drive.google.com/file/d/1TRhDcBSB_TI4S0IL7SB2WHYJU13mw941/view?usp=sharing)

There are like 3-4 hammerites that have the haunt model:weird:

AFAIK it's a Thief Gold FM so I assume that the replacement textures might not be available if you play the mission with Thief 1.

EDIT: See (https://www.ttlg.com/forums/showthread.php?t=78279&p=956211&viewfull=1#post956211)

This is the best worst mission I have played. The first half an hour is very tight but then it turns into so much running back and forth, the term 'busy work' came to my mind as I was running like a mad man for the umpteenth time past the cells. The last straw was the investigator's desk - you see the desk in his room does not count, it has to be the random one in the library. And then turns out that I'm missing the murder weapon, which now is like finding a needle in a haystack if you haven't found it by now. Thanks but no thanks :tsktsk:

The location of the murder weapon is one of the most creative ideas in fan missions I remember. I was standing right next it early in the mission and even noticed the audio cue, but only after reading a certain journal did things click. I had a big smile on my face when I pulled it out from where the murderer had hidden it.

By the way me playing this mission today and its inclusion in the Poll is a coincidence! But I could guess it would be one of the favorites after I saw the Poll.

And if you haven't played this mission yet....Why Not!

Fixes:

- final goal is now irreversible
- improved goal fulfilment
- pickpockets
- doors (warehouse door, scaling)
- AIs (game names, behaviour, conversation)
- misplaced objects (barrels, lever)
- minor fixes

I was waiting for this fix:

- removed object from turbine that was causing an unpleasant clanging noise :cheeky:
