Good news. I'm mostly done with the translation. :)
Can I kindly ask the community regarding the following:
1. I will need someone to proof-read it, please.
2. It would be good to beta-test the English version of this mission, in a way. The meaning of the translation may vary depending on the gameplay. (I don't have Thief installed)
3. Perhaps someone could look into how the files are arranged. Not sure, if this will be an English stand-alone FM or do we go for a multi-language version (both English and Polish).
In short: one person would probably do. Proof-read and beta-test a little. Nothing serious, but something required to have a good product delivered to the community.
Last, but not least. It's a great FM! I haven't played it, but from what I read in the text files... it's witty, it's funny, it's got a great storyline plot. Thief at its best. Come on, English community has the right to play and enjoy it! :cool:
I'll be postijng the translated files tonight. It would probably be better to take it off the forum, until it's ready and then release it, but I leave it to the others to decide.
Timon - since you say it will take you some time (meaning a long time!) to finish the mission, perhaps for now a translated current version could be released? This will give you time to finalize, modify and polish your FM and release a full version at a later date.

Has anyone finished this one successfully? I HATE ever leaving anything unfinished! I know we're supposed to wait for English...
I did the book burning part and now there is a burnt manuscript in the fire that I can't pick up - there's the plaster piece in the cellar with blood on it I can't pick up, and I have in my inventory a wax mold or something I can't use anywhere and what looks like a bundle of cloth or something that I can't use anywhere, though I noticed there are tons of these cloth bundles around town that frob but don't do anything! I've noticed a bunch of mail boxes that highlight but not sure what to do with them. I left one bottle of wine or medicine or something with that guy upstairs who appears to unlock a door that has nothing in it. I have a painting in the office near the safe that highlights but can't do anything with - and there is the tray in the hotel that highlights but doesn't do anything. There is also one building with three different doors none of which unlock or pick, and Garrett says something in text when I highlight them.
Any clues would be great, thanks!!

Okay, a little bit of progress since I just posted that last...
1) Somehow I missed the door to the house across the canal from the huge locked building - inside was a sleeping man who if you wake you lose the mission. He has the key that you have to use the plaster/wax mold on.
2) The tray in the hotel is for "tips" - not sure if you have to leaves something there or not
3) The room that the guy unlocks for the bottle of wine/medicine you leave him contains one of the plater pieces - check the corner
4) The "blanket" was some kind of package - you take it to the upstairs office in the warehouse and swap it with another package and you get some kind of jeweled band which ticks off another objective.
So now I'm running around trying to figure out where to turn this key mold into an actual key - any ideas?
The large locked building appears to be the bank. I used a rock to bash open all three doors and they are just false - just brick walls behind them. I translated what Garrett says when you highlight them and he is saying it is the bank entrance but he's not prepared to enter yet - so I'm guessing unlocking these doors leads to the end of the level once all other objectives are complete?
Also, in the warehouse on the floor is some kind of seal or manhole cover that is partially covered by a crate - it highlights but no idea what to do with it?

Also, all the way down from the hotel to the right as you exit, above the door to the canals and across from the warehouse - there is a second story balcony with a metal door - any idea how to get up to it?

Judith from the Polish forum informed me that they already made a translation. LOL It seems I copied the work.
Thanks for the proof-reading offers I got via PMs. In case this translation is still needed, let me know. Hopefully the English version will be released soon. I wanted to help.

Dammit I can't stand to leave something unfinished, but even after tons of progress, I just cannot get any further! Really wish some people would come back to this thread!
Really want to know
1) What do do with the key mold
2) Where to find bottle number two of wine
3) How to get second number code
4) what' with the seal in the floor of the warehouse

Okay, managed to stumble across the second bottle of wine in a house at the north end of Plac Marszowy - inside is a hallway and one room with a woman standing at a table and a man sleeping. Out in the hallway next to the barrel with a slashed banner, look on the floor in the corner.

So at this point I have made the key copy but no idea what it goes to - all I have left is two locked green safes and the bank doors.
Still don't know what's the deal with the highlighted seal in the warehouse floor
Still don't know how to obtain the secret/second number code
Still lacking three plaster pieces

What's the status of the English version of this FM? Anyone know?
