@ clearing - thank you but I don't think that's where I found it because I used it on the watcher to get into Frob's in the first place.

Okay, I got the mirror. That was my only objective. There's no checkmark or anything in my objective list (not even a box for it)... what am I supposed to do now?

Hello! I've come to a dead end, I think. Playing on Expert and been inside just about everywhere. Found location of mirror and managed to do the job in the Power Station. The only place I can't get into is the Police Station. The camvator ride always hangs up at the torch on the gate archway. Is there another way in? I gassed the archer at the top. Is that the problem? I had to as there was no other way to get past him without getting killed.
1. There was nothing marked "cabinet" on my map of Julius' house. It was a blank area.
2. I read someone's post who was playing on expert about killing several guards for fun. Whenever I tried to get rid of an ai that way (like the archer on top of the gate) I failed my mission! Is this a bug?
In spite of running into so many brick walls and having to refer to the thread for some hints and solutions, I'm really enjoying this fm. I hope the camvator problem hasn't made it unfinishable for me.

Dafydd : if you got an on-screen "objective complete" after grabbing the mirror, the mission should finish up. (I didn't have a checkbox either). Hope you don't have a bug.
redleaf : look south from in front of the Power Station - there's a balcony to jump to. Then you need to reach the roof.

And you should see video.

: just wondering - did you install the Cool Codec?

Sorry for all the postings, but I've had a - fairly silly - idea that might, maybe, perhaps, but probably won't, get the camvator to work. (bear in mind that I still can't figure out Dromed).
When I returned to the Hungry Haunt, neither the guard nor the bottle were there. Zontick (thanks again) was kind enough to PM me explaining how to "re-trigger" their presence - & I'm wondering if doing this "re-triggering" (whether they're there or not) might allow the camvator to work.
To do this, apparently you go close to the door to Clegg's (BTW, Clegg's & the police station are one & the same), then walk to the wall (of Frob's) directly opposite, then return close to that door again (I actually frobbed it both times) & then go to the Inn.
I know this sounds idiotic, & is a real long shot, but - any port in a storm?
redleaf: I'd BJ'd that archer, but the camvator worked ok for me.

The archive with FM is updated. Thanks Clearing!

1. Replaced 'Nazi' song (thanks for everyone who noticed that).
2. Camvator fixed AGAIN. Not sure how it works now on yours PCs, but on mine it works perfectly.
3. Rat&Ring bug removed (now you can't shift the rat with arrow).
Play and enjoy!
Warning: old saved games may not work properly with new version.

Edited the first post.

Hmmm... I've been in Cleggs twice, once via the balcony, the second time thru the gate by the water wheel. Never thought those 2 places were the same! Thank you for clearing that up.
Another puzzle: In what I believe to be Clegg's bedroom , it looks like there's a secret door over by the round table. I've been looking all over for a switch or button to open it. Just frobbing wildly now. There doesn't seem to be a key to the room where I think the door leads, and lock picks won't open it either. Any hints about this?
I'll try the reset thing. Maybe it will help the camvator sequence. Thanks again, Sticky Fingers!
