Thank you for sharing this very big mission. I enjoyed it, it felt more like a Thief Gold mission than a Thief 2 mission. Even with the amount of guards reduced, it still felt like Lady Milhorn hired a full private army. Lurking around the basement and inside the house was an amazing task, searching for required items took me some time to wander around plus the somehow mazey architecture. Luckily there was a map and it helped me a lot to navigate through the cellar rooms.
A classic Thief experience (but sometimes ridiculously hard - that one spider infested street right next to the starting section.
Loot was cleverly hidden, but for hidden switches there was no "blind frob" required.
Lovely city part in the beginning.
Overall, thanks for remastering this masterpiece. :D

Just tried the new hotfix and it seems to crash after you select the mission difficulty, you can see some of the shop menu open up and then it's straight back to Desktop. Maybe it's just me...
I'm using Angelloader BTY.
I've had this problem before, seems to be EP + Angeloader. Disabling mods until you get past the store screen and start the mission seems to do it for me.
Thanks for this mission overhaul jackinthebox, I had a lot of fun replaying this, and the automap helps a lot!

Assuming you haven't touched the "disabled mods" section (or Mods tab in the latest versions) for the FM in question, then AngelLoader is doing nothing whatsoever as regards mods. It's just calling the game and the game does whatever it does, same as any other loader. It's only if you tell it to disable certain mods that it goes and tells the game "hey, don't load these mods please". Also using the standard NewDark API method. Shrug.

Thanks for the reboot. I don't think I played the original version. I liked this version though. As with some other players, I started out fighting the alley spiders, but then found an alternate and easier path. I restarted the game and went the easier way. Some cool alternate paths are throughout the FM. I took the time to look them over. It's an FM I would recommend. Not crazy challenging, but just enough toughness to make it interesting. I played on expert and was about 900 or so short on loot. I didn't bother to jump to get that diamond near the end in the lava pit area. I did have to put on the glasses because my system slowed down a lot. Thanks for including that option.

I just played the upgraded version and gotta say I really love the improvements! :) I also found the 3 special loot items, but still missed out hell of a lot of loot.
Just a bit sad that there are only hints to the actual story, nothing was revealed as the bonus objective confirms. I assume the lady had an affair with some other guy and her daugther is not even his.
Btw who did the german translation for this one? There are some problems with the readings, particularly in the ladys room. Instead of the letters "ä", "ö" and "ü" and probably "ẞ" some weird signs like ? / & appear. Also the second page of the paper in the trash bin is missing.
Other than that awesome mission :thumb:

I enjoyed this mission very much.
It's quite large, and I had to refer to the maps constantly, but it was also very rewarding.
I thought I was extremely thorough in exploring, but I still missed 900 or so in loot, even with the secret found (and some others that might have been secrets but weren't designated as such).
Lots of fun.:D

There is no translation, I guess - the author speaks German. Search for "Milhorn" on TTLG.DE to confirm, or check the names of the files containing the readables' texts. The problem with some of the texts in the overhauled version is the character encoding. After I saved the texts with correct encoding, the german "umlauts" were displayed correctly. The paper in the trash bin also was just mutilated by a slight error of some kind. I think there are no important details on that second page.

this was a delight!
I somehow missed the original version when it came out, I'm glad this got an Overhaul Edition so more people could see the ideal rendering of the idea!
After about two hours I gathered one secret, two special items, a completed bonus objective, a child's toy, and all but ~1050g of loot on Hard. I thought I had searched better!

Oh, maybe if you send me these updated text files via PM, I can put them into the game folder and update the mission zip file. Thank you so much :)
And happy that most of you enjoy the mission!
I am not sure how to adress the angelloader problem, is it the most common FM-Tool nowadays?

Finally found it, bit of a round around for that lab.
