used Darkloader

use FMselect (NewDarkloader) and see whether the problem prevails. if it does not, stop using darkloader, windows98, steam powered cars etc. and live happily ever after.

also, NOT listening to whatever downwinder says is highly recommended.

windows 98? ... very funny I am using Windows 7 Ultimate ... wow ...

that's why i wait for the result and answer so get things working well ...

youtube part ... very funny ... i guess there's no such thing as cool peeps ...

funny failed, I suppose. anyway, as I've mentioned many, many times now all around this forum, if darkloader is giving you trouble, trying FMselect (which is the recommended tool for loading FMs when using NewDark) would be the logical step, and if that resolves the problem, you should stick with that.

was serious about that downwinder part though - he has.. (http://www.ttlg.com/forums/showthread.php?t=145343) issues.

@ darkwater - there's a key list in Ricebug's walkthroughs (http://www.ricebug.net/thief/thief.html) 2010 Volume Eleven.

Link was broken but found it here, (http://95.31.27.16/manuals/FM_Walkthrough/) http://95.31.27.16/manuals/FM_Walkthrough/ (file is T22010_V2.zip)
edit: oops, just noticed the official site is (http://www.bogadocious.com/thief/walks/walks.html) here, shoudda looked harder..

On another note, maybe a noob problem, but I got stuck for a long time since I didn't have "auto-search bodies" option turned on, and didn't see the key on the (blackjacked) guard in the downstairs hall part of Marionel's place, and because of that, couldn't get the next key for the portcullis gate.

This mission is huge and a bit of a nightmare keyhunt, but with no in game map or compass it's all to easy to get both lost and rapidly bored, but I made a map and with it you should find your way around the map more easily and find it is actually quite well built map, check my lootlist (https://drive.google.com/file/d/1XJblmDlfpLc8Mrm7rvoCZJfSCujtfv3Q/view?usp=sharing) here

Note: There is a area behind the altar that you can fall down to your death which we did not fix (by placing an invisible wall) as it appears that this was the author intention.

Fixes:-

AI
Object names (lantern, pails of water)
Misplaced objects (tables, scroll, shovel)
Non drop book
Loot (3 x gems now have 0g value)
Pocket count
Block Frob (brick, ghosters may wish to remove line 2966)

i might have said this before but i loved this mission and wish more people would make fan mission of the earliest history of thief Karath-Din Era,do the keepers go back that far? so much to wonder about
