A quick glance in the zip-file revealed the culprit to be the soundtrack, as two of the tunes used in the game (in. What mostly caught my attention about this FM is the size of it - 360 Mb. So hang on to those flashbombs if you tackle this FM. I had to abandon the playthrough near the end, where a laundry list of ingredients for a spell suddenly appears, and I realize that one of the ingredients involves killing a common variety pest with flashbombs, yet despite all my efforts I could never accomplish that and I had run out of flashbombs many saves ago. The town layout is a little weird as every house is in a neat square walled off by really high walls, and then suddenly there's a huge manor that ignores the standard layout.

"Once again" pretty much describes this FM perfectly, there's no new ground being treaded here. Once again Audiolog Syndrome rears its ugly head. Once again Garrett's inventory fills with strange items. Once again the number of objectives grows and grows. Once again he learns of a lucrative plot and tries to gain all the spoils himself. Once again he must recover his gear and wreak havoc upon the town that imprisoned him. Once again Garrett finds himself with no equipment in jail. Meanwhile I had a quick taff around in a FM I couldn't remember or recognize: "A Lucky Hand". Common sense showed me that it was better to merge the two and just keep a text file of my favorite FMs handy. I used to have two sets of FM folders - one with a "dump" of every FM I could get my hands on (within reason - see previous post) and then one with my favorite ones. Don't you think it's time to get ANIR 0 out the door soon? DrKubiac we're now three months away from the 10th anniversary of the release of "A Night In Rocksbourg 3". Combined they take up a gigabyte of space which I frankly think can be spent on something more worthwhile.īut on the upside I found a few more FMs I've never played and look promising, so I'll be giving those a go.įinally. SoulTear's "Keeper of Infinity" missions, for example.

That brought the number to about 775 and total reclaimed space to a gigabyte, but there are a few missions in there I'm itching to get rid of.

Then I sat down for a long spell and went through every single FM (800+) in my archive and purged duplicates, foreign language FMs and many "Hold my beer while I DromEd this!"-type of FMs that I have no interest in keeping around.

:/ Considering my archive is based on KOMAG's DVDs and then downloads from various FM sites, and that at least one of the dead zip-files was from 2001, I think it may be time for a massive overhaul of the Fan Mission archives in general, not just on my end. Fortunately I could re-download or re-zip most of the troublemakers, but to my surprise even some of the downloaded FMs returned errors in a second testing run, and flat-out refused to run despite all my efforts. Then I thought about testing all those zip-files and got about 1700 errors thrown in my face.

I was surprised where I found some of these 'squatter files' - were it not for the fact that the author of such classics as "Bad Debts" and "Disorientation" has retired from T1/T2 FMs, I'd give them a stern lecture on how to clean up their zip-files.
#THE VERY ORGANISED THIEF 2 UPDATE#
Update on my cleaning efforts: After identifying and purging a few commonplace needless files, I regained almost 400 Mb of space from within my Thief archive.
