Hello folks!

It's been a long time since I mapped in TDM but now it's time to rerelease this mission from back in 2011. It started as a speed build contest with some prior work.
Now it's released as a slow build with a lot of prior work ;) I say this because the prior work was made by me and my friend Ziggun but a lot of additional details and
tweaking has been added by BikerDude! And it has taken a looooong time...

As it's originally a speed build (and my friend, who likes intricate storylines) some things in the mission may come out as rather cryptic and may not make a whole lot of sense. There may
surely be some glitchy textures but the main thing is that the mission is at least playable and the inhabitants of the mission should now work as planned.


Anyhow, I feel I must let this mission go from my chest so I can continue on my other projects (some of them are actually other TDM-missions!).


Thanks to the team for making this mod and these missions possible!

BRIEFING

 


Diary entry, 20th of October, 1721

Say one thing about Sir Henry Doyle, say he's a taffing idiot. Yes, I admit that. Only a taffing idiot would try to rob Lord taffing Cromwell, much less do it while
being his honoured guest. I came out here to enjoy the quiet countryside and to study under the great inventor so that I could forget about all the troubles back in
Bridgeport. But I suppose they didn't forget about me, nor did the Lady Terevaine. She must've found out I was staying at Cromwell's estate somehow, seeing as she had
a letter delivered to me right in the middle of supper. Could barely keep a straight face as I read it. The nerve of that woman... Thankfully, my fellow guest at the
mansion, Father Tellam, had another heated argument with Cromwell about the whole Gottfried II project. Called it a great sin against the Builder and all that. Ironic,
considering what Lady Terevaine wrote to me, but it did give me the perfect excuse to retire for the night. Still, it seems I have yet another job to do for this little
shrew. And like always, she promises that this one will be the last of them before she finally helps me with my debts. For the life of me, I will never understand what
she gets out of these oddjobs, but I suspect it might just be some form of deranged joy at seeing me stumble around robbing everyone I know. And this time, she wants me
to steal Lord Cromwell's very passion, the blueprints for his beloved airship. That in itself will not be a hard task, given that Cromwell doesn't allow any guards indoors.
From what he has told me, I suspect the blueprints to be in his study on the second floor of the east wing. I'll need to be careful, however. Cromwell is a dangerous man
and should my hand in this be known, he will make my money problems seem like a pleasant afternoon stroll. I'll need to mask this theft as a robbery, so I should try and
steal as much as I can, perhaps smash a window or two along the way. With any luck, I'll find enough goods to actually pay my debts and get free of that taffing Lady
Terevaine...

Thank you for this mission, Fieldmedic.

 

It was certainly different, and quite tense.

 

I liked the fact that there was a delay between the flashes of lightning and the arrival of the thunder. So many big-budget game studios and Hollywood films completely fail to get that right.

 

I had fun playing it :smile:

I get to the room with

the headless body and Cromwell's journal.

 

I assume a scripted event is supposed to happen but I don't see anything.

Any idea?

I got

the padlock key from the body

. What is it supposed to open?

 

1.

Did you find the hidden cabinet?

 

 

2.

I think it opens something in his bedroom, but I could be wrong. If I am then finding the place it does unlock shouldn't be hard, since there aren't reallymany hidden locks.

 

Because in mystery novels, the first suspect is almost certainly never the murderer. No matter how much unmovable evidence there is, it will all be smashed in pieces by the wrath of the remaining number of pages of the story.

Hey Congrats! Looking forward to it.

 

(Link is currently broken, btw)

I updated the in-game downloader to match the posted version from that comment.

See the first post. @Frost_Salamander has been given permission to fix issues found in this mission so version 2.1 is now available.

I will add it to the mission database this evening ( unless someone beats me to it ).

      How fun is it to play as an undead in thief trilogy / dark mod ? The haunting(T2) and To the end with nothing(T2). Those FMs are exemplary according to me

      Who is actually working on new missions right now? That I, the greatest mapper of all times (and I say this in all modesty, it is innate in me) am working on something epochal is clear to everyone by now. But who else is working on new missions? Please let me, your God, know, because it's so depressingly quiet here and I don't like to post pictures all the time, because even for me it gets a bit too boastful (although justified) with time.
