Reply With QuoteFinished this excellent FM/adventure, had real fun solving the many puzzles. Only thing i don't like is the ice palace area, architecture is too generic and meh and ice beasts felt out of place and clumsy.
Many thanks!
Those damn statues caught me off guard! They remind me of the weeping angels from Doctor Who. I had to take a break from the mission because they were stressing me out.

@nicked, I'm curious about something. There are those crazy, rotated staircases in the mission.
Was that section inspired by some painting? Because, if so, I really need to know the title of it, since I'd like a copy on my wall. The place is really familiar for me from some 20th century painting.
i cant speak for nicked, but the room was reminiscent of some of m. c. escher's work, notably House of Stairs and Relativity.

Yeah it was inspired by Escher's works, though there was no one specific painting that inspired the room directly.
Thank both of you! @nicked, which one?Originally Posted by nicked
edit: now I see that NO one specific painting. I think I'll make a nice screenshot, edit it without the health points and the visiblity gem, then print it to my wall then.

I cant get in little room with statues above to get the key (near lava entrance) because the bench is too low,,,I jump and jump but cant get up..and there is no box smth to put on a bench to get higher...what to do?
Do you have new_mantle on? It should be a straightforward mantle up.
Sorry dear I dont know what it is new_mantle
ps. ok i found
yes its enabled
in cam ext. cfg
i have
; enable new mantling code
new_mantle
But where should be straightforward mantle up? i dont understand it

Is here where you mean?
yes, exactly
I jump and cant climb up
i dont have rope arrow to use it may be there is wooden texture
I looked some box everywhere to bring to put on bench but nothing, without key I cant play
You stay almost head up very close to border, but I stay on bench and its 1 meter above I jump and cant climb up...
I use space and jump everywhere ok but not here, I tried to change options Jump from space to another key but its same, in the begginning I had that problem too in corridor firs door to the right when you go down in lillte corridor and then climb up to put the switch, its metall coridor, I could not climb up there but then ok, but this place I try already 3 days and just stuck..

If it isn't working, perhaps you have an object replacement mod turned on (e.g., enhancement patch)? The bench might be a slightly different height which could prevent the mantle from working smoothly. I recall also struggling here on one of my playthroughs, but can't remember why. I think I still managed to make it work after a few tries. If it's not working for you no matter what you do, maybe you can upload a video of your attempt, and the problem will present itself.
yes
its what happen
It's because you are standing too close to wall. While on bench slightly back off from wall and jump forward while holding jump. This time mantle should work.
I tried it does not work..bench is narrow, I either fall on floor back or I dont know..bench is not a table wide size, its too high, on nickeds video he is on bench and his head almost there, I have 1 more meter up above my head, too high
If you watch nicked's video very carefully, you will notice that after jumping on bench he moved slightly backwards. If you worry about falling from bench you can crouch and tap backwards. You can also move backwards on angle (turn 45 degrees to the side and move backwards). You can also turn around, move very slowly forward away from wall, turn around again and do the jump.
I tried all that in all positions in 3 days but can not climb up unfortunatelly
we have different hight nicked and me, its smth wrong in my parameters, its too high at my place
I can jump and hold /climb up easily everywhere in game but not in this place

Maybe it's because Garrett only has 2 health left- his legs are probably all banged up!
But in all seriousness, I agree with Galaer. It looks like you just need to back up on the bench, and run/jump at the ledge. It doesn't look like anything is off with your paramaters. (NewMantle is on, I presume?)
I make step back or move from bench and fall down to the floor, no room
I dont know if new mantle is on or not, where can I look it? I found here on forum what is it and it looks enabled in file
There is plenty of room, just take a little step. If you're having trouble with it, try crouching or creeping, or going at an angle, as Galaer suggests. It isn't a particularly technical moment- a short press of the back button should work just fine.
In your cam_ext.cfg file, you should see:
as long as there's no ';' in front of "new_mantle" it should work fine. That is, it should NOT look like this:; enable new mantling code
new_mantle
If it looks like that, just delete the ';' in front of "new_mantle", save, and relaunch the mission.; enable new mantling code
; new_mantle
thank you for a lot of work but as i said i have mantle enabled and there is no way to climb up, its not so easy as you think
i am waiting for nicked
just realized that I didn't spam our episode on this thread
I'm not sure what else to suggest, rscorpio. Only other thing I could do is make the climb up for you if you send me a save, and send the save back. That would also help rule out any actual technical problem with Garrett's movement that may be affecting you.
thank you
how to make a save and send?
Yet i want to thank you for your missions, I played/tried all FM but yours are my favoritt, specially I love Whispers in the desert, its beautiful magic and cool.
Can I ask you to make a new mission in this style again? May be I can pay some money for that if you need, and please put inside at the start at least 3-4 fire arrows and 3-4 gas arrows, I like to go around and shoot zombies, its cool thank you
Sorry guys for spam but I must add more about nickeds mission, it was not enough, it should be like this :
" Dear Nicked! I just love your Whispers in the desert, you have no idea how much pleasure is to play it, I play it very slow to enjoy every second of it, from music to architekture, design everythins is so beautiful and you are genius. Its a lot of work and fantasy you put inside; I played it may be 25 times already and never boring, you are very very good creator, everything inside is so amazing, you are one of the best, thank you so much!"

In the mission folder, there should be a saves folder, containing .sav files. Grab out the latest of those e.g. \saves\quick.sav and send it over.
