I'm afraid I can't find the right foot locker for the wine either! >.>

[Bikerdude]

its in between the two bunk bends in the barracks....

i'm afraid i must report a major bug then, because i have tried dropping the bottle (pressing the drop item key twice) in every possible nook and cranny of that box.

r u sure its the correct foot locker, as there are 2 in that room! Screen shot please.

[Baal]

The bottle objective didn't check of for me either. And I checked in the editor that it was the correct locker.

I had the error as well and I know what the problem is: there are two bottles that can be put in the box, if you know what I mean. Try both of them...

 

And regarding the loot problem with the stash: that´s definitely an error. The loot somehow must be connected to the stash by mistake.

I dropped the bottle over at the Inventor's home where you collect the workshop key at first (before the Inventor was even in the mission sleeping in the room ).

 

But then I remembered that the running joke is about the "drunk guard" so I went to their home and the objective worked for me...

 

Not sure what's happening for Ungoliant, but there's enough foot-lockers where you could get confused from location to location... I never collected a second bottle though so I have no idea about Baal's experience.

 

 

 

 

?

[Bikerdude]

Yup thats the footlocker, and the moss arrows, my bad.

[Baal]

It's "Bennys bottle", the only one I have.

[nbohr1more]

Hey Biker...

 

Did you add any relighting markers to any torches in this mission? I don't recall seeing any relighting anywhere (not that I saw too many places where they would patrol like that...). Some Moddb folk are curious...

[Bikerdude]

I never though to do that, or specifically tell the Ai to relite torches. When I do an update to fix the moss arrows etc i will ad the arg for Ai

[Partol]

This mission is very fun. Lots of objectives and multiple pathways to each objective.

Even though it is small, I especially like the sewer. Water drop sounds create a perfect atmosphere.

[Bikerdude]

Good stuff Partol :-)

[Oldjim]

First post - I am really enjoying this updated mission but I am stuck

The key to the strong box is with the dear departed which I assume is the man who was killed in the generator but looking all over that area and underneath in the sewer including stopping the water wheel with the hammer I haven't found the key

[Bikerdude]

Nope, think family, think painting..

[Oldjim]

Oh dear -

and all because I didn't close the door

Thats why I put it there..

[gnartsch]

Thanks for an updated version!

I am just replaying the TDM missions on my new machine.

While I see the map to be extended a bit, I must say that the old one had a bit more charme ... and less bugs.

I ended with 2369 loot and

tdm_show_loot

shows that the remaining loot (625) is located at the position where my loot-bag was located.

In case it is still required, I could provide a savegame - if I can find out how to attach it to a PM.

 

Also the guard in the hotel had a few path-finding issues:

a) he did not properly find his way back up the stairs again and had to retry a couple of times to make his final turn to the top of the stairs.

at the top where he is supposed to take position - near the bathroom - he always turned around by 90 degrees like mad and did not pick up his route again.

So I had to dispose him.

[Bikerdude]

I had fix the guard in the hotel, so i can only guess the .aas file has become corrupt somehow. The my-stash bag is a know issue and will be fixed in the next version.

Played the first release long time ago and replayed the new version last night. The new visual touches found everythere are awesome! Also the changes, new areas & added AI are a welcome addition. Biker, you made an already very good mission excellent! It's still one of the FM's with most good nostalgia Thief flair. Definitely worth all your work hours that went into the reissue. Thanks!

 

Definitely worth and fun having a replay even if you already played the first version.

This might be the earlier version, but thought you'd enjoy: http://blip.tv/gaming4life/the-dark-mod-business-as-usual-5969344

I didn't know about this update. Evidently I stopped whatever unimportant thing I was doing (like my thesis due to the end of the month, for example) and played it.

 

It's fantastic.. And I didn't remember almost almost everything. Double yay.

[lost_soul]

That was a pretty good video walkthrough. I notice that the guy had some trouble with the KOs though. It seems like he smacked the ceiling with his blackjack by accident a lot.
