http://i1005.photobucket.com/albums/af173/darthslair/CathedralFront.pngI am honored to introduce another fabulous work of art by Pedro Quintela (cardia1), and of course me(DarthsLair) for story and gameplay.
The Hammer Level contains elements multibrushed in from abandoned work by Dark Assassin, Glen, R Soul and Independent Thief, Continued-Teamwork mission by Pedro, and Rod.2011-2012
Story: Garrett having a little ale at the ole Burrick's Head Inn, overhears a couple Taffers just returning from the Isle of St.Vincent.
He overheard just two words; "Hammerites, and Golden Hammers". A few weeks later Garrett steps foot on the small island weary and tired from the long journey across rough seas.
A small eatery and pub known as Cookies Place offered some good fried fish and chicken at a decent price. Garrett enjoys his meal, and sips on some aged ale, not knowing someone slipped a micky in his drink, forcing him to passout.
He wakes up in jail, only to realize he has been framed for a local murder of a City Water Utiltiy Management worker by the name of Walter Muldale. Seems someone, and more than likely the same person slipping the micky in his drink also planted a note in Garrett's pocket indicating a meeting that night with Walter. Yeah, right, a setup!
Garrett will need to escape jail, and find out who set him up, and find some way to clear himself of the false murder charge. Seems A long trip to a small island has proven to be challenging for Garrett, but as always, there is a need to pay the rent. After all, Garrett came to the island for Hammerite Treasure, so there is no better time than now to get started.
Words of wisdom: It could take you up to 4 hours to complete the mission, as it is big, and please try not to spoil the show for those who haven't put in all their time and effort to complete without help. There are some spoiler video/walkthroughs, so you can watch Garrett as he completes the tasks necessary to win the mission. Please, only hints, but no outright spoilers !
There are three conversations in the mission. The second one being the most important. Stay and listen to the conversation, so it will help you to understand what is going on in the Story. It will help to prepare you.
Some helpful tools ingame: There are 4 useful maps in game just hit "M" or whatever key you have assigned for Maps. There are "Key: rooms listed by the name of the person. Some of these rooms are signifcant to clues or gameplay. Read every book and scroll you can if you think their is useful information in them. The Maps will save you time and frustration along with the use of your compass.
Darkloader v 4.3 Ready, Now plays in Garrettloader. We have discovered that Garrettloader works best for TDS fan missions.
Thanks for playing !

The Readme will fill you in on the rest.
A note on the ingame conversations: If you save during a conversation, then quit the game and reload, the conversation will repeat itself from the beginning. The engine was designed this way so the player would not miss important gameplay information. You can save during the conversation, just not reload it after quitting and expect it to be normal.
Stay and listen to the conversations , because some of them may contain important clues.
Warning ! Disable your ep, or any enhancement, as this is mostly a custom fan mission with custom textures, objects, ai, so any enhancement is unecessary, and could cause crashes, and who likes those?
Just some technical jumbo: This is a huge map, I mean, Huge ! It is maxed out on memory, and the brush count is scary, but beta tested fine using all of the modern machines, and my antique machine. There were no reports of framerate problems, but there are some
sound propagation problems due to limited resources. I believe you will enjoy it !
