I don't know myself, I'm only responding to the bug report I saw in this thread. You could check on your location_settings entity whether the same music has been specified in multiple snd_ spawnargs.

There should only be one snd_ spawnarg per music on the location_settings entity, and all info_location entities that should play the same music should use the same snd in their "ambient" spawnarg.

I think the problem here is, I don't have a location_settings entity in the map anywhere. Never even heard of it
before until you mentioned it. Is this something that's been added since 2.06? How is it used and where is it
found Dragofer?

I think this was on multiple places. I can go back, test and report, but maybe it is easy to see in the map file?

That would be really helpful. I don't notice this problem at all, and I just replayed it. If you can note the rooms
and maybe even the music (if you know it).

Btw. I noticed that the readme.txt file has way too much text, so it doesn't fit in the notes window inside the mission selection screen. The readme.txt file has 57 lines, but only till half of line 11 is shown in notes.

Maybe make a smaller version and put the rest in a separate file?

It's part of sfx sound.

Here are the locations I found:

Thanks. I'll look into that over the next few weeks if I get time.

You have to wait a bit in every scene, maybe that's why you didn't notice. So I think the sound loops a couple of times and then abruptly stops

Btw. I was using v. 1.9 instead of 1.91 because the mission downloader crashed during download and so the update wasn't done, but the download was still removed from the list in the mission downloader so I assumed that I had the latest version. I wonder if I'm the only one having this issue..

[NeonsStyle]

@datiswousThe mission description in the in game downloader takes it's information from darkmod.txt not the readme.txt. The readme is more sort of credits.  I have noticed the sound issue. It's caused by not using location_settings which were not a thing when I made the map, with subsequent update of TDM, which introduced them as far as I can tell; this is what has caused those sound issues. I'm not all that clear on how they are used yet, but I'll come to that in the mission I'm currently working on, so once I work that out, I'll resolve the sound problem with BM. Thanks dati.

Damn htf did I miss that? Deleted now, will make new update. Damn! The last thing I wanted released. Thanks for pointing that out Abusimplea.  Updating now!

Please, update the download DB!

Version 1.93 is already up in the mission db.

I guess I could bump the version flag.

Just finished this mission and thoroughly enjoyed it.  Playing on hard I thought it struck the right amount of difficulty. Being a non-ghosting kind of player once I found my ahem, tools, I was off and running.  Good fun.

It started off simple enough, cute map, very tight but lively.
And then, it starts piling on, and it's just keeps going, culminating in a very... raw moment. That...
That was good.

edit: But ambience tracks cutting off was weird. Especially in one room. I enter it and this tense track is playing, ramping up, making me think I'm about to find some sort of plot progression or a dead body laying in bed and... it cuts off.

Bit late, only just found these two comments. 

Glad you liked it. I tried really hard to sort of build the tension. Yeh Rio, there are some

sound issues that I never could find the source of. It's a visportal issue, but everything

is working properly, so not sure why that happens.
