I didn't alter the gamesys in Beta 0.4. The briefings work alright. I think there is an issue with restarting the mission though.

Crap! Performance is still lousy in the throne room & outside. Is it me or is Flesh terrible at zoning? It's still rendering rooms you can't physically see. It renders the zone next to the zone you're in. If you have zone portals on both sides of a door then Flesh pretty msuch ignores it & renders the larger zone.

I even experimented with poly flags: right click a brush, Properties>Brush>PolyFlags. Then I compared them with brushes in unrealed (UnrealEngine2 Runtime & ut2003 editor) and they are the same.

T3 & UnrealEd

Regular adds & subtracts: 0
Invisible Collision Hull: 33
Masked Decoration: 10
Masked Wall: 10 (same as above, why?)
Semisolid Pillar: 32
Transparent Window: 12
Water: 67108876
Zone Portal: 671008873

UnrealEd Anti-Portal: 134217737

When I apply the Anti-Portal PolyFlag to a brush it changes color but acts like a regular brush in T3Ed.

Yay, finished! :thumb: Another small round of bugfixes/improvements (spoilers galore)...
* The chalice should appear on the statue once placed
* The 3 corners ritual shouldn't be readable (somehow) until the sleeper is done, as you have to go back and read it after you get that objective
* The pagan priestess obj. was never cancelled, unlike the other two
* I pushed the box at the foot of the plant out of the way, which confused the objective - nail it to the floor!
* There's both a note and an obj. for "release the 3 corners..."
* Make the floating notes a little more noticable - light source or sound effect perhaps?
* The moving platforms don't always carry the player, so you have to creep along with it
* Throne room performance, as you know... playable on mine though
* Remove the loot and special loot objectives at the loadout
* The "Find out what happened to.. obj. never checks off
* I can't find the Krellek route out of the maze, only the 3 corners room exit
* Put a fire arrow in the throne area somewhere (in one of the torches?) for us poor saps who didn't have a fire arrow and couldn't get back over the platforms
* Sound effects at the end :)
I'll PM you some subjective ideas rather than put them here. Meanwhile - most enjoyable. :D

The chalice has been revamped. It'll actually be an inventory object you can manipulate (throw into the fountain, place on the statue, etc.)

There was a typo on the script for that :oops:. Instead of canceling the object with PaganPriestess I canceled a non-existing PaganPrincess . . .

I'll probably revamp that room.

Some of my notes and objectives are sharing the same file. Shouldn't happen but this is T3Ed afterall . . .

There is a light that comes on but I know what you mean.

I'm not sure how to resolve that yet. I think it's a physics thing.

The maze only leads to the mages

I got rid of the torches to limit emitter use. I'll think of something.

I thought there was too many . . . The emitters in the crypt have their SFX on all the time (until now)

Found the Krellek path, thanks - seems I can't even follow walkthroughs properly! :erm: Cool and disorienting, though I did get stuck between the lamp and the wall at the first "drop" after the main room and had to reload. Also, re. my sound effects comment - I meant an earthshaking rumbling whooshing end-of-the-world type thang when you drop Krellek's body on the plinth.
