Thanks MadWolf :thumb:

Downloaded it last night and am going to play it later in the eve...
Would have played it LAST night but had to try out the Extreme Difficulty Thief Mod I just heard of yesterday (those zombies are NASTY..."Shunned" is a veritable NIGHTMARE with that mod installed :eek: )

I was all worried that FM's would disappear...Guess TDS isn't going to take over the universe like I was afraid it would (I have a last-gen system which would cry rape if I installed it...64MB vid card, 365MBram (give or take a MB).

Thanks Nightwalker. I
[SPOILER]managed to find a box. I'll have to try that again with the rope arrow. It wasn't working for me. [/SPOILER]
I finished but I've gone back
[SPOILER]to try to get into the park. I've been in that room at the top of the ramp and gone through the passage to the other shuttered room, but I don't think I found any park key there... yet.[/SPOILER]

Spoiler:

[SPOILER]The Switch is directly under one painting. You have to crouch to see it - its tiny.[/SPOILER]

Got it. Great ending. Ties things together and also has some unique surprises that make the whole thing even better. Starting over on expert.

The inscrutable po - [SPOILER]There's a closed set of shutters straight ahead of you just after you walk under a pipe. There's a strip of wood above that window that will take a rope arrow. You can get into that window if you want to collect a bit more loot and you can jump from your rope to the top of a doorway (you may be able to mantle up onto it. I've never tried.) From there you can jump across to the ledge and follow it around to the open window. [/SPOILER]

My hat's off to you, Nightwalker... I was unable to get up there that way, although I tried for a good 10 minutes. I found it much easier to [SPOILER]go back a little further, where the ledge begins, and shoot a rope arrow up into the shingles above. It was an easy jump from that rope arrow over to the ledge.[/SPOILER]

I don't know if this is intentional, Madwolf.

[SPOILER]In the prison cell of that guy you free there's a button or something on the ceiling. When I touched it, it checked off my objective, "Leave the diary on the prison reception desk" even though I still had the diary in my inventory.[/SPOILER]

@The Inscrutable Po:

That one slipped by everyone, until you and Yandros noticed it. {He mentioned it a few posts back}.
If anyone on the test team mentioned it then I didn't pick up on it. If there's a Ver.2 I'll fix it then.

Nightwalker and I have collaborated to produce a loot list for this excellent mission. You can get it from Cheap Thief Missions (http://thiefmissions.com/info.cgi?m=MothToAFlame) here. Thanks to epithumia for hosting it.

Does anyone know why those 15 gold are unobtainable or where the gold should have been if it was obtainable? Couldn´t find any clues in Darkloader about it...
