TTGM 2 & 3: 'Shore Leave' and 'Up Shit Creek' (28/8/2001)

I'm stuck at the northern transporter. I have both the normal key and the triangle but can't seem to find the lock. Nowhere else to go.

Welcome to the forum, R'Mgedon!

I don't know if you're familiar with UBB code, so I'll explain the spoiler. I'm going to hide the words under a blue section so people don't see them accidentally. To read them, just put your cursor at the beginning, hold down the left mouse button and drag across the blue part and the words will appear.

<blockquote><font size="1" face="Verdana, Arial, sans-serif">Spoiler:</font><div style="background-color:#000080"><font color="#202080">You have to "Use" the triangle with your mouse button, like you would a key. If it clicks into place properly, a stream of light comes out the top of it and a bar moves back from across the door. If you look on the wall just before you get to the triangle pedestals, there is what looks like a small safe door. Once the yellow key is properly placed, that also opens and behind it is the lock that the key fits. <img src="smile.gif" border="0"> </font></div></blockquote>

Hehe, It don´t works! <img src="confused.gif" border="0">

Now I´m posting a Spoilershot: <a href="http://www.topboard.net/vbb/attachment.php?s=&postid=10406" target="_blank">Please take a look</a>. If I use the item on the right plate nothing seems to happen!

BTW: Do you everytime understand my postings? Someone told me that he got sometimes very hard problems with understanding my postings... (I´m only a german thiever with little bit english knowledge <img src="rolleyes.gif" border="0"> )

Legion - Your English is very good. Once in awhile it's a little hard to figure out exactly what you mean, but most of the time it's very clear.

What difficulty level are you playing on? If you're on Expert, you need to find 2 yellow tri-keys, one for each pedestal. The coin showing in your picture is used after the big door opens and you get inside. Then there is a small plate that lights up that you can use it on. If that's not right, give me lots of details. Which difficulty are you playing on? Do you have both yellow tri keys if you're on Expert? Is the bar starting to draw back and getting stuck? Are you using the yellow key like you would an ordinary key? When the plate highlights, use your mouse button to move the trikey over onto the plate and release?

It always seems to work, so you must be not doing something quite right. <img src="smile.gif" border="0">

I´m playing on "Hard" and found a yellow coin, the same that I have from beginning (that I found in the mission before), and the yellow coin with this blue strain which is here named as "Triangle" (shown on shot) in the room with a portrait of Karras! Also I found there a key...

I´ve used everything of my inventory which I can at these two pedestals which are shown at the shot but really nothing seems to happen! <img src="confused.gif" border="0">

Thanks Nightwalker. Guess I just wasn't patient enough. Better not go into what I tried or others may guess!!

Nightwalker on 21/12/2001 at 17:15

Legion - You don't use the coins on the pedestal. You have to go and find another yellow triangle, like the one that is one the left hand pedestal in the picture. I'm afraid I don't remember exactly where it is on Hard. The location of things changes on each difficulty level and I know where it is on Normal and Expert, but I'm not sure about Hard. I think it is in the building that has the electric machine on it's roof, but I'm not at all positive that's correct.

You also need to find an "Ancient Coin" that doesn't have the line down the middle, though it sounds like you may already have it, from what you said. I'm pretty sure the one you have shown in your picture is bent and doesn't work.

You have the chance to enter the dockyard now, and try and find

side of the river.

I click the download link down at the bottom of the page with the screenshots and it looks like it's the unzipped mission file (code), but no downloadable .zip file. What do we do with this? :confused:

bohemian on 28/8/2001 at 03:55

I don't get it. I click the link, but instead of getting my dowload options (open or save to disc) Netscape opens a new window and I start seeing what looks like a mission file that's been opened with a text program. I've never had this happen with other FM's.

For example;
