Shadow Plans is a two-part mission that can be D/L'd
(http://www.ricebug.net/thief/ShadowPlans_V2.zip) here. It's in both English and German, thanks to zappenduster.
Ddfix was used for the skies, but for those who haven't had the courage to install ddfix, you'll find vanilla versions in the Xtras folder. A loot list is also included.
Part 2 was based on an abandoned mission, which came with its own gamesys. We found out late in beta that it had a lot of bugs. Replacing it with a clean gamesys would have been a ton of work, and would have probably caused more bugs. Although the testers were quite thorough in tearing this thing apart, no doubt there will be other problems. I'll fix those in a later version.
The beta team was quite unforgiving, but they are the ones who deserve the credit for providing tons of feedback, some harsh language, and even some hugs when I needed them. Thanks, Gloria.
Enjoy.

Congratulations on the release! I'm a bit swamped with testing at the moment but as soon as I have a bit of free time, I'll dive into this!

Wow, a new mission so soon after the other one, you're spoiling us, haha. :cheeky: Congrats on the release.
I know the readme says the gamesys may cause a few problems, i am not sure if this is one of them. The Normal, Hard and Expert difficulties, all lead to Expert difficulty. :cheeky:

I'll fix this on a future version (probably after the FM's been out in public for 2 weeks). The loot amount and some extra AI is all that's changed; the goals are the same for all difficulties.
For those who are technically inclined, open up miss21.mis in Dromed and type
quest_delete difficulty and hit Enter. Re-save and you're good to go.
