Of course, and like it. I've played all of your missions, except 2 yet which are based on Pinkdot's projects.

Today I started to revert the mission to color (in fact it's a simple work, I need to replace the textures and re-add the light colors). Both versions (b&w and color), will be available soon with some fixes, including that mummy correction at sun book chamber.

There is supposed to be a secret on the second floor of the King's Cross, but I can't find it. By "second floor," I'm not sure which is meant: the walkable level at about the level of the skulls that poke out from the cross (one of which is a different secret) or the not-really-navigable section in between that level and the floor level; but I can't find any secret in a "ruined tomb" at either of those elevated levels. Can someone give me a hint, please?

Edit: Ah, I understand -- "second floor" means the second corridor you come to, but still on the same vertical level as the switch behind the banner in the previous corridor that raises the grillwork. Nevermind!

Thanks,

Dafydd

Time for an update and a color bonus version!

(http://www.ttlg.com/forums/showthread.php?t=140005&p=2141491&viewfull=1#post2141491) CHECK THEM

If you ask me, the black@white version is better :thumb: .

Sensut, another suggestion for ghosters, if I may.

Those "ruined tomb" secrets are cool, but they have one serious drawback for those of us who like to ghost missions: Smashing the doors is louder than all get out. It alerts every AI for miles around -- even those in other FMs I'm not even playing!

I was in the corridor that surrounds the elevator down to the dancing hall; I waited until both the zombie and the skelly were at the far end (I had to wait through several patrol cycles); but when I smashed the door, both of them alerted nevertheless, full hunting alerts. That's a ghost bust.

That's not the only instance; the secret in the "second floor" (second corridor) leading to the King's Cross is right next to a stationary AI... who of course cannot help but be alerted when Garrett smashes the door standing about three feet away!

That puts ghosters into a quandry: Either we must skip a large number of secrets, as well as the loot, gems, and useful items found inside; or else we must go ahead and bust a nice ghosting run just to get a secret.

I have three possible fixes for your next mission:


* Make the doors crumble noiselessly into dust or a puff of magical smoke.
*
* Make the sound as loud as you want... but more like an ambient noise or a Garrett voice over, that only the player can hear -- not the AIs.
*
* Make the noise somewhat softer and the AI not quite so acute of hearing; then send nearby AIs on a patrol that takes them, at some point, out of earshot of the ruined tomb. That way they don't alert when Garrett smashes the door.


I prefer number three, because there's no bizarre change to basic physics; we just have to wait until the coast is clear before making noise. But any of these fixes would have made the game more ghostable.

(There is an ineradicable core of non-ghostability in this FM anyway, which could have been fixed with not too much trouble: We're required to kill the two musicians -- but there is no way of doing so silently. But that's a subject for another post. I would love to beta/ghost-test your next mission, Sensut; I always try to ghost missions if at all possible; and I have beta-tested quite a few FMs in the past, probably more than twenty.)

Cheers,

Dafydd
