08/16/2017 ********** W A R N I N G ********** THIS FM CAMPAIGN REQUIRES THIEF 2 TO BE PATCHED TO AT LEAST V.1.24 PLEASE DO NOT USE ANY ENHANCEMENT PACKS: Most of the textures in this FM campaign use custom material files (.mtl) for their own effects. Having enhancement packs could present undesired results. (ex: texture scaling and lack of certain visual effects.) Author: GORT (Shaun M.D. Morin) Title: The Rebellion of the Builder 2 Filename: TROTB2_v1.01.zip Game: "Thief 2 The Metal Age" Contact info: www.oonaglah@gmail.com Current File Size: ~1.37 GB | Unpacked: ~2.32 GB Normal Mission Versions: Miss21, Miss22, Miss23, Miss24, Miss25, Miss26, Miss27, Miss28, Miss29, Miss30, Miss31, Miss32 Hidden Mission Versions: Miss33 Miss34 Miss35 Mission Select Version: Miss20 Mission Pack Version: FINAL v1.01. If you are seeing this, that means that I’ve finally released this HUGE FM campaign. It took quite some time to make this, but here it is. NOTICE: This FM campaign was constructed and tested on a PC with these specs: Windows 10 64-bit 1 Sapphire Dual-X R9 270X 2GB Radeon Graphic (PCIe) AMD FX 8350 8-core Unlocked (Black Edition) 4.00Ghz 8GB of RAM Sound Blaster X-Fi Extreme Music Sound Card (PCI) ASUS M5A99FX Pro R2.0 Motherboard Have at least above a 2.00 Ghz 2-core Processor in your PC. There are some chunky music/sound files. Have at least 4GB of DDR RAM. Ideal for 8GB or higher in DDR RAM. Also, a good PCIe video card (at least 1GB or more) with blooming enabled is recommended. The old versions of Darkloader and Garrettloader are NOT supported by this FM campaign. Use FM Selector or NewDarkloader instead. Commentary Note: This is the final version of the FM campaign. All missions can be completed. The cut-scenes are done being worked on. WARNING: These missions were made for hard core players that know Thief 2 quite well. They may not be easy to play, but they are not impossible to play and complete each mission. The hidden missions are not that important to the storyline. They’re just add-ons for fun. As some of you may know, Thief 2 does have the rope bug in it. This bug will make the player bounce off the ropes at a great speed and may kill the player by hitting the wall. This FM campaign does have vital placed ropes in it. I’ve found that it might have some to do with how the player is on the terrain. So, to avoid this bug, you may want to jump in place before going for the rope. *Notice* This version of TROTB 2 is a public release. This is the final version. All should be polished up! This FM campaign uses custom scripts for various events to function. It is also important NOT to have any custom enhancements enabled while playing this FM campaign (HD Texture replacement packs and what not). Doing so may have some undesirable effects (texture scaling and lack of certain visual effects). *Mission 11 Flight Controls* In this mission, the player’s flight controls are similar as of their normal controls (depending on the player’s view). However, the flying machine won’t go backwards. Jump will make the player ascend, and there’s a lever icon where the player’s weapon would be will have the player descend. Also, there’s a bird’s eye view icon where the items would be. When using this, however, it will cause the lever icon to disappear. To bring it back, use one of the weapon cycle keys. * Normal Mission Descriptions * Mission 1: "The Sands of Fire and Ice" Garrett finds himself in a desert with no sense of time or place. He sees a camp off in the distance. Maybe someone there could help him back to where he needs to be. Mission 2: "A Travel Through Smelter Volcano" Well, at least Garrett's at his current timeline. But who would've thought he would end up at Smelter Volcano? This place is very hot! He needs to get out of this volcano. Mission 3: "An Unexpected Confrontation" Garrett is leaving the volcano, but he now finds himself in a thick forest where he could get easily lost. However, he notices that the ground is weak in some spots. Perhaps going underground might be the best route. But who or what made these tunnels? Mission 4: "A City with problems" After an unexpected confrontation, Garrett and Saria decide to team up to dig up some dirt on what the Hammers are up to. To get the facts, however, Saria needs to interact with the people in the city. But the city has its own problems to deal with. Mission 5: "The Secret of the Occult Woods" Saria now goes into the Occult Woods to search the area where Garrett was. But things may not be the same for her when she gets there. The Hammerite High Priest told her about a rare scripture that speaks of a strange gem stone located in these very woods. Mission 6: "The King's Request" Garrett is on the move because someone told the city watch in Smelter City that they spotted him on the city's north side. While he is trying to get away, Richter tells him how to infiltrate Castle Magnus to collect info on Sir Edward. Mission 7: "An Unwilling Secret Travel" While avoiding the city watch, he enters the Smelter Tomb's main gate. But the gates shut him inside (or it seems that way). So now Garrett is stuck there. Mission 8: "The Imposter" As Saria returns from the Occult Woods, she finds out Garrett is missing. She heads for the Smelter Tomb, only to find out that the gates refuse to open. She heads to Plutonic City to see if anyone has seen Garrett. While there, she finds something else of importance. Mission 9: "The Forgotten Kingdom" Although unable to find Garrett, Saria did get vital intel on where Garrett might be, thanks to King David. She now heads for a long-forgotten kingdom in the northern mountain range, hoping to find answers. Mission 10: "Sir Edward's Plan of Invention" Saria finds herself in the high peaks of the northern mountain range. Per King Brian, Garrett should be nearby. But what lies ahead does not exactly match her initial impressions of her new surroundings. Mission 11: "Destination Zeppelin" Garrett and Saria meet with Richter to construct a plan to go after Sir Edward before he makes an invention that will most likely destroy life as they know it. Garrett is to board a flying machine and try to get inside the zeppelin with the explosives that Richter gave him. Seems an easy enough task. Mission 12: "The Falling Albatross" Garrett finds himself in a great airship (a Hover Craft Carrier). It seems that Richter was right about there being another air ship. So now, Garrett needs to find a way to take down this great airship using the explosives given him by Richter and then escape. * Hidden Mission Descriptions * (Hidden missions will be maps listed from Miss33 and on. They may be buggy, but the player can complete them.) Hidden Mission 1: "???" (NES/Famicom Solstice map) *Not all the puzzles are finished. O)_(O What are you looking at? Hidden Mission 2: "Urban Conflicts" *Not quite finished, but can be completed* Somehow, Saria could meet up with...... Well, Me and want to go for my challenge. So, she could be put in this hidden mission. :-) Hidden Mission 3: "Garrett's Nightmare" Garrett just had to mess with an old flute near a Cthulhu statue and wind up in a vortex while then heading back out of the area. The area looks familiar, but not quite right... * Play Information * Game: Thief 2: The Metal Age with at least the V.1.24 Patch (required) Number of Missions: 12 Normal Missions, 3 Hidden Missions Normal Mission Names: The Sands of Fire and Ice A Travel Through Smelter Volcano An Unexpected Confrontation A City with Problems The Secret of the Occult Woods The King's Request An Unwilling Secret Travel The Imposter The Forgotten Kingdom Sir Edward's Plan of Invention Destination Zeppelin The Falling Albatross Hidden Mission Names: O)_(O Urban Conflicts Garrett's Nightmare File names: MISSIONS: miss21.mis, miss22.mis, miss23.mis, miss24.mis, miss25.mis, miss26.mis, miss27.mis, miss28.mis, miss29.mis, miss30.mis, miss31.mis, miss32.mis, miss33.mis, miss34.mis, miss35.mis GAMESYS: ROTB2A.gam (for Garrett), ROTB2B.gam (for Saria) Subtitles: Yes.
