Hello everyone,

I am saddened that my first post here is to bring you all the news concerning the disappearance of my dear friend, wellingtoncrab, which was last seen on March 10 of this year by heading to the woods of northern California . Unfortunately, without trace or tracks, we have no choice but to cancel research.

In addition to finishing 1.25 FMS, wellingtoncrab was known as an partner of many famous people and models, and to have the largest animal crossing house. We will miss them a lot.

Of course, an immediate concern was devoted to determining the status of their unpublished FM(s). I must admit that the passage through their hard drive has not turned much, but I was intrigued to find a file called "IRI2.PK4".

Unfortunately, my computer cannot load the card (too old, lol ), but I will download it here for posterity as well as the text included in the README:

Moving Day 2: Look Who’s Moving Now

*For Richard and Linda*

“There once was a hole here. Now it is gone.”

 

With enduring gratitude to:

Testers:

Acknowledgments:

• @Jedi_Wannabe for graciously unauthorizing this sequel to his great mission "Paying the Bills 0: Moving Day."
• Mr. Squirrels: you know who you are and what you did.
• The name "Lampfire Hills" originates with the author Purah and now is part of the extended universe of many subsequent Thief missions. Bikerdude and Goldchocobo then brought the name into the setting of The Dark Mod with the FM "The Gatehouse." It then came to me in a dream.
• @Dragofer for all of his scripting work and support over the years.
• Polyhaven.com for its many excellent CC0 assets. I recommend supporting them on Patreon if you can spare the change: https://www.patreon.com/polyhaven/

Thanks for passing on this news, LePetit_Baguette_69 (beautiful name, by the way. Is it French?). He will be greatly missed, but at least we'll have his 1.25 FMs to remember him by

A sad and happy day all at once! I will be crying while downloading, then smiling as I install, crying while sneaking, smiling while grabbing loot. Very bittersweet and confusing.

Guess that's a shame, he was quite useful. You can send me all of his WIPs so I can misappr upload them to the abandoned FMs repo for adoption.

Also a reminder to brush up on our French, given the setting of TDM.

The City claims another taffer! I hope he didn't forget a coin to pay for the trip.

I knew someone was taffin' around with me the moment I read "he ran away to the woods of northern California".

WOW this is an amazing mission I thought it was just move your stuff and that was the end man was I wrong!!

 

Thanks for this I was needing something to play!!

[joebarnin]

Great mission. It took me forever to figure out how to get the secrets going, but it was worth the effort. Brilliant stuff!

[datiswous]

It's kind of hard to read though...

Spoiler

 

Does this include an actual fm though?

Still bright enough to raise my alert level to 2.

Yeah for me it looks like this:

That's off course my own problem. But it would be nice if people do not copypaste (with style included) in the forum text.

Rich Text continues to ruin everyone's day decades later.

Now that April Fools is over, this has been added to the mission database.

We shall now pray that wellingtoncrab rises from his tomb just like the "Easter protagonist".

[Bergante]

hard to hear 
But ?    true or foe (1.April)
and sounds with hope - loosed track !
and why do I immediately remember these Fm's:
A good neighbour 
In a time of Need
In Danger of Judgement
In rememberance of him 

Puh --- looks like ( in the moment) I am a freaky TDM-Nerd
[Ok - nbohr1more - cleared the Goat (one of them)]

I obtained the coin and the mission ended. This was an interesting experiment, but I feel I'm missing something.

What coin? There is no coin in the mission.

Just pack up your belongings and leave town.
