Please!!! EITHER set this really horrible self-made ambient music to be an ambient so it can be properly disabled OR remove it!

Right now it's a really annoying sound effect overlay alongside the regular ambient sounds of LoG. To turn your ambient off one has to turn all sound effects off which is a no-no in a game that requires to listen to the surroundings! For my own sake (before my ears start to bleed) i'll halt playing this mod until it's properly defined as ambient.
ahahah !
then stop to play because I won't change anything now ;)
There's a reason LoG has volumes sliders for "ambient music" and "sound effects".

The snails must be on all the plates to open the secret door.
The fireball button is only to help you to kill them when the door is open ;)

Hi, thanks for the great dungeon, but could you help. I can't find the key for twin doors to 'last battle' on level 4. I've just done the Titan bit on level 9 but that did not seem to achieve anything. Thanks Ian

You need the last Temple key.
have you find the UNIQUE key ? and open the UNIQUE door of the level 1 ? There is a Temple key there...
There is also a Temple key at level 9, just before the corridor with moving walls "45 seconds to find the good way"

does it help you ?

Thank for the prompt response!! Now the greenie meanies are making me crazy. Green weapon in a green hole? (I got it) I am thoroughly enjoying this masterpiece.

What fine job this effort is.... CHEERS!

Pandafox,

Just wanted to say thanks for a great mod. I just finished it (v 2012c) and the experience was great. Wonderful immersion, inventive puzzles and great final battle. I love how you "reused" map areas that changed the map when you retraced them a second or even third/fourth time through. It was all about quality, not just quantity.

Yours is one of two mods I feel are a step above the others I've played (the other one being Mines of Malan Vael).

Suggestion for future: make the ambient "music" run as music, so it can be disabled in the menu. I did enjoy the sounds, despite them being an unusual choice for ambience (sounds like you used FM synthesizers/Yamaha DX, amirite?)

Anyway, looking forward to the upcoming CHAOS mod!

thanks Flowbee ! :P

The strange "music" background was made by one of my friends.
I like it because I feel as "Lovecraft" atmosphere... But it is only my opinion :roll:

I learned a lot of things by making the MASTER key and the next one will have a lot of customs assets (made my some members of this forum) and I write a lot of special scripts to make new puzzles.
The 2nd level is almost finished ;)

wait and see

You may like it but others may not. If it's supposed to be "music" then why won't you set it to be this mod's "music" too? Right now it's "sound" and since LoG has only one master volume for "sound" your "music" drowns the regular game sounds, which i.e. makes locating things pretty hard.
