Hello, I am so excited to announce that my mission Retaliation is ready to be downloaded!!! I have been working on it for a while, and I had a great team of beta testers and I would like to give thanks especially to Sluggs, he helped me so much lately, so thank you :cheeky: So here it is, my mission: I hope you guys enjoy it. It is by far my best mission and I am very proud of it.

It was as I read the 'Rent Past Due!!!' notes that realisation finally dawned on me.

I was robbing my own apartment.

Garrett had a father... (part 1)
Who gave him a magic flute...? (part 2)

Maybe we're not thinking of the same Garrett......... ;)

This is a very nice FM. I love the size of it and also the design of the Mansion - It looks very nice in there. :D I noticed the new parts you have added since i last Beta tested it but a few things got missed. There are some pictures that are not flush with the walls and there are still some banners back-to-front. It's my fault, i should have offered to look at it again for one last time, it's just that i am having a break away from Dromed right now. :( Still, maybe i can update it for you later on? I could add a new Moon, fix those pictures, fix missing RoomBrushes, there's still a brush missing on the top, left hand window at the front of the Mansion, at the start. Apart from those, this shouldn't spoil anyone's enjoyment of the mission and i'm sure they'll love this mission as much as i do. You have done a great job, you should be proud. :thumb:

Oh, what happened to the AI? Most of them can't be frobbed! Did you do that or is it some bug?

What's next then?

PS. Lazarus did a real good job on that briefing. I'd love to know how he made that lightning. :thumb:

I'm having a lot of fun so far! Thanks for the great mission! Only one bug to report, which may affect other taffers: [SPOILER]I killed Castor by blackjacking him while I was invisible, then hacking him to death with my sword. The first indication of trouble was that the objective didn't tick off. Then, a little later I found the book that changed objectives, only problem was my objectives didn't. I got the message "New Objectives" but none appeared. I am guessing the "Kill Castor" objective was what was supposed to change? If so, it might be a good idea to warn players not to kill him.[/SPOILER]

Where's Castor? [SPOILER] If he's the guy dressed like a Thief in Castor's private rooms, then the objective didn't work for me. If he's not, where do I look for him? Also, what does the gold key that appears on the floor in front of the door into the room where you find the Gem unlock?[/SPOILER] This is a very fun mission! :)

Nightwalker: [SPOILER]That's the guy I killed before the problem with the new objectives, so I think it was Castor. Also, according to a readable in the area the teleporter can only be used by Castor, and that thief used it during one of my failed attempts. I think he was supposed to get away, and our heroic author just didn't realize how bloody minded taffers can get.:ebil:[/SPOILER]

[spoiler]I had one problem where i could not pick up some bodies. Also when i confronted Castor, he ran back into his room and since i didn't see where he went, i can only assume he went into his transporter. Does anyone know how to switch off the alarms i've set them off and it's annoying me now.[/spoiler]

Great mission BTW. :)
