Nice mission.. was able to find all the loot in the mission. I just hope that missions become much bigger in time. It left me wanting alot more. :)

Ravenus1, it did for me as well, I have been thinking of working out some way for GL to add multiple missions into 1. For example starting with a mini city area (very small no AI and a series of passageways and doors only, no loot) that is a base mission. Then any FM in a series will be able to simply have an updated starting city and the next FM ibt file and a flag file for GL and it would simply install the original misison in the series, then patch it with the next missions ibt. This would mean you could play the first mission and straight onto the second through the mini city.
However this could get deadly complicated and even more confusion than there already is though...but would mean smaller downloads and an ever expanding level (kind of like an episodic game where by you downlaod the next chapter and its added to what you already have).

So I downloaded it again and the zip file still has the T3 executable. If someone tells me exactly which files I can remove, I will repack the archive on my end. But I'd prefer to download a tested archive from someone else, as I can't test it right now.

epithumia, just remove the exe's, it will knock about 2-3 mb off.

t3.exe need for those people who not use GL. cause using without this version of t3.exe there no objectives shows in russian version. It simply unzip mission it's okey.
epithumia I think you can remove t3.exe, cause I believe most of downloaders will be non russian speaking. ;) And I host a version with t3.exe at russian fileserver until AllInOne GL release.

Thing is from what I can tell, T3.exe is more just a launcher for T3MAIN.EXE, T3.EXE does the disc checking and security stuff, where as T3MAIN.EXE does the actuall loading of the FMs. Although T3.EXE may have some language settings in it that are passed to T3MAIN.EXE. Have you tried with just the editor version of T3MAIN.EXE and the shipped version of T3.EXE (its what my setup is currently which works for a UK setup).

I can't answer at now, cause I haven't fresh install of Thief3. May be you right. We have a NoCD (razor911) patch version of t3.exe. Our miltilingual lancher works right with this version.

Ah I think that the T3.exe in the editor is actually a no cd one, although I have not tired it myself.

Help please - I can´t download this FM. Whenever I try it, the download stops after about 25 % percent donloading volume. I never experienced such an error and it seems as if I´m the only one with this problem.
Can anyone help?

I'm not sure if this is mission specific, but I just tried to run this particular mission and recieved a run time error: permisson denied:72. Then, when I tried again I had a "Run-time error '_2147417848(80010108)':
Automation error
The object invoked has disconnected from its clients."
Any suggestions?
