That's right! It's finished!

Thanks to TheNightTerror, Nedan and Logan for betatesting and New Horizon for lending his voice acting talent.

Edit: The mission may not function properly with all versions of gen.osm. PM with your e-mail if you want a gen.osm that works properly. Your scripts aren't working properly if [SPOILER]a scripted sequence isn't triggered when you pick up the book of the dead.[/SPOILER]

Edit: The archive on Thiefmissions now contains a working version of gen.osm.

The mission also requires Gaylesaver's bugfixed scripts. The one that is linked to in the readme apparently causes glitches. The bugfixed archive (UsrScriptT2_1x2BugFix.zip) can be found here:

Oh no, ah YEEEEEES

just wanted to leave for a refreshing evening in the "beer garden" after a very hot day here. :sweat: One beer from fridge should be enough now, i think....

Thank you, taffer :thumb:

Allways nice to see a new fm release, but after play this for five minutes i had just had enough, sorry.

I just want to play "thief" not "lara croft" if you get what i mean.
Jump, die, reload, jump, die , reload, jump, die , reload.
Know maybe i am just crap at playing, but after playing over 400 fm's i think i have some experience.
This may well be an outstanding fm after the jumping around but i'm afraid i will never fine out, shame.
I will come back later and see what other people think because the screen shots look excellent.

Uh, you're not supposed to jump :confused: . Seriously, look around.
Edit: I mean, Garrett says: "Can't go this way" for Chrissakes!

@thelostsoul, you haven't looked around hard enough. ;) There's no jumping necessary. If you really need help . . . restart the mission, and stay to the left. You should end up in a new section of woods, there's a narrow passageway behind some bushes, I believe, in the woods through there. No jumping necessary! :thumb:

Edit: Or, you know, Troutpack could beat me to the punch. :sweat:;):angel:

Hey that was really different! :cool: Great atmosphere. Got me creeped out more than a few times.

Towards the end though my frame rate got really bad but I was able to finish OK.

I was kind of expecting [spoiler]something grosser in the fridge...[/spoiler]

The audio was good as was the placement of G's quips. Wouldn't have been surpsised to see Norman Bates scurry on by.

A solid effort from Troutpack.

I've been in the cabin now and I'm wondering:

[SPOILER]Where is the key to the basement?[/SPOILER]

Thanks.

Thanks.

[SPOILER] Look in the bathroom. If there's nothing there, you have to do something else first.[/SPOILER]

:erm: How bad? In the first beta version, I had my framerate dipping well into the single digit range on a video card with 128 megs of memory, but I haven't had anything that bad happen since. Haven't played the final version yet.
