This one has been in development on and off for about 2 years though I kept getting distracted by contests and the like!

It's far from perfect but I want to move on now. It takes a little time to get going but hopefully everyone will enjoy it. :cool:

I was a little confused when I saw the release date of February 29th 2004. :confused: :)

I remember beta testing this long ago.

I must be insane. I'm two hours into trying to ghost this thing. Let's just say I didn't find the blackjack when I was supposed to, and since I had already gotten so far, now I'm ghosting all the way.

I need some key hints. I need keys for

[spoiler]
The jail
The officer's room next to the jail
The safe in the purse-carrying guy's room
[/spoiler]

A nudge in the right direction would be much appreciated.

Hmmmm you may have been affected by the "man stuck on table for no reason" bug. See earlier in this thread for discussion and solution of this problem.

Has anyone:

[SPOILER]Killed a rat down in the crypt and picked up the corpse?

Found evil Dewdrop?

Found the grizzly skeleton in the bell tower?

Wondered what the monkey heads are all about?[/SPOILER]

1 - yes but it didn't go in the inventory so I chucked it, good description tho ;)
2 - yes and got out alive :sly: then went back and picked up the mines that you threw at me when I opened the safe :ebil: ... you can go off people you know ;)
3 - yes I thought it was quite sad really
4 - well kind of, I mean you could have used anything else really :weird:

was there a hint I missed about the central candle when dealing with the bone king bod, basically got everything ready and rushed past him did the deed then I was safe in the transporter did get clipped for some damage in the process tho, I was wondering for aaaaaaaaaaaages how I got to that taffin ladder on the belltower as well

highly enjoyable mission, only problems were the dead zone in the churchyard that I fell into, I restarted and stayed close to the church after that, then I managed to complete the main objectives without finding the main crypts and bone king stuff as the tomb after the cloudvator didn't work properly, the coffin lifted to the ceiling but the floor sections only lifted up to the height of the central section which never moved so I couldn't get into the well underneath, so I restarted again and avoided finding charity until I'd got everything else.

is there a way of opening the big cross with the coins without ending the mission, there's probably nothing there but I'm dying of curiosity

final comment I really don't like spawning new characters into a game once it's started as it's really difficult to do it well, I hated it in the city sections of TDS. for example I'd clear out a room then start on one down the hall only to have an AI spawn in the room I've just cleared and start walking down the hall towards me and I'm thinking "wtf where did he come from that room is empty!", if they'd spawned outside and behaved as if they were returning that would have helped the immersivity ... is that a word ? but timing would have been more difficult I guess, well anyway I found it distracting but it was a minor point ... they could all be in a meeting in an office off the side of the chapel leave one at a time when triggered and the last one out has the key to the door ... that could work :erm: .. just an idea but excellent mission anyway

rates a good solid :thumb: on my thumbometer, thanks for all the effort

this thread is getting too large to find answers in...
I'm in the crypts, and have found the last monkey head; how do I move Catherine's sarcophogus?
I still never entered the meeting room or the workshop... how?
what is the ladder outside the bell tower for?

you need to find 2 candles (you probably have one of them already, the other is in the crypt) and place them in the holders in front of the catherine statue in the main church area, as for the ladder you'll get to that later in the natural course of the mission

well, I got to it... is there anything else to do but fall to the ground from there?
I still need into the meeting room and the workshop
I also still need info on the 3 members...
I heard something about a secret gallery somewhere, where do I find that?

Check on page 4 as all secrets were listed on that page of the thread. :D

P.S. Any news on a slow down fix yet?
