I'm an idiot. I can't figure out what to change to skip missions. I got this through Steam, and my user.cfg just has this:

mission_map 1,2,3,4,5,15,6,7,16,9,17,10,11,12,13,14,18

There doesn't seem to be anywhere in the Dark.cfg file either. I read earlier tonight (can't remember where) how to change it, but I just glanced over it thinking "I remember how to do that". Except I remembered for T2, not TG. What I'd like to do is see the blooper mission, I've forgotten what's in it. I know it's 18.

On an unrelated note, I made it through Bafford's in under 2 hours, Hard difficulty (and that's with a few smoke breaks, etc). Not too bad for not having played it for about 10 years or so. When I got T2, I put Gold away and never touched it again.

Thanks guys :)

Yeah, it's a true Easter Egg coding trick that while the Blooper Reel is actually mission 18, to access it in the game, you reference it as mission 16 by adding this line in user.cfg:

starting_mission 16

And when you are done with the Blooper Reel, you either delete that line, or you can save it for later by just adding a semicolon to the beginning of it:

;starting_mission 16

And as Albert said, you can also change the "16" to another number to jump straight to the mission you want (remembering that 16 and 18 are switched in the file).


The Ctrl+Alt+Shift+End trick is only good for ending a mission and getting to the next one, but it will never get you to the Blooper Reel that way. You have to be within the mission first, every time, to use that skip, and have to click through the End Stats, press Enter once or twice to skip the briefings/cutscenes, click through the Stores for the missions that have them, and finally start the mission, so even if you could get to the Blooper Reel that way, it would take awhile. :bored:

starting_mission 16 will put you at the 16th mission in misson_map row (zero-based), which is mission #18 according to your first post.

Not being clear-cut is why it's a true Easter Egg in the video game sense. It's hidden, not obvious.
