Ack!  I'm playing on "Poor" (hmph - limit my KO's, will you?) and I'm very far along into this very very lovely mission.  And I think I've blown it.
[SPOILER]I've taken the coal cart to the end, and doinked around over there, knocking out the guards, and finally used the explosive device on the safe I found on the side of the electrical thing.  Not much in there - just a light switch and a gear that opens up the grilliron I came in through.  Followed everything as far as I could, but I'm still missing the Earth key.  Went back to the coal mine on foot and found the avalanche.
Shoot.  And I wasted the explosive device with the detonator arrow.  I have three fire arrows but they don't make a dent.
Is there another way to (a) clear the avalanche, or (b) get around to the other side?  Or do I just have to start over from the beginning because I'm a dork and never save beyond the Quicksave slot?[/SPOILER]
Thank you muchly!

yeah, i never thought about the possibility to waste the esplosive charge.... sigh
i think there is no other possibility except the firearrows... at what level you play ? edited: i see now the level is poor... so you can go to the shop and knot the keeper to get some firearrows in the display chase and in the rear box. Also remember the firebomb. With all these i think you can break the rocks.
there is no another way to get it to the other side.....[/spoiler]
go on an get also the earth key and tell me if you can go until the end of the game (i wanna know if you get the advice: Mission Complete)

A little help here please guys. I just downloaded the FM and installed it in Darkloader, re-booting my PC as recommended in the readme. When I tried to play it, it went straight into the first mission of T2. I tried a couple of other FM's at random and they all did the same thing. Anyone know what gives? And more importantly how to get out of it? TIA Steelman.
    Anyone here able/willing to help a poor taffer out?

yup:thumb:
That has happened to me a few times try installing another fm then reloading.  Did you open the Vp3 file?  That needs to be done too.
:cheeky:

just to tell you that i'm going to rebuild the whole area of the woods... cutting off many objects that makes the lag...
i'm going also to do the best that i can do to cut off totally the delay and the lag.... but it would take a long time, so..... may be 2 weeks again....

Thanks for the reply maloo:thumb:  I did as you suggested and tried installing another FM then re-installing HoC but no luck, the same thing happened. I had actually forgotten to open the Vp3 file, its the one in the zip file right? When I click on it, it goes through the usual stuff of asking me where I would like to put it etc. then just as it completes up pops a box saying something like: The procedure entry point SetHandleContext could not be located in the dynamic link library KERNEL32.dll. Huh? What the hell does that mean? I now find that any FM that I try to install always stops before completion and up pops another box that this time says: Input Stream Failure.
As I said this happens with every FM that I try to install! AAAAAGGGHHHH Has this FM from hell broken my beautiful Darkloader? AAAAGGGGHHH You gotta help me guys I HAVE NO THIEF AAAAAGGGGHHHH!

I'll wait for v1. But from what I've played so far it's very well done. :thumb:
