Since I just played this mission, I thought I'd pass along the 8 of 10 secrets I've found:

[SPOILER]
1. In the "entrance area" or "garden" area with green walls, opposite the door that opens with the Garden Key (between the Garden and the main Hammer area) is a statue. On the right side of this statue is a post with a switch. Throw the switch to open a crawlway. (Beware of spontaneously spawning zombies!)

2. To the east of the green-and-white floored entrance room of the Hammer complex (with a small fountain) is a staircase. Midway up the staircase is a metal door leading to a room with coin stacks and a readable. (The readable is a strong hint.) Frob one of the five coat hooks behind you for the secret.

3. From the same entrance room, go north then west then north into a library (this is the library where a guy is reading "Lawn Care for Dummies"). Frob a book on the right side of the back bookshelf to lower a ladder.

4. From the same entrance room, go north then east to a left turn in the hallway. Go in the door to the right to a storage room. Remove the crates in the back corner to reveal a switch - throw the switch for the secret.

5. If you're traveling through the cemetery, enter the tomb at the end and look for a switch behind and on the right side of the coffin right in front of you. If you're traveling through the root cellar, go past the large gray/blue walled corridors to a crawlway with brown walls to a dead end. The switch is on a hole in the ceiling above you.

6. In the small building opposite the entrance to the cemetery (west of the main complex), stand on the pressure plate in the back right (opposite from the sinks) to open the secret. (No, it won't close on you instantly - you don't need to place rubble on it to keep it open or worry about it locking you inside.)

7. On the second floor of the main complex (above the west stairs), travel north in the hallway with blue wallpaper as far as you can go, then go east to a wooden door on the north. Enter this room, and frob a book on the right side of the bookshelf on your right. (This is the way to the attic without ropes - beware of trapped chests in the attic.)

8. Follow Secret 2's opened route and cross the top of the room containing the Horn of Valance - frob the large gear on the north end of the room (or rope arrow up from the floor of the room). You will be noticed by the occupants of the room as you sneak across the high rafters!
[/SPOILER]

Hope this is useful. Has anyone found the other two secrets?

I had to re-install my Thief 2 recently, and when I attempt to play this FM I get a "Direct3d device driver does not accurately report texture memory useage" error. But I did reinstall my video card with the latest drivers :confused: and it runs the original game just fine. Am I missing any extra scripts, bug fixes, etc, etc? I have no idea what I originally downloaded to my TMA folder from here for FM purposes... :erg:

I'd really like to play this FM...

(DrK's A new beginning, also works fine).

Edit:NVM, either something is wrong with the archive at komag.net or it didnt download right for me, different linked file is working just fine :)

Edit:Nice mission. Lots to explore. Kept me quite busy.
