Thank you. Another question: Can you operate the crane lift in the opening area? The floor looks like it could be raised, but I haven't found a button for it.

Hehe, gonna say I feel touched to hear my design looks convincing enough to give the feeling there're machines you can operate with, but unfortunately no, the crane and the floor are pure static terrain brushes and can't move.
It's however an interesting idea. Perhaps when I'll be fixing BP after TBP and WotG, I'll make it movable to improve flow and reduce backtracking annoyance. But atm, you unfortunately can't operate it.

It's totally ok, no need to "fix" that. I just wasn't able to close the air shaft hatch without getting stuck in that area, which is why I was hoping that lift/crane could be operated. I didn't realize you can end the mission where you start, so I could just close it then. I thought you had to go to the nave's main entrance to finish.

There are three way out actually :
- starting point
- main entrance in the nave
- the broken tower on the roof

When I try to play this mission it crashes just when the loadout is done. I saw an instruction to quicksave and quickload at the start but to me the game crashes just before the mission would start. Does anyone know what's going on? All the other missions work fine for me.

There is a simple fix for this and I did it myself; STOP USING 24BIT OR 32BIT AUDIO FORMATS FFS! It was the same problem in Endless Rain.
Converting all the files to 16bit 44.1Khz Mono wav files fixed the static issue.
Had the same problem, as you said, converting them to 16bit fixed the issues, no problems during a whole playthrough with OpenAL and EAX enabled.
For anyone having the same problem and wanting to play with OpenAL/EAX, I did the following:
Extract all folders in the snd folder from the FM archive
Move all files from one folder (only MiscVOs / projectile and SFX have 24bit files!) into foobar2000
Right-click into the column bar (where Artist/Album, Track no etc. are located), select Columns -> More...
Add new custom column (name it bit depth or sth. similar), add "$info(bitspersample)" into the Pattern tab (without quotes!), apply/OK
You can now see the bit-depth of all files from the folder without checking each individually.
Select all 24bit files (those are only .wav), right-click + convert, click on "Output format", select WAV, output depth 16bit, go back
Click on "Destination", choose a folder of your liking, select "convert each file to an individual file", copy/paste "%filename%" into the Name format (again without quotes!) and convert.
After one folder is finished, add the converted 16bit files to the archive by dragging/dropping them into the correct folder, the 24bit files should be overwritten (you have to use 7zip for that as WinRAR claims it can only add files to an archive with .rar/.zip, converting the .7zip file to .zip should work as well) Do that for all 3 folders.
Install the archive with your modloader as usual.
Edit: To the mission itself, amazing visually and gameplay-wise. A little too hard for my taste but it's mostly my fault for choosing Expert. :) I wish this mission would've been the final mission of Thief 2, wasn't really a big fan of that one. Especially the start of the mission
with the outside section and the
recorded audio logs did so much for the overall atmosphere, reminded me heavily of games like Bioshock. (Voice acting was also amazing)

Is there any way to actually kill the zombie guy? I have tried many things (including all explosives) but he just gets knocked out for a while and then gets up again. Playing on normal.

There is a way but you need to pick up a special weapon before you go inside, watch here...

Thanks, Dahenjo! I remember picking up the gears, but it never occured to me to use them that way.
