Great Mission Sledge! I haven't been scared like that in a long time. Took me 2 1/2 hours to finish it.
p.s. I liked the Acolyte Lancer letter!

Well, i tried playing it on a lower difficulty (Hard), and it runs with a barely playable framerate as opposed to an unplayable one on Expert. I think the FPS drop has to do with the vast amount of objects that exist in the level.
Also, while playing on Hard I came across what appeared to be an untextured body (it looked like the guy in the blooper mission). Was this intended or is it a bug?

Northon,
I got one of those "white" guys, too, with no 'skin' on him when I downloaded The Order of the Vine the first time. I downloaded it again, and it went away. Also, I noticed one right after I had installed that texture upgrade that no_oRGy did for us. That time, I just redid the texture install and everything worked fine again. It's probably just a glitch, I hope.
As for the mission: I finished it. It's one of my favorites. Seems like I've had to add quite a few missions to my 'favorites' lately. But this one is great! Some of the creature interactions were amazing, as well as some of the modifications you did to their behaviors.
TOP NOTCH FM.

Cool, glad you guys like it. The white skin guy is definitely nothing in the mission. All of the AI that have new skins have "higher" creatures on the obj hierarchy with default skins, meaning that if somehow a skin got misplaced they should revert to another skin and should look normal anyways. The framerate is a little low for me in the beginning, but is fine after that. I'll see if I can fix up a version that will solve that completely very soon.

Update: Well I didn't try doing anything but "Warrior" until today....I tried both Cutpurse and....er...the other one, and guess what?...no framerate problems! It goes from optimal on the lower difficulty levels to unplayable on "Warrior".....I don't understand what's causing this...any ideas Sledge?...

I can't think of anything articulate to say so [insert random praising here]
Outstanding level.

http://www.ttlg.com/forums/ubb/biggrin.gifI haven't had any framerate problem at all, its probably not a problem for most people.
Oh and I got the passcode already after completing Warrior and sloppily completing Cutpurse. Very clever hints.

Basically any object that's not used on a given difficulty is destroyed when you do not play that difficulty. This drives the overall object number way down when you actually start the game. I never counted, but I would imagine some difficulties have more objects than others (the "real" total is somewhere around 2500 I think). That might be what's causing it.
Glad most of you are enjoying it!

One question, Sledge: where did you get the title Inverted Manse from? Maybe I can't see it, but I couldn't figure out what was inverted. I'm assuming that a 'manse' is a type of crypt maybe.
No_Coke_Pepsi on 5/4/2001 at 03:10
Sledge, I just played "The Cult of the Resurrection" last night, in preparation for its sequel "The Inverted Manse."
"CotR" is one of the best FM's I've played (I don't know why it took me so long to get around to it), and I'm thinking it will enhance the experience of the new FM.
