found it:
[SPOILER]The Safe key goes to a safe (which looks huge in these tiny rooms) right out in the open, but not in the room with the secret paintings. The purple box on the bottom floor has the key that works in the lock box on the top floor (Secret Key), but the key to the purple box (Probation Key) is hidden behind the small painting in the secret paintings room on the top floor (whee!).
There's a button in one of the wall lights in the room with the secret paintings. Stands out if you're looking right at it, but can be missed because I don't ever think to look at light fixtures (except maybe unlit torches).[/SPOILER]
Very easy mission if you get rid of both gaurds immediately. Might be more interesting if you try to ghost it, but it's still not much of a challenge since every light can be turned off.
There's a bug with objectives though:
[spoiler]Getting the blue Byzantine diamond automatically finishes the last objective as well, so you don't have to get out of the building to complete the mission.[/spoiler].
Absolutely tiny mission. Even if the two gaurds aren't blackjacked, still only takes a few minutes.

Komag's posted an updated file for this mission:
(
http://www.keepofmetalandgold.com)
Just spent 8 minutes on it and completed the mission. The diamond objective actually shows up as completed now (instead of failed like it did before (?)), but it still ends the mission without having to leave through the front door (though I did open and enter the front entrance as soon as I got out of the pantry to drop the key in there (for no reason other than to not have to tab through another key)).
Here's the fixes from the text file:
[spoiler]
=============================================================
* UPDATES *
From 0.52 to 0.53 (20030129):
- fixed bugs in Objectives
- fixed light switch on 2nd floor (Monty's meeting room ceiling lamps)
- fixed ambient sound radius (too small to activate environment in 0.52)
- fixed inability to complete Byzanti Diamond objective (can't target loot)
- fixed objective text to reflect 2500 less loot due to the above
=============================================================
[/spoiler]
Obviously not everything was really fixed.

I am having trouble finding one (maybe two keys) and would appreciate some help
[SPOILER]There is a lock inside one of the rooms behind the paintings that I cannot open. There is also a box hidden at the bottom of one of the bookcases.[/SPOILER]
I have a feeling that this is going to be one of those things that I wind up kicking myself for, but spoil me anyway. :cheeky:

Doomed, you might want to check the other thread about this mission as it has a lot of information about the things you need. I think I remember
[SPOILER]there being a hard to find switch on a light?? (trying to remember off the top of my head) In the room with the lockbox behind the painting I think (??)[/SPOILER]
Doomed_Fool on 5/2/2003 at 07:21
:o
I knew that this mission was fairly new and didn't see any mention of it on the first page, so I didn't use the search function. Next time I will know better (Search is my friend).
Thanks for the info.

I'm playing this FM and I think I've hit a bug that may prevent me from finishing it. So I'd like to know if anyone else has run into this, or knows what's going on with this.
On the second floor, there's a room with some green plants in an L shaped planter. There's also 3 lights above to illuminate the plants. There's also a desk in this room. I hope I've described the room well enough so you which room I'm talking about.
Now here's the problem
[SPOILER]Hidden amongst the green plants is a frobbable switch. It's really just a red button that has to be pushed. When I try and push it, nothing happens. I don't hear any sounds, nor do I find anything different. Is this a bug, and the switch really isn't working, or is it doing something and I just haven't found it?[/SPOILER]
So does anyone know what's,going on here?
Nightwalker on 23/2/2003 at 16:35
That won't stop you from finishing the mission. If you watch when you push the button, the lights in the garden slowly go off (or on) after you push it. That seems to be all it does. What are you stuck on? :)

Hi Nightwalker,
Well, if that button doesn't matter, then I think my problem is I need to find a 3rd key. I have 2 so far, the front door key, and the safe key. I have found the big green safe and opened it. But now I'm up in one of the 3rd floor rooms. There's a painting that gets moved with a lever near a desk, and then in that secret room is another lever, that moves a second painting. Inside that secret room, is a gold treasure chest, and a lock. The lock can't be picked open, so I assume I need a key. I don't know where else to look for that key? As far as the objectives go, I need to find the Byzanti Diamond. I'm playing on easy, so I have the loot objective taken care of. I'm assuming I need to open that lock if I want to make progress in finding the diamond.
Btw, now that you told me what that button does, I see it does turn those lights on and off. :erg: Thanks.
