I'm pleased to release my entry for the
2nd Thief Reloaded Contest ((
http://www.ttlg.com/forums/showthread.php?t=137367) Contest thread). The mission is called "A Dire Return" and is based on the Thief 2 OM "Running Interference".
* Story *
Quote:
The nobility of the City provide a solid base of income for people like me, especially if you know
where to look. Of course, breaking into well-guarded estates is dangerous and requires proper
preparation. A little tip is all it takes to convince most servants to share some information with
folks like me. One of the best sources of information, Sarah, works at the Rumford Manor and has
been supplying me and Basso with a constant stream of useful gossip. However, nothing has been heard
of her for the last two weeks. Basso and Jenivere want to meet me at the Crippled Burrick Inn to
decide what we are going to do about her. Personally, I don't really care about her, but if she's
been caught she might tell the blue coats about our little deal.

IMPORTANT:Please make sure that your Thief is properly patched to version 1.18 using (

not work with an outdated version of Thief 2!

You really need to slap an epilepsy warning on this mission.

Congratulations on the release intruder!
I am having problems getting the mission to run, once i get into the game, click 'new game', click 'A DIre Return' to get to the objectives screen, it crashes and you get the Windows error you must exit Windows.
My other FMs and the OMs work, I am running DarkLoader v4.3 and WIndows XP SP2.

Many thanks an congrats to intruder for the release from me, too. :thumb:
Also had the crashing problem when i tried to start the mission. Renaming/deleting B30.avi in the subfolder MOVIES fixed this.
