I didn't fix the loot problem I just couldn't find all the loot, it seams. So I was unsure wheather there was a problem with some loot.
It was tricky to find because of the
"teleporting" at the end. I did the ending a few times because I'd forget something on the other side
. Finally I made a note for myself so I'd remember.

Thanks nbohr1more.
stumpy- as I mentioned I enjoyed this mission even though there was
spiders in it. I really appreciated your well placed shadows because the spiders take so many arrows to kill I had to sneak around them.(except two). I liked the hunt for the pumpkins although when I first entered the house I was some what confused by what the pumpkin was doing and what I was suppose to do with it. Maybe your note about collecting them could have been on that first table. Your creepyness factor was high with your textures and lighting. Your "path" to the end was easy to follow and I liked the puzzle. It was really cool how you hid the king. I almost had a heart attack when that spider came through the wall when I was right there.
One other thing I was confused by was what was the guy suppose to be doing while the pumpkins were attacking him? I also liked your surprise ending with the house. Wasn't expecting that. Again thanks for a great mission.

yeah hard to read.
try ctrl+a
Or you can just highlight them (as if you're going to copy them). Makes them readable at least.

Great work stumpy. Really enjoyed this mission. Did you fix the loot issue as my mission statistics showed I found all the loot? Anyways I would add more comments but can't find how to add spoilers to my reply. Can anyone help?

I usually leave doors open just a crack so I can hear guards coming without much risk of being seen.
I also use the spyglass. A lot. I'll find a nice shadow to wedge myself into and check out how armoured guards are, what weapons they have (which will actually matter after 1.07), whether they have anything on their belt, and even sometimes scan readables from afar.
That's the way I like to play. Lot's of planning and sneaking.
As far as using noclip - I've only used that when I've gotten hung up in the game (fall through the floor, stuck in a corner etc.) and use it instead of quitting and going back to a previous usually far back save. I'd hate to be penalized for that.

Could I please get a hint on how to find that
hidden fourth entrance in the crypt? The hint given in an earlier post was "check around the sarcophagi"
but I can't seem to find anything...
In the room with many sarcophagi try looking behind one.
Hope this helps.

Finished last night
and I too found it somewhat large and empty meaning I kept expecting more AI. At the beginning I had a little indecision as to which direction I was going to go first (almost went to the church) but after checking a few things out found the sewer and went there. I liked your sewer. I also liked the many different areas you had for loot possiblities. Your tombs with the haunts was tricky enough to search so added a nice touch of danger. I went up into the rafters first and when I found nothing wondered "what the"
, but knew there must be a purpose so kept searching. One hint I'd give is to save before you throw as it's a long way down and back if you miss or drop it. All in all your mission flowed fairly well from place to place. When I finished I found I hadn't got all the loot so went back in, checked everywhere except sewers but couldn't get there because of mission end so had to go back to a previous save. Missed two rings on the table. It was long walk for two rings 
.Thanks again for all your hard work. Look forward to your next mission.

Congrats on the release!

Yeah, not everyone likes playing against spiders and undead (blackjacking guards is my favorite, personally). But that's why I did it that way, to provide a challenge not everyone is comfortable with.
My next one likely will include a scenario I've been experimenting with recently. I've only done a small amount of forest so far, but plan to expand that out into a city (where the player starts). A series of events will unfold to take you from the city out into the forest.
Looking forward to it!

Good to hear that you finished it. Sorry for
creeping you out with the spiders so much. I must admit that when test-playing they made me jump a couple of times, even though I'm the one who put them there and set up the traps. And I'm a person who actually likes spiders... real ones though... not huge Mirkwood-style monster-spiders or the likes of Shelob and Ungoliant.
Originally, the spider king was going to be the rat king. I wanted to swarm the player with 6-10 or so rats, but I couldn't get the little buggers to attack so I had to swap them out for spiders.
Yes, easy is a nice way to play
Expert mode with the no-kill difficulty can be a downright pain, especially if you are to get every piece of loot. One must be very sneaksie and quicksie-like to get through and still you will...
be seen by the revenant while making your exit after grabbing the scepter. If someone can truly ghost this mission I will be very, very surprised.
I know they have thier place in the world (outside in the garden killing mosquitoes) and as long as they stay there and stay very small I can deal with them. Maybe.
I can't imagine ghosting this. I only did medium and I might as well of been carrying sparklers and blowing a whistle as far as my stealth score goes. Again top marks for spookyness factor. Look forward to more from you.

Finished up again and found all but 125 loot and I bet I know where it is but can't get back there so will wind this up.
I liked this mission even though I hate spiders (hate them so much had to get my son to do some) so the creepyness was there. I'm sorry I didn't get a feel that it was halloween even though there was just about every creepy creature that I've ever seen in any mission so that counts for something towards the theme I'd say. At the beginning in the cemetary I found it hard to get out of the light because I was walking on the tops of the flowers until I got off to the side. I had some difficulty spotting things ie: the book, pathways in both the tunnels and maze.
I liked the random path of the skeletons - added a little extra challange to things. Now you did get me with the "gotcha" moments, the flash of lights etc. but could of done without the spiders. Just sayin
. I really liked how this mission seemed to keep going everytime you completed one objective a new room would open up.I had a few crashes also. One was when I came back from the kings tomb and the other two were in the maze and tunnel. The last two I've had on other games so don't thing they're related to yours.
Thanks for all your hard work PranQster. Will probably play again to get my missing loot but I think I'll pick easy next time
. Whew!! -
That's strange.
They should both highlight just fine, though the ring is more difficult. Make sure you are not standing on top of the candles, that might make you too high up. Get up to the side of the sarcophagus and lean forward and they will highlight.
Also, the crown becomes an objective when the ghost and spiders warp into the tomb, so yes, you do need it.
I've got it now
Was it tied to the book? I missed the book so reloaded and went back, found it and once back in the tomb they both easily highlighted.
Edit - Also played on med. and my loot objective checked off about 200 shy of what it should have.
Have finished now but missed alot so will go back in and comment later.
-
Need help
I'm in the tomb with the spiders and I see a crown and a ring but cannot get them to highlight at all. Are they a decoration or should I be able to pick them up? Even on noclip I could not get them to highlight.
-
Looking good Bikerdude. Can't wait to play your newest mission as well as everyone else's.
-
Oh crap I think I see what happened. For a long time, this mission was named simply 'j10'. My xdata_contents points to 'readables/j10/looters_book', which still exists locally... hence why I can see it just fine.
Fixing now.
Can you make a note at the beginning of this thread that there are spoilers visible if you keep reading. Takes the surprise factor right away.
-
I just started playing and the following is what I see:
I too see black boxes on the people's heads right at the beginning. There is also three black "squares" at the end of the hallway. One on each wall and one on the door. At the top of the black squares is written "Invalid GUI: guis/john01.gui"
I'm going to hold off playing for a bit in case there's a tweak or two needed.

Ooooo! Spooooky lookin.

run "tdm_show_loot" from the console and it will show where the rest of the loot is... and the stash dosent count.
After running "tdm_show_loot" in several different areas of the map again it still shows the missing loot in the exact spot where my stash was
in the thiefs hideout, in the sewer, by the stove.
This is what "tdm_show_loot" shows me: 5 items remaining Gold: 625, Jewels:0, Goods:0. My current inventory shows me with Gold: 829, Jewels: 525, Goods: 1005. I don't know where else to look. I've found the wine room and the up high room. Any thoughts?
-
A question to everyone:
Who among you found the
wine cellar under the wine/beer shop....
I did
- nice touch. By the way
am still looking for the rest of the loot and am wondering if the stash was suppose to be counted as loot but is it possible it didn't for some reason?
-
Its directly above where you start, oops though I fixed that - there are two entrances, via the barracks or the street where you walk through a small tunnel
I just went and checked and I did get the guy above me with a blackjack while he was sleeping. I guess I need to pay attention to who I'm hitting
. I wasn't sure as I didn't get to him through either the barracks or a tunnel, I just used the doors. -
Finished your mission and I do like the updates you did.
The outside with the balloon was tricky enough to get past the guards (bjed em all) and I liked the mountain side when you got to the top. Once inside I liked the rooms with just the right shadow to get around however in the key room and on the stairway to the dungeon I noticed some light shining through walls so made it a little difficult to hide. The only other problem I had was trying to blackjack Pyle on the rabbit. When I tried to BJ him he'd go flying off the rabbit and of course die. In order not to kill him I had to alert him slightly and then he would stay on the platform when I hit him.
Great update look forward to your next mission.

Hmmm, all the Ai in the tavern are friendly to the player bar the Noble, so there was no need to bj the barmaid,
but the nobel should have had a go once he saw you.
I wasn't sure about her but I thought she might alarm the noble. For him I came in the back door so he never saw me.
Edit - Just finished and enjoyed all the changes you made but may go back in as I only
got 2369 out of 2994 loot although after searching for almost an hour I checked tdm_show_loot and it came up exactly where my stash was. I also didn't find an inventor's apt. so am missing something. I only had trouble with getting loot out of one chest - it was in the female's apt. I had to noclip to get the loot. I had several crashes but I believe it's on my end which is why I voted excellant in your first question. I also could find no way up to the archer.
Thanks for a great update. Look forward to your next mission.

like in the tavern it's almost impossible to loot the coins on the table
After BJing the barmaid and the noble I just walked right up to the table and took them - nobody said nothin
-
Hey Biker - Just downloaded and I have to say WOW!. This is almost like a brand new map very impressive. I see so many places I want to explore so gotta go. Thanks for the update.

Wondering if I'm missing something. Just started and
have no tools of the trade. Have been through the house at least rooms that weren't locked looking for them but haven't found anything. Not even any loot. As a master thief I would think that I'd always have something nearby at least? I've even found the ghost and failed the new objective.
Is this correct and I should just go with it or is something not right?
