I don´t understand why i can´t run this mission, i have the latest version of garret loader including t3 launcher and runned this mission through Gl but when downloading to the game it crashes:p , i had this problem with "cabbot" but already managed to play it because i only download yesterday the lastest version of garretloader and that solved the "cabbot" problem, but didn´t solved the problem with this mission:confused:

any suggestions?

Thanks

Not sure why you need to mention T3launcher, but which version of the file do you have: the compressed (small) one doesn't work - because I have no idea what's wrong with it to fix it - so you need the big uncompressed version.

But really, beyond that we're going to need some more information: is GL crashing when it unzips the level? Is the game crashing when you try to load the main menu, or when you try to load the level after the briefing screen? What language are you trying to play on? Are you playing on a regular game install or an editor-ised version of the game? (Do you have an editorised version, did you use T3Launcher to change back to the game version before you installed the mission via GL or after?...)

This could be really simple, or really complicated. Sadly.

Now it worked with the uncompressed file, nice mission:thumb: , beautifull architecture, i noticed that one of the rooms reminded me one of the areas from the citywatch station on t2, nice gameplay, though like i noticed on "Cabot" there was several areas with no ambient or music sound, as fm author when i play a mission without ambients sounds it seems as if i was playing the mission through the editor, but that doesn´t mean the mission is bad without it , but its also true that with music and ambients the mission gets more rich, complete, it gives more impact, emotion, i could writte a lot of pages of the importance that music has in a mission, but i hope you´ll figure out for yourself how important it is, anyway good work on this mission, i´m looking foward for your next mission, there are so few t3 mission out there, we need more. I love t1, t2, and t3 in the same way:thumb:

There should be some ambient sounds (most prominently the Viktrola though), but I deliberately left having any music out because I don't have anything I thought fitted the mission, and I didn't add any more ambient sounds for much the same reason: generic sounds used wrongly is worse to me as an idea than having no sounds.

You aren't the only one to complain about it though, so that's cool. Just something else to work on (well, to beat STiFU on the issue of) for the Cabal project.

If you want i can always send to you ambient musics, just let me know, if you still want some ambient musics for this mission i can find the perfect match for it, i´ve got a lot of productions from great musician artists.

Is there any reason I would want the big uncompressed version?

The compressed file is up at (http://www.shadowdarkkeep.com) :)

whoever is changing these links to the magic beans picture ( (http://www.ttlg.com/forums/magicbeans/) ) can you please stop, I mean ok the guy may be banned, but why punish the rest of us by changing links that happen to point to his site, we all know where his site is, it's just having the link is a little quicker when a new mission is released and frankly changing them is just petty and irritating

Thank you, Ziemanskye, for the mission.
It's nice and I enjoyed playing it. I always play missions ghosting. I like to play in this way because it's not funny to run through empty houses. There is more adrenaline rush and this is what I need.
I liked the guards. Their routes are so long and you just cannot watch them all the time. That's cool! I'm expecting a guard after all corners.:) The whole building is a big maze like Impurities in the mix. It's good to explore nice places. The lights are cool and the helm of the hammer. :)
It's good that there are people like you. You keep Thief alive by making fan missions. Thank you!

I have been searching the library for the key and getting nowhere. What am I missing?

Ziemanskye on 24/1/2008 at 07:34

The key isn't in the library, it's in the office.

Since it's one of only two things in the entire mission with loot-glint, it shouldn't be too hard to find.

There's not too many folks on these forums who could change the link like that. Please stop.
