I downloaded this FM, and it shows up in my actual Thief FM files as Heimweg.zip. However, it doesn't show up in FMSel at all.

I thought maybe the mission required version 1.24; mine is a puny 1.23. If that's the problem, will somebody please point me to instructions where I can update my FMSel launcher?

If it's something else entirely, has anyone a clue? I'm not techie enough to figure it out.

Thanks,

Nickie, I've been using FMSel for Thief 2 for well over a year now, and this is the first time the package didn't show up at all in the loader.

I tried reloading it, and I tried poking the button that's supposed to update the list; but it did nothing that I could see.

I R stumped.

Edit: Stumped no more, but it's weird... I typed the beginning of the name of the FM, got as far as Heim, and it suddenly found the mission! However, all the other missions disappeared. When I quit FMSel and restarted, the whole batch of FMs reappeared -- and this time, it included Heimweg.

I never had to do this before, manually typing in the name; it has always just appeared when I downloaded it (via Southquarter, on the first post in that thread).

Weird.

Anyway, now I can play the mission.

Cheers, and thanks,

Dafydd

I am so utterly stumped, I'm on the brink of just giving up.

I'm on the ground floor, I assume -- one flight up from the basement. Everybody in the basement and the ground floor is KOed.

I cannot find anything in the room where the noble was looking at a picture. (Please don't tell me, "just look around there!"; that's all I've been doing for two solid hours.)

I found a spider (Moritz) up the rope in the red room, but I have no key to get out the door and into the rest of that level. If I'm supposed to move the tombstone in that room, I can't do that either.

Likewise, I cannot pick the lock on the ground-floor door that leads up the stairs to the second level; I have both lockpicks, neither works. I do have the basement key and the ground-floor key, for what it's worth.

I can't frob the button under the shelves in the basement; I can see a button with an R on it, but even following various instructions, I can't make it work, crouching or standing.

Help! I'm feeling incredibly stupid.

If I just follow a walkthrough, it defeats the whole point of playing the game.

Can somebody please just give me a suggestion what I should do at this point?

Thanks,

D.

All right, I finally got the zip to unzip itself, and I found Way Home as one of the walkthroughs; so I will try again.

I hope I can at least get something going here!

Fingers crossed,

Dafydd
