Peanut 3 Report post Posted July 20, 2019 (edited) Looks great! Perhaps it could be useful to add a little synopsis of the plot and/or how it connects with "Initiation"? Edited July 20, 2019 by Peanut 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
mcmike1489 12 Report post Posted July 21, 2019 I'm having trouble installing this new FM. It doesn't appear in my list of downloadable missions in the main menu. I created a new folder called vitalicfever" in my "fms" folder in my "The Dark Mod" directory and placed the "hhvf.pk4" file in it. What should I do next? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Amadeus 292 Report post Posted July 21, 2019 don't put the .pk4 file in the "vitalicfever" folder (delete that folder). Instead just drop the pk4 file into the "fms" folder and the Dark mod should do the rest 1 Quote FMs: A Good Neighbor Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Dyger 45 Report post Posted July 21, 2019 Thank you very much for this beautyful mission! I sit here with three people and circle around and search the house already for the 100th time ... to find the grave of the iron spider (hand fountain? faucet?). Do you have a little clue for us? Please ... (**coffee making noises**) 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Dyger 45 Report post Posted July 21, 2019 OK, found (after the third cup of coffee). Moss had grown over it to make less noise. As a tip, if you are a gamer: Think of the Dwemer. 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
JackFarmer 405 Report post Posted July 21, 2019 Hello Dyger, I am very sorry, I did not foresee this problem during mapping and beta. The relevant command does not work consistently for reasons I do not understand sometimes the gem lies on the table, sometime it lies below the table. I did not figure out the reason for that. However, thank you very much for your feedback and I am glad that you enjoyed. I find it even cooler, that you have played it together with more friends. That's the spirit we need for video games. Have a nice Sunday! Jack Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Dyger 45 Report post Posted July 21, 2019 Hi JackFarmer, the mission is OK, I think. There was a sleeping guard in the same room. I fired a moss arrow on the table so I don't wake him up. All spider parts and of course the gemstone were covered. You can hardly foresee that. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

prjames 2 Report post Posted July 25, 2019 (edited) Need a couple hints - playing at Normal difficulty. Where are AppleFinger's (the Pagan guy's) funds? How do I incapacitate Gilbert? (I assume he's the guy in Hammer-land not dressed like the others, who was constantly walking between his room and the little shrine before I blackjacked him. - prjames Edited July 25, 2019 by prjames Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
joebarnin 152 Report post Posted July 25, 2019 hint 1a have you found his notes? hint 1b On Applefinger's hip is a document you can swipe. It contains hints for his funds hint 2 He's incapacitated (since you blackjacked him), you just have to figure out what to do with him now. It wasn't clear to me either 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
TerrificTom 0 Report post Posted July 25, 2019 Love the mission - well done. Now this is a mansion mission done right I'm having trouble with the third gem "where the windsy always plays". I'm assuming this is a reference to the bar with the music, but I can't find anything. Any hints? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

peispud 15 Report post Posted July 27, 2019 I'm also stuck solid on the first part of Applefinger's funds, and have no idea whatsoever on the Gilbert thing. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Bluehawk 11 Report post Posted July 27, 2019 Applefinger's note names 3 locations for gems and I found them all, or I think I have, but the objective didn't trigger. The pond outside, the freezer box in the basement, and the workshop table next to the sleeping guard. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
