Were fixing their mistakes now? Hehe, Awesome. Alright, glitches ..think kcghost .. think ... holy crap I actually came up with something.

Runway: That one door isn't "Locked". (if they are gonna piss us off about what could have been behind it, they should have at least locked it, lol)

Dam: The begining big door does NOT need to be locked. I mean, cmon. And the ending clipping is messed up. (The end guard rails dont block you, try leaning on one )

Depot: Coloring erorr on guard rails in amunition room? Is it just me or are those green? Was that intentional? Also the half-armor is placed half in the wall in that on warehouse, umm its in (sorry didnt have debug on) Also, that pipe, leading from that warehouse above the ground leads to the other side of the level but stops and cuts off in the air with no realistic end.
ALSO (Depots gotta lotta bugs) windows are not windows in "the Depot House". Cant unock the Garage door (Depot House) from insde or outside, not can you the bottom depot house door.

Caverns: The water is more detailed (higher res) in the second water room than the first! Then in the third water room it goes back to being low res. Also, "Picked up CODE CARD" does not have a period, and uses capitlas too much. (Im on a roll!) Also, bad lighting causes the elevator panel to be black at the end.

Silo: Extra Ladder on other side, and no rail on door side (begining). Picked up a cicuit board has no period and is all capitals again. Messed up colors on light endings (See my Silo Mystery) as well as other light anomalies. Ouromovs key, you know the deal. And .... aha! No elevator panel.

Cradle: No guard rails at the sides going down to the "Cradle House". ANd one of the rials is a little misaligned, didn't find any biggies.

Surface: All the windows have slight cracks, lol.

Certain graphical things would be very hard to correct. You'd have to hack the background data and reconfigure where the textures would be. Adding in the missing railings is something I wouldn't even try getting into just yet. I'm trying for things that can be fixed with the knowledge we possess right now.

You did find some definite fixer-uppers, KC!
Both the Circuit Boards and the DAT are missing a period in their pick-up text. Viewing "Ourumov's Briefcase" in the main watch screen is a little tricky. The image of the case almost seems to overlayer the first line of text. When you pick up his key, the text is fine. But inside of your watch it appears as just a hyphen. There is also no graphic for it.

I always thought Ourumov's key had no graphics for a reason. Also, some of t5he doors might have been made that way oin purpose, I mean, how could someone miss the bunker doors being wrong in multi?

I know what you mean about the Bunker jail cell doors, PTB.
But if you want to be accurate to the mission, they should have been the correct images. It may have been done to prevent people from shooting their opponents through the doors. Which is pretty silly, since you can hit them through the bars, anyway.

That Runway door isn't a door at all. The reason it doesn't respond to your actions is because it's a textured wall. You'd have to put a door in to cover it in order for it to read "this door is locked". This would require you to create a door, lock it, then try and find the exact sizing and coordinates to place it where it has to go. Not really worth it, when you think about the work you'd have to do.

The door at the beginning of the Dam is a door, not just a texture like in the Runway. This means that, unless you want it to open, it'd need to be locked up. It may be possible to set it up so it doesn't display text, but people already know that it is a door. How else did Bond find his way into the Dam? He rode in under the supply truck and dropped off at the entrance.

Those railings in the Depot are coloured green in both of the warehouses that contain them.

I think the water in the Caverns stage uses the same textures for all of the areas, but the sizing of them is different. The first and third areas stretch them out to fill the space, while the spiral location is closer together. Also, the water underneath the blue catwalk that leads to the Cradle elevator appears to be a bit better looking. This is only a theory, but I can't say for certain just yet. It does seem like the same textures.

[ptb]

Hey, in the facility (front zone of course) in multi, some of the doors are missing all in one area. It is one of the blue rooms with the tables with the test tubes on it. Also the double doors leading to the green hallway are missing. Is this intentional or mistake?

I'd think it was done purposely to keep the action flowing in that area.
Much like the cell doors in the Bunker ii multi map, there's no way they could have made it that way accidentally and not noticed. The Temple weapon sets on the other hand, now that was a big mistake. Horrible mistake.

[zoinkity]

I also think Facility's MP weapon sets are screwed up.

I did make an old gs code to eliminate teh silo vents and ladder at the start. Most likely it caused the rest of the stage to crash ;*) It was a sort of spur-of-the-moment thing, after all.

Silo doors can be corrected easily. -and I prefer Statue's old sky.

In Aztec, some beta glass are left over in the ceiling in the hallway near the shuttle.

In Caverns, Alec has an automatic shotgun rather than a D5K. And on his hand, there is a ring.

[Wreck]

I had thought about Alec's weapon change, but his weapon changes again into an AR33 Assault Rifle on the Cradle. He probably tried arming himself with whatever the next best thing he could find. When James Bond is after you, you need a whole hell of a lot more than just an army.

The glass in the Aztec ceiling is texture.
If you check out either the island on the Dam or the biggest warehouse in the Depot, you'll notice more of it. They could have been place fillers at one point, but never replaced with real panes.

It seems to be logical. However, where we can find the weapon cache containing automatic shotguns (Caverns) and AR33 (Cradle) in those levels (Caverns and Cradle)?

If Alec got'em, is it possible for us to find'em?

[Wreck]

All of the guards defending the Control Center use D5K's, which would explain why Alec has one of his own. He actually used one back in the Facility, so that'd most likely be his weapon of choice. The Janus Special Forces that appear at the end of the Caverns mission are armed with either RC-P90's or Automatic Shotguns. They spawn into the stage as you are attempting to cross the bridge over to the elevator. Janus no doubt got it from wherever they did. A few of his body guards enforcing the subterranean water caverns are equipped with assault rifles. One of them must have given him an AR33 just outside of the Cradle elevator.

[Wreck]

I've found a bunch of other spelling and grammatical errors throughout the game. Some appear in the briefing, while others are displayed when someone is speaking or you acquire an item. Many aren't super noticable, such as a missing period. GoldenEye is barely ever featuring an uppercase "E" in the name. Certain words are all uppercase, which I suppose was done on purpose to show emotion. Both "HALT!" and NOW!" in Archives are prime examples. I hate the term "Got safe key" in the same mission. It doesn't sound proper. Perhaps "Given safe key." would be better? There's a few things that could be removed from each language file. They aren't directly used by anything that can be seen. I believe they include extra text for your "Weapon of Choice" selection. That's only ever seen for weapons, so why they put it in for keys and items is unknown. Filler for the renaming function? Could have been, but they could have also simply used the same string instead of creating a new one.
