Rope arrows... - by Palantir

Well this thread was good for a laugh! :) If only because I could envision it actually happening. Hop on a rope and have it buck you halfway across the city.
But yeah, I noticed the ropes were a bit buggy in TG as well. Although, for the most part it was my own fault. Hop on the rope, and not get my hand off the jump button fast enough and hop off just as fast. The only places I had *real* trouble with it was the bonehoard - that one rope to get out of the burrick tunnels and into the tunnel that'd get you into the main catacombs. I rarely can attach properly to that one for some reason. Unless of course, I am aiming for the tunnel itself, then I'll probably catch hold of the rope and dangle instead. lol The other place was in the Maw - just before you get to Constantine's room. You have to climb up and climb down the other side. For some reason I have a lot of trouble with those ropes and spend too much time just trying to get on them and stay on long enough to climb.
But yeah, I usually do a quicksave as well before I have to use a rope or ladder. Or in the Lost City where you have to do the tarzan trick. . .I'd save on each rope. Just so I didn't have to repeat it more than I *wanted* to.

I also do the Tarzan trick at the First City Bank and Trust level in Thief 2. It's really fun!! The big area just before the vault on the second floor and I want to get to the adjacent platform just above the Robotic Child of Karras. Aaaaah the joys of being a Thief! :D

ok, this is a bit off topic, but has anyone compiled a understandable means of "re-adding" the rope arrow into T3. i remember a topic about it a bit back, but i never remember finding an understandible tutorial. also, how do you run OM's in the T3 editor (i wanna play The Cradle w/ even MORE puppets! theyre the only thing that scares the shit outta me!)? :sly:

bitchin, thanks :thumb:
{EDIT}
Ok, one problem. I cant seem to add properties to the Rope Arrow (the problem is MaxItemStack or whatever it is, when i right click, i get two greyed out menu items that i cant use.). Can someone give me a solution to this predicament?
