if you keep rubbing against the books in the compound you might get stuck and glued to them!
its really hard to unstick
how are you supposed to find artemus's secret passage
Orfeus21 on 11/1/2006 at 15:04
very funny guys
i dont usually get stuck on book libraries on any thief missions so i thought it was kinda weird when i was lookin for the frobable book for the torture chamber!
but now Im in tunnel13 in the end and i cant find a way out of it...
where is the switch for this passage? did the books give any clues?
and really there is no need to be sarcastic when it comes to aiding someone tryin to finish a thief fan mission... some of you who live in the thief 24/7 universe can find anything but for others who just enyoy the game its hard to find impossible glyphs and switches!
:tsktsk:

merci,DrK: Now I can finish this great mission.:thumb:

Good stuff, DrK, particularly the 2nd mission. Good atmosphere, great use of sound and music. Really liked the ambient music in the safety area streets and the French speech made the Souls stranger. Sadly, there were some formatting problems with a couple readables; I think one of the Mechanist diary files didn't have all its pages there.
I don't know where the other ~1000 loot is hidden. Perhaps some clever taffer is writing a lootlist and secret list?
Oh, and I agree with SlyFoxx's comments about the lockpicking. Requiring 30 seconds to pick a lock when there's nobody near is just a needless annoyance that detracts from an otherwise splendid mission.
Good job! Looking forward to part 3, and drop me a line if you need help.

fingernail : :laff:
Orfeus, the "stuck bug" happened to me in several fms. It doesn't happen only in mines.
[SPOILER]In tunnel 13, at one of the dead ends there is a female zombie on the ground. Near her, there is a metal wall. Look on the corner of that metal wall, in the water -> hidden switch. And don't you dare start yelling "hey wtf too well hidden", because only Artemus is supposed to know about that one, so it has to be veeery secret :cheeky: ;) [/SPOILER]
Ronnie, thanks again for your help, and your compliments. I guess you discovered the fm in a different way than most of the players, as you worked on the books and had an idea about all the mess :cheeky:. Be sure I'll contact you for the 3rd part :thumb:
The formatting things you're talking about seem very odd, as I checked the books several times before releasing as I had to rewrite the pages of the translated version. I'll check this out, hope I didn't forget something...
I'll work on a lootlist when I'll have enough time. And sorry, too lazy for walkthrought :ebil:
And yes, I know about the lockpicks, you already told me that :sly:

I never liked it and don't have it on because of talk of spyware. In any case I don't have trouble wiyh fan missions including briefings as a rule and tried the second part of this mission (somehow downloaded it first)... I think it just brought me back to my main computer screen. So, do I just skip the briefing, should that help? Refresh my memory on how to do this please or offer another hint for help,
Thanks!

:confused: :confused: :confused:
Anyway, if you want you can play the fms without viewing the briefing vids. as long as codecs won't be installed, the vids will crash the game back to desktop.
To avoid that, open folder strings/ and open 'missflag.str' with notepad. At the end,
miss_21:"no_loadout, end" is written. Replace it by
miss_21:"no_briefing, no_loadout, end"So when you'll launch the mission, the game won't read the briefing video first, you'll directly start playing.
Unfortunately, my vids explain the situation of the story... Just read the description in readme file that RonnieAlme generously wrote for me :thumb:

Maybe you could collect all the screenshots of the various forbidden zones and 'him' being blackjacked.
