A very nice little mission, Russ! (Finally got around to playing it)

you'll have to write a tutorial russ, explain how that switch trick works, can any guard flip any switch back on, or just ones in there areas, do they actually watch the switch, or are they reacting to its situation in some other way?
It uses a combination of Telliamed's HighlySuspicious and NV's NVSuspiciousTrap scripts. The lights become suspicious when they're turned off, and when an AI notices it an AIWO link is added telling him to go to the nearest of a certain marker, perform a motion and frob the nearest switch. For the ceiling fixtures I should have modified their vision cones (they didn't notice the light was off), but instead I put an extra unrendered suspicious light at eye level below the fixture. Because it's all implemented at the archetype level, it would work for any guard and any light (if they could ride the lift up and down).
Sorry for the techie OT, we'll take it to the TEG if more discussion is needed.

there's a way to have the AI turn the light on if it's off and not turn it off if it's on, basically you need to make a switch that never sends an off signal using signal filters and use that as the suspicions object for the AI to frob, this then sends an on signal to the light switch which then turns the light on it's a little more complicated than that but thats pretty much it
I'll dig out my notes and send you a copy if you like

The one in the basement, across from the gate... What does it do exactly? It ticked off, but I couldn't find anything after.
Anyway, I'm guessing the graphics is what made this mission almost 9 Mb ? I've played some 1.5 Mb missions in the past and they could get pretty large & take hours upon hours to play... Cool little mission though :cool:

It's easy to miss if you've turned out the light.

Yes, there are a lot of hires object textures weighing in at around 6MB uncompressed, plus the music is about 1.5MB.

Looking foward for more

Wonderful mission... Great textures. I lived the impression I am playing Thief Deadly Shadows. I also liked the guards that keep turning the light on after I turned it off. Also the woman guard on third floor was a pain in the back (I liked it). Congratulation. Keep up the good work
P.S The guard on second floor was transparent to my blackjack, but was easy to avoid. (I mean I was hitting the guard but the blackjack just passed through him with no effect)
Yandros on 20/1/2009 at 02:43
That's very odd. What difficulty did you play on? On Hard and Expert, he's supposed to be no-KO (you hear a clank and alert him if you try to blackjack him).
