T2 mission : "3 Distinct Adventures v0.4" - final version (16/08/2011) - by Cardia

I have encountered strange bug in Mission 3. When I enter house or rope up to window near hostel (so far only these 2 places), I hear looped Garrett's comment: "Strange, I wonder what work Mechanists are doing here?". It repeats until I leave this part of room. It happened to me in latest 1.5 version of this mission.
Edit: Looks like it's always happening when at the entrance to houses. Final version must have missing some sound files.

Thank you Galaer for noticing this issue, i know some audio files were edited by Mat, i´ll check which ones are not working in the mission.
Ok apparently there was a missing audio file, and its strange cause the previous version doesn't have either this audio file "gar0603".
I have updated the link in the first post.

Thanks for fast fix. I have one more question about Mission 3. I checked max loot at the beginning and it shows there is 7400 loot. But after I finished this mission, my stats display that there is only 7350 loot in this mission. Why is this happening?

How do you check the max loot before you start a mission? I know it is possible to know the loot at the end of a mission when seeing the stats.

You misunderstood me. I started mission, then used skip mission cheat to check max loot. But when I finished mission properly max loot was by 50 loot lower. And I think this bug is connected to golden dices from Sobrenatural Shop. They increased my loot by 50, but at the same time lowered max loot by 50.
Also from my end stats: Pockets Picked:
1 out of 0. This sounds like classic Thief 2 bug. It should be
1 out of 1.

Ahhh yes i understand now, before i used to make that mistake of placing loot objects unfrobable without removing their loot values or set them to 0, but i no longer do that so stats in the end can be accurate.
I´ll check those golden dice....
Yes that thing of pockets picked 1 out of 0 is i believe a Thief 2 bug.

The second mission is difficult. However, jumps are not a problem once you understand their mechanics. You need to jump not in the center, but diagonally - this way you will jump a greater distance. It's also good to use a quicksave before each jump.
I like Cardia's musical taste and soundtracks. It is not Thief, but it is unique and can be fun.
Of all Cardia's missions, this one is my favorite. I even translated it into Russian. :cool:

Has the 1st Mission plot related to the "4th Planet" by The Independent thief? Since both are in Space and feature the Mechanist Friend Anna?:confused:

Only the only thing in common with that mission "4th Planet" as well "Anna to the Rescue" is the character Friend Anna.

Now I remember why I never played this FM. 1st of all I avoided all space & submarine missions back then. Didn't like their settings. I got hooked on Thief with the 'old' style missions. Bafford's Estate to be exact. Skipped the zombie ones too in the beginning. Hated those without fire arrows lol. Now 23 years later it's fun to find the missions I skipped.
I still remember the issue I had with this one though. Where in the H*** are the lockpicks? The shuttle bay is locked & not that big. Found my other equipment. Sword, pick axe and stuff, but not the lockpicks & the 1st and only floor hatch is locked. Very :confused:
Ok, so, the axe was the last thing I thought would be the key...
I did as many others (they gave me the idea) skipped ahead to mission 2. Thanks to some hint I need not waste my mines. Anyways, I don't get the riddle with the beetle nor all the switches, to turn off wind flow or something? But there's no wind...
