Hey everyone just wanted to report that the in 2001 FM "The Wickerman" by Majic (Mark Cole) is uncompletable (on expert difficulty) in its 1.1 version, the objective to steal the cult leader's ring doesnt spawn in his finger.
This means that most of the reposts of this FM online have the broken version of it. On cheapthiefmissions ((
https://thiefmissions.com/m/wickerman)) you can still get the working 1.0 version, which has a difficult to maneuver cave area, but i take wonky cave over unfinishable FM any day.
Hopefully this helps anyone that might want to replay this small gem from the past.

I was able to grab the ring on 1.1, but it took a while. I ultimately had to drop the guy's body on top of something like a rock or crate first, so he'd lay above ground level.
*checks file version*
Oh, wait, apparently I was running v1.0.
Never mind. Please disregard.

I've just grabbed the ring off Shadwick playing both v_1.0 v_1.1, he's actually holding it between his fingers in his left hand.

Fixes:
- improved goal fulfillment
- the final goal now completes correctly
- goal 4, 5, 6 are now irreversible
- goal 7 is now irreversible after mission completion
- quest items (Shadwick's signet, Riena's doll)
- arrows (DeathStage 12 bug)

Well, i wasnt using this DML fix, maybe thats it?
Default 1.1 version of the FM, downloaded from taffers paradise, seems to not really show up the ring on Shadwick (attempted on all difficulties).

The Ring is there, just d/l from TP and frobbed it but no couldn't see it in that version.

The ring was invisible for me in a DML fixed v1.1 as well, but blind-frobbing Shadwick's hands yielded the ring anyway. Just pretend it's a Ring of Invisibility which was improperly made by a dim-witted Mage adept, and now makes the ring invisible instead of its wearer.:cheeky:

I thought i had replied weeks ago, but sadly it seems i forgot to properly post!
So, I Just wanted to thank Glyhpher for the fix! The community is soooo fast in maintaining all these old FMs in working order! :D
