For anyone interested, jtr7 sent me transcripts of the movies, here they are:

BRIEFING, b23.AVI:

TEXT:
"There is no weakness
but indecision.

No cruelty
but dishonesty.

And no evil
but disloyalty.

Such the creed
of one who serves.

It is what drives me,

just as the wind
drives my vessel

to the distant shore."

SHEAM:
"Good evening, everyone.

The Mission X Project is at a critical junction, as the situation with Lord Raputo has gone from bad to worse--

--considering that his territory nearly surrounds ours, and the last small district linking us to our allies has never been more important.

The key to its control is the Ivory Rose Casino, which Lord Raputo has already made a bid to purchase.

An ally, Lady Antonette, is going to prevent that by drawing Raputo and the casino's owner into a meeting which will be vulnerable to some...intervention.

Dante? You'll be getting in dressed as a nobleman after arriving by stagecoach.

Once inside, discreetly pick up your gear. You will be given notes describing your tasks and equipment in more detail.

We will talk again when we get inside. For now? Good luck."

SHEAM's MEETING WITH DANTE, SUCCESS.AVI:

DANTE: "...interesting thing is, everyone used to call me 'Keith' and insisted I had a twin whose name was 'Keith Two.'"

SHEAM: (Laughing lightly) "That's a great story. You'll have ti tell the others.
But...there was another I was hoping you'd tell me."

DANTE: "Oh?"

SHEAM: "You have such delicate pronunciation, and refined table manners..."

DANTE: "Ohh... It's obvious, isn't it?"

SHEAM: "I'm sorry, that was personal. I shouldn't have."

DANTE: "No. It's all right.

I was born into a wealthy family. I was a budding aristocrat with my own clique of arrogant youths.

The trouble started when I dared one of my friends to rob his uncle.

He wouldn't do it, so...I did.

It was...quite an experience.

My success emboldened the others. Playing 'criminal' became the thrill of the moment.

Until...one of us was caught...and killed.

It didn't take long for the fingers to start pointing. And my terrified friends made me their scapegoat.

When my father learned what had happened, I was disowned.

I lost everything.

Cast out on the streets.

I eventually decided to put my talent to use.

And this is where it led me."

TEXT:
"Friendship, comfort, love...
These are things every
person should experience.

But the true servant
knows the time must come
when he will sacrifice
it all for his master.

--Byron"

I found the bow, but a few seconds after I pick it up, I'm teleported to a hallway, facing a lamp, and can't move, duck or jump. It looks like I'm stuck in the floor.

However, I can select my weapons and inventory, and I can hear my guy (forgot his name) moving and jumping off to my right as I hit the controls.

Any ideas how to fix this? I've been playing for a few hours now, and I'm really not willing to start over yet again, especially after failing the mission a dozen times so far.

That's really strange. All I can say is, send us your saved game. detodd at gmail should be able to handle it. Please zip before sending. Do you get stuck like that EVERY time you take the bow?

That happened to me once too. I reloaded a previous save and it worked well after that. I'm pretty much at playing the mission for the 10th time now, since restarting it never got me past that damn bug. I always end up with receiving no new tasks after completing one of the first two. I just wish I had more broadhead arrows. that way if the bug occurs I can unleash my wrath on the guards (and oh how much I want that).

I'm too experiencing the blue box thingie at the beginning. Got Garrettloader 4.3 and tried to manually copy the scripts since yesterday.............:weird:
Sorry, meant dark loader 4.3......

Did you see the note on the table? Their sarge is waiting for a delivery, and when he gets it, he will come and get them and they'll all leave. If you check your list of chores, one of them is to make a delivery to the Monarch suite (leave it outside the door), where all of Raputo's other forces are holed up.

I don't think I've seen that note yet. The only chore I have is to delivery the scroll box outside the Monarch Suite, as part of the nightly rounds. It's OK, at least I know it can be done peacefully. :cheeky:

I need help finding the key that I must return to Cloud. I was told it's in the theatre, but I can't seem to find it. I will probably find it, after I post this...

I have fought with the black box problem a lot. I was successful finally:

- clean install of Thief2
- patch 1.18
- clean install of Dark Loader (4.3 !!!)
- MX setup (in DL)

and FM starts correctly...

As annoying as the box is, it's there in place of something else going wrong much later on that would be much more mystifying. At least with the stop-gap there, you know at once that the mission didn't install correctly.

That was the theory anyway. :erm:

What is MX setup?

Whenever I watch the videos, I only hear the audio, but don't see the visuals. This was in both Windows Media Player and Winamp.
