Problems with Mr. J's Ring - by equilibrium

Yeah, I also couldn't finish this one due to the objectives bug. If there are no problems with releasing a fixed version, you're very welcome to do that Iceblade

How do I open the box in the starting area? I got both lockpicks and two red/orange keys. None of them work.
Where is the ring in the crypt? Just in case I don't remember picking it up: Does picking it up add it to the inventory as a single object rather than simply adding it to the total loot?
And finally: Was Iceblade's fixed version of Mr J's Ring ever released or can I finally forget about this terrible and broken fm?

How to open the box: There's an upstairs room with some barrels, push brooms, etc. Look on the floor near the brooms. Use the key on the box in your crate and THEN open the box. You will then
have a blue key.
Where's the ring: Look for a blue room with 5 masks hanging on a wall. (In the crypts. You need the key from the box first.)

Thanks for the tips! I was able to open the box. Could you be a bit more specific about the location of the ring? I looked around the
crypts, yet did not find
a blue room with five masks or the ring itself. I'm adding a link to a screenshot of the place. Where exactly is the ring?

Alright, I restarted the mission from the beginning and found the ring right where you said it was, Ricebug. The objective even did tick off, maybe because the ring was the first piece of loot I collected. The only objective that didn't tick off in the end was the lockbox one. I wish the author at least had released the mission in a playable state.

Any interests or problems with releasing a fixed version? Any other suggestions regarding changes?
I'd be interested in a fixed version, if it hasn't been released already.

I just sent two personal messages, one to Rabid Bunnie Wabbit asking for permission to edit and re-distribute the mission, and a second to Iceblade about the fixed version. I'll post in this thread again when I get a reply from either one of them.

OK, this doesn't help for the objectives, but maybe you want at least to read the readables.
Although it does not help much, at least you can get the full idea of the mission.
1. rename the file 'Book Of Dead.str' to 'Book Of The Dead.str' (the book in the blue room will have text after this change)
2. edit 'Garrett's Diary.str' and put the following in (quite a lot of text is omitted ingame because of bad formatting)
EDIT:
fixed readables can be downloaded via the link in the next post
