Nice to see again you people like it! :) I've been playing videogames occasionally since pong and pacman and it was interesting to design a level. Basically I think that Thief in it's stealthy gameplay is a kind of an advanced pacman-clone. :p

the menu music is just too darn loud. Loved the music to read by, though. Terrific and clever work, this mission. Thanks so much for your efforts.

A cool moment (for me anyway): [SPOILER]I was up on the beam in the upstairs hallway, the hall that leads to the door to go across the back of the church. I'd alerted the guards somehow (hah!) and the sitting dude just wouldn't sit back down. Now I know that for next time, when I try to ghost. So, when I climbed down and tried to sneak past him his commotion alerted a slew of the downstairs guards, who came up. I scurried back up to the beam. Everyone was congregated around the doorway, so I said what the hey and fired the gas arrow and took out 6 guys at once. Very handy.[/SPOILER]

There were many cool sneaky parts that weren't insanely impossible like some people put in their levels. Just the right amount of frustration before I learned the magic path. This FM is very polished. Thanks again.

Well, the basic gameplay is the same as in pacman: get all the loot, avoid ghosts or guards or whatever and use powerups or weapons to your advantage in a kind of a maze.

I tried to make the level realistic, so there are no texture-only doors or windows and you can go almost anywhere. And the guards are also quite alerted. [SPOILER]If they get too alerted, you can lure them out, go in another way and lock the doors. [/SPOILER]

If I make another version with bug fixes, maybe I'll put the music volume down a bit.

Thanks for comments again. :)

Thanks again, ffox... with those two suggestions, I now have only 150 to go.

Has anybody figured out how to open that locked panel at the other end of the telescope corridor/room? None of my keys work, and I don't seem to be able to pick it... though it's hard to tell, as sound isn't propagating right with the lockpicks there (I can't hear anything, and there is no visible handle that moves).

Any other secret caches?

You can always go delete the \snd\sfx\metalp1.wav file*. Thief just plays the default corresponding \res\snd.cfg file when the FM doesn't provide one.

*or edit the volume down on that particular file with something like Cooledit or Audacity.
