Yeah i have rope arrows and i've been every where but can't find way in. Im not sure if its a patch issue or you have to use new dark for things to work, like, i can't turn pages in the books in this fm. I only finish about 10 % of FM's because of issues like these.
Edit 2: I've had fms where i couldn't determine what surfaces were wood and which were stone so i had to quit playing those ones because i didn't know where rope arrows would stick. If thats the problem i'll have to quit playing this one too. Texture problem ?

Are you saying you are actually playing this with OldDark? If so (and I would be shocked that it could even load the mission without crashing) then this is definitely the cause of some problems.

You can always save, try a rope arrow and then reload if it doesn't stick. No need to just bail on the whole mission.

Known issues:- Unknown to me before releasing the mission, there is an issue with the script TrapTimedRelay and certain versions of Thief 2. See here for more details: (
http://dromed.whoopdedo.org/dromed/traptimedrelayprob) This appears to be affecting GoG copies of the game too. If you find certain puzzles are broken (specifically:
making a key using a mould), you may need to try a different gen.osm (one of the base T2 script files). Try this one (always back up your own first): (

- A key and a key-like object are accidentally sharing the same values, meaning you can unlock one with the other. It's possible to break the mission if you do this, so if you use a key somewhere that seems incorrect, you may have to reload.

no - I'm using FMSel with 1.27 patch as posted above.
I have steam copy installed.
I tried shooting arrows where i thought there should be wood but no luck.

Test surfaces for rope arrow compatibility with broadhead arrows, that's what they're there for.
You should patch to newdark and restart the mission. Almost all the fan missions made in the past several years are made with it in mind. And you should have newmantle on for this one.
The only issues I've had were with the gen.osm file, which will bug one of the scripts if you're playing with the GOG version. But you're clearly not, so I don't know if you will have that problem.

What is newdark ? I have 1.27 patch. Don't what you mean.
Cataphract on 12/2/2020 at 16:46
Do you have Thief_2ND.exe? If you do that means you have newdark.
howeird on 12/2/2020 at 17:11
No - i have T2Fix_1.27a.exe and T2Fix_1.27b.exe
Yandros on 12/2/2020 at 17:34
If you have used T2Fix 1.27 then you have the latest version of NewDark. NewDark refers to any versions of the engine (game .exe) v1.19 or higher, which appeared first in 2012. OldDark is v1.18 which shipped with the original Thief 2 game in 2000.

It may just be i can't find where I'm suppose to go. The rope arrows work on the areas i can tell are wood but they just have loot items in those areas. I need to know where I'm suppose to go. The only other thing i know that doesn't seem right is the book pages don't turn on the books that light up. Maybe there are not more pages ??? Telling me to use rope arrows doesn't help at all.
Edit: I went back to the first area and found a book that the pages turn so that's not a issue. Some of areas that look like wood bounce off like shooting at stone.

If you have rope arrows, you want to go to the corner between Lady Miranda's and the police station. There will be a beam in a nook there that you can rope up to.
