I don't see why not, unless the author of it specifically requested you didn't do that . . . as far as I can remember it's just an ordinary .gam file, I'll see if I can find the files on my hard drive.

It'd be fun to try have in a FM. I remember discovering the AIs went on full alert if they heard a body hit the floor, then hurling bodies down the stairs to listen to them gasp, scream, and finally holler 'NO!' when the body arrived at the bottom. :D Whoever used this as a base for their FM would have to have lots of stairs. :sly:

Actually, the Ultimate Difficulty Mod does upgrade the AI behavior a fair bit.

I remember playing through TG using the UDM, with mixed results. Sometimes the threat of eagle-eyed guards helped with immersion, at other times it made the missions incredibly tedious. I don't doubt that making the AI both tough and fun to play against is a tall order, but I'm sure it can be done.

Awesome. Simply awesome.

The atmosphere - blood on greyscale = creepy. The readables - old-fashioned Hammer style, brilliant. The glyphs - cool, very cool. Honestly, I can't think of any negatives.

I admit I didn't expect the ending at all. And the finale music raised it to another level, for me at least. Good choice!

I can think of two negatives--

1. Mandatory "secret" areas to finish the mission
2. The entire thing is basically a linear switch hunt. If not for the incredible atmosphere it would have felt pretty tedious.

I agree with the spirit of #1, except that technically none of them were "secrets" in the gameplay sense, just hidden.

Well duh....it said almost as much in the read-me. "Garrett there are keeper glyphs stopping us from whooping up on the baddies....can you help us?":p :cheeky:

As much as we love to play FM's, every FM has an ending. :joke:

Some people are having a bit of trouble with this, but it can be solved with only 5 frobs.

My first success (from the start position) was:

1. Switch off the 2 greens

2. Switch on the centre red

3. Switch on the left and right blues

In fact, from the starting position, you can frob these 5 glyphs (upper left, lower right, centre, left, right) in any order and it will work every time.

That's also only from the starting arrangement, though, correct?

I've just finished this game but can someone tell me [SPOILER]where the secrets are, please. Apparently, I only found 1 out of 3...and I've combed the place upside down.:confused: [/SPOILER]
