I zipped it with whatever program Windows 10 uses. I didn't open any other software to zip it. I just right-clicked > Send to > Zipped folder.

As I understand it, a Zipped folder is not a zip file. It is a Windows Explorer view of a hidden zip file. I had to go to registry hacks to eliminate zipped folders in Windows 7 so I could access the Zip files.
I had no trouble opening this mission using FMSel. I have a Thief Gold installation based on TFix 1.26a. If you use TFix, I know that the "a" update is necessary to get at least one mission, Haplo's mission, to load scripts properly. I don't know about this mission, because I already had TFix 1.26a installed. If you have only TFix 1.26 (no "a"), it may help to try the upgrade.

I have no idea if that will solve this problem.

Mat99 - you are the Greatest !!!!
Thank you so so much. I've downloaded the 7zip from your source, and now the fm starts properly. What a happy evening this is now.
So there was only a conflict with my machine and the way the file was initially zipped ? Sorry, I don't understand much of these technical things. Anyway, now it works and I sincere thank you for the help you gave me.
Hearty greetings from Switzerland,
Urumo

Aha! Remember the zip issue in beta? The way I fixed it was by re-zipping it through 7z, after repeatedly trying to do it through Windows without success. The zipping might be the root of the problem.

Mission finished in 35 minutes playing on "normal". Overall its a high quality mission, nice dark atmospheres, i like the new ai creatures customization its very original,the gameplay is fun, the multiple ways makes the game more fun, the edited wind chims(Bells1_slow/Bells2_slow) music is really well done i like this new version you did here.
Thank you for this fun experience. My score is 8 out 10

Oh man, this one is great! Played it hard and grabbed
3124/3451. An amazing labyrinth with many sinister surprises. :thumb:
As always I tried to
attract the guards into the ghost/zombie area or vice versa, that was much fun. Had a room with 7(!) dead guards without having sullied my hands, thanks to the mage ghosts turning in a fire shadow hehe!

I had so much fun with this one! And since there is still a whopping 1040 loot I didn't find, I'll be sure to replay it.
I think I was clever before I entered the passage (one with several undead) from the mage's lab. I opened the crayman cage without alerting it. Later, when a Haunt surprised me, I ran back through the lab, hoping the crayman would step in and fight the Haunt. It worked - and Mr. Crayman won!
(I later found it dead, on the bottom floor where a Haunt and an Apparition patrols)
Questions:
What do those frobbable rings on golden doors do? Well, one of the three I've found is a deadly trap, but what about the two that do nothing that's immediately obvious?
What does the frobbable 'narrow gargoyle thingy' do? (The one that's placed alongside three others on a pedestal supporting a Cthulhu statue)

The rings and the gargoyle head all open up secret doors, but if the secret doors are already open, then they don't do anything.

How to go up the ice ramp without a speed potion?
