When the elevator stops, jump on it so the sound triggers your companion who opens the upper hatch. Shoot rope arrow. Once you start climbing the rope, you need to go fast and quickly jump off it once you reach the top.

I'm just replaying this pearl (Tafferpatcher 2.14/NewDark 1.22, Darkloader, "Largo"/Expert difficulty, latest scripts) and encountered a problem:
no matter how long I was jumping, hammering the walls, yelling, etc in the stuck elevator, nobody listened and the upper hatch did not open at all. Everything else worked admirably up to this point. Has this happened to anybody else? Perhaps another NewDark issue?

EDIT: it must have been a random glitch (corrupting at least 2 earlier saves as well) because restarting part 2 from the very beginning appears to have corrected it.

I have also run into that exact glitch, and unfortunately, it's because of glitches like that that I don't trust NewDark in any mission that wasn't specifically made for it. I love NewDark for everything it brings to the table (especially for the OM's) but I just can't bring myself to use it for FM's for fear of having to start the mission all over like you had to because of some bug. I just switch out my Thief_ND and regular Thief execs and put up with the lower resolutions.

I've just finished this master piece. I've recompiled the mission with NewDark V1.23 with 32 bits lighting and had no problem at all.
Well I had just a little fright : I first recompiled with shadow softness set to High(9pt), and the second mission was unplayable, about 5-10 fps : "Noooooo, why ?!!!"
Then I tried with Medium(5pt), and finally it was playable : "Hallelujah, thank you Builder !!!"

And thanks to you Zontik, thanks for this wonderful FM \o/

I hope you haven't recompile mission 1, or you've just killed it.

Apiai on 18/12/2015 at 17:47

Yes I have, why shouldn't I ?

Zontik on 24/12/2015 at 06:57

Because some of the weather effect in mission 1 was ruined after relighting. It wasn't made by usual way, some textures must be changed before and after relighting... maybe something else, I can't remember now.
Of course, you can do everything you wish, but I just have to warn. Anyway, mission remains playable.

Zontik, which composers did you sample for the soundtrack? I hear what sounds like Wagner and Mozart. Wagner makes sense, seeing as Ludwig II was a fan. If that's the case, gotta admire the dedication to thematic accuracy. Any chance I could get you to provide a track list for me?

Zontik on 25/2/2016 at 08:13

I'f afraid there is no track list.
All music was written by Wagner, with only exception: I've used a piece of "Alan Parsons Project" in final scene (spinning down the spiral), "A cask of Amontillado" from the album dedicated to Edgar Poe. I've used it because of the same tone.
No Mozart at all.
The most of used Wagner is from his well-known operas, such as "Nibelungs Ring", "Rientzi" and... sorry, I know the title in Russian only, it can't be translated literally.
