Alright, so does anyone know how to finish TOT Escape?
(late to thread) ive managed to finish half of the missions, [SPOILER]I found a rope arrow near the place that flings you into the water[/SPOILER]:tsktsk: in TOT the escape. the funiest one ive seen is probably Incubus, with the gaurds laughing:laff: and where do i vote?

Bugs! That level is supposed to complete after killing that guy! Consider yourself finished there then and skip the mission by pressing Ctrl/Alt/Shift/End together.

difficulty: normal
comment: At first I thought the mission consisted only of the large hall that you start in but soon I realized it was much larger. The part with the many doors was a good idea but it would be more fun if the room wasn't pitch black. The AIs had trouble finding me in the dark. Also, while one of them was stalking me, I heard the sound of an explosion and the AI died. Weird.

comment: A tedious exercise. This did feel much longer than ten minutes.
houserob
date: 12-08-06
started: 9.06 pm
finished: 10.16 pm
died: 14 times
difficulty: SA
comment: I was soooooo relieved when I finally finished houserob. It took a while to figure out how the gravity anomalies worked and how to best kill the servants. My tip: dump them in the anomaly by the tree and watch them fly. Lots of bugs and (intentional) mistakes in this one. A blue City Watch guard is frobbable. Pick him up and then drop him, he will disappear halfway into the ground. If you're on the ground level, look up at the tower: the entire outer wall has been turned invisible by the Dark Engine. By the way, I found two easter eggs.

finished: 6.43 am
died: 1 time
difficulty: normal
comment: The trigger for the mission objective "Get your eye back!" does get unchecked if you use up all your flash bombs. It's not THAT bad a mission apart from the mix-up in objectives, an invincible guard and the strange behaviour of the arrows. I could imagine this being a real first time mission. There are worse downloads on Thiefmissions that aren't part of the contest.

difficulty: normal
comment: Can't finish this mission. Still. This had a few nice ideas like the skeleton under the hammer or the door to nowhere. The readme says it is an actual testing mission by a first timer and it shows. Objects were hidden at very hard to find places and that is not a plus. I gave up when I couldn't find the medallion.
Having Regrets
date: 12-09-06
started: 7.31 am
finished: 7.54 am
died: never
difficulty: Guards
comment: Having Regrets isn't even that bad, just boring. It is also a very easy mission once you realize you cannot get caught. Is it just me or is the urn not frobbable at the start of the mission?
Incubus

started: 8.03 am
given up: 8.23 am
died: never
difficulty: normal
comment: Can't finish this mission. Every time I kill the giant, the guy starts floating in midair and I can't continue with the next scene. Skipped this scene and encountered more bugs in the later scenes: objects disappeared, levers didn't work and I couldn't get out of the bed.
The JOKeR
date: 12-09-06
started: 8.25 am
finished: 8.56 am
died: never
difficulty: Sux0rz
comment: The fight against the JOKeR was awesome. I badly wanted to complete the mission at that point, so he didn't stand much of a chance. I liked how the paintings in this level disappear when you get closer. The long fall in the middle section was a nice touch as well.
Kill the Guard

finished: 9.10 am

difficulty: Kill
comment: Imagine a level full of these buggers. That would be a unplayable mess.
The Kill Factory

died: 1 time
difficulty: normal
comment: Very stylish. This was actually a fun mission and I'd love to play a longer one with the same visuals. I did see the bee for a brief moment at the start of the level. What's up with that?
The Cube

started: 9.32 am

died: 4 times

comment: Can't finish this mission. I have no idea what to do, don't know how to avoid the traps and therefore die all the time. Not fun.
The Drop!
date: 12-09-06
started: 9.45 am
finished: 10.04 am
died: 2 times
difficulty: normal
comment: This mission features interesting architecture and a nice skybox. There is a key hidden somewhere which I couldn't see. I found it by randomly clicking on possible hiding places. There is also a chest that couldn't be opened. It possibly is a red herring. Why is this called "The Drop!"?

comment: Can't finish this mission. The mask is out of reach and Granny's Fly'n Potion doesn't work. The level design is incredibly sloppy. But it isn't funny in the least. I know this contest is about bad fan missions but you have to give me something to laugh at.

comment: The author should use this idea for a proper, longer mission. It's quite a challenge to figure out the best way down and past the guards.

comment: At least I didn't have to find an invisible key or jump through a wall to complete this mission. The haunts on the last level were tough but due to faulty scripting they couldn't get to me when I was standing on the slope. Still, I died 11 times trying to take them out.

Some answers:
[SPOILER]Walkin da Moon - loads of coins scattered on the floor, especially in the room where the "king" patrols - they are hard to see and annoying - the whole point of course!
Tcrap - you have to jump to the coin. You can see it shining in the darkness - pointless but funny!
QP - there is a switch behind the letter "U" - you have a long way to go with this one :cool:
The Drop - the key to the chest is behind the couch on the top floor.
Kill Factory - the bee seems to appear a lot but randomly. I got stuck and so saw quite a lot of him.[/SPOILER]
Yandros on 9/12/2006 at 13:11
houserob - You have a couple more eggs to find! :D
OMG - That lift appears to work randomly. You have to keep trying the button. Also, the key to the room upstairs in the police station is on the belt of the cop patrolling right outside it.
Chuffy Train - I agree.
Sluggs on 9/12/2006 at 13:38
I just KO'd everyone in "Chuffy Train" and the mission ended OK! :ebil: Someone should line all the bodies up and take a screenie! :D :laff:
The_Dude on 9/12/2006 at 14:18
Hmm I did that and nothing happened. :erg:

How about you post your questions about these missions in the separate threads for each one rather than using this stickied thread? It's getting rather cluttered.
