Absolutely lovely - thank you!
Query out of curiosity: One expert:
[SPOILER]In the hint file, you say that you don't need the rope arrow on expert. But I never found a non-rope arrow way to get to the roof - is there a climbable tree somewhere that I missed?[/SPOILER]
Also:
[spoiler]The stats page mentioned a ton of loot (well over 2,000) - I assume that's just an error or did I miss a giant easter egg somewhere?[/spoiler]
Cheers!

The loot total for this mission is zero. The fixed ZIP file will reflect that in the endgame stats. As for the roof:
[SPOILER]You can get on the roof without roping. The smallish tree at the corner of the house by the front porch isn't climbable, but you can jump onto the top of it from the porch railing, and from there mantle onto the roof.[/SPOILER]

on normal the victorola wouldnt play the records
One of the records ("God Rest Ye Merry, Gentlemen") won't play because the WAV file for it is missing from the ZIP. That will be fixed later this morning when I can get the fixed version to Jason.

Here's specifically what's changed in v2.1:
1. The missing WAV file for "God Rest Ye Merry, Gentlemen" is now there.
2. The version of debrief.str, in the \intrface folder, is now correct. This will restrict the debriefing stats to only what I originally intended.
In short, it's not absolutely necessary to download the new version unless you just want to. My apologies to everyone for the goof... I know how the debrief.str issue happened (I got it working just before release and forgot to put the latest version in the ZIP), but have no idea how the WAV file disappeared. Just a general quirk of the universe or something I guess.
One of these years I'm going to release a mission and get it right the first time. :rolleyes:

Great fun mission Yandros :)
I loved the Christmas tree lights and the new objects were amazing.
Thanks.

I love doing all the Christmas stuff in this fm.....not so much in real life. :)
I can't seem to see the rope arrow...up ladder over to edge by fireplace.........can't see it.
Help?
I went back and restarted on expert and the arrow was there.
I'm a happy camper once again. :cheeky:

OK, I am obviously -- yet again -- a blind imbecile.
Where's the keys? (note -- playing on expert)

Ponterbee Demagogue- you found all 5 cookies on Expert?!? Congratulations, you broke my record of 4!
Well, one qualification, I found one cookie [SPOILER]up in the rafters in the living room near the fireplace - but then later I got hurt, reloaded to a point before that, and then forgot to re-get that cookie. It was driving me nuts after I found the other 4, and then when I finally caved in and read the spoilers, I was floored: but I got all of those! Checked again, and there was that dam&!#n cookie still up there!! [/SPOILER]
The one I laughed at was [SPOILER]the cookie behind the tree in the backyard. After I noticed the painting under the deck, I started backing up to see if anything else was under there (lots of backing up and zooming in this game for me). And then I just look up and there's a cookie hanging on the tree! :joke: [/SPOILER] That one was pure dumb luck...
Gosh, this was fun.
