There is no alternative. There was an alternative designed, but It was cut off while missions building progressed due to some other neccessities. Sorry for that, but
the ledge is the only way. Try to pass this part using nicked's tip posted (

It's definitelly doable, but difficult, I am aware of that :erg: As I wrote earlier there was an alternative way planned, but it was lost in the mission building process.
It was sufficient to make the blasted ledge 1 unit large....
Sorry but I tried everything. Jumping, crawling, face up, down....
It seems that something is blocking me at the beginning of the ledge.
I tried not 20, but 50 times.
It's a pity, because it was really a very nice mission. :(

about the ledge:
[SPOILER]try to run while at the same time holding your "go right "key
once ghost explained that to me, it was no problem to do it over and over again...

Am I not supposed to be able to pick up most of the woden crates ? I replaced (after backing up ) the file the readme tells me to. I just don't want to get to deep into the mission and find out it's broken.

Yup most of the woden crates are unfrobbabable.
Nice little mission for a first time out. :cool:

[SPOILER]That tiny ledge prety much ruined what could have been a good mission. Some of us don't like trying the same thing over and over and over and over and over. Couldn't there have been a wood lift over the door insted of a metal one ? And a ever so well hidden rope arrow in the midst. [/SPOILER]I'll keep trying a bit more :grr: Thanks for making it though. Don't get me wrong. I do apreiciate that.

If you face forward (facing the wall), looking just ever so slightly to the left and then press forward, you can move along the edge easily.

Your plan worked. Thanks. I had to jump to the ledge to make it work though.

Hey, flying_hope - thank you for mirroring :)
Lady Rowena: sorry about the ledge. I think I will name it the Stupid Ledge officially, definitelly it's bad news that it spoils fun of playing The Box to so many players. I hope all players will find some method sufficient for their movement controls to pass this obstacle. If I ever use this kind of design again, I really must give some other paths for the player to walk around it.
Lightningline: Crates can't be moved around in The Box. It's not a bug. Sorry for everyone who like to use them.
I'm really happy of the comments i'm finding in this thread, thanks that you bother to write few words of your opinions about the mission. It's very encouraging. It's the authors main reward for his work on FM's - players satisfaction and when they like things in your mission, which you like too - isn't it? :)
About the second part - continuation of the story:
I started building second mission - post office area. But it's in very early stage, in fact I think I will redesign it completelly. I think I started too ambitious in matter of space - if I start very huge mission then probably I won't finish it at all. I have less time then ever now for doing anything for fun (and besides Dromed's devilish nature it's still fun creating something with it)... So probably I will start with some smaller plan of this second mission and hope that I will finish it. Anyway I don't think it will be finished in less than a year :(
