MrMunkeepants open the large garage door and then climb the crates to reach the top of the door.
The toilet in the police station is opened by a lever nearby.

thanks for the tip on the door, I'd missed the controls in the shadows.
still can't find the lever you mentioned, but I'm sure I'll miss a few other secrets as well.
I would like to complete bonus objectives - what do I do with the lantern and lost coins?

Excellent mission John - thank you. I liked your other FMs, but this one knocks them all out of the park. For me, your best FM by far :) Having a blast exploring and discovering - and I still have much to find.

I'm the dark about the first, but on the latter: Look for a frobbable donation platter in its proper environment, it's hard to spot unless you know to look for it.

On that note, I'm looking for hints on that lost Torc.

You need to get on the roof very near your start point, and scout around looking for an attic window that is partially open.

Can someone direct me to the key to the police station?

I am having trouble on where exactly I should use the replacement valve I have found. I suppose it helps somehow with the particle beams in Truart's office?

RJS66: The best way in to the police station is through the sewers. There are sewer entrances in Bafford's garden or behind his house next to the big power station. Once you're inside the station you should be able to find all necessary keys.

Kin: That valve is used in the lab with many red crystals (the dangerous ones) under the bell tower.

Thank you Bosh! :) I actually started with my very first mission and just started updating terrain. That was primarily just a project of mine, and most of the work was done without any objectives or story. Then I decided to actually make it into a FM. :)

The lantern bonus can be completed by gently placing the lantern next to any of the crystals.

The toilet lever is in the servant's dining/barracks room.

Yeah it's kind of strange because I had a save game before I installed the valve and I went back and tried different combinations and the thing turns on but nothing changes even after several minutes.

Are you having any trouble with any other FM? The beam sequence is fairly simple... a lever, a valve (both are just on/off switches) and a RAT which requires both to be on at the same time. Do you see the large beam or only the narrow beam? I wonder if it would help to reinstall Thief 2 and the latest New Dark along with NV Scripts and Public Scripts.
