Thanks NightWalker! I would have never thought of that.

Regards Part 1:
For some reason, I'm not getting any of the conversation that would probably be important to the continuation of the level, but still receive a few grunts and warnings from guards.
Specifically, meeting Basso is supposed to result in a conversation between Garett and Basso. I don't hear any. Reading a message close by results in a guard warning me not to try to go any further. I no longer hear that warning. But in a different section of the map, I hear a guard's reaction to my beaking in through a door.
Is this spooky weirdness deliberate?

No, it shouldn't work like that. There is definitely something wrong. The conversation at the gate with Basso is quite long. If you have a fast connection, you could try downloading the mission again in case something went wrong the first time. Also, I'm sure you've already read this, but do you have the patch for Thief 2? It's necessary that it be installed to run CL properly.

Thief2 Product ver = 1.18
I already re-installed the mission pak. Doesn't fix things. The strange thing is, it worked ok a couple of weeks ago when I originally downloaded the FM and walked around a bit.
I may re-install Thief2 and see if that helps. One thing I noticed....on the Audio Tab in Options...the speaker test functions properly, but I can't adjust Hardware Acceleration, or EAX
Setting, both of which is turned off. That, I think, may be the source of the problem.
All sorted of other things could be at play here. I'm now operating under Windows XP, and recently suffered the Klez virus. That bug corrupted everything.
Anyway, thanks for your help and I'll post a followup either way.

Ok....re-installing Thief2 has solved my problem, though I'm not totally convinced it was the Hardware Acceleration / EAX to blame.
I'm assuming I will return to this level after which I can snoop around more. The objectives can be accomplished without checking out 3/4 of the map !!! Am I right in this, or should I be thorough now?

Firstly there are some great side missions and story specific bits.
Secondly, if you miss out the side missions you'll have very little loot to carry over to the next mission - therefore less equipment.
Thirdly, to be frank, Purah et. al. put so much work into this it would be a crime not to check it all out IMHO.

I'll play the level as if I won't be coming back to it then. I like to be thorough :)
This is an odd question : I don't seem to have "Creep" as an option. Is this a function of the fan mission, or do I have yet another issue to deal with. When I re-load the original Thief2, the "Creep" option returns.
Taliesin on 26/5/2002 at 20:57
Looks like you have another issue - and I really don't know what to suggest. Not only do you have "creep" in CL, but boy oh boy you need it.
Clock on 26/5/2002 at 23:08
That is the most bizarre problem I've come across. I've scrolled down the list under "customize controls" and Creep is not offered !! Yet I play Thief2 the normal series, and its there right under Block. How on earth could that happen !
Clock on 26/5/2002 at 23:13
Also....in case somebody might suggest it, I already loaded the default Thief2 settings to see if I have Creep as an option. Nope. But if I leave CL and play the standard Thief2, it appears.
