yes am still around, I changed the text in map to use the I18N way to see text, so all the in map text is in one place. so changing the name of the mission to something like 'Who is this upstart, Chaz' or 'whatever happened to the last lord' would be easier than it used to be.

Am only be interested in changing the title though as changing things in the map will seriously bugger up some story lines and facts in other maps. As the map contains bent truths that get explained in other maps and story lines.

Fair enough, if you want to do the honours and make it TDM canon compliant I will uploading it to the mirrors.

The 1st TDM mission I've downloaded and played besides Tears of St. Lucia. - Lord Duffords was a good choice- it has a real Dark Project mission feel to it. Since I got a new machine I have been unable to get darkloader to work so I figured it was time to take a shot on TDM. I should have done this a while ago. I came here for a spoiler or two, you captured the feel of skeleton crew staffed manor nicely. A bit belated apparently - but thanks for the hard work Stumpy!

third clue

 

 

there's two sewer entrances, with metal covers, one on the west side of the manor and one on the east side of the manor, they don't connect underground, the east sewer is dryer than the west one, the third clue is hidden down there in the east sewer in something that looks out of place.

 

 

red brick in undergound area down from chain

 

 

it becomes useable when clue 3 is read, or picked up. its round the other side near the passageway to the deep crevice that splits a room in half.

Am I right observing that in this latest version

the orange "fourth clue key" has lost its function completely because the underground area opens with a switch?

On the other hand,

the "great hall key" does not work on the big double doors of the great hall (with the throne) so they remain locked, while all the other doors are pickable so they don't require a key – ?

the double doors between the two halls do not open, nor do they unlock, someone poured molten lead into the keyholes to permantly lock them.

 

there's more than one way into the underground area, but only one way is the correct way.

      You cannot receive PMs. Could you please be so kind and check your mailbox if it is full (or maybe you switched off the function)?

      I like the new frob highlight but it would nice if it was less "flickery" while moving over objects (especially barred metal doors).

      Well then, it's been about a week since I released my first FM and I must say that I was very pleasantly surprised by its reception. I had expected half as much interest in my short little FM as I received and even less when it came to positive feedback, but I am glad that the aspects of my mission that I put the most heart into were often the most appreciated. It was also delightful to read plenty of honest criticism and helpful feedback, as I've already been given plenty of useful pointers on improving my brushwork, level design, and gameplay difficulty.
      I've gotten back into the groove of chipping away at my reading and game list, as well as the endless FM catalogue here, but I may very well try my hand at the 15th anniversary contest should it materialize. That is assuming my eyes are ready for a few more months of Dark Radiant's bright interface while burning the midnight oil, of course!
