I finally had time to reinstall T2 after a hard drive reformat, and saw part two was out. I went back to play this one to remind myself what had happened and realized I'd never finished it!
this was one of the more confusing FMs in a long while, due to it's size, and I relied pretty heavily on the walkthrough for some parts. Somehow I got to the Inn at the end without ever getting the key objective, and had to go back and do all of that.
I must admit I was disappointed that I didn't get the full story on Easy; it's always frustrating when FM makers deny access to areas & other content on lower difficulty settings. I also ended with a lot of keys I never got to use (like library keys), but maybe those will come into play in the second one?
congratulations, Sterlino, this is quite the mission! now, on to the second part :sly:

It seems that I've just found the solution for all the people who experience crashes when entering the quicksand. [post=1448776]Roz[/post] brought me on the right track when (s?)he mentioned (s?)he had to re-install the Gaylesaver scripts, and after that the mission didn't work anymore.
Hey beauchlein, thank you! -- cool :cool: ; I hadn't realized that somebody had found a solution to this problem. I haven't tried it yet but I will -- I have waited for a long time to be able to play this level once more!
And it's a she. :cheeky:

Don't celebrate yet! I think there was someone already for whom this script thing
didn't work. Maybe you should try to reach the quicksand as soon as possible (through the entrance blocked by stalagmites/stalagtites) on easiest difficulty, and then see whether you can cross it or not. If you don't do this, you might play this for a long time and then realize you
still can't finish it.
If, however, crossing the swamp works for you, then you can replay the mission any way you like, knowing that you can complete it.

:( Rats, I rejoiced too soon. I tried the beta scripts but Thief 2 crashed totally. I reinstalled the newer scripts I had and tried the HoC again -- the game still crashed. So no matter what, I just can't play this mission again, at all. Probably something to do with Windows 7 and newer PCs, I'm using the (pre)hacked .exe file to play Thief 2.

Or maybe another issue with scripts and Windows 7. There has been at least one already, which forced Sensut to publish an updated version of the Dracula campaign in 2010.
And there definitely is some problem with the quicksand area even on computers without Windows 7 for some players. I think this place in the mission is just cursed...

I recently installed v1.21 (New Dark) on my new PC (yeah). I wondered what it would make of the Horns of Canzo -- A long way up, a long time favorite FM of mine I haven't been able to play because of some issues with the quicksand trap. I thought I'd give it a try and what do you know -- it worked!! I can now play past this point again!! :D
The only thing is that the FMSel gave me a warning about not being able to convert mp3 to wav (and asked me to download libmp3lame.dll converter). I went ahead and installed the FM and started playing it (I wouldn't have had any idea what to do with the lame converter anyway).
So now I'm going to play it through in earnest -- I just rushed through the beginning to get to the quicksand trap to try it out... What a great mission from Sterlino.

Hi all,
I'm replaying Horns of Canzo: A long way up.
I can't play it on expert, because I need to BJ the weaponmaster to get his flare and key. They are blocked otherwise.
On hard the blue key in the weaponshop is missing and the eyebull of the dartboard doesn't work.
On Easy the waterlock isn't there.
Any suggestions here?
:angel:

Gloria, I added spoiler covers to your post and moved it to the appropriate thread. There is no reason to start new threads for questions about missions that already have threads.
As for your questions, I don't know the answer. I'm sure someone will come along who does.

SORRY about that! Thanks for reminding me :angel:
