Ah, I don't think I've found that area. That must be my problem then. Any hints on what I've missed in getting there instead please? :D

The audio logs were a really fun addition, fit the setting like a glove. That and the other NPC made it a little different of an experience, as these missions tend to be so solitary.
 

Thank you for the praise, but @AndrosTheOxen, @New Horizonand Malasdair are the real heroes when it comes to this aspect. They are very talented voice actors and without their support, this would have not been possible.

Btw, it was New Horizon's idea to let his character sound boozed after a while! :)

You know how it is, the director gets all the praise. And the hate. :awesome: But yeah, kudos to everyone involved. I particularly liked the mad scientist. The voice, the delivery and the writing together reminded me of something I can't quite place. The boozed character was fine, it just became increasingly difficult to make out what he was on about.

Yes, the voice and the way of speaking reminds me a lot of the ghost of doctor Killjoy in the game 'The Suffering'

Oh, yes, you are right! There are definitely similarities...but I am pretty sure they were not intended by Andros! :)

Yes,  The suffeing is a great game, which I got some years ago as a Giveaway. There currently some sites, where you can still download it for free

Well, Ihave the game in CD and for quite some time the game was freely offered by Midway, when they released the second part, I therefore think that these are not pirated games, but those that continue to be hosted on some other host since that time.
That Gog charges for a game, does not mean anything, I have seen many times that Gog asks for money for games that are free on Steam or also vice versa (less), or they even charge for games that are offered for free on the official website of these. 

Anyway, you always have to be careful with downloads that are not from the official website, not only because it is a pirate website or not. I don't trust without malware checks nothing downloaded from the web.

I have seen this information, but I haven't find this area...

Then

Look/search for a gigantic inversed tower with a large ventilator on top. There are several spots to explore there.

@nbohr1more updated the wiki with your mission. I noticed there is no mention of spiders. Did this change in the final version?

https://wiki.thedarkmod.com/index.php?title=Fan_Missions_for_The_Dark_Mod

Only technical changes - see OP for more information.

I have to admit, I never looked into this list before and I  just see that the type descriptions for each of my missions are partly till totally incorrect. :(

Posted (edited)

I found out about it via the topic about a separate mission downloader:

https://tdmdb.com/missions

The mission downloader gets some of the info from the wiki page.

Personally I think there are too many places with info about missions considering how many people are updating these places.

Yes, I recall that darksilence set this excellent db up. Back then, I contacted him and he changed the mission type descriptions for the first three games to something more fitting. However, it's difficult to describe certain missions with the existing keywords (for example: the mission type definitions do not includes appropriate terms for industrial buildings, underground facilities, underwater stations, etc.).

I found only 1 spider in a hidden area

There is at least also another spider in a non-hidden section, not sure how you could have missed that one. I thought there were 3 in total.

Possibly I haven't seen them being out of my way at the moment. At least I only remember one. In general I do not entertain much with them, an arrow and that's it.

I saw a version 2 on the updater. Haven't played it all the way through yet but it fixed a lot of the framerate issues in the early areas which were slowing down to sub 20 fps sometimes on the not so great computer I was playing it on.

I did play the first version all of the way and it is a very good conceptual mission with a lot of good exploration elements and alternative routes for those who look. Good use of space. The voice acting as mentioned previously was very good and added a lot to it. Your missions have definitely improved in general quality with each new one.

Just finished playing version 2 and I can happily report that fps problems have been resolved and even on my ancient rig it is perfectly playable throughout. Upgrading to TDM 2.09a has also got rid of the crash in the airlock/decontamination chamber.

A couple of very minor glitches: some of the vane panels, first appearing along the entrance shaft(s), seem to lack bounding boxes meaning you can stick your head in them. Also I was stuck on geometry on a couple of occasions near/in the recreation area. Maybe something to check for v 3.

Again thanks for a very enjoyable and well-produced mission!

      I moved from Manjaro Linux (rolling release) to Linux Mint (LTS). One of the reasons was that I found the updates a bit too often and long. But now on Mint I get updates every day, although they're usually small updates.

      I'd like to track my level design progress a bit more often now, so I'm using the feed in my profile here.
      I've been working intensively on Springheel's YouTube course over the past few days. I'm currently up to lesson 8. There is so much information that needs to be processed and practiced. 
      I have started to create my own house. As I don't have the imagination to create a good floor plan, I grabbed a floor plan generator from Watabou and experimented with it. I chose a floor plan that I will modify slightly, but at least I now have an initial idea. 
      I used two guards as a measuring tape: The rooms are two guards high. It turned out that I can simply double the number of boxes in DarkRadiant in grid size 8 that are drawn in the floor plan. 
      I practiced the simplest things on the floor plan first. Drawing walls, cutting walls, inserting doors, cutting out frames, creating VisPortals, furnishing rooms.
      I have had my first success in creating a book. Creating a book was easier than I thought. I have a few ideas with books. The level I'm creating will be more or less a chill level, just for me, where I'll try out a few things. I don't have an idea for my own mission yet. I want to start small first.
      For the cellar, I wanted to have a second entrance, which should be on the outside. I'm fascinated by these basement doors from the USA, I think they're called Bilco basement doors. They are very unusual in Germany, but this type of access is sometimes used for deliveries to restaurants etc., where barrels can be rolled or lifted into the cellar. 
      I used two Hatch Doors, but they got completely disoriented after turning. I have since got them reasonably tamed. It's not perfect, but it's acceptable. 
      In the cellar today I experimented with a trap door that leads to a shaft system. The rooms aren't practically finished yet, but I want to continue working on the floor plan for now. I'll be starting on the upper floor very soon.

      Ich möchte nun mal öfters ein bisschen meinen Werdegang beim Leveldesign tracken, dazu nutze ich hier den Feed in meinem Profil.
      Ich habe mich in den vergangenen Tagen intensiv mit dem Youtube-Kurs von Springheel beschäftigt. Aktuell bin ich bis zu Lektion 8 gekommen. Das sind so viele Informationen, die erstmal verarbeitet werden wollen und trainiert werden wollen. 

      Ich habe mich daran gemacht, ein eigenes Haus zu erstellen. Da mir die Fantasie fehlt, einen guten Raumplan zu erstellen, habe ich mir einen Grundrissgenerator von Watabou geschnappt und damit experimentiert. Ich habe mich für einen Grundriss entschieden, den ich noch leicht abwandeln werde, aber zumindest habe ich nun eine erste Idee. 

      Als Maßband habe ich zwei Wächter genommen: Die Räume sind zwei Wächter hoch. Es hat sich herausgestellt, dass ich in DarkRadiant in Gittergröße 8 einfach die doppelte Anzahl an Kästchen übernehmen kann, die im Grundriss eingezeichnet sind. 

      Ich habe bei dem Grundriss erstmal die einfachsten Sachen geübt. Wände ziehen, Wände zerschneiden, Türen einsetzen, Zargen herausschneiden, VisPortals erstellen, Räume einrichten.

      Ich habe erste Erfolge mit einem Buch gehabt. Das Erstellen eines Buchs ging leichter als gedacht. Ich habe ein paar Ideen mit Bücher. Das Level, das ich gerade erstelle, wird mehr oder weniger ein Chill-Level, einfach nur für mich, bei dem ich ein paar Sachen ausprobieren werde. Ich habe noch keine Idee für eine eigene Mission. Ich möchte erst einmal klein anfangen.

      Beim Keller wollte ich gerne einen zweiten Zugang haben, der sich außen befinden soll. Mich faszinieren diese Kellertüren aus den USA, Bilco basement doors heißen die, glaube ich. Diese sind in Deutschland sehr unüblich, diese Art von Zugängen gibt es aber manchmal zur Anlieferung bei Restaurants etc., wo Fässer dann in den Keller gerollt oder gehoben werden können. 
      Ich habe zwei Hatch Doors verwendet, die allerdings nach dem Drehen vollkommen aus dem Ruder liefen. Inzwischen habe ich sie einigermaßen gebändigt bekommen. Es ist nicht perfekt, aber annehmbar. 
      Im Keller habe ich heute mit einer Falltür experimentiert, die zu einem Schachtsystem führt. Die Räume sind noch quasi nicht eingerichtet, aber ich möchte erstmal am Grundriss weiterarbeiten. In Kürze fange ich das Obergeschoss an.

      On a lighter note, thanks to my cat-like reflexes, my superior puzzle skills and my perfect memory, I was able to beat the remastered version of "Tomb Raider: The Last Revelation" in a new superhuman record time of 23 h : 35 m, worship me!
