hoi smithpd.
I agree with you about the objectives.
my betatesters allso pointed that out and I tried to make it so that a player should have to read about the new objectives.
I placed 2 more books that would trigger that the new objectives would show up. ( I was sure no one would miss all that books)
But as allways, players are so good in finding ways to play a mission in a different way than the one who makes it, did intent:cheeky:

Yes. :)
One thing that caused me to miss the reading was that I was ghosting the mission. So if the book was in bright light, I might bypass the area. That particular book can be bypassed easily by taking a route over the rafters. Indeed, I thought that route was the design intent. And sometimes I might reload after reading a book and not read it again after the reload. Eventually, I stopped ghosting, but by then the logic was wrong. Again, it would be possible to design it so the objectives cannot be accomplished until they are received. Say, you have an objective to read a book from the start, and reading the book brings up a ghost who gives you a key. That would force it. There are other ways.
Cheers.:)

Cavalorn, have you got Dromed installed?
In that case you can simply load the saved game and remove the Death Stage Property from the object.
If not, you can send me your saved game (e.g. via rapidshare) and I can remove the Death Stage for you. (Never tried that before, though)
Otherwise, you might have to start over. Sorry.

Oh lol,I should have known this.
Of course I have DromEd,I am even building a mission:cheeky:

deathstage 12 :p
once in a while it seems to pop up out of nowhere...
fidcall did mention it earlier allso. he sugested:
Try quicksave, exit Thief completely, then reload - sometimes clears deathstage I found.
I hope it will work for you...

hilight_clear

hilight_rem_prop DeathStage

It is still not working.:(
SinisterShadow on 21/6/2007 at 23:23
Could you zip up the saved game, put it up on rapidshare and send me the link? I'd like to take a closer look on this.

I think perhaps this deathstage 12 thing is an unnecessary concern. There are two fire talismans,[SPOILer]a fake one and a real one. The fake one has a problem in that water arrows do not hit it properly. But this does not matter. The fake one does nothing, and it cannot be picked up. Get close to the fake one, and you are dropped down to another area where eventually you can find the real one. That one works with the water arrows.[/SPOILer]At least that is the way it worked for me.
