Bug in Shoalsgate Mission?

intruder on 20/12/2007 at 15:49

I was starting to play Thief 2 (1.1.8 german) again and after starting the Shoalsgate mission, I noticed something strange in my objectives list...

I played on expert where you are not allowed to knock out any guards but the "don't knock out more than 2" (hard) and "don't knock out more than 5" (normal) where still in the list.

All the times before this never happened to me...

Then I just knocked out one guard (for testing purpose) and the mission was lost, but the next strange thing was that not the "don't knock out any guard" objective was canceled, but the "flee from Shoalsgate Station" objective.

So is this a common known bug or something new?

Well, at least I have that one, too. Seems like you have to stay on Expert. :erg: SAT.1-Version, isn't it?

@Beleg Cúthalion:

I've got the "normal" Thief 2 version, not from SAT-1 and I was not switching between difficulty-levels. I sticked to "expert" right from the beginning...

Code:

fiction_0: "Die Mechanisten haben in Shoalsgate eine Alarmanlage installiert, die von mechanischen Augen oder W„chtern ausgel”st wird. Verhindern Sie, daá jemand Alarm schl„gt."
text_0: "Verhindern Sie, daá die Wachen oder die mechanischen Augen Alarm schlagen."
fiction_1: "Sie haben riesigen Žrger, wenn die Wachen herausfinden, daá Sie in die Sache verwickelt sind. Schalten Sie deshalb h”chstens fnf Wachen aus."
text_1: "Schalten Sie keinesfalls mehr als fnf Wachen aus."
fiction_2: "Sie haben riesigen Žrger, wenn die Wachen herausfinden, daá Sie in die Sache verwickelt sind. Schalten Sie deshalb h”chstens zwei Wachen aus."
text_2: "Schalten Sie keinesfalls mehr als zwei Wachen aus.'"
fiction_3: "Sie haben riesigen Žrger, wenn die Wachen herausfinden, daá Sie in die Sache verwickelt sind. Verzichten Sie in Shoalsgate auf jegliche Gewaltanwendung, um Ihren Plan nicht zu gef„hrden."
text_3: "Schalten Sie keine Wachen aus."
fiction_4: "Finden Sie in Lt. Hagens Bro ein Beweismittel, mit dem Sie ihn belasten k”nnen."
text_4: "Finden Sie ein Beweismittel, mit dem Sie Lt. Hagen belasten k”nnen."
fiction_5: "Hinterlegen Sie das Beweismittel in der Schatzkammer im dritten Stock."
text_5: "Legen Sie das Beweismittel in die Schatzkammer im dritten Stock."
fiction_6: "Stehlen Sie die Geldkassette aus der Schatzkammer und verstecken Sie diese in Lt. Hagens Bro."
text_6: "Stehlen Sie die Geldkassette und hinterlegen Sie diese in Lt. Hagens Arbeitszimmer."
fiction_7: "Fliehen Sie aus Shoalsgate."
text_7: "Fliehen Sie aus Shoalsgate."

After I found the handkerchief of Lt. Hagen, the goal "Don't knock out or kill more than five guards." was labeled as "done", not the "Obtain a personal item of Lt. Hagen's in his office." - goal....Everything seems to be mixed up somehow.
