They're saying you should have done this beforehand, and with experienced testers.

Unfortunately i'm new in this business of game designing and new here on TTLG forums. I didn't know missions can be tested here, i only have account for 3 months. This mission was finished almost a year ago long before i become a member here. I tested this mission with a few friends and they liked it a lot. I worked alone at this mission with no help available only Komag guide and a few other guides.

The maps located in intrface\miss20\old are good. I've renamed them as they are in intrface\miss20\english, then copy-replace them from old to english folder.

The map issue is likely caused by this mission being developed using OldDark and thus they are palettized images in .pcx format. All of those issues would be resolved if they were saved as .png files, which NewDark supports for maps. but then also no one could use them in an OldDark install.

You are right Yandros :) I already did that last night. In a few days i will release an update with .png files instead of .pcx. Still, as you said, this will only can be played through the New Dark which is ok i think giving the fact almost no one is using Old Dark these days. I will pack the pcx files in a separate folder in the intrface folder/mission20/english so anyone who is still using Old Dark can switch the .png files with .pcx

Respect! That's Dromed on hard mode. I don't think I'd have got very far when I made my first mission without the help of many people here on ttlg and the vast archives of threads in TEG about how to do things or explaining bugs and pitfalls.

I'm glad you had a nice experience frobbin hood:) Thank you for you words!

Bit stuck now. 3hrs in, and I cant find Raputo. I've been hanging around the Mansion, casino, mages place and tavern but no sign.
There are a few doors I can't get into - near the Opera House, but I think that's because most folk are in the water!
Is there a key for the metal door near the Garden?
And which is Orwell's house?

Raputo is patrolling between his mansion, tavern, mages place and mages casino(that is near mages place). In that places he pauses for a few minutes then resume patrolling. You can wait for him in one place until he show up or ambush him on the streets. He is patrolling only in his quarter still, not outside.
Orwell house is in opera quarter, near the garden. I think it's that metal door you said you can't open. There is a guard patrolling from inside the house to the outside. Wait for him until he open the door and enter the house. You can block the door from closing with your body. That metal door has no key so that is the only way you can enter the house.

Thanks. I think Raputo is lost! I've been in the tavern for about 20 mins.

The guard is dead - so I cannot get the mask. I got him (and most of the guards) to chase me to my House - the guards there don't like intruders!
