Hallo, here is my new Fanmission for Thief 2, it's called The Body Snatchers/Die Körperfresser(release27.06.10)
hope it works well without any bugs etc. Thanks again to my Betatesters and to Tannar for proofreading the english texts!

EDIT, here you'll find an Update Version
(http://thiefmissions.com/info.cgi?m=Bodysnatchers)

Different between the first version:

Game ends if you kill an innocent (a little misstake in the Mission Quest Data)

After you killed [spoiler]the real Largo, the Castlegates are open now[/spoiler]
Every room where you meet the Largos have an Up/Down Switch now.

Cool downloading now :D

Thanks for this new FM!
One suggestion though: could you edit the title of this thread and include the missions name along with the release date? This will make future searching for the mission much easier :thumb:

Please don't rely solely on free file services to host your mission. Send it to Thiefmissions, Southquarter, Darklurker etc. That way we have a much higher chance to download your mission a couple of years from now.

Congrats on the release Basso71!
Damn, ran into problems already. :D

I just encountered the thieves robbing the pagan, but can't get pass the gate with the very long wall. Also when i was chased by the purple thief, he just freezes when he should be just about to attack me. If i move away he chases me again, but no attack. His just stuck in his attack pose.

shadows - Use the crystal you found at Ash's place in the blue niche near the gates.

Here's an aggravation free download link until the main hosters make it available. :thumb:

Spooky atmosphere and looks good thus far - haven't gotten past the first gate with an elevator yet due to breaking the mission (I think).

I tried bashing the wooden door in which brought the woman outside to investigate and then I blackjacked her not knowing that I'd need to hit the bell (which I assume is why her door is locked?) so that was a rather funny restart. Hindsight is 20/20 and all that.

I bashed the door to her open and she came out and appeared to say something then ran off. Guess I'll restart and ring the bell. :laff:

[edit] Oops, different door, different woman. [/edit]

[edit 2] I love the slow motion potion!!! (slomopo?) [/edit]

Lots of neat little touches (like being able to steal faucets!) and I really like the atmosphere and theme. Bonus points for showing what a far away switch does in a cinematic fashion.

Also - for those of you who want a tip on making the mission much easier before you battle your way to a readable for the tip: The haunts outside and inside the castle are blackjackable. Knowing this ahead of time would have been nice, but it will definitely save some time on the second time through. I like the little scenes that play out for backstory and the weather and overall atmosphere are spooky and great.

I'm a bit stuck:

I've made my way into the room where you discover what's going on and I've opened the cell door (and the guard inside has run away) - I see a part on the wall that looks to be open-able but can't find a switch or how to proceed. I also can't find the guard that was released from the cell. Does he run off and disappear or am I missing his destination - I've searched everywhere.

I also can't seem to locate a key to the lock box in the room with the switch that opens the gate near the haunts.
