Hi Lady Taffer, Sorry, for your difficulty. What level were you playing ? And, if you: Check Cell 18, is the Disguise on the floor under his cell window? and Did you see a Key Ring on the base of the upper floor Roster in the control room? To your right entering the door.

Easy level - stuck on Basso
There is no key ring in the control room (the onewith all of the cell door switches). There are no clothes in Grant II's cell either, just a letter saying he does not know where he put them. Yes, I read the note on the board about Kary Grant II and being let go. I cannot go further. I have the map, bjacked all guards, have probably most of the loot for easy. I've shut down all the lights I can, but cannot do anything with the emergency alarm shut off. Is the easy level really that different for Basso? Thanks :)
After playing a little longer...
OK, now I get it There is no Basso objective on easy... DUH!!! :) I should have played on at least hard. Oh well. Nice game though.
Lady Taffer on 11/7/2010 at 20:54
I was playing on easy mode, too. So you don't save Basso, huh?
darthsLair on 11/7/2010 at 21:15
Sorry, only on Hard, expert. The only difference between Easy and Hard is:The Dead Ringer Objective, and the Basso Objective. Alittle more loot. The Revised edition will include the Basso Objective. Sorry for not making this clear in the Read me. I must have been to weary tyring to get it submitted for the contest. It dawned on me later...oops no Basso Release on Easy.:nono: The Read me was to state that Garrett had arrived prior to having knowledge that Basso had been Arrested for Murder, and the Easy difficulty was to get feel for alittle more challenge on Hard, Expert.
The Revision is to be released after the Contest is over, and many improvements have already been made. It is currently being tested at Shale Bridge, and should see release in August. With the Revision, I will intensify the experience alittle while keeping the Ghosting ability about the same.

Playing on expert, having fun with the ghosting, which I don't do very often. Probably the best prison set up I've seen, nice job. :) I need more loot! Where oh where is the loot. I've got 2300, or so. I just need more loot, then I'm done. More exploring to do.

Hi Broken Arts, Glad you like playing it. Here are some ideas for Loot:Did you find the Tiara near the Guards quarters? Walk on the ledge around the left and right midfloors, and top floor and frob the Prisoners personal items on the Window sills (Their side of the bars) Alot of the Hammerites have purses, and dont forget the Gold framed Wanted Posters. There is: 4200 loot if my brain still functions, but of course, easy for me to say. It is abundant.
Thanks for your compliment, and Happy Taffing!:thumb:

Just finished this one and really enjoyed it. The prison has that nice claustrophobic feel, which always works really great for Thief.
Congratulations, darthslair!

Great mission. I really like Jailbreak/escape FMs. I'm a little stuck tho. I've placed basso's stuff (clothes & keys) on his bed, however the Objective is still listed as incomplete. Is there something else I should do? Should Basso react in someway?
darthsLair on 13/7/2010 at 01:05
Hi Paulie007,
If you have placed the Diguise and Basso's Key ring on his bunk, did you see him reach with his right hand, out to grab the objects ?paulie, if you saw Basso grab the items, and the items dissapeared then try these three things.
1. quit, load your saved game, and if
/Basso is still standing facing his bunk, and the two items are still on his bunk. Try number 2. first. If you dont have the patched version of 1.18
Instal 2. and 3. Just unzip them into your thief2 folder. It wouldn't hurt to install both of these into your Thief2 folder, as these will update, if you haven't done so already.
2. Convict.osm may be corrupt or out of date : Here is Convict.osm (

3. If you are using the unpatched edition of Thief the Metal Age, then use this file: Newer Time Date Stamp Gen.osm This should enable you to play most fms.

Thankyou Random_Taffer ! Glad you enjoyed it.

Hey Thanks! Suggestion 2. worked for me. Maybe replacing those files will resolve problems I had with some other FMs. Anyway, I was able to complete the mission and I thouroughly enjoyed it. Have you done any other missions. if so I'd like to try them too.
