The Rebellion of the Builder 2: Mission 1 "The Sands of Fire and Ice"

How do you get into the second temple? According to the walkthrough there should be fire and water symbols of some kind somewhere either side of the door, but the walls on either side of what I am assuming is the entrance look plain to me. Well it clanks when you hit it with the sword, so I am pretty sure I am at the entrance :)

Have also tried shooting the door itself in random places but to no avail. Can anyone help.

The symbols at the side of the doors are what you need to shoot at.
The clues are the rooms that have the empty crystals.
Just remember to hit the Ra symbol first after clearing out the nearby enemies in order to not cause too much attention to yourself.

I knew I had to hit some symbols with the right arrows, but was locating the actual symbols that was the problem. Sorry if I wasn't clear!

But thankfully I have found them now. On the walls either side of the opening that leads to the inner room with the stone door. Quite easy to miss as they are small and blend in with the wall. I probably need a higher contrast monitor or something :)

Just started the campaign and have a strange bug.

It doesn't show me any objetives. I can only see the squares indicating that there are objectives but no text. Also I suppose the man I went to is supposed to talk to me(gestures) but there was no audio but after some time where I just stand there he went into the tent a new objective seems to appear(again with no text)
Can someone help?

Using 1.25(installed with TafferPatcher_TMA_218_beta) with New Dark Loader. Already reinstalled everything. Also I play with the original german version of Thief 2 but that was no problem in any other english fan missions.

It still looks like some problem related to language configuration. However, I cannot replicate it with my german T2 version brought to NewDark v1.25.

What FM loader are you using? What language is specified in the DARKINST.CFG file in your Thief 2 folder?

Thanks for your time.

Version 1.5.5. Downloaded the loader from here (http://www.ttlg.com/forums/showthread.php?t=146917) http://www.ttlg.com/forums/showthread.php?t=146917

and followed these instructions in the readme

Quote:

- Extract NewDarkLoader.dll, SevenZipSharp.dll and NAudio.dll to your Thief2 folder (or Thief, or Shock2, or Thief3\System). English.ini is optional - see the end of section 2 for details.
The file 7z.dll should already be in the destination folder, but is included just in case you don't already have it
- Open up cam_mod.ini with any text editor.
(For Thief 3, it's SneakyOptions.ini)
Remove the ; from the line that reads ;fm
If you have already been using FMSel, this will not be necessary
- On any other line, type in this, or copy and paste from here:
fm_selector NewDarkLoader.dll
(For Thief 3, change ExternalSelector=... from FMSel.dll to NewDarkLoader.dll)

Then I started it with the original Thief 2 exe and there I installed the fan mission and also started it.

That should all have worked. I still cannot replicate the problem with several versions (1.00, 1.01, 1.20, 1.22) of TRotB2 and NewDarkloader v1.5.5. Something weird is going on.

Let's try something easy first. Open DARKINST.CFG with a text editor and change the line "language german" to "language german+english". That should tell NewDark to first look for language-specific content in German, and if that is not available, try English instead. NewDark usually does this on its own, but maybe it needs a kick in the butt this time.:ebil:

If that does not correct the problem, we might have to dig a bit deeper.

OK Replaying, but what should I use on the plates to get into the second temple. I forgot and can´t find it here.

Dear Gloria, you need to find stones of Ra and Nut. They are scattered over the map, depending on which difficulty you play. Then you should obtain water and fire arrows and use them on the symbols before the second temple. Let me know if you need more tips. :angel:

Finished in 50 minutes game time(a couple hours real time), didn't notice the simple cryptogram posted so here it is
"within this desert, it's been said that the crystal of ra can be found near a heated area. also, the crystal of nut can be found near a cool wet area." heated area= torch, cool wet= in water

"use hourglass here" for the other one
I liked that I didn't have to kill any creatures or jump through hoops to avoid it and I helped out the pagan too:)
