Might wanna send it to the other mirrors to ease jasons bandwidth :)

It's not as bad as it used to be:

I guess you can tell when the mission came out. The huge spike is the nightly backup run.

I was head over heels this morning when I downloaded this mission. :sly:
But boy, oh boy does it annoy me. :grr: There are too many deja vus to my liking. And far too many tilefloors to even make it fun. The Guards are far too keen to make a good impression on their captain. They hear me draging my feet a mile away. :tsktsk:
So I'll put this mission on the shelf for a week or so. Or more. :laff:

[SPOILER]Why don't I just hit the showers and grab a beer. :cheeky:[/SPOILER]

I don't mind the marble floors or the guards , however the bots are a real pain in the ass with out enough water arrows . :erg:

Come on somebody take pity on me. I hate math riddles. Somebody please, just give me the combination. Also where is all the loot? I have barely 1400 and it says you have to have 5000. Am I missing a whole section of the game somehow. I haven't gone out the back with the guard by the lamp in the garden, I firured that was the last area to finish the game. Please, please, please, some help other than to tell me to use math skills, an explicit spoiler would be greatly appreciated..

Definitely a lot of creativity, special stuff, and some cool architecture in this mission and a big map - so congratulations and thanks on the cool fm. I just got frustrated and had to open Dromed to see what they were doing (or wanted the player to do) which to me takes a lot of fun out of it.

Oh, and from what I can tell - there are a few doors that show you need a key for but they don't really go anywhere which is confusing to the player IMO. I'm not gonna say which ones - just look in Dromed if you can't seem to find a key like I did.

Oh, and that lil math problem for the combo - I may be real slow here but I got no clue what kind of math we're supposed to do to get that one....haha

Yeah i need the alarm code too. :erg:

How many secrets have people found so far? I've found 5 but my stats screen shows 5 out of 3 secrets found. I can see some secret passageways but still haven't been able to open them. Only have half of the total loot available as well. I have to admit this is like a metal age version of the Constantine mission in T1. All of the 'horrors' are technology based. Guards with blasters and lots of mechs to deal with and an alarm system as well.

I would really like to have the alarm code as well...can some kind soul please put it under spoiler cover or PM me?

I used[SPOILER] 1649[/SPOILER] , however all I got was a click and all the cameras are still working . I picked up two metal cogs , both of which open the door upstairs to the right , and still need to find the one for the library . I still need to open doors on all three levels , the most noticible being the two sets of double doors on the third story . Also the light patch of wallpaper refered to ( book in room beside dining room ) , anyone found this yet ? There is a light patch on the wall just after the metal stairs leading to the second story , but it's being patrolled by a couple of those wingnut bots . :confused:

Hi,
this mission really is a challenge, but i´ve had a lot of fun the past hours playing it. Some really good surprises, indeed. Very well done, GORT.
Also had no problems with loading and saving.
I wonder why there are some total empty areas behind locked doors, but reachable by another way.

To help the people with the code-problem:[SPOILER]The second pair of numbers is the square-root of the first. So the third pair is the sqrt of the second. ---> 04 07[/SPOILER]
I´m playing on expert and so far, i found [SPOILER] 6 of 3 secrets and 6686 from 8686 loot.[/SPOILER]
I need help with the[SPOILER] wall with the whispering sounds. Found no way to open it. Can someone help me?[/SPOILER]

bdkl on 14/8/2004 at 19:25

Ha ! I didn't think about adding zeros . Where exactly is the wall ?
