Found it! I'm a bit disappointed because I was banging my head against this secret expecting story details or audio logs

Anyways I'm happy now that I've 100 precented this so I can move on to nightwalker

Are you referring to the little lab area below the garden stairs? Because I searched around that place before and couldn't find any use for Garret's code, am I missing something?

just finished this, damn great mod

does anyone know where to find Garret's secret? its the only side quest I didn't complete

voodoo47Perhaps I'm just spoiled! I remember playing The Nameless Mod for Deus Ex and being in awe at how good the voice acting was in it. As for the remade SHODAN VOs - yeah, I've actually played the FM with those. They're obviously excellent.

Marvelous work on this FM. I understand that making a proper FM for SS2 is pretty hard when compared to Thief, given how the kind of game flow that games like SS2 or DX require is best suited to a lengthier experience than what you'd get with your average Thief mission. The community might not have made a lot of FMs over the years, but most of the ones we've got are very good.

My only complaint is the voice acting, which I've found to be very out of tune with the rest of the experience. I understand that this is fan work so that I shouldn't expect professional voice acting, but I couldn't help but feel the disconnection between how on par with LGS' original work the level design was and how amateur the voice logs sounded. Still, this is a minor complaint compared to how well done everything else was. I look forward to playing the rest of the series!

ChristineThanks a lot for your input, good to know, I'll pay more attention then

It never happend to me, but one of my betatesters had this bug one time with cyber moduls.
I don't believe it is associated with the recycler. I'm using the recycler very, very often, but never had this problem.

ChristineFirst of all, kudos to Ponterbee Station (v5), very high level of design, interaction and depth. I'm currently playing Nightwalker (v3) and, despite just getting started, it seems to be just as fabulous.
I wanted to report a (possible) bug that I found in Ponterbee Station, namely the fact that all the Nanites have completely disappeared (I had over 2000). I believe it is associated with the Recycler, as it happened to me after a few uses (20-30) of the same. Fortunately I had a not too old save (20' of game?). I reloaded and just dropped the Recycler from the inventory. No anomalies occurred in the rest of the game.
I don't know if it's a known problem or if it was a case.
Thank you very much,
Stefano

Ehhhh, it's not like it hurts anything being included in the base distro.

Oh god what have I done.

There's a nuclear option: Include SCP's lo-res station skybox in the GOG/Steam/SS2Tool build. So it essentially becomes a vanilla asset.

You're ignoring the third option: Do exactly what SCP does to work fine with or without SHTUP.

There should not have been a choice to make. SHTUP is designed to upgrade the vanilla missions, so if RttUNN just used the vanilla skyboxes, it would be fine with or without SHTUP. The only custom skybox SHTUP adds is the space-with-Earth skybox for use in SCP, but SCP also works fine without SHTUP.

(for example, if you run the RttUNN mission without it, skyboxes will be completely broken).

What? How did that happen? SHTUP-ND didn't even exist when RttUNN was created.

ChristineI don't know if it's just like this for me, but I don't need NewDark 2.48 or SHTUP-ND to run the mod. I just dropped it in .wine/drive_c/GOG Games/System Shock 2/z (z being a directory I created for SS2 mods.) Then I installed and ran the mod in FMSel.

yeah, all issues should be reported here. Christine can fix them, or maybe I will. you want to check the rest of the texts?

I have updated Ponterbee Station to Version 5.
The spawn is working now like it should, I hope you'll like it. 

Kolya has updated the first post 

done. though this is a fix more than anything, so merging it in sometime in the future is probably advisable.

you want the dmls to be merged into the FM archive?

After playing through most of the FM, I think the respawn rate is now spot on. I never managed to clear an area and then relax, there was always somebody lurking around. However, it did not "punish" exploration and make me enjoy more the greatly constructed levels (really nice job with the mall, BTW). It feels how I mentioned before, somewhat higher than the base game. Even if you decide to not include this in the FMs, it would be nice to have it available as an option. I guess many players would enjoy the game more like this. So, thank you very much for this!

in short, they are text files you can use to apply properties to objects without using the editor. great for mods and quick patches.

a dml will (also) get applied as long as the map has not been visited yet.

pretty sure he'd be fine with some spawning, he just doesn't want to bash an endless hybrid flood with the wrench. as far as I can tell, the first level of Nightwalker hits the spot right now - just enough spawning to keep the player on their toes, without being annoying to the point of the player just giving up and running past the spawns to the other level, "ain't nobody got time for that".

This is exactly the point. Respawns are important for the game, and I even think the base game could have a slightly higher rate. However, between having too much and none spawns, I would choose the second (playing with less action is better than not playing at all).

And if I set the ecology-marker to rendertype "Editor only" it would remove the hole spawn?

I'm not sure, what fbr wants. Reducing the spawn or removing it complete?
