Well, I finished it on expert, but I had very little idea what I was doing or why, like most of the other players. Without this forum, I could not have done it. Even then, there was no signal, like objective or quest complete, to indicate success at any stage other than the voodoo symbols, which gave some useful feedback. I just did all the things mentioned above and then it ended. I enjoyed playing the mission, but I think it would have been a lot better with some more feedback, such as real objectives provide. BTW, I got 1115 of 1130 loot. Some things I encountered that do not agree with previous suggestions were:
[SPOILER]The stool alone was insufficient to get the voodoo symbol over the non-existent umbrella. I had to stack something else on the stool using the stack-em-up method. The lantern worked well. Without the stack-em-up trick, I think I could not have done it.[/SPOILER][SPOILER]I could not land on the ledge when leaping to get the ring. I had to be in perfect position on the vine and then snag the ring in mid-flight while leaping.[/SPOILER][SPOILER]Initially, I had great difficulty getting onto the vine to get the keys. I had to jump over to the frame around the starting sewer. Later in the mission, for some reason, it became easier.[/SPOILER][SPOILER]As Zaccheus says, the toolbox has no effect in Expert. I was fooled by the water valve. It turned a couple of times and nothing happened, so far as I know. The last time I turned it, it became frob inert and the water leak stopped.[/SPOILER]

:D
Any other locations where to find this fm, the link on the first page has the file removed due to hit/download max quota being reached.
Thanks.

downloaded 3 times and it is not seen as valid with Winzip or DarkLoader 4.1 and 4.2. Can somebody re-package the zip file and test it?

thanks for the link. trying to download, the server is busy. will try again later.

Thanks, will try again. Hopefully this copy will not cause Winzip to say it is invalid, possibly part of a multi-part archive , spanned archive.
Will let you know if any troubles.

I'm currently updating this mission. I've listened to all your comments and most of them will be rectified.
There's much i've already fixed. Some of you have had trouble with certain things, things like reaching the sign above the table and the leaky pipe...
There's a couple of crates to use for the sign and, as hinted in the readme, "Look at the source of the problem" you only have to look directly at the source of the leak. (There are hidden markers that activate things when looked at)
No comments from OttoJ55/Yandros? :wot: That's it, i've fallen out with you taffers!:weird:
I'll 'ave ye later.:sly:
