Fan Mission: In the Black

So...good mission overall, but I've searched as many places as I can and now I'm left with the dreaded key search, which for me is like the big Monty Python Boot squelching down on the mission. I hate key searches.  I have opened every door I can.  What's left is unpickable.  Tiring of going in circles, I have three places where a key is needed:

 

Armory

Locked cupboard

Blue door.

 

And sorry for the lack of spoiler tags, but I can't seem to locate the appropriate icon.

This is my first mission I liked so much that I tried to get all out of it - all loot, all possibilities.

Two questions for missing options:

1) Missing water arrow: Where do I get a water arrow for "healing" well ?

  - I can buy it at mission start, but I want to get it out of the game.

2) Possibilities with doll: I have the doll from the upper woman bedroom and

the reading of Nathan. What can I do with the doll and this reading ?

I loved this one, a must play for everyone who likes exploration and free-play as opposed to being tightly guided by objectives. Worth playing just to see the architecture and design ideas, which are stunning in most places. Played this more like an assassin, having epic sword fights with the guards in those amazing looking places.

Things I would never have found on my own:

Spoiler

Blue key

Safe key (even with instructions I had some trouble)

Nathan´s key (just a tad too far in the fire place imo)

Some questions that stayed open:

Spoiler

Is the "D" from the sinister note in N.s closet the same guy who is in the Red Room? Also, what is going on in the Red Room?

What´s up with the doll on the bed in the servant room? Same doll that is talked about in the sinister note?

Some screens I took:

Could have taken 50 more, the mansion is so beautiful you are hard-pressed not to press F12 every 30 seconds!

As I mentioned earlier, I had to install TDM again and now I am slowly downloading the missions.
Yesterday I downloaded this mision to play it again. It is a really nice mission with excellent decorations and not too complicated to play.
But I think it is also a mission prior to computing and someone had finished it before, as I could see on the saved games page 😅

      Does anyone actually use the Normalise button in the Surface inspector? Even after looking at the code I'm not quite sure what it's for.

      Turns out my 15th anniversary mission idea has already been done once or twice before! I've been beaten to the punch once again, but I suppose that's to be expected when there's over 170 FMs out there, eh? I'm not complaining though, I love learning new tricks and taking inspiration from past FMs. Best of luck on your own fan missions!

      I wanna play Doom 3, but fhDoom has much better features than dhewm3, yet fhDoom is old, outdated and probably not supported. Damn!
      Makes me think that TDM engine for Doom 3 itself would actually be perfect.

      Maybe a bit of advice ? In the FM series I'm preparing, the two main characters have the given names Toby and Agnes (it's the protagonist and deuteragonist, respectively), I've been toying with the idea of giving them family names as well, since many of the FM series have named protagonists who have surnames. Toby's from a family who were usually farriers, though he eventually wound up working as a cobbler (this serves as a daylight "front" for his night time thieving). Would it make sense if the man's popularly accepted family name was Farrier ? It's an existing, though less common English surname, and it directly refers to the profession practiced by his relatives. Your suggestions ?

      Looks like the "Reverse April Fools" releases were too well hidden. Darkfate still hasn't acknowledge all the new releases. Did you play any of the new April Fools missions?
