Working on it :)
Progress Update, rebooted machine ( I use it as a PVR so it's on all day otherwise)
Got the last body across without GPF.
That makes 100 Bodies on the Wan Chai Map,
Next to versalife.
6 Employees (male)
2 Employees (female)
5 Security
1 Mr. Hundley
1 Red Dragon Member
1 Luminous Path Member
1 Honk Kong Policeman
these 3 were from the skybox
the schoolgirl it appears does disappear when
killed in tonnichi Road or Waterways.
This makes 17 Dead in Versalife
I next took the lift to the MJ12 lab (made difficult when playing on a TV, not a monitor because 6512 looks like 6542)
15 MJ12 troopers
4 Men in Black
2 Women in Black
4 Scientists (male)
4 Scientists (female)
3 Management type employees (female)
2 Civilians (male, 1 dead)
1 MJ12 commando
1 Bob Page
Ghosted through wall, removed his immortality, killed him.
that's 36 dead in the lab, I started transferring these down to versalife and another GPF occured.
I decided to try another tact, returning to the market, and reuniting the triads.
before heading to the UC. however the HK police attacked me forcing me to kill everyone.
12 Luminous Path members
1 Red Arrow member
6 Civilians (female)
3 Civilians (male)
5 Military police
2 Monks
1 Child (Luminous Path brat)
thats 30 Making the total in wan chai 130
however Max and Gordon escaped in the melee
Next I went to the UC (Canal Road bodies are there, but no Red Dragons wandering around tong's base. Do they appear later?)
2 MJ12 commandos
1 Scientist (female)
3 dead all transfered up onto the MJ12 Lab, making 39.
1 Maggie Chow - I killed her earlier but missed her in my count, that makes 131 on the Market.
1 Diver (drowned) - Havent got to him yet.
Anyway from there I returned to the MJ12 Lab.
6 MJ12 commandos
Making 45 dead in MJ12 lab transfered onto versalife making 62 Dead.
And in versalife I found:
3 MJ12 commandos
making 65 dead in the Versalife building.
At this point I decided I wasn't up for transferring all of these 65
through a slow level change one at a time, so I headed back to
the lucky money.
1 Gordon Quick - Died without cheating
1 Max Chen - Had to cheat.
I hit another disapearing sailor bug at this point (something about that club.)
My first attempt I moved max's body first and came back to find gordon's missing.
so I retried taking gordon's first (leaving max alive) and then came for him next.
This worked so now I have 133 on Wan Chai
65 on Versalife
1 on Universal Constructor (Dead Diver)
1 on Tong's Lab (Tong)
Giving a Grand Total of EXACTLY 200 bodies.
I just need to transfer the remaining tonight the arrange them all nicely.
I hope there arent any more on Tongs lab as that would ruin the symmetry.
The reason I did not move the Diver last night was that I got another GPF on
jumping down the shaft in canal road. Hopefully a reboot will allow me to complete
the task.

*warning* transferring bodies off of the Nano construction/storage/UC level seems to set off a bug that can't be fixed reenting the level always seems to cause the game to crash.
It gives an error something like "serial block length expected ***:*** actual serial block length ***:***"
reentering through another saved game where I have not removed the bodies does not give this error.
This left me with a problem, so I completed by cheating
my last count was:
133 on Wan Chai
65 on Versalife
1 on Universal Constructor (Dead Diver)
1 on Tong's Lab (Tong) - was wrong here, Tong AND alex are both here making 2
meaning 201 bodies.
To solve the above bug, I completed it in another earlier saved game.
Noticed that 3 flags are set.
Versalife_done
VL_Got_schematic
VL_UC_destroyed
I went back to my original saved game and set these flags using the legend cheat.
Next I needed a diver to complete my count so I issued a Summon ScubaDiver and returned him to his rigtful state making 134 on wan chai market.
So I descended to Tongs lab for the final time and found:
1 Paul Denton
4 Red Arrow Members
1 Tracer Tong
1 Alex Jacobson
7 killed and transfered on to the wan chai map making 141
rather than transfer 65 down through that level tonight I started posing thse in wan chai
or rather moving them all to compound and sorting them into groups.
It's gonna be an interesting scene.
hopefully it will be done by the weekend.

Did you make any progress SJamieson?
Azal on 14/2/2003 at 01:52
I'm loving all this so far!
Now who has the stomach to do a Collector's Edition with all the items you can carry around :ebil:

Luthien: Work has caught up with me and slowed me down
Hopefully I can squeeze in some time this weekend and transfer
the remaining bodies into Wan Chai. Also it's a bit daunting going
"Pick up body, press lift button, wait for level load (slower each time you do it), drop body, press lift button, Wait for level Load (A bit faster on the way back), repeat process 65 times"
Everyone else from all the other levels is already in Wan Chai Market
and arranged in piles of their respected groups;
MJ12, Lum Path, Red Arrow, HK police, Civilian Male, Civilian Female, Scientist, Monk
Then into sub groups;
MJ12 - Commando, Trooper, MIB
Civilian Female - Green dress, Hooker, Suit.....
Civilian Male - White shirt, Suit
In the center of the compund are the key characters
Page, Tong, Chen, Quick, Paul Denton, Maggie Chow
