Well I've been wandering around for 2 hours or so. Even went across the river into that warehouse on the north side of the river with the spider and the 4 hammers.
No BJ, and no sword yet. For some reason, I can't get the gate in the warehouse across the river to open fully to continue on to the customs house.
Yeah the level is dark, but still navigable except between boxes where you've got to use your compass.

Look at my topic, "Who's the youngest DromEditor?"

I have not played the whole level yet, but it looks very familiar. Is there new material or the whole thing copied?
belboz on 16/2/2000 at 04:07
Well taffers, there's rope arrows in the shop, and the blackjack is in a chest of arrows, starting kit is 2 rope arrows, 3 moss arrows, 1 water arrow.You don't need anything else from the shop as the rest is in the level.
use rope arrows to get to items om boxes.
sorry its a bit dark, it was supposed to be.
the gates in the warehouse north of the river should never open, and therefore don't. ran out of concrete objects.
blackjack is in chest near a bed south of river you've got 2 choices
sword is on fireplace near priest novice north of river
There are only 3 rope arrows in the level, they're in the shop
The impossible lockpick box is in baffords warehouse in the damaged stock room, hence its dammaged, didn't you notice the strange water and fire arrows, the rotating barrel, transparent statue, the holy health bottle, the head in a box, the red smoke, the upsidedown banner, the crates standing on their sides and points, and the very strong crate.
And it wasn't beta tested, so i'll be off to check all your findings.

After looking at my posts again Belboz....they seem to be a lil harsh, sorry about that. I do really enjoy the level or I wouldn't want to go everywhere like I do currently. It has some really neat things in it - but I'll try and post some of the things I've found so far:
Possible spoilers ahead.....

1. I currently am stuck and will have to restart if I can't find a way out. I'm in the rooms where you throw the switch to open the area behind the castle gate (hope that makes sense)and the gold Hammer is aquired. I came across the beam and shot the spider and took every1 out in there, but I can't get any of the gates to open and thus, if I go back up to the spider area, it's too far down and I die when I jump. I can't seem to find a switch to open any of the gates, and I did use the key aquired to get to the switch in there.
2. The gates to the warehouses...like I said if you get 12-15 ft from them, they light up and can be opened but not next to them...but, maybe thats the way they are supposed to work. Also in the wshe the furthest west - you can just walk thru the gate on the sides of it.
3. I have to be honest, I still haven't found the rope arrows (I just loaded the level in Dromed & threw 12 in 1 of the footlockers at start point)and I believe I have been most places (3 wshes, guard house where you throw the switch, castle area, ect). Also, does the door where the gem is in the grate w/water on bottom floor open to anything? Maybe I've missed going there.
I like the level and see that a lot of time and work was spent creating it, so I just again want to thank you for the mission and I hope this helps.....

I've updated the level due to the portculis bug, they only supposed to be opened at the custom house, the castle looking building. I've also added an ambient light of 0.25 because of it being too dark, so you should now be able to see things more clearly. I don't think the update is on the main thief site yet, if anyone wants to try the update, its at (
http://www.connect4free.net/home/beeble/) http://www.connect4free.net/home/beeble/
The zip is thiefloader compatable, the rope arrows can only be found in the shop that you get just before the level starts like in the normal theif levels.
!!! Spoiler here !!!
There is only one way in and out of the warehouse, on the north side of the river, its via the metal beam and spider tunnel.
Go to the end of the tunnel, above the river,
face the beam and look slightly up, lean over the river and mantle up onto the beam.
You have to be as close to the edge of the tunnel as you can get and keep climbing till you are on the beam. This works at both ends of the beam above the river. I guess everyone must have rope arrowed up to the wooden block.
Its imposible to open the portcullis in the warehouse, they've got no controls, they're also frob inerted. (they're controlled by the control room in the 'Lost Tower' level, thats 3 levels away from this one, you've got to go through the haunted gem factory and extensive spider ridden mine workings before you get to the tower)

Hi
Please help.
I managed to mantle up the beam.
Opend the gate.
But now there is another locked door before entering the factory where is the key?
I searched everywhere must have missed it somewhere.

After you open the gate, that's it - exit point. Make sure you've pulled off all the objectives and got enough loot (quite hard to sniff out enough of it)

OK, can anyone help with a hint? How do I get across the water, and where do I go to do it?
Granted, the water is only a foot deep and I can walk across it, I can't get up on anything to get out of the water on the North side.
Thanks
belboz on 19/2/2000 at 03:53
there's two ways across the river to the north, there's the bridge, it's got a dirty big bust crane leaning on it, or the beam, but the beam only goes to one place, past a rather nasty spider, and the reason the river is so low is explained in a document in bafford's warehouse.
Although the real reason is it would have added an extra 4Mb to the level to have deep water.
