Fix for Crashes !?! :idea:

I think I found the reason for the crashes that some of you (and myself) see from time to time.
The tnhScript.osm shipping with this mission does not have the same version as the other tnh-script files.
If you experience crashes and would like to give it a try, please download the tnhScript 2.1(http://thiefmissions.com/telliamed/index.html) here.
EDIT: From the ZIP, extract tnhScript.osm and drop into LittleFly.zip so that it replaces the existing one there before installing the mission.
I just made a quick but complete runthrough on EXPERT and had 0 crashes.

@Xorak, I also dropped NVScript.osm.
Doing so did not fix the problem by its own, but since it is not used at all (if I understood correct), I decided to kick it.
Maybe it has some conflicting scipts? Don't know. At least I noticed nothing missing or not working doing so.

The tnhscript.osm file in the mission zip is dated 11/05/2005, but probably because i always have the v2.1 tnhscript.osm file in my Thief 2 game folder, the one from the mission zip doesn't replace it. So i have been playing all along with the 2.1 version, yet i still got crashes every now and then anyway.

I also noticed loads take slightly longer, then other FMs, even big ones.

Congratulations with your first FM release, Xorak :thumb:

Good point !
But maybe there are other taffers like me who have no scripts installed at all by default.
I updated the description above to prevent people messing up their scripts in case they have tnh already.
At any rate you could try to delete NVScript.osm from the mission ZIP and then reinstall the mission.
It should not be used any more by the mission.
Hell, I don't know. At least I don't have any crashes anymore. :D

Just made another quick runthrough.
On HARD with the tnhScript replaced, but this time leaving NVScript.osm in place, so the mission can find & use it.
The first crash appeared after 3 minutes in the game.

Try this : after installing the mission, TEMPORARILY rename NVScript.osm to something else.
Start the game & load your savegame and see if it helps.
Do not forget to restore NVScript.osm afterwards !

My mom is passing away, so playing thief is a way to keep my head free for a while....
I'm loving this one but completely stuck. I haven'r found the hook and the skull keyUpstairs there's a metal door I cannot open and I tried thowing water arrows at the cistern to no avail
Any help is highly appreciated, thanks

Sorry to hear that, maga.
And I do not know what to say. One of my most beloved aunts passed away 5 days ago. Terrible.
But for sure that is no comparison.

For your questions:
For the hook check the big hall with the demon and check Stephanus' room for the key.
I have no idea what cistern you mean or why you might be trying to use water arrows it.
For sure you are on the wrong track... whatever you are looking for.
:confused:

Stuck I have placed the red and yellow wire but I do not know what this is supposed to do?? I opened the switch for the lights. Where do I go after this?? :confused:

EDIT: OK I was standing in the way of the steel hatch for the other light switch, so it did not open before!!

Did you throw the right switch ?
The one above the lock ? The purple light nearby should light up.

And a new AI should have appeared.
