I watched your video. You jump and mantle up instantly. I jump and it doesn't mantle. I have no idea. I've jumped 100 times from all different angles, before the chest, on the chest, on the table and it won't mantle. I can mantle up the table in front of the hole, but it won't mantle up the hole. I don't know if my game is glitched or what. I haven't been able to mantle up many areas where I think I should have been able to. Sometimes when I'm on a rope arrow, it won't mantle unless I'm at a specific distance from the ledge I'm mantling on. If I'm too high, it just jumps me off the rope arrow. If I'm a bit below the top of the rope arrow, sometimes I can mantle. Like I said, it's very frustrating. Maybe if I can find the other 3 secrets I'm missing, maybe I'll make the 13500 loot goal. I think I'm shy by like 600 now. Otherwise, I may just give it up. Playing on an easier level could get me past the first part, but what's the point if I can't experience the entire game. I'm sure to run into issues in part 2.

I'm not sure but it seems I'm having problems mantling up small spaces. I may have a problem in another game. I just updated to 1.27. Maybe there is something in the update that is preventing me from mantling in smaller spaces. I'm fine with normal shelves and tables and such.

Do you have new_mantle enable?
In you cam_ext.cfg file, check the following lines:
; -------------
; game specific
; -------------
; enable new mantling code
new_mantle
That's how "new_mantle" has to be without the ";" in the beginning

Ok, changed it in the wrong directory at first, but figured out the correct one in the main Thief2 directory. It worked. Thanks. Now I can play the game and be happy. Possibly find areas that I couldn't mantle and now I can. Thanks for your help.

You´re welcome, i´m glad i could help, now that famous window can also be climbed easier.

Finished mission 2 with almost no help, short 3 secrets. Only thing I couldn't find was the tree mask, and probably wouldn't have without reading your hint. Even knowing where it was, I still couldn't find it until you gave a super spoiler.
I have one suggestion. Put a SPYGLASS. I think it would have been much easier to spot up high where I needed to rope up and go inside windows, or get to a window ledge that had loot, or balconies and such. I can't tell you how many times I shot rope arrows, usually several to get up high, and had to reload because there was nothing up there. Anyway, despite people complaining about various things with the mission, I thought it was good. I don't care about high loot requirements. It just makes me look harder. I was about 3000 short on the second mission, probably missed something in the castle. Anyway, I look forward to future projects. Thanks.

Thank you for playing this one Phil, i´m glad you enjoyed it, I´m not sure it is possible to add a spyglass like in TDM, but you can always use Garrett Zoom eye, you can see closer things in long distances.

Oh, I forgot to mention that a map would have been helpful. Storywise, if Sandra is rather powerful in the game, she should have had access to maps of the city that she could have provided Garrett to use. Just a thought. Thanks again.

Small dml to fix end game stats as a gem ring (100g) is out of the map in v1 and v1.2 releases
Note: Cardia will shortly be release v1.3 that removes this rogue gem ring and also fixes a few texture issues, but this dml will not affect v1.3
Code:

A remark: can the word "new" in "New T2 Mission" in the title of this thread be removed? For a second I thought there´s a new fanmission. an update, a continuation or anything of les paolis when I read "new fanmission" :eek:
