What fun to replay this again after several years.
I'm in the area of spinning faces to open doors. After going through a door and seeing a lever directly across from me that opens a lave pit, which I didn't open. I managed to open the door on my left; returning through this door I must lean around to highlight a lever in a niche to my right. Problem is, it will not highlight so I can't frob it. I can see a button below and across from me, but does me no good to hit it.
Confused yet?; me too! :weird:
Never mind..I couldn't see the ladder.....

Trying to play the FM and I'm having fun, but I'm experiencing some technical (and unusual) problems.
Firstly, I get cumulative lag. After about half an hour the game becomes unplayable. Restarting fixes it, but leads to the second problem. Several save files becomes corrupted and cause a CTD when I try to load them. One or two saves are good, but it sucks to have to go back and redo it all.
The other problem is very strange. When I was getting the circle of Vlad, I shot a rope arrow to climb back up the tower. Instead of a rope arrow, the image in my bow was a expanding glob of red dots, as if I had been hit from the side. When I fired the "arrow", there was no rope, but a constant dripping of blood. I couldn't climb it, so it's not just a graphics thing. Another time I shot an arrow and it turned into a skull when it landed.
So: What the hell?

Sounds like you need an Exorcist for your Thief-installation instead of technical advice. :ebil:
Sorry, I never heard about such weird problems. :wot:
What you describe is not part of this mission (like shooting skulls, odd arrows, ...)
Maybe a cleanup of your Thief-installation might help.

We knew about the slow downs. The mission was cobbled together by dozens of people with messy seams and overlaps, and it was a marathon just to get it running without rendering errors, to say nothing of getting it anywhere approaching optimized. (Even if I could see things that could be optimized, could I change another author's work? If so, how far is too far? I felt bad changing stuff that was necessary.) So I took it as sort of the nature of the beast.
As for the spinning red blood globules and skull thing, that's a known bug that has a definite fix, but I can't recall it now. But I know it's in these forums if you do a search because it's come up a lot. It's not a problem specific to this FM but a more general thing, like a hanging bug from Thief 2 or a script or something.

I replayed this mission. It´s wacky but lots of fun. I especially like the 'gang wars' you can arrange.
Two questions:
* Is there a key to the locked toolbox in The_Dude's first area? (cozy room with a single Mechanist and a Mona Lisa painting in the metal/lava part)
* Where is the rest of the loot? I have read this entire thread. I have all the secrets (The_Dude was sneaky when he put a switch to another secret within a secret area!) and loot pieces that are mentioned in the thread, but I still have only 4201/4773. WTF? Is there a large stash or some mighty valuable piece I could have missed?

I'd also like to have the answer for this......found it!

Heck, after reading this thread, I have a strong urge to replay this mission.
Original download link is broken, it seems... I'll try googling for it. :thumb:
