Question about missing text for bonus objectives in Thief the metal age - by Samantha1

Okay, so it worked with almost everything. The bonus objective in the first mission and in blackmail appear now. Also the loot amount of the first mission is correct now and the secret count in the second mission aswell. But the bonus objective in trail of blood is still not visible. It only shows a ticked box.

Surprise, surprise... The file Miss10\german\GOALS.STR (for "Trail of Blood") is faulty even in v1.18. Two of the three entries for the bonus objectives have a wrong number of quotation marks. The "text3" entry starts with two quotation marks while "text5" starts with no quotation mark as well. This does at least make these two goal texts (for Normal and Expert) fail to appear, as you said. Whether the goal text for Hard will appear or not I can't say for sure. Looks like this bug went unnoticed all these years.
We can most likely just place a corrected GOALS.STR file in {Thief 2 folder}\intrface\Miss10\german, or we might persude Jax to put the corrected one into the next version of T2Fix. (And if he does, we could fix the missing german "Secret found!" message as well. Or maybe apply the sound fix you and Zappen made for the female servant's "The air's so filthy...".) Let's see whether he likes the idea, or rather burns us at the stake for heresy due to proposing changes to the holy content of the original games.:ebil:
Well, I'll test my grand idea now anyway.:p
