  1. Any chance of a clue as to where to find a weapon ( if only to vent my frustration on the guards!)
  2. Ha , beat you , already got mine!Must be me and not my age cos I know you know your way around Thief by the comments made on here while I just muddle along.But I still enjoy it in my own way.I'm more an arrow in the gullet than a stealth man I'm afraid!
  3. Ha thanks , I'll complete it now! As I said , loved it , I'm a bit old to still be playing Thief (75) but still love the game. This , your map , has all the fun I hope for in Thief.As to the rope arrow , I thought I'd cycled through the weapons I had at the beginning , doh , as I say put it down to age! P.s I'm not going mad after all!Restarted the mission from the beginning and toggled through the weapons , no rope arrow.But I'm playing on the lowest level so that must be the reason I guess.Also did find that hidden area early on but didn't look around enough.pps I'd already read it but it hasn't ticked off in the objectives.
  4. In my own simple way ( being a very average Thief player of more than average years ) I really enjoyed this one even though some folk have been a bit picky with their comments. Never did find the rope arrow or diary though ,( probably staring me in the face as usual! ) And I had a little trouble with the steward , had to clout him with my sword ti get him moving. But nine out of ten from me!
  5. Thank you , really enjoyed the mission! My desktop would be described as ancient by most on here I expect , but I never experienced any lag at any point.
  6. Running Tafferpatcher didn't work. And yes , scrolls appear as scrolls without any lettering and books after frobbing as a black page with the yellow arrow curser stuck in the middle. I'll check out the individual folders sometime. But not the most important thing at the moment and I did manage to complete Godbreaker without looking at the written clues.
  7. Thank you will do with Tafferpatcher.I seem to remember a few instances of blank scrolls.Sometimes though s blank page with the yellow arrow cursor I mentioned.Odd.As I said , everything else works very smoothly.
  8. Just a blank black screen with edging from memory with the yellow cursor arrow on it , sometimes music too. No writing is shown for books , scrolls , letters etc , just the above when they are frobbed. Everything else seems to work very well.
  9. Final word ( promise! ) on this mission as I appreciate this forum isn't the place for it , but here goes. Throughout the mission I was unable to read any readables , i.e scrolls , books , etc.Anybody else come across this?
  10. Nearly finished but for a poor Thief like me I find the loot levels a tad high.Even on normal I need to find 3500 and after climbing all over the place have 2800! Never got to the sewers , maybe there's some down there if they are reachable.Or maybe I'm missing a big hoard.I think I've covered everywhere else .It's been fun though.
  11. Wow , now playing mission 4 , the City seems to go on and on.What an area to explore.
  12. Hi everyone. Thank you all for your kind help. Super mission(s).
  13. Thanks for the tip gnartsch! I'd forgotten you could do that with the old Thief. It really is well done , I've found a lot of the key to the mission spots , it's just I'm not that observant these days and miss things!And crawling around those caves was driving me potty. I've always known , even from the beginning of my playing Thief, that the street / castle type stealing missions were the ones I liked best.Each to their own I guess.
  14. Shelved this one at least for the present as I've come up against a brick wall with finding some ancient lantern thingy which I think is behind a safe I can't open.Also finding my way around the caves are driving me crazy ,always did prefer the castle Thief settings. Agree it's well made but enough is enough of those pesky caves!
  15. Biker , after your comment I was determined to get this one up and running. I found a great site Seleck.net that walked me through and introduced me to the T2 tool. You are right , it is a great FM.
  16. I should have said the old computer is on Windows 10 and I used xp compatibility mode.Haven't a clue why it wont play.Guess I would just need the original game plus the fix thingy as I did with Gold and Skacky's mission which was great btw. Loath to risk another crash too.
  17. Biker , I was truly really looking forward to it! But just wouldn't play.Don't ask me what happened but it really knackered the computer and I had to reload a lot of stuff. Loaded Metal Age/appled patch etc and zilch. As I say , doing it with Gold worked an absolute dream.Oh well.
  18. Godbreaker and Darkwalls consigned to the bin , wouldn't play after applying all fixes and in addition crashed my ancient desktoo computer, grrrrr.Never again! Thief Gold and the fixed worked fine though
  19. Thank you yet again Melan! Regarding the other place I found I'll have to have a search around to try to get in there too.
  20. Don't know whether it's relevant to finding the necklace but Can some kind person give me a hint. thanks!
  21. Reading through this thread in a last desperate attempt to find hints to finish the mission I see I've been to said key point (can't seem to do spoilers on this tablet) where , according to Melan 'the fun begins ',and didn't find anything there so must look again.
  22. Easier to set up than I thought it would be in the end thanks to TXfix. Never did find Beric's necklace , spent all my time falling off walls!I always liked the good old rope arrow but in more moderation.In the end I was craving for a good old door lock to pick! .
