Glad you seem to like it I wouldn't consider Thief to be the easiest though. As assassin and saboteur you'll be able to move among the guests without problems, as long as you don't do anything illegal. But the thief is always considered hostile to everyone.

Glad you like it. Haha, yes a lot of players seem to like the ability to lock in people Hopefully you won't need to KO too many people when playing as assassin/saboteur as you may walk among people as an infiltrator.

Regarding the alarm But I see now that Knüppelmann referred to the general alertedness of the guards after seeing that something's been stolen.

I may perhaps fix in a future patch that not all guards fetch lanterns. It has come to my attention that many players found it too challenging with all 5 roaming about with lanterns which I respect.

The lantern carrying guards should be the same for all difficulties/contracts but the path changing system is a bit wonky so sometimes they don't fetch lanterns.

Thank you so much for the kind words. It's funny that you are among the first to mention the music/ambience. Yes, in hindsight maybe I should have reduced the amount of AI on this ship. But to be totally honest, the mission got scewed in the favour of the infiltrator difficulties and the thief got the short end of the stick. Most time was spent on the poisoning mechanic and different paths. The lantern guards may have been involved in a bit of unkilled darlings (because of the amount of time I spent on their individual path nodes and overall patrol adjustments). If the mission gets an update I may very well remove the lantern behaviour on 2-3 guards, when playing as thief. The lantern fetching only happens after the lights have been killed (there are no fuses for the third floor btw).

Haha. Yes, I'm the old Fieldmedic with only strange missions where I try to push the boundaries beyond playability... Glad you liked it! Yes, the painting will be missed and therefore trigger the guards to start searching for a thief. I thought about making more loot noticeable but as you experienced, there is a lot of ruckus. It wasn't what I wanted but I thought it would be strange/silly if nobody had realised that the painting was missing... Yes, I went for replayability so the story may be a bit lacking. I hope at least there are some fun and quirky things to find in the readables. /Mr Moose

Reinstalled and now it seems to work. I hope it'll stay that way. Thanks for the help anywy

There in fact is a "prybar'ish" tool nearby.

Thanks for also looking into it, @stgatilov I haven't had time to reinstall yet.

I will interpret this critique on the ship on a more fluffy level, more than actual critisism on the level design, am I right? Yes, when you get the layout strait, it's not that hard to navigate the mission. The AI in TDM is quite advanced but it is difficult (if even impossible) to steer the AI anyway you want via scripts etc. I'm aware that the player magically get a bow if picking up arrows. Therefore I added a bow at the place where you obtain the arrows.

I'm thinking about moving all fms/custom folders and delete the whole game and reinstall...

This is definitely a fine map, epsecially for a/pair of begginner(s)! One should not compare with one's own work, but if I should compare this to my first mission in TDM, wow, this little mission is really good! Game play 3 I know the station was shut down, but there should at least be one or two AI present, for gameplay reasons. There is a new layer of work with adding AI (monster clipping for one) so I guess their abscence was because of time restraints. Other than that, there was not much to critizise. I loved the sneaking up on the ropes and good use of verticality. Story 3 Nothing special. The clues made sense. Short, descriptive briefing. Visual 4 Apart from some misaligned textures I found nothing distracting. I did find the areas after the pipecrawling a bit strange. It felt like outside, but there was some kind of roof? Was that whole area meant to be the interior of the station?
