Many thanks for this new mission, it looks and plays fantastic. My only gripe is
that the music totally kills the atmosphere (my taste), there is any way to revert to original thief music or all i can do is turn the volume down?go into the zip file and replace
the music files with either a silent file or your own
music :angel:

What secondary characters say in foreign languages has no relevance or whatsoever for the story-line, it's just to make you feel abroad.
This was my guess, and honestly it's a great idea! It does make me feel like I am in a different City.
The one thing I do suggest is making the music track quieter, it's not that it's "wrong" for your mission, it's just that it's so much louder than the ambience and other game noises and so it really stifles them.
I'm able to quet them down myself as I have a sound program to do it, but you might consider a lower volume version for the folks here asking :)

For anyone who doesn't know how to work with audio, or if Cardia you want to put these in another version:

This link has somewhat quieter music tracks.
They go in FMpath\The_Bracelet_of_Melody\snd\Garrett
You will have to overwrite.

A lovely mission, enjoyed it very much. Music really was the only thing I disliked. Where are the pictures you used for the characters from? Did you take them yourself or are they a reference to something I'm not familiar with?

Thank you for the mission, Cardia!
An amazing work that you have accomplished. The atmosphere is spot on. At first it was annoying a bit that the townsfolk were having their conversations in french, but I guessed: 'Hey we are in France, so why shouldn't they' :) . The huge size and lare scale verticality of the mission is the best thing in it. There are so many hidden nooks and crannies to discover that it blows your mind. I only managed to find 10 of the 12 beer bottles, but this only means I have to come back sometime to replay again this awesome mission. Loot goal is not difficult to achieve even on Expert, you just have to look around. The diary of the ASMR masseur was really cool, had some laughs :D .
All in all, excelent work!

Hi Szabikka, thank you so much for your positive and kind feedback, just to be clear this mission takes place on a imaginary Belgian city, in some regions of Belgium people talk Dutch and in others French.
Fortuni will release soon a highly detailed walktrough of this mission indicating all possible places , loot, bottles to be found in this mission.

Some gentle criticisms:
At ground level there are a tonne of areas that look like shadows in which I am not hidden, and a some areas that look well lit where I am in partial or complete shadow.
need to get that relationship ironed out well because knowing what is safe and not safe is important for navigation, and I have no equipment at start.

By normal thief standards I really ought to be hidden in a shadow this dark.Additionally, all the doors at the inn look the same and only one is interactable. I walked in and out a few times not knowing where to look, should probably make the important door a little different or give a more direct clue
such as the room number to avoid missing the important place.
The issue with uninteractable doors is sort of spread throughout the mission, it's not super obvious which are usable and which are not because they are all custom.
If they were uninteractable stock doors I'd look for a handle, but since they are almost entirely custom it's much harder to discern.

Finished with all beers, but only 20639 loot.
Fantastic architecture as usual with Cardia's missions, really makes you want to look around and explore, not just rush through it.
Where was the Mona Lisa that Marbrien mentioned? Only one I found was outside the Art Gallery and not frobbable.
And I never found a way to get into\onto the square building outside the church with the guard on the balcony.

There is a large open space around a canal where a mirrored inscription can be read on a stone plaque. Far up here lives a woman who has been contacted by a ghost in her mirror. There's also a cafe down there. On one of the sides of the entrance with the stone plaque there is a window that can be opened and entered. Inside, there are various paintings, and
one of them should be the Mona Lisa, if my memory serves me well. If not... blame it on the beer!:cheeky:

Neither did I. I do not think you can get in there.
