Ah, right, a missunderstanding. I thought you had already been in the captains quarters. You need to explore the guest quarters first. This will trigger the captains transition.

So I went all through the guest quarters again, then went back to the helm and the captains quarters and still no captain, red light still on. So something must be wrong, I don't know what it is that I am supposed to do to trigger this transition, since I am not supposed to be seen by anyone??? I'm about ready to shelve this one, shame because I was looking forward to the last 2 missions.

Not sure what's gone wrong there. When you first knock on one of the occupied guest quarters door, the person inside should come out, briefly look around and then go back in. This should then trigger a voice over saying "I need to get into those occupied rooms". This then allows you to pick up the Captains Invites from the kitchen and at the same time sets off the captains transition from his quarters to the helm.

I don't know why this hasn't happened for you. I know this is quite a repetative level and the last thing you'll want to do is re-play it, but that seems to be the only solution, I'm sorry to say.:(

OK, guess I will restart the level and see if it works. I could have swore that I did see that message, but for whatever reason, the captain doesn't feel like working...haha:cheeky:

Hi, excellent missions. I am on mission 7 and saw this huge rat going into the portal but I am unable to follow him into the portal because the opening on the second floor is too small for me to go through. Is there another route to get to the portal?
Again thank you for theses magnificient missions.:thumb:

Ok, thanks for the constructive criticism.

This was never a hobby for me, this was just something I chose to do to pass the time during a financial crisis in my life. A possible one off. So I didn't do it for you or anyone else, I did it for me and I released it to the community as is, just because I could.

As I have stated before in this thread, I was entirely new to this 'game' and didn't know all the relevant procedures that are expected of a - as you put it - 'quality mission pack', which is something I knew I would never achieve on this occasion. I accepted the limitations of my ability and the limited time I had and did what I could with it. And let's face it, if everyone produced flawless, quality mission packs then we'd all be game level designers by profession.

I have learnt a lot during this journey and I now understand the extent of what is required to produce flawless missions. So if I was to do this again in the future, I would be more dedicated to the project and thus, more thorough in my testing and more professional about the end product.

In the mean time, this mission set is, as it is, bugs and all. Others have played it and commented on their enjoyment of it despite it's flaws. But hey, if you don't like it or don't have the patience for it, that's fine, it's your prerogative, don't play it, it matters not to me.

"do to pass the time" - might be a hobby, j/s

No mission is flawless, and I suppose I should rephrase, This is a quality mission pack (what i've been able to play :p) and one of the best T3 ones out there... if only it worked. I'd compare it to tires that didn't quite fit right on a high performance vehicle.

Why rule out working on it more? Say, letting others help you get to the bottom of some things and how to fix them... could be something simple, IDK but I bet someone else does

does anyone here willing to help me and to answer my question.:confused:

" I am on mission 7 and saw this huge rat going into the portal but I am unable to follow him into the portal because the opening on the second floor is too small for me to go through. Is there another route to get to the portal?

Thanks for the appreciation!
Look for the bonfire on the second floor, and study it in great detail

A hobby is a favourite subject or occupation that is not one's main business, and this was far from my favourite occupation, especially with this editor! Anyway, enough about that.

Your appreciation is gratefully received.

I'd have no issue with fixing the bugs myself if I could recover the scripts from the .ibt files. I no longer have the original files and don't fancy trying to re-write them. So that is why I've not done so, I'm sorry to say.

Mission 7 - Need some help here! Following the trail and gone through my rival's room. I can see a grating on the opposite side of the street and a broken ladder. Looks like I have to make another olympian leap - from the rail. Really tedious!!!

If I'm on the wrong track can somebody put me right please? If not I would appreciate a post-leap save - I'm not going to waste my life on another 57 tries.

Otherwise this is an interesting mission and I would like to finish it.

This leap is easier than the Mountain one. Just jump up onto the side railing and run and jump. The ladder is easily reached even if you jump a little too early. Or at least I found it to be anyway.
