The mirror: It is just a mirror. However it does have special purpose in The Ghost House (works as a trigger for a special conversation). You can't finish the mission before looking at the mirror atleast once in that mission.
It was also going to have some ghosts in it in other plots that were cut. Think torture devices and dead corpses. :devil:
One thing that never worked was the burning man in the hospital. It was literally on fire in dromed (thanks to Eshaktaar's .tga files), but in Thief 2 it just glows. :(
There is some randomized things going on in the FM, so you can't possibly see everything in the mission (atleast not in the ghost house) at the first try. I must admit that the chandelier actually scared me once when making the FM. I forgot I had added the dropping feature and made it randomized. Naturally it was allowed to stay in the FM.
Thank you all for your kind comments. :thumb:

brrrr, now I need one of those nice little teddy bears or I won't go to sleep! That was scary! :eek: After playing the "house" on Expert I had only the nerves to play the "hospital" on normal, still enough undead for me.
Thanks to Dark Arrow and Gloria Creep!

Nightwalker and Elmar, for "sending" me this Missions. That was so kind of you both! :cool:
So I'll run now and try to catch up with you Taffers.

Just wanted to say. Two thumbs up for this effort. Creepy! Scary! I'm off to put on another pair of shorts. I don't think the stains will come out of my old pair!
It seems I have a voice acting credit but I didn't recognize my work and don't remember doing it! :erm: I should really cut down on the drinking. :cheeky:

Nicely done.
Little or no frustration at all.

That was fun! :D
[SPOILER]I loved the whispering doctors and modified zombies in the hospital mission. Although, I must admit I spent a lot of time running around hatching spiders luring baddies to them and watching the fun from the rafters. :ebil: That legless zombie scared the crap outta me! Several good scares in the mission. At one point I was running like mad through the halls with the fireshadow on my tail, going "oh sh*t, oh sh*t, oh sh*t, oh sh*t!" until I finally remembered about water arrows. :o [/SPOILER]
About the only improvement I could suggest is maybe some more "decayed and abandoned"-looking textures. Other than that, the hospital was AWESOME! :cheeky: Great job with the custom critters, dust motes, beams of light, and sounds! :thumb:

I ran through the House last night (I'll get to the Hospital within the next few days, I hope). Nice stuff!! Creepy... it's the little things that get me going.
I love the [SPOILER]working curtains!! They even "block out" the light beams coming in through the window! Bravo![/SPOILER]
I also enjoyed standing on the balcony watching the bird fly around. I'm guessing this is NV's raven that I've seen mentioned around here? Nice to see it in action. :thumb:

I nailed the bird with a fire arrow a couple of times. Aside from bumping him a bit, it didn't seem to bother him. :D

Where can I find [SPOILER]the secret lab and his heart ?[/SPOILER] I really must have overlooked something important.

Carefully search [SPOILER]Dr. Meldvin's office. That was the lich's false identity, remember? A switch will open a panel to a secret room with the lab and heart.[/SPOILER]
