Description             : Lorgan's Web. 

Briefing                : No

===================================================================================
BACKGROUND:

    This mission takes place after Thief: The Dark Project but before Thief
II. Garrett hasn't pawned off Constantine's sword yet, and the Law and Order
crackdown in the city has yet to start. Also, the Mechanists are just
splitting away from the Hammerites.

    Garrett discovers a golden opportunity to make some money quickly. A
wealthy eccentric (some say wizard) has decided to put a rare jewelry
collection on display, and for sale to the highest bidder.


    "I've always been reluctant to work with a partner, but this time the job
was too big to handle alone. If I had a reliable fence to work with I might
not have gotten into this mess. But I've never found another fence I could
trust like Cutty.

    I decided to take on Cudget as a partner. He's an independent thief and
has managed to stay out of Cragscleft, as well as make a decent living. He has
some contacts outside of the city, including a fence who could get rid of a
really hot item. We set up a difficult job to rip off a wealthy eccentric. A
jewelry collection to be exact. Bribes had to be paid, floor plans and
information bought. It took some time to work out a decent plan.

    Now, somehow, a rumor has been started that someone is going to rip off
Lord Fishkill. He's moved the jewelry collection from his display room into
his vault. Cudget went out to find out what he could.

    Now I'm watching two guards standing outside this dump we rented. No one
knew we were here. Cudget's been missing for hours. I wonder if he turned me
in, or got caught. It's probably not a good idea to hang around here anymore."

READ GARRETT'S JOURNAL! It contains much more information leading up to this
point, as well as a few clues.

Things you should know:

    Frobbing a candle flame puts them out. So will water arrows and KOGas.
    If a street is too well lit, try putting some of the lights out IN the
       buildings. The lit windows will darken.
    Most pipes can be climbed.
    Falling off of roofs can kill you.

===================================================================================
Bug Fixes:
Fixed textures on roof above brothel (I still don't know how you got up there Sarik!)
Dead hooker no longer damages Garrett.
Lorgan dies better, so TrigSlain effects have less problems.
Light mushrooms can be "used" one at a time
Improved ending objectives.
Fix "New Objectives" noise with no objective on Normal difficulty.
On "Normal", killing Lorgan as hidden objective is fixed.
Fixed strange interaction with light behind Garrett's apartment vanishing midgame
Other minor fixes (generators, coffee mugs)
===================================================================================
CREDITS:

Zail, Saracoth for ideas which got me started (Hammer bashing down the door)
Tels and mad god for helping me fix my level when it was horribly broken
mad god for the lantern basics (which became the Portable Light Mushrooms)
Totality for custom objects, and S&R, and everything else
Deep Quantas for conversations
Datoyminaytah for reskinnables, and plenty of help, and the Trickster picture.
SilentSleep for blockable brushes, and more
Thumper, Despot, xarax, d0om, for many examples of how things work.
xarax for the "Pathfinding limit fix", which is the only way this got built!
Trimfect, for the glass texture, and how to make windows
I'm sure there are plenty of other people I forgot to thank, please don't
take it personally. I needed so much help, and there were so many who
helped me. If I forgot you, consider yourself thanked!

Daxim and Loanstar for voice work
My two brothers (Doug and Scott Sybel) for voice work on some guards
Thanks to my wife Lauri for the female voices, as well as infinite patience
and tolerance as I created this FM. (She's a gem!)

******************************************************************************
I'd like to thank my beta-testers. They started with a really pathetic, buggy,
mission, and helped me turn it into the pathetic, buggy version you see today!
(No really, they put up with a lot of problems, which I think I fixed. It was
a lot worse!)

GayleSaver, WillieSutton, Taffer_Benjo, Viper6, Nightwalker, Lancer,
Barry Graves, t-wrexx, Mikal Hauser

Finally:
    I'd like to thank LGS (even though they are gone) for bringing Thief to
life, and giving us such a wonderful playground for our imaginations!
