If he gets spooked, like someone is coming to stop him (Alert level 3), he goes ahead and jumps.

Maybe something else scared him.

Well, with all those strange creatures it's possible! :laff:

and a small Jimmy bug. Everytime the father tries to take Jimmy off my hands (so to speak) the game crashes to the desktop. So, I, being the extremely patient person (yeah right) I am, decided to throw him over the balcony.

[SPOILER]watching the mother pass out made it worth it. The father wasn't around to catch her, so she took a header unto the pavement herself.[/SPOILER]

But that has nothing to do with my question, which is: [SPOILER]Someone mentioned an easter egg in the library. Is that when you release all the books from the backroom, or am I missing something else?[/SPOILER]

Thanks, it really has been a lot of fun to go and try other things that I missed the first time around...

Heh, great mission yo! Loved the Pratchett referenses. One question though:
That chained book in the library, is it the Necrotelecomnicon? :p
[edit]Also, needs more wizards going "yo!";)

I have the same problem... :(

Try dropping him when Dad runs up to you.

In Dromed, I break the 'Contains' link from Garrett to Jimmy. Then I add a meta-prop to Jimmy to destroy his body, and at the same time make the one Dad is carrying visible.

During beta testing I found a race condition, where Jimmy could get destroyed (with S&R) while the engine was making him physical again and placing him on the ground. It crashed.

I was pretty sure I fixed that one, it never happened during testing again.

So, try dropping Jimmy as Dad approaches you. Or hang on to him. Don't try to drop him while Dad bends down to pick him up.

I seem to have this weird problem-
In the cam vator part where the garrett and the floating mage are supposed to be fighting, the mage doesn't do anything, in fact his back turns to garrett, and garrett just runs around trying to reach him for 30 min.
I can't get past this point! Any suggestions??

Shadowspawn on 27/8/2003 at 00:18

That's weird. Never saw that before.

I'd guess I'd just try restarting the camvator. That's just about the end, so there's not much more than the actual attack.

I hate to go the Windows Help Desk route, but maybe you should reboot and then start Thief.

Sorry, I have no idea why it would break that way. You could just skip to the next mission...

Can anyone help me,I'm getting the message that I need the custom scripts. I've downloaded them and installed them in my fan mission directory and restarted the game but I keep getting the same message every time I try to open the door. I'm dying to play this mission, any ideas?

You've got the scripts in the wrong place. Unzip them directly into your T2 game folder, not the FM archive. That should fix it up for you. :)
