The author wishes to remain anonymous (for now) and to share the following information regarding this mission:

This mission is for New Dark Thief Gold, version 1.19 or later.

UPDATE: The author has updated the mission. Here are his comments:

Here is a revised edition v.1.19 Thief Gold for those using the T1W/Tg patch.
Some are experiencing invisible sword problem. I believe they are using something other than fm selector and it is loading in T2.

Congrats on the release, anonymous author!

[Brethren]

You can get it at Southquarter too, download is HERE

The author also wanted to mention that there will be a T2 version of this mission released fairly soon as well.

[Winter Cat]

Am I the only one having the sword invisible?

[InfinituS]

Woke up and what did i find? Two new fan missions. This will be one hell of a day Love the name on this one too.

[Yandros]

Darkloader shows this as a T2 mission. I think this happens to TG missions sometimes, but am not sure what to do to make DL see it as a TG mission. WinterCat, your problem may be that you're playing it under T2 instead of TG.

Edit: Same is true of The Unseen, and skacky posted this workaround in that thread if you're using Darkloader:

It's a Darkloader bug with T1 and NewDark. It considers this FM is a T2 FM while it's not. You can use the built-in loader FMSel instead or use this method:

Install the FM, launch Darkloader and select the FM. It should display the FM as a T2 FM. Close Darkloader. Go to your Darkloader folder, open Darkloader.ini, search for unseen and at the line type=2, replace 2 with 1. This should give type=1. Save and close, and launch Darkloader again.

Great Mission ..... I just finished it :-)

By the way is there a use for the key in the windowsill in the caretakers house .... I found no place/lock where I could use it

[InfinituS]

Hmm..i think i used that. Under the windowsill there is a chest.

Anyone know where the map of treasure caves is? Can't find it.

Some scroll indicated that the caretaker did not allow a certain person to use his 'chute'.

[gnartsch]

Hmmmm... any hints on the secrets please?
Seems they are required instead of optional
I see no more rocks to blow up.

Find thePick Axe seen on the Treasure Map, then start busting rocks. Notice the difference on the map in comparison to what is actually visible in the caves. Look for boulders that seemingly block off caverns as mentioned in one of the scrolls.

Optional objectives are not possible in T1/Tg.

Nice mission!
Having to carry a lantern around in order spot the skeletons hanging in the ceiling is pretty cute!
Pretty creepy, since the undead are roaming above, but they could well be just behind you.

Finished, but with 250 short on total.
(Had a fly in DromED afterwards. For my life I can not find the rest!)

EDIT: suspected unavaillable items: 248 & 272, a silver nugget (50) and a necklace (200)
Oh, and that tiny little cave in West-North-West on the map does not actually exist. Is that supposed to be a red-herring?

There is definitely no cave there.

As for the unavailable loot (at least for the T2 version), the bracelet is collectable, you just need to remove the rubble and lean-in. There are; however, two pieces of loot a silver nugget and a necklace near the dead female thief near the shaft.

PS: I'm not the author, just someone fairly familiar with dromed.

[The Elusive One]

Am I the only one having the sword invisible?

Nope, i have the same problem and not only is it invisible it does not hit anything.

[thiefessa]

Woah, another one. I can hardly keep up. I like.
Congrats on release and thank you.

[pwl]

Can some one please give me a hint as to where the gem is I cannot find where to use the explosive??
Got the pick axe and used it on everything that makes a noise.

On yourtreasure map look at the cave top center, find the hidden cavern, throw the switch. Then go to the cavern located on your map top right to the trap door. The explosive can be used on the huge boulder in the first cave from the shaft, you can also use your pick axe.

[pwl]

Thank you I threw the switch but did not know where to go

[MysteryMan]

Nope, i have the same problem and not only is it invisible it does not hit anything.

If you are using anything other than fm-selector, it will load off of Thief2 resources, and the sword will not be visible. Here is a guide for installing fm-selector: http://www.ttlg.com/forums/showthrea...ht=fm+selector

[webe123]

Ok I am on the top in the graveyad and do not know what to do next...

I keep trying to go down the hole, but keep falling on that idiotic pick axe! What do I do now?

[MysteryMan]

Theopen grave you are describing is just that, a one way ticket to death. You must obtain the key to the Sacred Mausoleum from Old man Malcolm on his belt, lying on the floor of his house. The key you have fits the chest in his house. Once you get into the Mausoleum, look around for a way into the caves. Refer to your treasure map for navigation.

Yes, exactly those two are missing/not obtainable. Does the new version have a fix for that loot ?
Does not look like this got fixed.

I played the T2 version on "Tasty" (aka "Normal") difficulty. The secrets were definitely optional, although I had a bug that the mission stats at the end claimed "0 out of 0 secrets" (when I had definitely visited some of them).

Also, the T2 version does not have an invisible sword. My sword was quite visible (and useful for killing endless undead unhappy at having their treasures looted ).
