Previously I had two separate issues on Penny Dreadful 2.

Now it happened on The Creeps

 

Going to try a clean install after you all have the chance to download the save.

I like to record difficult stealth games, and right now you wonderful people are the only ones delivering on that front.

Yep.

Did a clean install, and couldn't frob it then either.

Something is definitely happening.

 

Other than this, I had an issue with Penny Dreadful 2 on two separate occasions with two separate pieces of loot.

When you can't frob something, it's nothing to do with your install, it's a positioning problem with the item. Usually it needs to be moved or

lifted a bit. I had this with the Stewards diary in my manor and that's how I fixed it V

Although if an object was frobabble in a previous release and isn't any longer, and the map hasn't changed, that's a problem.

I tried the mission with 2.01 and had no problem frobbing the two bottles and coin purse inside the cabinet.

 

I also verified that I can't frob the purse in 2.05 (not using the savegame; so it's not a savegame problem).

 

So we killed it somewhere between the 2.02 and 2.05 releases.

 

I'll create a bug report.

Can verify, it worked at a friends house who was still on the previous versions of TDM.

This is not map-based.

So far, testing with SVN, I'm seeing the trace line from the player's eyes to the purse striking a frob-blocking entity which shows as much larger than it really is. This 'hides' the purse, so it's impossible to frob. Will continue tomorrow.

A few months ago I played through nearly all the DM missions. It was excellent.

But there was a problem with frobbing in several missions.
I used the showloot command, which I've now forgotten, to verify that the impossible to frob items were indeed loot. But I couldn't frob them even with noclip.

 

I guess I should've reported the problem, but I didn't want to complain.

Found another on Thief's Den 2: Chalice of Kings by Fidcal

Going to have to route around this one for the video if I can.

Hope this brings a solution faster.

      Turns out my 15th anniversary mission idea has already been done once or twice before! I've been beaten to the punch once again, but I suppose that's to be expected when there's over 170 FMs out there, eh? I'm not complaining though, I love learning new tricks and taking inspiration from past FMs. Best of luck on your own fan missions!

      I wanna play Doom 3, but fhDoom has much better features than dhewm3, yet fhDoom is old, outdated and probably not supported. Damn!
      Makes me think that TDM engine for Doom 3 itself would actually be perfect.

      Maybe a bit of advice ? In the FM series I'm preparing, the two main characters have the given names Toby and Agnes (it's the protagonist and deuteragonist, respectively), I've been toying with the idea of giving them family names as well, since many of the FM series have named protagonists who have surnames. Toby's from a family who were usually farriers, though he eventually wound up working as a cobbler (this serves as a daylight "front" for his night time thieving). Would it make sense if the man's popularly accepted family name was Farrier ? It's an existing, though less common English surname, and it directly refers to the profession practiced by his relatives. Your suggestions ?

      Looks like the "Reverse April Fools" releases were too well hidden. Darkfate still hasn't acknowledge all the new releases. Did you play any of the new April Fools missions?

      Hope everyone has the blessing of undying motivation for "The Dark Mod 15th Anniversary Contest". Can't wait to see the many magnificent missions you all may have planned. Good luck, with an Ace!
