http://img39.imageshack.us/img39/9692/thief22009053109101338.pngThis is the ladder leading to the radio beacon thing from the experimental basement lab in the Soulforge level. I had just activated it, my last one to complete the objective, quicksaved, and started back down... only to run into this. I can't blow it up, frob it, pick it, or shoot through it, and there's no alternate route out of the room I'm now trapped in. The guide at (
http://www.thief-thecircle.com/guides/keeperchapel/t2main.asp) doesn't mention the grate at all, it just says "when you go back down..."
Please help. D: Alternatively, is there a way to no-clip, or console command force an object open in Thief?
If I can't get past this I'd need to restart Soulforge from scratch, and I don't think I have the willpower to do that. This level's enormous and mostly running down empty corridors. Urrgghh.

What the... I've never heard of anything like this before. It's never happened to me. Have you tried unflipping the beacon tower? If that doesn't work, do you have an earlier save? If no, I think you're pretty much screwed and will have to restart. Still, maybe someone smarter than me will have a solution.

Looks like you are just going to have to restart the mission.
Have fun! :ebil:

Regarding the ladder. Is this the one by the turret that takes you to TOWER
3?
Your pic is a little dark and a pic of the grate doesn't give enough detail to actually figure out WHERE exactly you are.
The walkthrough (I hate WT's by the way)
Figure 6
"Climb the ladder next to the turret (figure 6) and the ladder on top of the building to get to Tower 3. When you come back down, jump to the opposite side of the wall (to the north). The switch controls the vault doors with nothing worthwhile behind them. Jump in the water and swim south through the passage, go east to the water arrows, then north and west into the next tank. Grab 2 more water arrows and climb the ladder into the room. Climb the ladder in the room for a vine arrow, then go back out into the hall and east to the elevator"

This is the second report of this problem I know of.

I suspect that button on the wall above the ramp is getting pressed by an AI, probably accidentally by a combat-bot. A DromEdeer might be able to shed light on whether the fact that the turret-bot and security cameras are linked to the same RelayTrap (587) as the button and grate are has anything to do with it. Hmmm... That MaskedGuard is also linked to that button. So, if the button wasn't just bumped by an AI passing by, maybe you were spotted. Shouldn't be too hard to experiment with this hypothesis. Too bad it's a game-breaker, though. :(

I let the Masked Guard see me and he whipped around and pressed the button, closing the grate, just like a guard running to sound an alarm! I don't know how you were spotted after you made it past the grate, though, and you would've heard it closing. Did you drop something down the shaft?

I sprinted through the chamber and up the ladder with no regards to stealth, since on the quickload previous the turned off lights came back on on their own while I was scoping out the room. :p

There is a cheat that serves to open all the doors, but i think if you reload the saved game, it do not works, i don't know, i never used it, but try to do it.:thumb:.
P.D: sorry about my english.
