STORY
==============================================================
"Therefore whatever you have said in the dark shall be heard in the light, and what you have whispered in private rooms shall be proclaimed on the housetops."
- Luke 12:3
The district of Highmarket has always seemed like a good place for a man like me to fill his purse - lots of rich people with sordid secrets. I've never had a good enough reason to risk it before, but last night, I overheard a conversation while drinking in my local inn - it seems the Hammerites have been boasting about the discovery of the Urn of St Tannis, a valuable ancient artifact, during the excavation of a ruined abbey outside the City. It's currently being displayed in the Church of the Builder's Grace, and should make a lucrative target.
I went to visit my fence, Grim, to ask him whether he could deal with such a prize, but the man was preoccupied with terror - it seems the infamous prosecutor, Lurinz Gastrule, is building a case against him. Gastrule is one of those dangerous hypocrites, always making shady deals with contacts in the underworld, then turning against them whenever it suits him to line his own pockets. Grim is a reliable fence, so if I want him to take the Urn, I'll need to see if I can interrupt Gastrule's plans.
As if that wasn't already reason enough to visit Highmarket, I've also got word that the fabled Codex of Alavash has turned up in the district. The Keepers have been after it for years. If I'm to track it down, I'll need information, so I've arranged to meet an old contact of mine, a jittery, nervous small-time thief by the name of Letchie, to find out more.
This won't be an easy night. I spent a couple of days preparing and buying equipment, only to find out that the Watch have established a curfew due to a couple of murders and a rash of mysterious disappearances in the district. It means I'll have to sneak into Highmarket before sundown - not ideal, but I've dealt with worse conditions.
==============================================================
NOTES
==============================================================
* This mission requires the New Dark patch. The latest version at the time of writing is v1.24. This can be downloaded from here: http://www.southquarter.com/downloads/patches/t2_v124.zip If you do not have the latest version, the game will crash as soon as you try and boot it.
* There are some hi-poly, long sightline areas in this level. As such, you may experience framerate drops on low-end PCs. A modern PC with a decent graphics card should have no issues.
* Please ensure you have new_mantle enabled in cam_ext.cfg, otherwise you won't be able to climb in certain places, and you may get stuck.
* This mission makes full use of EAX (Environmental Audio Extension). If you are unable to activate EAX in the Options menu (i.e. your soundcard doesn't support it), you can install OpenAL from here: https://www.openal.org/downloads/ then ensure Hardware Acceleration is set to OpenAL, then set EAX to On. If you click Speaker Test, you should hear the difference ? the test sounds will be echoey.
* The mission uses fog - please ensure Weather & Fog settings are turned on in the options.
THIS MISSION FEATURES A FEW CHANGES TO CORE GAMEPLAY THAT YOU SHOULD BE AWARE OF:
* AI bumps - the AI have slightly better body awareness than default Thief, and will notice you if you bump into them.
* Because of the time of day of the mission, "darkness" is not completely dark while outside. Your Light Gem and the AI awareness of you will be affected by this. Dark areas in interiors will allow you to become fully hidden.
* There are new footstep sounds for tiled roofs and chains/wire fences. The roof tile material has similar alertness values to stone or wood - i.e. if you walk on it, you won't automatically alert people, but if you jump, you probably will. The chain material has low noise/alertness values.
* You can climb drainpipes.
==============================================================
KNOWN BUGS
==============================================================
* Due to the size of the mission, there may be the occasional AI pathfinding issue. I've tried to catch them all, but it's like playing Whack-a-mole.

Geschichte
==============================================================
"Therefore whatever you have said in the dark shall be heard in the light, and what you have whispered in private rooms shall be proclaimed on the housetops."
- Luke 12:3
Der Bezirk Highmarket war immer f?r einen Zusatzverdienst wie geschaffen - massig Reiche mit geheimen Verstecken.
Bisher ging ich das Risiko dort nie ein, aber gestern Abend h?rte ich ein Gespr?ch in der Kneipe mit.
Offenbar prahlen die Hammeriten mit dem Fund der Urne von St Tannis, einem wertvollen Kleinod, das bei einer Ausgrabung zutage trat.
Sie wird in der Kirche 'Erbauers Gnaden' ausgestellt und sollte ein lohnenswertes Ziel f?r mich sein.
Ich fragte meinen Hehler Grim, ob er damit etwas anfangen k?nne, doch der hatte andere Sorgen - anscheinend h?ngt ihm der Staatsanwalt Lurinz Gastrule auf der Pelle.
Gastrule ist einer jener gef?hrlichen Heuchler, die selbst dunklen Gesch?ften nachgehen, dann aber ihre Gesch?ftspartner ans Messer liefern, sobald sie Kasse gemacht haben.
Grim war stets ein verl??licher Hehler, also wenn ich ihm die Urne vermitteln will, mu? ich Gastrules Pl?ne vereiteln.
Als w?re das nicht Grund genug, Highmarket aufzusuchen schnappte ich noch ein Ger?cht vom ber?hmten Kodex von Alavash auf, der sich in besagtem Stadteil befinden soll.
Die H?ter jagen dem Buch schon seit Jahren hinterher.
Wenn ich den Kodex aufsp?ren soll, brauche ich Informationen dazu, also habe ich einen alten Freund daf?r eingespannt, einen kribbeligen kleinen Kerl namens Letchie.
Das wird wohl eine schwierige Nacht.
Ich hatte mich darauf bereits seit l?ngerem vorbereitet, doch nun fand ich heraus, da? die Stadtwache eine Ausgangssperre verh?ngt hat, da sich in dem Bezirk Morde und das Verschwinden von Menschen h?ufen.
Also betrete ich den Stadtteil schon vor Sonnenuntergang - eigentlich nicht mein bevorzugter Arbeitsstil aber ich hatte schon schlechtere Ausgangsbedingungen f?r Missionen wie diese.
==============================================================
ANMERKUNGEN
==============================================================
DIESE MISSION BIETET EINIGE ?NDERUNGEN, DIE DEN SPIELABLAUF BEEINFLUSSEN:
* Die KIs haben ein deutlich besseres 'Gef?hl', das merkt man, wenn man ihnen zu nahe kommt.
* Wegen der Abendstunde ist es auch nicht v?llig dunkel drau?en. Der Lichtstein und die Aufmerksamkeit der Gegner sind entsprechend.
In Innenr?umen kann man sich aber vollst?ndig in dunklen Ecken verbergen..
* Es gibt neue Schrittger?usche f?r D?cher und Ketten/Gitter. Das Ger?usch ist wie bei Stein oder Holz, man macht also nur auf sich aufmerksam wenn man springt.
* Man kann Dachrinnen erklettern.
* This mission requires the New Dark patch. The latest version at the time of writing is v1.24. This can be downloaded from here: http://www.southquarter.com/downloads/patches/t2_v124.zip If you do not have the latest version, the game will crash as soon as you try and boot it.
* There are some hi-poly, long sightline areas in this level. As such, you may experience framerate drops on low-end PCs. A modern PC with a decent graphics card should have no issues.
* Please ensure you have new_mantle enabled in cam_ext.cfg, otherwise you won't be able to climb in certain places, and you may get stuck.
* This mission makes full use of EAX (Environmental Audio Extension). If you are unable to activate EAX in the Options menu (i.e. your soundcard doesn't support it), you can install OpenAL from here: https://www.openal.org/downloads/ then ensure Hardware Acceleration is set to OpenAL, then set EAX to On. If you click Speaker Test, you should hear the difference ? the test sounds will be echoey.

STORY
==============================================================
"Therefore whatever you have said in the dark shall be heard in the light, and what you have whispered in private rooms shall be proclaimed on the housetops."
- Luke 12:3
The district of Highmarket has always seemed like a good place for a man like me to fill his purse - lots of rich people with sordid secrets. I've never had a good enough reason to risk it before, but last night, I overheard a conversation while drinking in my local inn - it seems the Hammerites have been boasting about the discovery of the Urn of St Tannis, a valuable ancient artifact, during the excavation of a ruined abbey outside the City. It's currently being displayed in the Church of the Builder's Grace, and should make a lucrative target.
I went to visit my fence, Grim, to ask him whether he could deal with such a prize, but the man was preoccupied with terror - it seems the infamous prosecutor, Lurinz Gastrule, is building a case against him. Gastrule is one of those dangerous hypocrites, always making shady deals with contacts in the underworld, then turning against them whenever it suits him to line his own pockets. Grim is a reliable fence, so if I want him to take the Urn, I'll need to see if I can interrupt Gastrule's plans.
As if that wasn't already reason enough to visit Highmarket, I've also got word that the fabled Codex of Alavash has turned up in the district. The Keepers have been after it for years. If I'm to track it down, I'll need information, so I've arranged to meet an old contact of mine, a jittery, nervous small-time thief by the name of Letchie, to find out more.
This won't be an easy night. I spent a couple of days preparing and buying equipment, only to find out that the Watch have established a curfew due to a couple of murders and a rash of mysterious disappearances in the district. It means I'll have to sneak into Highmarket before sundown - not ideal, but I've dealt with worse conditions.

* There are some hi-poly, long sightline areas in this level. As such, you may experience framerate drops on low-end PCs. A modern PC with a decent graphics card should have no issues.
* Please ensure you have new_mantle enabled in cam_ext.cfg, otherwise you won't be able to climb in certain places, and you may get stuck.

Geschichte
==============================================================
"Therefore whatever you have said in the dark shall be heard in the light, and what you have whispered in private rooms shall be proclaimed on the housetops."
- Luke 12:3
Der Bezirk Highmarket war immer f?r einen Zusatzverdienst wie geschaffen - massig Reiche mit geheimen Verstecken.
Bisher ging ich das Risiko dort nie ein, aber gestern Abend h?rte ich ein Gespr?ch in der Kneipe mit.
Offenbar prahlen die Hammeriten mit dem Fund der Urne von St Tannis, einem wertvollen Kleinod, das bei einer Ausgrabung zutage trat.
Sie wird in der Kirche 'Erbauers Gnaden' ausgestellt und sollte ein lohnenswertes Ziel f?r mich sein.
Ich fragte meinen Hehler Grim, ob er damit etwas anfangen k?nne, doch der hatte andere Sorgen - anscheinend h?ngt ihm der Staatsanwalt Lurinz Gastrule auf der Pelle.
Gastrule ist einer jener gef?hrlichen Heuchler, die selbst dunklen Gesch?ften nachgehen, dann aber ihre Gesch?ftspartner ans Messer liefern, sobald sie Kasse gemacht haben.
Grim war stets ein verl??licher Hehler, also wenn ich ihm die Urne vermitteln will, mu? ich Gastrules Pl?ne vereiteln.
Als w?re das nicht Grund genug, Highmarket aufzusuchen schnappte ich noch ein Ger?cht vom ber?hmten Kodex von Alavash auf, der sich in besagtem Stadteil befinden soll.
Die H?ter jagen dem Buch schon seit Jahren hinterher.
Wenn ich den Kodex aufsp?ren soll, brauche ich Informationen dazu, also habe ich einen alten Freund daf?r eingespannt, einen kribbeligen kleinen Kerl namens Letchie.
Das wird wohl eine schwierige Nacht.
Ich hatte mich darauf bereits seit l?ngerem vorbereitet, doch nun fand ich heraus, da? die Stadtwache eine Ausgangssperre verh?ngt hat, da sich in dem Bezirk Morde und das Verschwinden von Menschen h?ufen.
Also betrete ich den Stadtteil schon vor Sonnenuntergang - eigentlich nicht mein bevorzugter Arbeitsstil aber ich hatte schon schlechtere Ausgangsbedingungen f?r Missionen wie diese.
==============================================================
ANMERKUNGEN
==============================================================
DIESE MISSION BIETET EINIGE ?NDERUNGEN, DIE DEN SPIELABLAUF BEEINFLUSSEN:
* Die KIs haben ein deutlich besseres 'Gef?hl', das merkt man, wenn man ihnen zu nahe kommt.
* Wegen der Abendstunde ist es auch nicht v?llig dunkel drau?en. Der Lichtstein und die Aufmerksamkeit der Gegner sind entsprechend.
In Innenr?umen kann man sich aber vollst?ndig in dunklen Ecken verbergen..
* Es gibt neue Schrittger?usche f?r D?cher und Ketten/Gitter. Das Ger?usch ist wie bei Stein oder Holz, man macht also nur auf sich aufmerksam wenn man springt.
* Man kann Dachrinnen erklettern.
* This mission requires the New Dark patch. The latest version at the time of writing is v1.24. This can be downloaded from here: http://www.southquarter.com/downloads/patches/t2_v124.zip If you do not have the latest version, the game will crash as soon as you try and boot it.
* There are some hi-poly, long sightline areas in this level. As such, you may experience framerate drops on low-end PCs. A modern PC with a decent graphics card should have no issues.
* Please ensure you have new_mantle enabled in cam_ext.cfg, otherwise you won't be able to climb in certain places, and you may get stuck.
* This mission makes full use of EAX (Environmental Audio Extension). If you are unable to activate EAX in the Options menu (i.e. your soundcard doesn't support it), you can install OpenAL from here: https://www.openal.org/downloads/ then ensure Hardware Acceleration is set to OpenAL, then set EAX to On. If you click Speaker Test, you should hear the difference ? the test sounds will be echoey.
==============================================================
KNOWN BUGS
==============================================================
* Due to the size of the mission, there may be the occasional AI pathfinding issue. I've tried to catch them all, but it's like playing Whack-a-mole.
