What is the status of your TDS setups or rather the order of the things you installed?
I installed the FM in the GL and not part
Then I downloaded FMSel, I created a folder to put the FM, the FM I loaded the folder you just created and started by FMSel but does not work because you start getting the original game.

When I start the mission, i always get to the training mission of the original game. Tried it both with garret loader and the FMSel mission loader...any idea or did i miss something?

I tried both the original version and the compressed version by snoble with GarrettLoader. Both work fine.
Did you guys make a mistake when UNZIPPING & REZIPPING the mission for GL ?
Please check if the folder structure is correct.
When you open the ZIP you must see two folders called CONTENT and System plus a couple of files.
If you see something else (like a folder 'TDS_On_the_Trail_of_a_Fence') then that is the problem.
@Beleg. You say that GL is not aware of the latest tweaks and fixes?
Maybe the statement should be that SneakyUpgrade needs to be installed??
At any rate: after doing so, GL does not have any problem either.
Runs perfect. Most of my testing was actually using GL.
AFAIK, FMSel does not have any stocks in that discussion.
I did not even bother extracting the DLLRebuildIBT.dll from snobels version.

You only need the DLL file when extracting the compressed (216MB) version of the FM which doesn't even have a mirror yet AFAIK. By "GL not aware of lates updates" I mean that there could be issues with the altered paths and registry stuff that SneakUpgrade introduces (or at least introduced at some point, I got confused somewhere in between during the many versions). For completeness sake, the way FMSel handles the missions is far superior to GL which leaves you with a messed-up game directory in case it crashes at some point. From Xiaopang's ModernLoader on all FM loaders left the original directory unaffected.

Have you tried ModernLoader it works very well with TDS. I can't remember where the link is but it should be in one of the FM stickies.

Beleg Cúthalion: This was an amazing mission I could not believe the size of it!!:eek:
Had one problem though I explored the cathedral before I should have and cut the rope to the wrecking ball I revisited the cathedral and the objective did check off.
Thanks for this gem!!

Hm...normally nothing should happen if you did this before. After all this is only one way to solve the problem. Sometimes it is solved without doing anything, maybe this is what happened to you?

Just some completionists questions after winning this mighty cool FM:
1) how can I get on the balcony in the second map on which there is a healing potion on a table (the balcony is near a window where you can climb up by pipe)?
2) how can I get on top of the ruins near the police station where you can hear and see a blue light source? Climbing only works right under the ceiling but you can not mantle up...
3) in the books-folder of the zip-file there is one note which talks about a rocking horse statue - is that an easter egg or where did you hide this note? Also maybe this is connected to the Cheshire Cat voice file which I never encountered in the FM
Thanks for hints regarding these topics :)

Anyone is able to help here? Thanks :sweat:

Sorry, I was busy during the weekend. But I'm surprised people play so thoroughly. :D
1: There is a 1st floor "shortcut" to Baron Malus Street which can be found in the trapezoid-shaped courtyard with the neo-classical columns, right behind the strangely-parked carriage. A fearsome woman patrols on this 1st floor and when you get to the opposite window, don't jump down but towards the opposite trim. Follow it towards the balcony, avoid obstacles by jumping around them (you know, you can move Garrett during a jump) and make your way to the balcony.
2: There should be some ladder-like climbable ruins but even if they don't help (or I took them out again because of that), mantling should work at some point. I've already started preparing a spoiler-intense video for all the tricky sections, but I don't know if I'll be able to get it out fast.
3: This indeed an easter egg for a very special person and hardly anyone else would understand the reference. If said person agrees, maybe I'll post an instruction. But you found most of it anyway already.
