JackFarmer Posted May 1, 2021 Author Report Share Posted May 1, 2021 (edited) Change log Version 2 (see op for download information): a. removed dust fog particle effects for enhanced performance and to prevent game crashes on certain configurations. ( thank you @Bluehawk) b. fixed the non-solid cave rocks in the final cave after the explosion ( thank you @STRUNK) If you have further crashes in game during certain events, please make sure that nothing is equipped in the right hand (loot, keys, scrolls etc.). This problem will be fixed with the next release version of the mod. Version 3 (see op for download information): a. several lights updated with volumetric dust b. changed the stairs geometry in one of the staircases that leads to the pools c. the water pools now have stairs for noice reduction in case the player enters them d. replaced a Jonus phonogram recording with a new take (great work, doctors) Edited March 16, 2022 by JackFarmer 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hotlyx Posted May 1, 2021 Report Share Posted May 1, 2021 I wondered if that was the problem. I'm running DM 2.08 How do I update the version? I'll look for it. Thank you! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tapewolf Posted May 2, 2021 Report Share Posted May 2, 2021 Okay, that was a lot of fun. Love the System Shock 2 vibe the first couple of floors give you, the ambient music worked very well. (By the way, that's Korg M1, Roland made the D50). I've completed the mission. I'm still missing two secret areas somewhere, but what's really bugging me is how to get Spoiler the final scroll out of the freezer. I've not found a switch, can't smash or blast it open, and even out-of-the-box ideas like cutting the power or CO2 line further in the facility have failed to turn up anything. ...so reluctantly I'll have to ask for a hint there. P.S. Nice record collection in the recreation area, and I particularly loved the power generator. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tapewolf Posted May 2, 2021 Report Share Posted May 2, 2021 36 minutes ago, JackFarmer said: then: Thanks, finally got it. Yeah, I spent a long long time last night and today looking for something like that, hidden or invisible. If you do a map revision it might be worth making it just a little more obvious somehow because it's very well hidden. I was even starting to wonder if the map was corrupted and it had gone missing.
