T1 Fan Mission: Between These Dark Walls - by Skacky

[grayman]

If you own Thief Gold (TG), you just need to install TFix.

 

That's all I needed to do.

[skacky]

Skacky, are you saying your mission dosent work with Newdark..? as I Never noticed any problems with beta testing..

 

Heh? No, I said the contrary actually.

If you don't have New Dark, the FM just won't launch.

Thanks everyone, I'm glad you enjoyed it! I can't wait to see your rooftop mission, grayman.

I'd gladly join the Darkradiant ranks, alas I think I have a severe case of dromeditis for the moment. But who knows, someday I might return.

 

I've been feeling nostalgic and hunting for TG FMs that I missed for one reason or another and stumbled on this one. Absolutely fantastic fan mission, thank you very much.

Sounds like fun! Is there AI-to-AI fighting in this mission? Any time you get Hammerites and thugs together, a good old fashion brawl usually breaks out. That was one of my favorite things to do in the original missions; try to start fights between the factions.

I'm glad this thread has surfaced again.I'm interested in playing it as I really enjoyed the old Gold missions.

I've installed Thief Gold then applied the TX fix.

Do I also need to install Thief 2?And where does the fan mission then show up i.e do I need yet another program to run it in?Thanks!

raymeld: You will not need Thief 2. You will need to run fmselect.bat (or thief.exe -fm), and I think set up a few folders where the FM selector will store the missions.

[raymeld]

Thank you Melan.

[raymeld]

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!

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.

Don't know whether it's relevant to finding the necklace but

I've found a cell with a hammer guarding it with skulls on a shelf. But no key and lock picks don't help.

Can some kind person give me a hint. thanks!

[Melan]

raymeld: Definitely not.

 

You have to be searching in Messer Beric's mansion. One of the upstairs rooms - of his wife, I think - has a key to his ground floor study, and in the study, you get a key to the wine cellar. The secret switch is in that room under a shelf of bottles.

 

[raymeld]

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.

[Melan]

You can get in there too, but you have to go around and approach from another direction.

[raymeld]

Finished it , good fun.Thank you Skacky.
