Backdoor level: There was no message when that level's objectives were done (big "Objectives Completed", that is.) Dr. S's speech (backdoor_done_1) needs something ("Good Job") to let me know it's time to leave the level. I didn't know. I know there's the generic "Press ESC...

Hmmm. See a few quotes down, where you say, "....You should have used the Dishes." I couldn't activate the dish on this plateau without finding the control tower, so I couldn't send the squaddies though the Dishes to this far plateau. ... Ummmm... really? Yeah, I did play the original wit...

Backdoor level: there was no control tower for the dish on the far plateau. By design. I didn't really see a reason to have one there. Hmmm. See a few quotes down, where you say, "....You should have used the Dishes." I couldn't activate the dish on this plateau without finding the contro...

Hi trickfred, I just finished EW I, which was the first mod I've ever tried.

MissingArmour.jpg - This shot is a bit later on the same level. There were a few times where the left button stopped placing new items, and I had to quit the program and re-enter. One of those times, Armour I'd placed at the near end of this "corridor" was gone when I came back. Is it pos...

Hrm... I see what you mean. I don't think I have ever seen anything like quite like that. What do your graphics settings look like? Especially the z-depth (or whatever that setting is...). xander Screen settings are full-screen 1920x1200, Z buffer depth is 24 bit, all the detail settings are High a...
