Forgot to mention that I also used the updated file with TDP and no TG patch. Everything worked just fine. :thumb:

Finished v1.2 - also on TDP, with no DDFix or TG patch (all that TG patch does for me is corrupt Thief.exe so that DL can't load T1 FMs & have to re-install TDP & DL).
Result: no problems - crawled straight under the shelf w/o even leaning (after moving the bags), barracks table visible & the 'Yoga guy' was walking around. Many thanx for the fix, Vlad Midnight & Melan.
Very enjoyable little mission - a bit of nostalgia combined with your mastery of the z-axis.

Just beat it on expert (got 930 gold). First fan mission I played since 7-8 years ago. Pretty decent though could use some more play tests. Some methods required to progress lingers on knowing all the little game mechanics/engine limitations., esp walking on the slanted rooftops and difficult jumps from it. Most of the time I felt like I'm on the edge of breaking or doing things the map maker never intended me to do. Had to do tons of quick save and load.
But then again, I beat it without any help or walkthrough so that's a sign of a decent map :D :thumb:

Daveman: it's an honour that mine was the first FM you tried after a long absence. :cool: In my defense,
1) it was a "make a mission during the holidays" kind of exercise, with all it entails;
2) it is often not easy to make a mission that is challenging to the people who know all the tricks, but doable by people who know Thief but aren't totally obsessed with it. :laff:
Thanks for your comments!

oh then that's even more impressive given the short development time constraint. Great job :thumb:

I played this while TTLG was down and I just wanted to say thank you for a lovely little mission! It was SO much fun to explore with things tucked into the most unexpected places. I managed to get all the loot, too! Great fun and a rare treat to play a new T1 FM nowadays. :thumb:

Wow. I am always amazed when people do that. :laff: The first look at the screenshot was particularly surreal.

You didn't put any crates in there, did you? I had to use sand bags for some of the places instead. :cheeky:
The blue roof in the north was the hardest to climb to. ;)

Is there a loot list for this mission? I didn't have too much trouble getting the skull, but I'm still short on the loot requirement.
