That's some good file hosting, I'm getting nearly 500k/s here at work...
Just a note - to help in keeping the Circle up to date it would be useful if I was sent an email or PM with the readme (perhaps from whoever posts the mission in here), as it would save me having to download each FM in the event that epithumia hasn't grabbed it yet. The Circle still gets an awful lot of hits so it's worth getting new FMs on there quickly. Exposure and all that.

What a good new ! "The Bridge" is finally available :D
I waited for this fm with so impatience!
I can't wait to play it :D

Stunningly beautiful and I'm really surprised at how smooth it runs on my computer.
The movie doesn't work for me either and I can't see any objectives, only a small box but no text.
It's been hard to play when I don't really know what to do but I've managed to get myself to taft avenue. [SPOILER]I've found the vidow there, am I supposed to leave her the letter and toy? And if so, how?[/SPOILER]

thanks for the feedback ... :) After working on this thing for over year, it's kind of strange to see it finally *out there* and listen to people's reactions.
I'm particularly pleased people are picking up the *classic* vibe - my main motivation was to create a more industrial, gritty, steampunk City than we got in T3. This is one of the reasons it took so long - almost all the textures are custom, and many of the objects too.
I've no idea why people are having problems with the intro movie, I haven't changed it since beta, and have never had it crash on me, but if you can skip it that's cool.
The second movie is more important however, and tells you what to do, so here is the gist for anyone who has problems playing it ...
[SPOILER]
Kinch the locksmith agrees to make a copy of the Shale Bridge key for you, but in return he asks you to go and find his wayward daughter, who has been out drinking on one of the local taverns, and has probably passed out in an alley somewhere - on her safe return, Kinch will give you the copied key[/SPOILER]
@ Tithian: I'm concerned you're not seeing objectives ... are you playing a non-English install or anything? Are you using the latest GarrettLoader? Also:
[SPOILER]to leave the letter\toy just select the item in the inventory wheel and hit the *use* button, like when you use a health potion. Also, you have to leave it on the desk ...[/SPOILER]
@Singblade:
[SPOILER]No, you have the right girl :) He may have freaked out because of something else, for instance the AI can become scared of Garrett sometimes, but if you leave the daughter on the bed, you should still find the copy of the key on his desk.[/SPOILER]
As regards the hosting, obviously I would love to have it on the Circle, but was aware it was a rather hefty download and wanted to make sure there were no problems before letting you know.

English, Patch 1.1, John-P's texture pack and Garrettloader 1.31 :erg:
Anyway, could someone give me hint on the [SPOILER]combination to the vault? The note I found wasn't very helpful.[/SPOILER]

Tithian,
I can't see the objectives either. It happened way back when I played a new FM. Can't remember which one. Regardless of that, all except 4 of them are checked off.
I put the toy on top bunk and objective ticked off and the letter and toy were on the desk.
Can't figure out the code for vault either. Still working on it.
Hope Vincent:cool: :thumb: :)
Great FM Dom. I love anything thiefy.:thumb:
Look on Bridge for code

With regards to the video problem, I didn't get it on the beta version so its possible it may be corrupt. I'll have a bit of a test with it and see if it plays fine outside T3.

If that is the case, I can put another version up at some point. Cheers for checking this out ...
No help for the combination - it's a puzzle, but all the pieces are there ;)

Having tried out the first video file (01Intro_engl_none_30.bik) it is definately corrupt somewhere round frame 453.
The older beta one runs fine though. Its odd the file sizes are the same, however the version 1.1 has a file date of exactly 2 hours later (to the second).
I would suggest updating it, if need be I can upload the original movie file.
The second video is fine though.
I used (

Thank you str8g8 for this beautiful and enjoyable mission :)
Go, I return to it, I have has to find the combination of a safe....:sly:
