Brooklyn -> Soul_tear forgot to put the missflag in the new version; just create one yourself in the folder "string"

This got the mission launched for me but as soon as I click on Continue, I get Running Interference again.

In patchedres/strings I have missflag.str but the filedate is the year 2000 - other than that, I don't know what I'm talking about!

You need to enter "Miss(x) : "skip" until Miss21, where you put "No_loadout" and then for Miss22 "no_loadout,end" (It's somewhat a cheat since you'll have pickaxe right at the beginning, but I never managed to make the loadout screen to work :( )

Anyway, I'm very curious about how you can successfully ghost the wine cellar without knocking anyone in expert. The only good thing I found is to lock the guards :cheeky:

Is now time to met raven's nest.

WAIT A SEC - THIS IS FOR THIEF GOLD - I don't even have it installed !

Create the string folder then, where's the problem :confused:

The only real hacking I do is from cheap cigarettes - do I put the created string folder in the main T2 or in some sub-directory, and is the missflag.str file I posted good to go? It doesn't look it!

Alright, I mislead you - didn't saw you used FMsel, sorry.

Go in the directory with all the fan missions you installed with FMsel and search for the folder "string", then put a copy of a missflag.str you modified with the instruction I've given above

Brooklyn on 10/1/2016 at 13:03

OK I found it: C:\Thief2\FMs\KeeperOfInfinity2_v1_2ENG\Strings

Please - it would be a whole lot easier if you posted the contents of your missflag.str

Thanks in advance!
