Kevel's note will tell you how to open the penthouse gate

Big hint: think Morse code

I guess i found bugs in the fm?
Coloured buttons on safe with no numbers ?
The electric fence invisible ?
I don't have fog ?

I can't get into the main art area because of a gate. ???

None of those are bugs--all working as intended, except for the fog issue. Sounds like you either don't actually have it turned on, or there's something messed up with your install. Does fog work for you in any FM?

Fog is turned on. I do not know morris code but i understand now Brand new install running 1.27b patch. I found the colour combination for the safe in a earlier post - so i got that.

Edit: What other FM's have fog ? I will have to download one to see if it works on this install. I seen the fog sky message on steam install and disk install with same patch but it's not working on either install.

Edit 2: Thought there would be a buzzing (beeping) sound for the morris code. That messed me up because there is no sound like beeps on morris code ???? I hear no sound. I'm in now

Hmm, I've seen mention of a corpse but I've yet to find one despite searching the Aleph Display room from top to bottom. Also, if I grab the Aleph Stone, it disappears and doesn't show up in my inventory? I finally found a way to the upper pool deck, yay, but still cannot find an eight-ball or unlock the armoury and a few rooms in the lower west wing where you can hear the sleeping guard.

Hi xenomorph,

I'm at a loss. This isn't an issue that's come up for anyone else, and given the simplicity of the setup in that room, I can't fathom what could be going wrong for you. Could you PM me with more details about your install/FM loader?

When you steal the item from the Aleph Stone exhibit, does anything happen? Do the lights come on? Does Garrett say anything?

forgive me if these answers are in the thread, I don't want to find out too much too soon.

I think I've messed up the order of operations:
I got the electrified loot, but now I can't get back down to open the color-coded safe whenever I find the combination.
What was the use for the locked-up note with six numbers in that room?
I returned the 8-ball to the tavern but I think I should have kept it to Indiana Jones the aleph stone.
I entered the seasonal constellations on the wheel and heard a sound, but what do I put in the four angels' hands?

MrMunkeepants: maybe I can help you a bit.

To return to the lower parts of the hotel - next to both elevators is a wall panel with an emergency power reset button, pushing that button re-starts the elevator power.

For the color-button-puzzle - did you already find the platonic gems in the storage room? If not, take a close look at them when you grab them (colors, shapes...and the note with the numbers will make sense).
If you already have them, then you should find a way into the closed gem exhibit. (See that broken window at the far side?) To go there look for an openable window in the room where the Menger Cube was. In the gem exhibit read the plaques!

For the Muse-puzzle - after you hear the sound, go back to the place where the big muse statue is (next to the main entrance of hotel) and examine its base.

One more thing to add: the Indiana Jones technique will not work to get the Aleph Stone, so no harm done by returning it already.

If you want a hint on how to steal it, let me just ask: how did you steal the electrified menger sponge?

Alright, finally finished it! Hard to praise anything specific that hasn't already been mentioned, just wanted to add my gratitude.
