Tony has undergone a redesign and The Speakeasy has begun. Have a great year, folks.

Great to hear from you again, sir! While I'm here, were the video embeds visible to you? I need blank space 
*the elevator is basically the most clunky script I've ever done 
| Quote: | - The animated lift shaft texture is 65 frames with a 40ms delay between each, 65x40 is 2600
- I ran a check from mission start that activates a signal in the 'controller' script every 2600ms, deactivating it at 2601 and looping it again
- Once the player presses the lift trigger, the controller script checks for the signal, and once the signal is detected as 1 it teleports the player (recording position and rotation and duplicating them onto a frame 15m upwards in a duplicate lift shaft), at the precise moment of frame number 1 of the animated texture |

All the embedded videos were showing correctly 
As for the elevator, wow this is ingenious! That's a really complex algorithm you invented, and it flows seamlessly throughout all these cycles. However did you come up with this idea? 
I think no matter how clunky you feel the script is, the fact alone that you've implemented a feature that, as far as I can tell, was never meant to be supported by the original game - this in itself is amazing! A true display of resourcefulness! 
As long as we have such talented and passionate people this game will never die |

Odd, so perhaps something with my Chrome as Firefox seems to have no problem. As of roughly two years ago, Chrome apparently fails to load the embed frames and I just get a big invisible space.

Through lacking any other option, I guess it isn't foolproof, all wait XXXX timings seem to rely on framerate which is logical, but that does pose a risk to the sync of you drop more than 3-4 frames consistently. No other way of preserving my beloved wall lightmaps, though.

Modding is such a wind-down activity, I think you could take a break for 20 years and one day still feel like reinstalling it for the nostalgia. Plus it's what is so nice about these old games, right? In the age of Live Service, there's a constant risk to anything we 'own', especially digitally. These old games are forever preserved until Windows becomes unable to support them anymore (at which point I'm off to live in a cave with a copy of XP).
Thanks so much for still taking the time to comment, man!

I'm using Brave which is essentially the same Chromium driver underneath. The fact that Chrome is acting up but Brave isn't is just bizarre.

I totally agree. As much as I love my Steam collection of games, there's nothing quite like owning a physical copy of an old-school game with no need for always being online, which you know no one can ever "revoke" or otherwise take away from you due to expiring licenses, servers being shut down and other non-sense. Long live Mafia!  |
