T2 Campaign - Keeper of Infinity 2: Mission 1 - Bad Venture (6 Jan 2016)

Well after 4 hrs. of game play I'm where Supremcee was... Second Mission will not load. Playing V1.3, have both Eng. and Ger. missflags/folders. Tried deleting German Strings folder as Supremcee did, didn't work for me. Any ideas :confused:

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

I pulled the file from another FM and modified it thus:

// Valid mission flags
//
// skip This mission doesn't exist; it should be skipped.
// no_briefing Skip the briefing movie
// no_loadout Skip the loadout
// cutscene Play a cutscene immediately afterward
// end End the game when this mission is completed
//

miss_1: "skip"
miss_2: "skip"
miss_3: "skip"
miss_4: "skip"
miss_5: "skip"
miss_6: "skip"
miss_7: "skip"
miss_8: "skip"
miss_9: "skip"
miss_10: "skip"
miss_11: "skip"
miss_12: "skip"
miss_13: "skip"
miss_14: "skip"
miss_15: "skip"
miss_16: "skip"
miss_17: "skip"
miss_18: "skip"
miss_19: "skip"
miss_20: "skip"
miss_21: "no_loadout"
miss_22: "no_loadout,end"

Now, let me see if it works out! Thanks! UPDATE All is Swell...!

Try to do this by editing the file in notepad.
That is what worked for me.

Can anyone tell me where the pickaxe is in Keeper mode. V1.3 installed.

Dark_Garrett on 15/1/2016 at 21:00

I'm at work so I can't try to fix my missflag file, but I can help with the pickaxe... in the tavern, leaning against the guy sitting by the stairs that go up

rastas on 15/1/2016 at 22:06

Thanks for the reply. But either my installation loaded incorrectly, or there may be an issue with v1.3, but no pickaxe in the Inn. After 4h 10m the extra silver is all I have left it, so I left it as is and completed the first mission.

Though I played on hard/Garrett difficulty, but I already had the pickaxe right at the start. (if this info helps at all) It's a weapon, so you can draw it with the "next/prevoius weapon".

I can't download the zip file. The original won't let me cuz it can't scan it or something & southquarter is a 404 page. :confused:

Anymore mirrors?

Would like to play 2:1 before I try 2:2...

Loot hunting continues. Down to two items now, at 9755/9955.

Looks like I could find both if I could only reach other parts of the police station (basement, back room, upper floor, attic). Both items are in the same X/Y cell (according to TTLL, The Trickster's Loot Locator) as the purse in the police station.

The 'SMoney' item I wrote about earlier is one Z unit down from the purse and there is also a purse, located in a 'drawer', one Z unit up from the known purse. Haven't seen any frobbable drawer at all in this mission (although there is one in mission 2).

(although the exact location of items in those containers you look inside and frob things in usually aren't really where they look to be in this mission - it's almost as if you are looking inside some interdimensional space or something. Several things in chests in this mission are technically located quite a bit away from those chests)

(for you to get a feel for the size of the TTLL 'cells', the small LC jar in the attic in the house S police station is located 2 cells S and two Z units up from the purse. And Lady Adaline's earrings on her bedroom floor is one cell W and one Z unit up from that same purse.)

I've taken a close look at all four windows and the attic shutters on the police station and as far as I can tell, none of them are frobbable. I even checked two windows on the corner tower NE the station. Can't find anything suspicious in the sewers or inside the room in the police station either (but WHAT does the switch do??). Or along the vine climb down for that matter.

Hats off to Soul Tear, who manages to hide things even from a cheater like me. :cheeky:

Dark_Garrett on 15/1/2016 at 22:52

Ok, I have no idea whats going on... :confused: I C/P the mission flags Taylor posted(Thanks by the way) and things are working now; sort of. If I start a New game (level skip) the second mission loads fine, but none of my saves will load the second mission no matter what. I really don't want to have to replay it, I have almost 4 hrs. invested and in preparation for the second mission I didn't use any weapons and inventory items; I basically ghosted the place!

It appears that in Keeper setting the pickaxe has to be found.
