Dahenjo if the gear inside doesn't highlight just turn on the generator and turn it off again.
Thanks Claudia and Cardia!
Peter when the Hammer icon hit the ground (in early betas )it changed into a different icon. Thus being hit by a sword or blackjack causes the same thing to happen. The shorter fall now doesn't do enough damage to the icon to "kill" it. A simple fix prevents the weapons from damaging the icon. :) Its not a game breaker but still I might post a new version.
Ravenus1 a puzzle was needed to reach that underground area. :)

i am going to be burnt for weeks,i went to shut off the water and omg it about seared my legs and feet,then realized i could have walked around opps,i did have 2 dew drops by end of mission so over all very happy
nice touch on that and also all fan mission makers take notice how great the ladders worked,nothing worse then going up and ladder then not being able to hook on to get down,so three cheers for amazing ladder work,i love all the small things that made this mission fun
the rails walkways reminded me of cradle mission in thief 3 and great ending,and yes not only did i go up stairs to see party i also saw the 2 in the game room having a good time,classic 7 sister dance moves there :P

Do I need it fixed to
exit at the end since original way in is blocked?
You need that power to open the gate and exit properly. However, the exit is not all that important. Just hit CTRL-ALT-SHIFT-END at the exit gate to end it.
That said, it would be nice to know why the existing gear does not highlight for you.
If you hit Pause / Break key and check the T2 icon on the task bar, does it indicate version 1.23?
Maybe John has some thoughts on it. I'd suggest making a save game right there so we can check it. You could post a link to the save file.
EDIT: I missed John's post above. If turning the generator on and off fixes it, so much the better.

Thanks again but turning it on/off didn't help, and I was on v1.23 but just did a fresh reinstall, restarted the mission and went straight to the generator as soon as I got inside and the gear highlights correctly now, so I'm good to go. Had played many new & old FMs on the old install so something must have gotten borked but it wasn't anything from this FM. I don't mind replaying and already found more stuff outside than on the first run.

Glad it is working now.

I don't know. You could look at it a couple of ways. Maybe a previous FM created a bug. Maybe his FM failed to account for the possibility of a previous FM changing something. For example, this FM might have relied on finding on a particular script file that an old FM had, unfortunately, overwritten. If so, this FM could have supplied its own script file independently. Anyway, there were a lot of testers, and none of us had this problem.

The script used on the gear is a Thief 2 original so it shouldn't pose a problem unless your installation got corrupted Dahenjo.

Great mission, but I can not get to the second attic where a broken ladder.

in the area where you get the maintenance key.

Also did a restart with the original T2 install that had the problem, same FM install as well (didn't uninstall/reinstall it) with all the same scripts & nothing at all changed, and this time the faulty gear highlights when I go there right away. So it's not a script problem apparently, but may be game-play related somehow or maybe a save simply got corrupted early on. I'm pretty sure I went close enough to the open gear compartment when first exploring there before having the replacement gear that I would've noticed it highlighting if it did.
One possibly related thing I noticed was that the auxiliary lighting stand near the generator turned on when I was first there and I left with it on (can't turn it off I believe) but when I returned much later with the gear it was off and couldn't be turned on again. Didn't notice anything else obviously amiss like that anywhere else in the map.
If nobody else reports this it must just be a fluke, but if they do then it may warrant checking into further.
