Thanks Ali, i´m still missing the gemstone collection, you mentioned Baker´s, but i only found a jewelbox on a keeper balcony...whatam i missing here?

Remember the inn-keeper said: "I had to hide it in the north western corner of the city in front of the baker's shop, high in the niche in the wall where a transformer is installed."
Go to the baker's door, turn around and look at the opposite wall. You can hear a transformer ticking above your head. Frob the gloves in the inventory and climb the wall.

I cannot for the life of me figure out how to get inside the mayor's house! I see a couple of doors: One doesn't frob, and the other is blocked by a huge box that I cannot move and doesn't seem to be smashable. I don't see any wood or gratings into which I can pound a vine arrow, or any frobbable sewer hole I can use to enter from below. Can I buy a clue?

Thanks,

Dafydd

It'll cost you a pint then. If I remember correctly which I might well not. :)

Hint. Look in the square where the sleeper chamber is.

Spoiler. Look up at the balcony and you'll see a place for a rope, then jump to the pipes.

By the way, did you have any trouble ghosting the mission? I managed to ghost it myself and I'm a lousy ghoster, so it should be possible.

Thanks Ali, i was sure there was something near that transformer, the only thing i didn´t know was how to use the climbing gloves...Mission Finished, thanks for this mission it was fun ;)

I just finished playing through this very enjoyable mission. Well done Ali, well done :thumb:
I liked all the small puzzles, hidden secrets, and the actual story of the mission very much!

This FM doesn't work on 64bit XP. It crashes as soon as it is supposed to render the game.

That's odd. It worked fine on mine. Perhaps it's something else maybe?

It killed me to wait this long to play this one (finals week and all that), but holy F was this worth the wait!

Hope those went well!!! Also hope you don't think you're going to get away with a review of half a dozen sentences. :)

Thanks, and I liked yours too. Especially the ending!

The FM itself has nothing to do with it. Do the other FMs work? Have you ever had any problems with the custom scripts? What are the obj_min and obj_max values in your dark.cfg?

I finally found enough free time to finish playing this. Wow! Fantastic mission, Ali! I agree with The Mike on all points. I'm not the biggest fan of all-undead missions, but there was nothing about this mission that I didn't like. There were too many memorable moments to recount here but the AI motions were outstanding, and the story was well done. I ghosted the mission and really enjoyed that experience, especially figuring out how to get through the dock area in the beginning. Again, well done and thank you!
