Reply With QuoteSo I'm at the beginning of the mission and I can't equip my weapons and open the sewer hatch. Anyway to resolve this issue?
UPDATE July 19th 2024: I've made a version 2 that hopefully fixes some issues reported by TTLGers, you can download it below.
Mission Briefing:
The Hammerite Imperium was once a great center of learning, arts and culture. It also ruled the
continent with an iron fist, bringing all nations under its dominion with conquest, plunder and
slavery. The Emperor ruled from the great basilica in Cimmura, and the Crown of Saint Alexius was
the sacred symbol of his authority. Nearly two hundred years ago, the Crown disappeared in the night.
The Imperium soon collapsed in civil war, as each faction accused the others of keeping the Crown in
order to seat a new Emperor of their choosing.
A month ago, the Crown reappeared in Cimmura. The Council of Cardinals is gathering to choose a new
Hierarch to lead the entire Hammerite Order. The leading candidate is Cardinal Proyas, a strict
hardliner with a dark reputation. His rise through the ranks was accompanied by the convenient
disappearances of several enemies. Rumor has it that if Proyas is named Hierarch, he will don the
Crown and assume the title of Emperor as well. If he can reinvigorate the Hammerites’ faith and
fanaticism, the Imperium will be reborn and blood will run in the streets. A thief like you is
unlikely to thrive under a harsh new Imperial regime, not to mention the inconveniences that come
with war. You need to stop this guy.
If the Crown of Saint Alexius disappears again, that should keep Cardinal Proyas from doing too much
damage. The decision of the Council will be made this evening, so you can't wait for nightfall. No
one is being allowed into the Temple District until a new Hierarch is chosen, but you should be able
to find a way in through the sewers. A gang of thieves known as Silda's Scroungers, led by Scarlet
Silda, hides in the sewers and claims this territory. You'll want to avoid them.

Some gameplay notes:
- This V2 version has been tested with AngelLoader and FMsel.
- Running Thief with NewDark 1.27 (the latest) is 100% mandatory or this mission will not work!
- This is a daylight mission. In some areas it will not be as dark as you are used to. In this case stealth becomes more about putting things between you and the AIs' view rather than hiding in shadows.
- Guards on the street will not attack you unless they see you entering forbidden areas (mostly the church), picking pockets, or using a weapon.
- If you agitate guards on one side of town, you may find that the word has gone out to look for you, so now guards that ignored you before are hostile.
- Much of the loot is absurdly well hidden, but there is so much that you shouldn't have too much trouble reaching the loot goals. If you're one of those that tries to find all the loot...get ready for quite a challenge!
This mission was inspired by the unfinished mission "Excalabrius Harbor" by the Hammerite Imperium team. I hope I did it justice.
No AI technology was used in the creation of this mission.

How are you playing it? Through what program?
Through FM Selector
what is your output when you run dmm.exe in your thief folder - what mods are active?
and are you running newdark 1.27?
I don't use DMM and I have Thief HD and I turned it on and off and there was no change to my issue.
I am still using 1.26
I'd say unfortunately the first step is a full reinstall using NewDark 1.27.
that could be the problem right there - install the latest t2fix with newdark1.27
I know but I like using Thief 2 HD but I guess I will change since Gecko hasn't removed the 1.26 installer on the HD setup.Originally Posted by lordhern
UPDATE: I updated to 1.27 and switched to NecroAge and all is working. Congratulations on the release sir.

Yes, I've made sure to use the latest T2Fix (before this shop menu everything was looking ok). Is it ok to see some book with text before the shop? I don't recall seeing it this way in other FMs...
Thief2.log and Thief2_d3d9.log don't have any errors.

I'm having the same problem as A.Stahl. I'm on ND 1.27 and using AngelLoader 1.9.4. I get as far as a screen to purchase items but it has no text, just like the screenshot A.Stahl posted, then I crash out of Thief back to AngelLoader. I've tried on Expert and on Hard, same result both times.
Additionally I then had some messages from Norton 360's Data Protector, it didn't like a process that AngelLoader was performing. I've turned the Data Protector off, but I still can't get beyond the empty purchase items screen.
UPDATE: by default AngelLoader enables all mods. I just disabled them all, and now I can start the mission.

This happens when an object with a texture of file type .dds is linked to the starting store. So one of the mods is giving the lockpick or one of the arrows a new model and texture.
OK. It might be an idea to add a note about this to the first post.
Congratulations on the release RF, this is the 12th mission so far this year, 2024 turning into My Favourite Year.
Challenge accepted.Much of the loot is absurdly well hidden, but there is so much that you shouldn't have too much trouble reaching the loot goals. If you're one of those that tries to find all the loot...get ready for quite a challenge!
i can't open the sewer
playing with angelloader 1.4.4
Note that FMSel also enables all mods by default. Mods work on an exclude-based system, so any loader will leave them all enabled unless it explicitly disables them by name (or by "*" character, but that should never be done as it also disables mods necessary for T(2)Fix to work right)
read the first post - make CAREFUL NOTE ABOUT MODS.
btw angelloader 1.4.4 is really out of date. time to upgrade.
now playing with version 1.9.6
but i've the same problem with the sewer
mission complete on expert 5504/8873, 11/16 pockets picked, 1 hour 53 min to complete
only one thing i was disappointed with dewdrop in fire not frobable, then i was like could he have made it so if i use water arrow in fire i could maybe pick dewdrop up, but nope, very sad about that
loved the rest of the mission
and everything ran perfect first try
radogoal: Try to fully re-install Thief using the latest version here: https://www.ttlg.com/forums/showthread.php?t=149669
Use T2Fix 1.27e (without mods)
Then run the mission either through FMsel or AngelLoader (but having no mods selected).
This is awesome so far Thank you for this!!The game play and visuals are outstanding
I thought seeing Dewdrop in the fire was hilarious
By the way I am using Angelloader with no problems.
DISABLE THE MODS before you launch
same here - but I don't play with mods unless an FM author says it was built using a mod in mind.This is awesome so far Thank you for this!!
