Having a wonderful time playing these excellent TG FMs - thank you for the fun missions StinkyKitty.
Now playing the 4th mission "Mercenaries" and hit the problem where the 4 keys don't work. I am playing via Thief1 with TFix 1.23c applied so I can play TG FMs.
This thread (
http://www.ttlg.com/forums/showthread.php?t=145002&p=2278989&viewfull=1#post2278989) advises that you need miss16.osm for the keys to work and I don't have that file in my Thief 1 directory.
To fix this I downloaded the latest TFix patch (1.25c) (see here: (
http://www.ttlg.com/forums/showthread.php?t=134733) ). I opened TFix125c using 7-Zip and found the file miss16.osm which I copied to my Thief 1 directory. Yippee - keys are now working!
Thanks to all the previous posts that helped me work out what I needed to fix. Hopefully this summary might help anyone else who hits this issue with the keys not working.
Onwards to complete the "Mercenaries" mission and finish this great 4-miss pack.

I had these missions on my to-do list for a while but finally got around to playing them. They were excellent! I really liked how all the missions had instances of weird and creative architecture. Even the buildings had fun twisty layouts that were far from typical floorplans. Of course the lighting and guard placement and loot were well done too, but it's the "unusual" areas that I will remember most about these missions.

Don't know why I waited so long before playing CPWW and Mercenaries, but these missions are great! :D
Thank you, StinkyKitty! Looking forward to playing the conclusion to this campaign!

Thank you for the campaign !
The first mission is very well designed ! We have a bit of Constantine's garden , cragsleft's mine plus horn of quintus at the end a very well mix of them in the first mission. You have put some of new stealth mechanics like lure the guard at the stairs by sabotaging the machine and bypass the security of the elevator by following the first guard closely. Very good idea so when I finished the first mission i was glad to see that is not a single FM but a campaign ! ^^
The second mission is great too, what I like is the two ways to enter the mansion, btw I laughed when i read the guest book, most of the guests presented their condolences to the widow after the burial ceremony, except one person who said "the food was great" :laff: Good mansion level overall, i wonder if you ever played Vagrant Story because the lost medieval city at the end recall me Lea mundis. ;)
The third mission is great too, we have at least four ways to enter the precursor's temple :D: a museum to clean up and a sewer level to explore and I encountered no AI's errors or bugs in the safe/friendly zone.
I less liked the 4th mission, the guardian temple drove me crazy :laff:

Hello taffers, I finished the first mission and found the infinite crate. It's only for fun or is there a secret reachable only using it?
Having read the thread I guess it's just for fun, there seems to be one in each missions.
StinkyKitty on 14/5/2020 at 20:11
I know I hid a stack of 25 mines near the beginning of the first level, and there's a secret near the end of the second level, but that might be it. Otherwise the Infinity Crate is just for fun. :ebil: You can even use it to slowfall!

Where might I have missed loot in Mercenaries?

I am stuck, and/or running in circles in the last mission. I think I've finished the main area of the house with the many thieves. All I see is there are 4 elemental doors, I have an earth key which (in itself) won't open the earth door, and have blurry suggestions for the other three from a readable.
Any advice? Thank you!

Ticky, I don't know if you still need this information, but I'll help in any case.
For the Sky Key, get to the very top of the level and look around carefully.
For the Water Key, as the name suggests, it is located in the water. Check the ground level of the keep.
For the Fire Key, check the fireplaces in the keep.
