New Tafferpatcher should be released? Two things I found. First is that in Life of the Party (without key) in Castle Carlysle Armory is possible to keyhole through doors and grab one fire arrow, second is that in Eavesdropping after conversation is impossible to grab safety deposit box key from catacombs - nothing to change or delete key from dead mechanist or add new key location would be the best?

I (
http://www.ttlg.com/forums/showthread.php?t=147734&page=8) posted in the Breathing Corpses topic about how the widescreen movie(s) at the beginning of this FM are elongated with an incorrect aspect ratio because there's something funky going on with my cam_ext.cfg settings. Is there a setting or settings to get proper aspect ratio in widescreen movies displayed on my 1920X1080 monitor with Thief FMs that won't also throw the 4:3 movies (which display normally) out of whack? So much fine work seemed to go into that Breathing Corpses intro with the artwork and the decent VA narration that it seems almost a shame to not watch it as the author intended. Thanks.

One thing you could do: open up cam_ext.cfg, search for "crop_movies", and remove the semicolon in front. Then, look a few lines down for "movie_crop_exclude". There are two, one for Thief and one for System Shock; remove the semicolon from the first one. Next, write a list of the Thief 2 movies to exclude, which would look something like...
movie_crop_exclude credits.avi+success.avi+death.avi+intro.avi
Of course, once you're done with Breathing Corpses, you'll have to replace the semicolon in front of "crop_movies", unless you want to add every other Thief 2 movie to the list.

Yes, this fix worked. The intro is widescreen but not exactly 16:9 so I still get the letterboxing, but at least it's looking as intended. Thanks.

So I installed the latest Tafferpatcher and it works like a charm. However, everytime I reach Angelwatch in "Life of the Party", the NPCs (including the Bots) get stuck forever in the stairway, making it 100% impossible to use this route without being detected.

I tried restarting the mission, I tried reinstalling Tafferpatcher and even reinstalled the game several times with no success.
I'm almost 99% sure this glitch is caused by the Complete Resource Fix Pack, since when I don't install it, this glitch does not happen at all.
Does anyone here know how to fix this?
Thanks in advance! :)

You can't fix this.
I compared the pathfinding lines (AI path links) in miss11/resource patch to the original mis11 on the stairs.
It's looks very different. There are some 'bottlenecks' on the stairs now.

This bug is so annoying. It also sometimes happens in other places and even FMs.
You can only combat it by playing through Angelwatch as quickly as you can so that AIs don't have time to reach staircases. You can also and use vents or the elevator instead.

No, this should not be changed. The catacombs key is unique while every other key has duplicates. It is not meant to be chosen as a safety deposit box key and should be left as is.

But when I use version 1.0e of the mission fix pack available in T2Tool, this glitch does not occur...

What is T2Tool?
