Just finished . Thank you Sotha and Fidcal for a wonderfully absorbing mission . And thank you Fidcal again for your special help with the patch which got the mission working properly for me. Definitely one of my favourite missions !

Thank you !

I'd appreciate a clear clue on how to get Thanks for your help folks !

Fidcal, the patch works like a dream. Thank you.

Thank you very much Fidcal , will let you know how I get on in due course. Thanks once again for all your good work.

Well , at least this mission gives new meaning to the word ghosting. With the AI sensitivity plus the saving problems you really have to ghost to win ! I can only play in half hour sessions so don't think I will be able to finish it unless it's ever revamped. Great mission on the face of it though and it's improved my ghosting at the very least . I'd just love to be able to explore all the map further.

Thank you Fidcal for your ( as usual ) kind and prompt reply. Is there somewhere in the mission where saves have been found from experience to work ? I only ask because , because of time constraints it's difficult for me to play long sessions hence I like to make saves rather than try to finish a mission in one go! I know some folk on here have had to complete The Alchemist in one go because of the save problem. I had a feeling the archer was where you said but haven't been able to hang around that spot long enough to find out !

Great mission , what a shame about the savegame crashes! Will there be an update to correct these?. I say maybe because a guard noticed me then , I couldn't use the save , and I haven't had the chance yet to play my way back there and explore further. What a pity you can't save early on in view of the sensitivity of the AI. It has given me the chance though to At least it stretches the playability of the mission out ! Thanks again anyway to the two authors for all the work put in.

Thank you both for your advice . It's reassuring to know that I can make an independant copy and I will go ahead and do it .

Forgive me if this has been covered elsewhere on the forum. I've just downloaded the latest update using the updater and my darkmod folder in Doom now contains about two GB of data which took a lot of downloading . Given that I've already had one crash and had to download it all over and have limited monthly downloads anyway with my current ISP , is there a proper way of saving all this precious data? I have an external hard disc. Will it be sufficient just to save the folder to it in its entirety and would the data inside it then work if I had to reload Doom etc thus avoiding another lengthy download session? Thanks for any guidance on this.

Thanks for that , must have missed it in my search !

Can't find the in mission 3 .Would some kind person give me a hint? Thanks.

Thanks Fidcal . Found it , think a builder chased me around that point which is why I missed it. Finished the mission now , never did solve the open window/ crying baby bit if indeed there was a way up there. Nice mission , didn't enjoy it quite as much as the first one because of the crashes I was getting but my thanks to both the makers, it was still a lot of fun in spite of that. Really loved the town and the pub , a lot of originality . really looking forward to the final part now.

Help on this one please anyone ?

Nearly finished part 2, but daft question , can someone point me to the sewer entrance , Also , at the end of the street near where the builders patrol there is Had some fun finding the blacksmith , for some reason he chose to do a walkabout along the Point road and I found him gazing wistfully out at the large ship on the jetty along the river's edge ! And there was I looking all around the town for him !

Thanks for your comments , perhaps I'll just fiddle around with a few settings .

I think six. ( 4 blackjacked , 2 arrows ) .I always use that style of playing rather than stealth.

As well as experiencing the Doom crashes mentioned previous posts , in ANOTT I'm getting something I didn't in the first part Politics. That is a gradual slowing down of movement the longer I play until it all gets very sluggish and almost impossible to move around. Is there any way around this apart from playing in short sessions ?

Which is why I prefer an arrow to the throat from the shadows !

First of all , I'd like to thank the authors for the great three part mission , very enjoyable. I've finished 'Politics' in about an hour and a half. I particularly liked the prison with haunts , reminded me a bit of the first Thief , a mission called Cragscleft or something? Also , that long climb up the liftshaft. And . I'm partway through ANOTT and like bad ass marine above I'm getting the savegame crashes so have to keep reloading. Good stuff though , loved the touch of the town clock playing 'Jerusalem' !

Have the same problem , will have to wait until it's sorted out.

Hey , Thank you for this , might give it a whirl sometime to see whether it does the trick as I've still got the downloaded files even though I've ditched the programs themselves.

Fidcal , Interesting observations . Unfortunately , as I mentioned in my p.s in my earlier post I got so frustrated with freeze ups that I erased it and Darkloader too. Perhaps revisiting Thief 2 was a bridge too far. And I haven't got time to look for tips on avoiding the freezes. I vaguely remember having to do it when I used to play Thief 2 FMs on another computer in the distant past. Anyway , I'm loving Dark Mod and its missions so much they're enough for me , my interest was just sparked by your first post. And , Dark Mod missions run so well on my present computer with no problems whatsoever !

I've made a few tweeks to settings , turning a few things off ( weather , fogging ) and this seems to help but that may be more luck than judgement. The mountain path bit is doing my head in though , so drab. I think Thief 2 is starting to look old to me ! On a mission note the path bit is frustrating , I 've come to a V shaped cleft which you obviously can't get down without falling to your death. Only way seems up a large rock near a tree but can't seem to mantle up it. Forgot about that particular frustration in Thief 2. But heigh ho , this isn't the Thief 2 FM hint site ! After making the trip backwards to play the mission I do definitely think I prefer Dark Mod now. p.s That's it. Tried to mantle up the rock and it froze again. Going to erase the mission before it drives me mad.Probably something to do with dual processor or something like it , can't be bothered to research it now after all that time away.

Was intrigued after reading the opening post and fired up Thief 2 and Darkloader again after a long period of not playing Thief 2 FMs. My computer easily meets the specs shown , but I was disappointed that the mission froze several times for no apparent reason. I then had to turn off the computer to get out. Although the mission looks very interesting , this has spoilt it for me , guess I should stick to Dark Mod !
