    [JAM 1] New T2 Mission: Misguided Souls (13/11/2024)

    Here is my entry for the first Speedbuilding Jam. It is a small, Mechanist-themed mission.

    Scenario:

    When Cavador started spilling his guts, he didn't know when to shut up. At least, according to the
    Pagan who contacted me last night to thank me for the whole Soulforge debacle. It's been two months
    since I foiled Karras' plans. Two months since the truth got out. Two months since the public
    hysteria, the lynchings, the start of the official trials, the Hammerites returning in force to cry
    heresy and call for harsh justice. The Mechanists are finished.

    But according to this Pagan, there's a secret Mechanist facility in the mountains just outside the
    City, a facility that only a few high-ranking Mechanists even knew existed. Even Cavador didn't
    know much about what went on there, only that the whole place was built to hide some discovery they
    found there after following directions from a long lost precursor tome buried deep in the KD site.

    Apparently, by the time I got to Soulforge, the Mechanists in the City hadn't heard from their
    brethren at the site for some weeks. Now no-one seems to know if the facility is still up and
    running in isolation, ignorant of the winds of change from the outside world, or if some disaster
    has struck the place.

    Precursor artifacts are always in demand from collectors, even if a certain Lord Gervasius is
    unlikely to be in the market now that he's been disgraced for his associations with the Order. If
    I can get my hands on whatever the Mechanists found up there before anyone else stumbles upon the
    place, I should stand to make a tidy profit...

    Since you reported this problem for another mission by now: Did you check whether the Thief 2 game (AKA playing the game instead of a fan mission) does still work normally, and if so: Is the same problem present there as well?

    Other missions work, and even same authors I play now Nest of Vipers, everything working , but this one Misguided Souls and yet a shadow of the Water does not work, I cannot use weapons and all creatures dont move, they stay at same place just hands to left right, but they can speak and see me

    Each time I play fan mission i Get this message in Darkloader, but I press Ignore and all works, but not now in thees 2 missions:

    "The LG rendered Direct Show filter was not installed and file LGVID.AX can not be found"

    Should not be using Darkloader, but AngelLoader or the FMselector that came with NewDark.

    But you wrote here that "Nest of Vipers" did not work for you. Has this suddenly changed, or what do these conflicting messages mean?

    This is a message related only to playing certain movies. I think it is highly unlikely that this has anything to do with the AI problems you have in missions. Playing "Misguided Souls" via FMSel or AngelLoader instead of the ancient and unsupported DarkLoader, just for verifying that DarkLoader is (or is not) the culprit here, would still be helpful.

    Thank you very much for advice, I will try it now. I messed up 2 missions, some work, some not.

    no issues here with Angel Loader - thanks nicked! wonderful mission and for some reason I immediately got a nostalgic feeling that reminded me of the soul cube from doom

    I'm so excited to play this tonight!

    another great by Nicked - good backstory, nice architecture, little side routes to avoid main paths, changing the tone partway through to keep players on their toes.
    I only got 4/7 secrets and missed about 400g loot. I'll take my time on the next play, see if I can wrangle what I missed.

    Nice little mission Nicked, my initial thoughts whilst playing was that it was all a bit too easy and thought you had missed a trick by making the vent useable in expert, after all if they were not available it would have made sneaking through the compound a lot more of a challenge, but then I returned from the caves and was so grateful for the vents.

    Thank you for this nice little mission, nicked!

    I already knew it would be a treat since the beginning. The starting area with rain and fog was really atmospheric. And the firing up of the main generator was a nice touch too, with the chunks of coal dropping on the conveyor to be transported into the furnace. The inner parts got me on the edge with all the corpses littered around and I slowly put together what happened from the readables before finding the Soul Trap... and that's when the real party started. I really liked the infighting between the enemies, it helped me a lot, especially when I had the chance to release the "additional security". The escape sequence was also something new I have never seen in Thief. It was a nice idea to add that part as closure.

    Are those non-gridsnapped brushes in the spiral staircase? You must be new to DromEd.

    Isn't there a tutorial called Absolute Beginner's Guide that says "NEVER turn off grid snapping"?

    Terrific little mission nicked, thanks so much for making it for us

    I found it a true challenge on expert and wandering around at the end until working out the exit route

    Finished 100 loot and 1 secret short - I am guessing the last secret contains the missing loot.


    Edit: Last secret found: was the missing 100 loot!

    Considering how new you are - Nicked is only one of THE most accomplished fan mission authors around here with a loyal fan base. You may want to educate yourself how "new" he is. FYI. As you can see I have been around since 1999 and have seen a lot.

    I think that was sarcasm (especially since I wrote the aforementioned tutorial).

    I timed my way through the vents - I hugged the wall in the corners to pause.

    As for dewdrop? I searched and came up empty.
