I really enjoyed this FM. I didn't have any crashes, but there was something peculiar with the [SPOILER] secret door in the attic. I could see the loot through the gaps in the door. I don't think it is a problem with this FM, because ever since I installed Dedx one of the secret doors objects has changed to one with gaps and thick bars. [/SPOILER]
About the slowfall potion: [SPOILER] I didn't get the slowfall potion after drinking the wine, rather I had it during the whole game. [/SPOILER] :D

I've been seeing that secret door problem in a lot of FM. I have Dedx installed also. So is it a Dedx object or texture that is causing it or is it
something the FM authors are not doing in Dromed that is causing it to show up?

After drinking the wine, weapons and potions are temporarily removed from your inventory. (For what should be a fairly obvious reason.) Then they're given back to you and that's what you're noticing. You've had the potion the whole time. I didn't want someone to die right at the beginning of the mission just because they accidentally fell off the wall.
The writing in the german book are actual notes written by Mahler in the 10th Symphony manuscript.

"Almschi" refers to his wife, Alma Mahler.

It is something in Dedx, because if you install Dedx, and then play the OM Ambush, you will notice that the secret door in Garrett's apartment has become this same door. It would not be too hard to put the correct model back in and then save the Dedx01.gam file.
I have a question about the [SPOILER] two bells. Do they do anything besides chime? I was hoping that the large portculis would open after ringing both bells. [/SPOILER]

I can't even find the attic, where is it? Hints, suggestions, or spoilers accepted. I tried to rope arrow up a couple of places outside but no luck.
I guess the 3rd secret is out for me Unless I restart. B/J'd the two people in the kitchen. :-(

The attic is next to the room with the flowerbox outside the open window.

They're supposed to alarm the guards. I'm guessing you had knocked them out before then.

This may not work for anyone else, but I finally got past all my crash to desktop events by not dousing any of the torches or gas lamps. Apparently, (and perhaps only on my grouchy system) the mission would crash as soon as a guard noticed that a light was out. I could do anything else - knock out guards, break windows, dance on the parapets, but if a guard saw one of those nasty, unlit lamps, BLAMO! :grr:
Otherwise, it was a perfectly spledid mission. :thumb: I hope I can play it again someday without my shadow.

Thanks! I have already been there. Just found a rope arrow later on and suspected there might of been another Attic.
