Reply With QuoteWow, great news! Can't wait to be back home this evening and play, many thanks!
I'm pleased to announce my new Thief 2 fan mission, Legacy of Knoss.
This is a loose sequel to my Thief 1 Anniversary Contest mission Catacombs of Knoss, but it is not necessary to have played that mission to play this one.
Following a clue from the necromancer Knoss's grimoire, Garrett finds himself in the gloomy district of Greytwist Murking for an appointment with a shady antiques dealer...

Notes:
- This mission has been designed to have a classic Thief look. It is highly recommended to disable all mods and texture packs so as not to clash with the intended experience.
- Requires New Dark version 1.27 or higher.
- New mantle should be turned ON. It should be set automatically by fm.cfg - don't turn it off as you might get stuck.
- You can probably climb where you're not supposed to if you really try.
- Sometimes the AIs can get stuck here and there. I've caught a few of these, but it's Dark Engine, you can't catch 'em all.
- There are a number of plot-related conversations in the mission. I have tried to make these as foolproof as possible, but be warned that the Dark engine is not good at saving and loading during conversations. I would advise that you avoid saving and loading during any conversations just in case you soft-lock yourself.
- Plot-relevant conversations are subtitled. Enable subtitles in your cam_ext.cfg to see them.
- The mission is currently English-only; if you're interested in translating, please drop me a message.
v1.1 Changes:
- Fixed a bug where the "Don't kill anyone" objective could fail near the mission end.
- Fixed the placement of a piece of loot.
- Fixed a piece of loot that could never be frobbed, meaning the total loot count was wrong.

Wow, great news! Can't wait to be back home this evening and play, many thanks!
Woohoo, Thank you.
Woot! Thank you, nicked! Your time and effort is appreciated, as always.
Yippee another mission from the Droming machine that is Nicked!
Congratulations on the release Nick, I know I'll enjoy this as you always deliver on every level.
Oh wow nicked, you just drop one cool mission after the other, thanks so much for your hard work and effort!As a matter of fact I just finished "from beneath the sands", one of your first fanmissions if I recall correct and I really enjoyed it alot too
I was just wondering what FM should I play next. Time of wondering is over now. Congratulations on the release nicked!
Thank you soooooo much!!!
P.S. The screen shots look great
Oh yes! Praise The Builder - another nicked FM! You certainly bang them out and mighty fine they all are. One very, very happy taffer sitting here right now. Thanks nicked
Hey nicked I am having trouble saving and loading?? I tried to do a quick save and it failed I then tried a hard save and that also failed?? any ideas why? I am using angelloader and have turned all mods off. Fantastic mission so far but I quit because of the saving issue. I will try turning some of the mods back on to see if that will help. I don't think I saved during a conversation but I will restart and let you know.
Update: I got completely out of game and got back in and my saves are working!!

Saves completely failing is a new one on me. If a conversation had broken, it would still let you load, but you could end up soft-locked with the conversation failing to continue.Originally Posted by pwl
Nicked I had no other problems after I restarted. Man this is an AWESOME mission it just got better the farther I went!!
Thank you for this Gem loved it!!

Oh boy, a new nicked campaign! Thanks a lot! The Catacombs of Knoss maps were some of my favorites from recent memory and I had no idea a sequel is coming.
Thank you again!
What about copying it from your old computer to the new one?
i tryed to get from the shortcut=did not work, but for some reason i cant find it on my t2 on old comp ,i got no idea where its hiding, i will try agian next time i use old comp to finish this mission
but if anyone has a t2 fmsel/fmselect please send it to me in messages,its the one you can open and look like a mini screen to show what fan mission you have ready to go

Select the download for the newest NewDark version (currently v1.27). Unpack the resulting zip file. It contains, among others, a file named contrib.zip. Unpack it as well. You should find fmsel.dll on your hard disk after that, and any other file you might need to get Thief 2 v1.27 up and running, with FMSel included.
nicked, amazing mission! I already got the stone key and am in the dungeon. I activated 4 pedestals and a sword in the tower. What to do next?
Check out the candles on the stone altar to the north of the building.
I immediately lit 4 candles on the altar. Then, using a rope arrow, I got into the lower hall. Then I activated the sword in the column. The red road was formed. What to do next is unclear.
If you mean the hallway with "laser" traps, you just need to crouch your way out to escape, then keep exploring to find the way into the garden.
Finished. I had a hitch with candles. I did not have time to read the order of extinguishing candles.
just finished mission i enjoyed it a lot great job nicked and thank you for making it 4/8 secrets a lot more above to go back to check out
