Thanks for the comments.
For the crypt secret, there is nothing special you should need to do. As far as I am aware, no one else has had that problem; certainly the beta-testers never reported any problems in that area. Version 1.1 does not change anything there, so that will not help.
I started Under Templehill thinking that I wanted to try my hand at lots of different things, so I put in a crypt, a wilderness area, caves, mansion; as you say, a bit of everything. Makes it more interesting to build, as well as to play. I am afraid there are no plans for a sequel. I have another FM partly build, but I am also building a System Shock 2 FM, which is taking all my time at the moment.

Only just played this one - really enjoyed it, but reading this, I seem to have missed out on stuff in the crypt. Where is this giant skull and the eyeball things?
I destroyed the lower nexus by throwing the nearby crates down the pit from the top.
frobbin hood: You'll find the things you are looking for on the way down to the lower nexus.
Take the stairs to the east of the pit.
You may need to go back to a savegame before you threw the crates.
I thought we'd fixed the crate thing during testing.![]()
So much to praise!
Greatly designed city. Finding my way through the maze of streets seemed confusing at first, but the street signs and and map helped a lot. Things like the harbour, sewers, slopes, and public buildings shows that a lot of time is spent into making it come to life
. And how the taff can you come up with such a variety of street names? Nice touch!
I had a funny moment with rescuing the drunk from a watch station cell and follow him through the streets, only to see the poor bugger getting slain by the city watch before reaching his home. How cruel![]()
The story is interesting with many events that turn darker and more complex the closer you come to your ultimate goal. The second part of the mission, leading you underground to find the missing Jemola, is a spectacular difference in terms of surrounding and enemies. Unique and very spooky!
Dealing with the nexus reminds me of the bank mechanism from MechBank, by the same author.
Overall, the size of the level is much larger then expected. This results in lower detail then what we are used to in some latest missions, and some areas feeling a bit empty, but Under Templehill compensates for being so outstrecthed with so much to explore.
Following the main story events, there are many secrets and plenty of loot waiting to be found. And not to mention several spectacular bonus objectives (of the three artifact quests i wasn't able to find the holy silver cog) and some original design elements. It kept me entertained, and sometimes puzzling, for over 4 hours.
Stunning achievement, PixieI love your work and really hope you'll make a return to dromEd some day.

You should also try Saint And Thieves.
what changes in this mission between the difficult modes?
We are trying to fix this mission. There seems to be a bug in ND 1.27 which doesn't occur in ND 1.25 or in ND 1.26.
After frobbing a dagger (777) a thief will be teleported in front of a house. He will go inside the house and frob the dagger.
But in ND 1.27, his current AIPatrol link will be ignored and he doesn't go inside.
I need some more testers to check this. The dagger is not far from the start point. Run to the market place and go east, then south. The house will be at the end of the street. It takes 2 minutes.
Does he go inside and frob the dagger?
Unna, just to make sure it wasn't any file in T2Fix causing the issue I dug out a old 1.21 thief install from 2014 patched with tafferpatch and patched that install with BulletDromed 1.27.
Without BulletDromed the intruder goes into the apartment but with BulletDromed 1.27 the intruder fails to come into Jemola's apartment, so yes it's definitely ND 1.27 causing this bug.
Playing Thief2.exe (via TFix127) the thief doesn't come into the house.
Thanks, ffox. Yep it's a NewDark 1.27 >feature<. Sadly this can mess up any mission with AICurrentPatrol links which were set on the AI. There are many missions, I just checked it.
Already found a bunch of them.

dml fix for the intruder failing to enter Jemola's apartment, as well as fixing a few misplaced objects courtesy Jax and Unna.
Important: You also NEED to replace the squirrel.osm in your T2 root folder. Under Templehill does not have a squirrel.osm in it's folder and the squirrel in T2 is an old (bad) one. Easiest way to replace your squirrel is to patch your T2 install with T2Fix, this contains a good squirrel and will be loaded by default.
or your can find a copy in the T2Scripts Bundle.
Note: AICurrentPatrol links issue may well affect a number of other missions when playing via ND 1.27 but a permanent fix for this issue will be included in the next T2Fix update.

I just installed this FM using FM Sel, with ND 1.27, and put the above text into a file called miss20.mis.dml in the Thief2/FMs/templehill folder.
When I frob the dagger, the thief does not enter the house. I am inside the house, and I can hear him start to walk away from the house. Garret says better follow him. I can follow him to a house on Brockstreet, and the 'follow the thief without him seeing you' objective ticks off.
Have I done something wrong?
The mission seems to be working OK, anyway.
We forgot to post the nut, sorry

I enjoyed this mission. Nice gameplay. I loved the way the city map is developed. Some touches, like the moving train and the frobbable girl, are very effective. Kudos to the Author for his work.
