They sure were, Ronald. They sure were.

Another highly enjoyable mission. I was amazed to find I only got 6300 out of 8300 gold, must have missed more than I thought in those street mazes, even though I got to places no mere mortal was meant to reach!

My favourite part was the guard station,

and I am really curious how this whole "shipments to the north" business is gonna tie together in the end. Only regret is touching those jewels in the cell after reading the note in the evidence safe!

Hi, just tried this mission and hit a progress halting issue... might be a bug?

Spoiler

At the start there is a fight amongst AI. One of them dies. Whenever I get down to the streets I get a 'mission failed', presumably because of the dead AI (not sure what else it could be)? Not sure how to continue. Seems like the game thinks I did the kill? I've tried restarting a few times. All that changes is the AI dies in different places. I always get mission failed once getting to the streets though.

I'm on the latest DarkMod.

Completed it! It was a good mission! Thanks for creating it. I enjoyed the atmosphere of creeping across the rooftops and the story/notes along the way. Looking forward to try the next in the series.

Got stuck on one bit and had to look at the guide. Maybe it's just me? You can add it to the pile of subjective feedback if it's helpful.

Spoiler

I didn't find the connection between the builder temple and the inventions guild area without using a guide. I went towards the other area where the women jumps to her death and then combed that area over and over about 3x. I thought that maybe I needed to sneak in via the water through the sewers. I viewed the guide and went back to the path I'd missed.

Also I went back and checked the objectives, I don't know how I missed the 'stay off the streets' one now, just didn't read it properly I guess. I'm trying to remember if it got highlighted as a failed objective when you go on the streets...? I'm not sure and can't check right now.

Thanks again. Next, mission 3...

      If you find the new Beatles song "Now and Then", which was created with the help of AI, totally boring, then you should better play the mission of the same name by our esteemed mission maker friend joebarnin, because the latter is actually a creative milestone!

      Idea: Thief 3 style missions.
      One of the great features of Thief 3 are missions defided in small segments with loading screens when you move from segment to segment. We all miss those right? I was thinking of mapping only horizontal, so not stacked. When you go up or down (stairs or elevator), you get a 20 seconds fake loading screen where you can play a minigame (The Builder's Blocks?). After that you get teleported to a different area that seems to be on top of the first, but actually isn't in the map file. It's much easier mapping, because you can see everything in one glance from above. This could also give more freedom building, because it doesn't have to fit. Everything is predictable because guards don't move to different sections.
      This could be used for the Thief 3 contest possibly..

      Just found out by accident how to change the tittle of a topic you made. You long-click (2 seconds) on a topic tittle, then you get an edit dialog to change the topic title.
      The other way I know of is to edit the first post.

      I always find it kind of strange that in DR you can't apply spawnargs on specific brushes (I think), but you can apply textures. But those are not listed as spawnargs, so they're difficult to see except if you select the brush and go into the Surface inspector.
      Wouldn't it be easier if DR would list textures for every seperate brush in the entity view?
