Excellent mission. Two thumbs up! :thumb: :thumb:

I liked the way the mission unexpectedly just grew and grew, and there were a lot of fun moments, like:
"I don´t have any skeletons in my closet".
Yes, you do!

I found 1700/2180 loot and 12/17 secrets myself. Now I am mopping up the rest to see what I missed. The skeleton lounge was a great little extra that I had completely missed. :cheeky:

I have now seen all the secret places (I think) except one, the skeleton dining area. It´s supposedly found by turning one of those bronze knobs on a hammer statue down in the crypts. Does 'hammer statue' mean one of those gigantic hammers? If so, I have been trying to scan every square inch I can see on those hammers, to no avail. There are 8 such hammers, one in each corner room. Can you please tell me exactly which hammer I should check every square millimeter on?

Or, if I have completely misunderstood, kindly nudge me in the right direction...

Only two thumbs! :mad: :joke:

Thanks for the comments.
[SPOILER]
Both of the secrets in the crypt are located in one of the alcoves with a large hammer icon. One is in one of the corner rooms. The other in one of the "between" rooms. I think the one you are missing is located in the corner room. From the middle room exit through one of the doorways. Go to the end and turn left, go to the end. The hammer icon on the right is the one that you want. I believe the secret knob is near the floor in the alcove. Hope that helps. I know there are two exits to leave the centre room, you want the one opposite where you pickpocketed the skeleton for his key. I think![/SPOILER]

Give me a break...that´s all I have. :cheeky:

Now I feel stupid. I had already been in that place. It was another secret I´d missed, the pillar thing in the other crypt. (which I had actually manage to loot earlier without opening it :ebil: )

Enter edit_load_game saves\quick.sav

I am attempting to get round the same problem, but when I enter this command nothing seems to happen. I am still looking at the original mission in Dromed. I have tried this lots of times and know I am putting the correct command and path\filename in.
If I save, dromed outputs a small 'from editor' file of 9kb which cannot be loaded.
Any ideas?

Is your Dromed patched to the same patchlevel as your Thief installation?

You're a top man SS!:thumb:

I've recently installed 2 new HD's and reinstalled all my Theif stuff.
forgot to patch dromed !!:tsktsk:

Back to the game now, only segeant's room and Jail to get in.
what triggers the AI (in former room) to wake - this has not happened. I have been everywhere else.

I think its a room brush. So if you have wandered down the corridor he should be there.

I forgot to pick up the first monkey head and the gate to gain access back to that area is still locked. I have all the keys (I think) except for that one and the one that opens the closet in Sinclair's room. Where is the key to Sinclair's closet and to the gate.

Also, where does the "unfeasibly small key" go?

Clock on 27/9/2008 at 03:56

Now I'm really confused. I found the 21st key which opened Sinclair's wardrobe or closet. I hoped to find the key that opens the gate to access the first part of the mission in that wardrobe, but no such luck. Also that
21st key doesn't itself work on the gate. All guards are knocked out. The only thing left for me to do is that thing with the monkey heads. But I can't access the first head. Is there a 22nd key? Does that tiny "unfeasibly small key" have anything to do with it (that's my bet). What does that open??

It's been forever since I last played the mission, but I think it goes to the tiny door behind the cluster of bookcases in a small library (I think it was a library...).
