Zacharias,

Nice atmosphere!
Well done!

By the way, about the intro avi, I don't exactly understand what is being said before the text "A Lazarus video production" is displayed ; can anyone please transcribe it into text ?
About rope arrows, I think I never needed more than one at a time and finished the mission in expert with 4141 loot, which I believe is decent enough out of the 4768 total.

Zacharias, about the pickpocketed key in sewers, thanks I found the locker but it was the right en route where sewers continue, gate key near a wall, sorry for this late reply I been busy loot hunting, although with 4518/4768 I am pretty satisfied with. :D

Ah maybe it was the right route, i forget..but it's in the sewer bit anyway.
Yeah the briefing movie was done ages ago..(and I really should have finished this mission ages ago but didn't).

Well if you want to explore the Thieves Highway a bit, you will need a couple of rope arrows... :ebil: :joke:

I could make a huge list of everything I loved about this FM but instead I'm just going to say that for me this was perfect. I played T1 when it first came out and I've been in love with Thief ever since. I play the FMs and have started having a go at making FMs for TDM. Sometimes I ask myself why haven't I moved on to something else? Why am I still part of a community that glorifies a game that is over 20 years old? Most of the time I cant find an answer tbh. I just know I love Thief so I still play the FMs and try and contribute to the community. However there is the odd occasion that an FM I play reminds of exactly why I love Thief. This FM has done exactly that and for that very reason I am extremely greatful for your brilliant work. I very much look forward to part 2.

Wow, I have missed this mission and boy, what a blast. Mesmerizing is the best word I can find. I am like a kid in a candy store with all these break-in opportunities and rooftop adventures. This mission is really awesome and truly remind me of Calendra's Legacy, and the sheer size of it coupled with the fact that I keep stumbling upon new areas tell me I am very far from the end even though I ironically completed the main objective first by total chance. :D

Thanks for the great comments taffers..it means a lot that people had fun with the mission despite the problems with textures and some clunky bits.
Sir Taffsalot - thanks for your kind words. I don't think Thief is 20 years old yet though is it ;) 15 is still anicent in this industry i guess. But I think DromEd is still a great vehicle for a story based mission (despite it being well behind graphically) so I hope Thief still survives for another decade or more.

This mission does not function on my computer. The title screen comes up and the list where I can choose the difficulty and I can also go to the list where to load. But when I want to start the mission the program crashes. I get the Message from Windows that Thief2:The Metal Age does no more function due of a problem and it is closed and I will be informed when a solution is available. (That's a standard Windows message.)
Of course I've set to one CPU.
At first I've thought that there is a problem with the movie. (Some missions are crashing when they try to play a movie.) So I have changed the name of the file B20.avi to !B20.avi so that the program doesn't find it - this helps normally when a movie crashes Thief 2. But here it doesn't help, so I think the movie is not the problem.
When I try to load the game with DromEd (from DarkLoader) I get the following error message:
bounds.max <= HACK_MAX_OBJ (File: objsys.cpp, Line: 1454)
(Yes to trap, No to exit, Cancel to ignore)
(Such messages are often found when loading a mission with DromEd but normally this doesn't matter - when I click to Cancel the mission normally loads correctly.)
But here when I click "Cancel" then I get the message from Windows that DromEd.exe does no more function.
What could be the problem and how to solve it? The other fan missions function correct. I have also tried to install another fan missions and then Bones again, but I get the same error.
My computer:
Windows 7 Home Premium, Service Pack 1
HP Pavilion dv7 Notebook PC
5,8 Windows-Leistungspunkte
Processor: AMD A6-3410MX APU with Radeon(tm) HD Graphics 1.60 GHz
Installed RAM: 8,00 GB (7,48 GB useable)
Systemtyp: 64 Bit-Operation system
61,0 GB free on C: where Windows 7 is installed.
Thief 2 starts as "C:\Spiele\Thief-Serie\Dark Project 2 - Das Metallzeitalter\thief2.exe".
Has anyone a solution to the problem?
The .zip seems to be okay, it doesn't show any errors.
