PS. Where the heck are the Inner Tunnels?

The entrance is secret in the library\music room. It becomes accessible after putting the chess figure on the board and hidden behind the curtains, so it is hard to find even after the chessboard activating.

Thanks for that but finished this mission a few hours ago, but am replaying it as I'm writing a very much more comprehensive walkthrough (for all difficulties) than Ricebug's, I agree that one is really not good.

is also broken

I finished it yesterday, everything worked flawlessly for me. 1.1 version.

And that is what also happen with baeuchlein, weirdly he discovered my save of the CTD I posted at Shadowbox did not cause a CTD with him, so I loaded that same save onto my spare laptop and hey presto no CTD, but on that occasion the cherub walked past the occasional table that you need to frob and stops in front of anther bookcase and looks at the Craybeast cage, this means that the table did not become frobbable, which is exactly the problem Lady Taffer initially encountered.

So what the heck is going on I can't say, but Glypher also played this mission yesterday and discovered many many issues that need addressing including the final goal reversible, so there will be a dml in the near future.

Glypher had found the problem of the cause of the CTD, it's caused by the DromEd Deluxe gamesys, which this mission employs. Unless explicitly removed, this gamesys will have the "M-AlertCapHigh" metaproperty added to any object descending from the "Creature" archetype upon receiving either the "ProjStimX" or "AlertStimX" stimuli. These are never removed, so some objects end up with hundreds of the same metaproperty.

This issue will not occur if you have T2Fix 1.27e installed together with T2FMDML, since dedx.dml (MODS\T2FMDML\dbmods) fixes this issue.

If you do not have FMDML package installed the problem can be fixed with this dml

Code:

DML1
//T2 FM: What've You Found Little Fly? by Christopher Lafond (Xorak) / Fixes: cplrun.gam.dml

-ObjProp "Projectile" "DeathStage"
-ObjProp "M-SilenceEffectX" "Fungus"
-StimSource "Flame" "FireStim"

Receptron "Creature" "AlertStimX" 0020010A
{
Effect "add_prop"
{
"Prop Name" AI_AlertCap
}
}
Receptron "Creature" "ProjStimX" 00200148
{
Effect "add_prop"
{
"Prop Name" AI_AlertCap
}
}
Receptron "Human" "AlertStimX" 002000F7
{
Effect "add_prop"
{
"Prop Name" AI_AlertCap
}
}

As for the issue with the cherub walking past the table and looking at the Craybeast instead, this issue is yet to be resolved.

In the meantime I have written a new walkthrough for this mission, Ricebug's walk has limited information and as commented above is next to useless in some respect.

How do I know if I have T2FMDML installed?

And with what file name do I save the DML?

You would have checked it's box when you installed T2Fix, but you can check if you have installed it in your Thief folder/MODS folder, should be there as T2FMDML, if there make sure it's also in your cam_mod.ini Mod Path, but it should be there automatically.

; these are normal mod paths which are applied after the active FM in the search order
;mod_path MyBowMod+.\TexturePack
mod_path .\MODS\Thief2 Fixed+.\MODS\Subtitles+.\MODS\T2FMDML.

If you didn't load the FMDML package when you installed T2Fix you'll need to repatch with the latest T2Fix, make sure you check BOTH the Common Scripts Module as well as the FMDML package, if you do not install the Common Script Module you won't install the FMDML package.

i repaired the red and yellow cables , but what happened after this ?

fortuni on 3/12/2022 at 15:06

Read the scroll outside Embalmers Crust's room, it tells you he doesn't like the lights on, so find a find to put them out.

radogoal on 3/12/2022 at 15:22

i left the room after repairing the wires on the left side and run to the room with the 3 generators. there is a lock ,which i can't open and therefore the little sliding door above don't open ?? :confused::confused::confused:
