Yes, I'm the same author. :)
My plan is to also remake "Die Hand des Ruhmes (The Hand of Glory)". But this time there will be much more changes. The FM will not be called "Hand of Glory" and this object won't even be in it.
It will also connect with the story from this FM here to form a small campaign.
So in the end this FM will be totally different expect from a little map layout.

@Carida: Yeah, two screenshots showed the old area with the improved terrain and light on purpose. "Project Hammer" has still many map features presented in the old FM, but there is so much more going on this time and it has (beside the old-school textures and models) improved much more on the aesthetic level, making it together with the improved story to a much more believable place to sneak into. :thumb:
I hope you enjoy this FM. Have fun! ^^

A few more things...

How do I get into the basement area behind the bricks in the armoury? There's a frobbable floor compartment, but I can't find anything to move it.

I understand the button and lockbox in the chapel open some kind of secret Hammerite door from reading the correspondence, but where is this located exactly?

Also, how do I open the machine room on the outside?

@Azaran:
Here are some tips for you:
The "important note" shoud say, that the safe with the key is right beside the lockbox. So if you find the lockbox, you find the safe in the dark corner beside it.
I think you missed a secret room, when you couldn't find the machinery key. The lord described the whereabouts in his diary. You need to find the bedroom of the sergeant and search in that room more carefully.
When you find the secret room with the machinery key, you should also get an idea, what you need to do with the basement area behind the brick walls. You have to think a little outside the box. How can you crack open a stone floor, what tools do you need?



Yeah, I really like the old-school look too. That's why I had so much fun in making this new version of my old FM. ^^
And beside the textures and models I think Thief 2 use another light engine and it doesn't look so interesting and mystery like in T1/Gold anymore. That's at least my impression. And many HD textures are very clean and smooth, which also takes away from the gritty feel you should have in an old big steampunk/medieval town.


@jiansonz
I made the city area large and "populated" on purpose, so you feel like the manor belongs in an actual city. And with NewDark the polygon count isn't limited to 1000, so I could build much more as with the original Thief engine.
And like I said, there are many things to discover in this FM. And even if you think you saw everything, there is always more. :sly: But I won't spoil anything this time. :D
