Welcome to our museum, dear visitor! Here you'll find the latest exhibition concerning things you can achieve when it comes to texture/material capabilities of the Flesh engine. All the effects may seem a bit exagerated as the cubemap rotates with the object, but in normal conditions it stays still. Have a nice tour!

I need help loading this one. I am using FMSel 1.1.2. Material Museum shows up in the list of available missions. When I try to start it, Blue Heron Inn loads instead. Any ideas on how to prompt the game to load Material Museum?

By the way, (http://ladyjo1.free.fr/thief/spip.php?article693) Lady Jo's site seems to be the only one left that hosts this demo. Mirrors would be greatly appreciated.

EDIT - Updated file to restored version

The file is missing the entry.gmp file and the readables are missing, Snobel has sent a PM to Judith hoping he has a fixed version which includes the original readables on an old HD, if not Snobel should be able to supply a fixed version which includes the entry.gmp.

Until then this demo does not work.

The file at Komag's site is a damaged zip, and the one at Lady Jo's appears to contain whatever files can be extracted from that damaged archive. :(

Unfortunately Judith (who now goes by peter_spy) didn't have a backup. With permission I've recreated the startup map and added some minimal readables, so that at least you don't get error messages... The restored version is (https://ln5.sync.com/dl/9d5a8a570/eb2t2ueu-feaj2khr-cfxq6t5n-b7dgzmcn) here.

Thanks for fixing this :thumb:

I confirm the restored version of Material Museum loads with FMSel 1.1.2. I checked all the readables and encountered no errors.

I really appreciate all you do for the T3 community, snobel! :D

I've fixed my link with the updated version.
