Sabotage at Soulforge is drving me crazy!

There is something really wrong here. I'm playing Sabotage at Soulforge and hoping to finish Thief 2 for the first time on Hard difficulty. But for some bizzare reason the Objectives haven't been marked as complete and won't let me finish the level. I've made the Beacon and placed it on Slot 2 and activated all 8 signal towers. I've even tried to return to Bay A and out of the double doors to finish the stage but nothing happened. I don't know what is going on here. I've reffered to three different walkthroughs and according to them I should have done it by now.Can someone help me out here?

Welcome to the forums! :)

Check (http://www.ttlg.com/forums/showthread.php?p=1251686) this thread. Post again if that doesn't help.

Well I've actually read the blueprints for both the regulating round and guiding beacon.Was I supposed to read something else as well?

If the the objectives are not checked off. Hit O and read the list and post the ones that are not done.

As for walkthroughs, forget them. They are not always correct, nor do they show you the many different ways to complete a mission.

Check that you have the convict.osm file in your Thief folder. If not, you can get a copy from the original Thief 2 Disk #2, in the THIEF2 directory.

Well here is my current objective list:
1.Learn how to use the Guiding Beacon to draw the servants to the Mechanist Cathedral
2.Do not let Karras find out what you're up to or he won't detonate the servants
3. Once all your goals are accomplished get outside the cathedral

and none of them are checked. I have convict.osm in my Thief 2 directory so that's certainly not the problem.

Goals 2 & 3 will get checked off when you're done with the mission. For objective one, I think there's a book in the blueprint room that tells you about what the guiding beacon is for & how to use it.

Thanks everyone, I managed to finish it. It turns out that I had then instructions in my inventory all along but I just didn't read them. And now Karras is finally dead *dances*
