My first FM "The Mystery Man" released! (26/03/2001)

No this is part of miss15.mis.dml in TfixLite which caused the bug. To avoid confusion, I deleted it.

Sounds like an ideal candidate for that fingerprint technique which is sometimes mentioned with DMLs.;)

Unna Oertdottir on 21/5/2019 at 15:25

It's already fingerprinted and working correctly, if players are using other modern loaders, but not Darkloader.

Fixes:

- final goal (now irreversible)
- loot
- doors (open angles, open positions, positions)
- banners (blockfrobs)
- keys
- misplaced objects (torch, vases, powder keg)
- AIs (hearing, teleport, conversations)

So I found myself in a sticky situation, having used up all my flash bombs before getting into the Tower. Obviously, I couldn't take all those minions in there with just my sword, so here's how I beat them.

Lure them all out into the courtyard, then run back into the tower and quickly lock it behind you. Obviously you'll still have to deal with them when you come back, but at least you'll be able to handle Tower business with less stress.

Just played this for the first time. Outrageously fun! Many thanks.

gamophyte on 23/9/2024 at 06:41

Wow this was nostalgic. I remember playing this not long after it came out. A real treat to go back to, and though simple it had ambitious ideas for the time, and good challenges to sneak through.

Funny I am thinking on my first play through I never finished, as I don't remember the final moment as I just played it. But I mean... it was 23 years ago haha.

I remember when I saw the two guards facing each other in the basement, I was telling my brother at the time how cool it is that you can knock both out if you go fast enough. Like that was a new concept.

Thanks for the DML fix fortuni!

Best thank Glypher, I just supply secretarial services. :p

PS. Totally agree about the nostalgia, this was one of the very first FM's I played and still love every minute of it.

SlyFoxx on 23/9/2024 at 15:57

This was the first FM I played. In fact trying to get Thief games running and figuring out how to get Darkloader working was some of my first computer usage apart from using Word to do college papers and the like.
