Yep, it has to do with the roman numbers in the book

Ok thank you. Really enjoying this fm. I hope you continue to make them.

This was one of the first missions I played for TDM, and if there's one thing I can say it's that as much as I didn't like having my weapons stripped from me. I was forced to rely on stealth and it made the game play style exciting because I had to learn to approach the challenges in different ways. If I remember correctly, trying to figure out the code for the lock was the reason I signed up for the forums, to ask for help!

 

Thanks Obs!

 

I'm going to be giving your revamped version of Old Habits a spin. From what I've read, it seems like it's been vastly overhauled.

Great mission that still mostly works on 2.06. It indeed is the exception to the no-forced-ghosting rule. Got a stealth score of 3 on hardest.

 

Had to noclip into the treasury because the slot machine did not react correctly to 0651.

I liked the guard with the torch and how there are conveniently placed beams on the ceiling above the staircase leading to the priest's room. The beams made aiming with the water arrow much easier. Dousing his torch without alerting him worked on first try and it really felt good.

This time i did not block the doorways with double crates. But it is nice that there are enough of them so i could if i wanted to.

What a cool little mission! I had a blast trying to figure out how best to

get the second treasury key off the guard with the torch.

Not a trivial task at all. I picked a few promising places to acquire it, but it seemed other guards kept wandering by right at the wrong moment. In the end I had to

go up the ladder to the storage room with two arrow chests in it, fire a moss arrow at the floor beneath, drop down just as he was walking to the door, and then quickly back up the ladder! Didn't even need to douse his torch.

Finished with a stealth score of 2 and only missing about 50 loot.

[Obsttorte]

Now that is ninja style

 

Glad you liked it.

So, where are you hiding, taffer?

Nice mission, although I think it needs some fixing here and there..

I just had following case:

Spoiler

When it comes to entering the code: If you tick the number buttons too fast they get stuck at half positions, neither 5 or 6. When that happens you'll have to keep on pressing them too fast until they line up again. Else the code does not work.

Well, now the only thing left is loot

Thanks, that was a fine mission (played on Thief). 10 years old and holding up well.
