                                                Version	                     2.0

                      WARNING! - PLEASE READ BEFORE PLAYING!
        
            If you have the Thief  Enhancement Pack installed a crash may occur, due to the massive use of custom
            resources, when loading Night Three.
            The crash can be avoided by saving in the debrief screen of the previous mission, quitting the game, then 
            restarting it and loading the save.

                                ADULT WARNING 

            Some of the content is of an adult nature so these missions may not be suitable for children.

            Changes in version 2:

           I hope to have fixed Basso’s freezing bug when he is released. If the bug still shows up remember to not 
            leave corpses in his sight and to save in another slot BEFORE releasing him.

            Added some objects from Nameless Voice’s  Thief Enhancement Pack recently released. 

            Corrected a pair of errors in the readables and made some minor adjusting
.
              
                              INFORMATION - HINTS

             This mini campaign, which is composed of a short prologue and three missions, was initially meant to be
             only one FM. Since it got a bit out of hand, I had to divide it into three parts: Night One, Night Two and
             Night Three.

             You should, however, still think of it as if it were one. The first two levels take place in the same little town
             that you will have to visit on two consecutive nights. Most of the significant places that you will visit on
             Night One are closed to you on Night Two and you will have access to different buildings.
 
             Lockpicks
             On Night One you will have only one lockpick, so don't go crazy searching for the other one. Some of the
             locks can only be picked half-way open on Night One. You will be able to finish opening them on Night 
             Two.

             Doors
             If a door doesn't highlight and doesn't make any sound when hit, it means that it will never open, at least
             during the current level.

             AI's
             There are a few interactive AI's, which means that they highlight and that you have to click (or use the "use"
              key) on them. You can do this whether they are alerted or not.
             Be warned though, that you will not be able to pick them up if you kill or blackjack them. 

                                       DESCRIPTION

            A few months have passed since Garrett helped Basso and Jenivere escape together. They are now happily 
            married and have settled down in a small town close to the city: East Fording,  where Basso decided to open 
            a locksmithing shop.  

            Shortly thereafter, Basso invited Garrett to spend a few days at his home.  Garrett accepted the invitation 
            and received a reply the next day.

                    "Garrett,

            Jenivere and I are thrilled that you will be spending time with us.  As mentioned in the invitation, we will be
             waiting for you at the Carnival which is scheduled to begin in 20 days.
           I can't wait to see you again. I miss the good old days.  I also have a suggestion: leave your "work tools" at
           home...let's have some fun instead!
           Your affectionate friends,

                       Jenivere and Basso

           P.S. We have had two or three cases of plague in town recently, therefore the city council has decided to
           impose a curfew.  This will most likely be settled within a few days, but just in case it isn't, I have enclosed a 
           map of my house.  There is a  hidden passageway just outside the city walls that was once used by smugglers.
          The exit is in my storage hut, and from there you will be able to enter the city without being seen."

                             ITALIANO

              Come installare la Missione: 

             Se usate la versione 4.3 di Darkloader (cosa che consiglio) non dovete far altro che porre la missione zippata
              nella cartella che usate di solito. Quindi avviate Darkloader e selezionate Italiano nel menù.
              Sconsiglio di usare la versione 4.2, sembra che possiate scegliere la lingua, ma non è così, vi ritroverete i file
              sparpagliati qua e là senza sapere dove andarli a pescare.
             Se usate la versione 4.1 o precedenti procedete in questo modo: installate la missione scegliendo "install 
              only", quindi chiudete Darkloader e andate nella cartella dove avete installato Thief2. Trovate e aprite la
              cartella "books", quindi rinominate la cartella "English" come volete e cambiate il nome della cartella 
              "Italian" con "English".
              Per leggere gli obiettivi in italiano: Aprite la cartella "Intrface", dentro vi troverete le cartelle miss21, miss22,
              miss23, miss24. Aprite "miss21" e ripetete l'operazione che avete fatto prima, scambiando e rinominando le 
              cartelle English e Italian.
              Ripetete il tutto con le cartelle miss22, miss23 e miss24.

                     ATTENZIONE! - PER FAVORE LEGGERE PRIMA DI GIOCARE!
               
              Se avete installato il Thief  Enhancement Pack si potrebbe verificare un crash, dovuto all’uso massiccio
              di risorse personalizzate, durante il caricamento di Night Three.
              Potete evitare che ciò avvenga salvando il gioco durante la schermata di caricamento della missione 
              precedente ed arrestando il gioco. Riavviare quindi Thief 2 e richiamare la partita salvata.

                               AVVISO CONTENUTI

              Per alcune situazioni, contenuti ed immagini potreste considerare queste missioni non adatte ai bambini. 

                              Cambiamenti nella seconda versione

              Spero di aver posto rimedio al bug di Basso che si fermava quando veniva liberato. Se il problema si 
               dovesse ripresentare ricordatevi di fare un salvataggio in un nuovo slot PRIMA di liberare Basso e di
               non lasciare cadaveri o gente manganellata alla sua vista. Se Basso si ferma non riprenderà a camminare,
               dovrete richiamare il salvataggio precedente.

               Aggiunti alcuni oggetti dal Thief Enhancement Pack recentemente rilasciato da Nameless Voice.
               
               Corretti un paio di errori negli scritti e rimediato ad alcuni errori di minore importanza.

                 Informazioni - suggerimenti

              Questa mini campagna, composta da un breve prologo e tre missioni,  è stata inizialmente concepita come
              un'unica FM, ma siccome mi è sfuggita di mano ho dovuto dividerla in tre: Night One, Night Two e Night
              Three. 
              Ciò nonostante dovreste ancora considerarla come cosa unica, specialmente i primi due livelli, che sono
              ambientati nella medesima piccola cittadina e che dovrete visitare in due notti consecutive.
              La maggior parte degli interni significativi che potrete visitare in Night One, in Night Two saranno chiusi, 
              ma avrete accesso ad altre case, palezzi e strade.

                  Grimaldelli
             In Night One avrete un solo grimaldello, perciò non impazzite per cercare l'altro. Se riuscite ad aprire solo
              metà di una serratura, ciò significa che potrete aprirla completamente solo in Night Two.

                 Porte
             Se una porta non si "illumina" e non emette nessun suono se percossa, significa che non si aprirà, perlomeno
             non durante la missione corrente.

                 Personaggi
              Ci sono alcuni personaggi interattivi. Ciò significa che si "illuminano" e che dovrete cliccare (o usare il tasto
             "usa") su di loro. Questo potrete farlo sia che siano consapevoli o meno della vostra presenza.
             Attenzione però: se doveste tramortirli o ucciderli non potrete prenderne il corpo e trasportarlo altrove per
              nasconderlo.

                                  DESCRIZIONE:

                 Sono passati pochi mesi da quando Garrett ha aiutato Basso e Jenivere a fuggire. 
                 Ora sono felicemente sposati e sono andati a vivere in una piccola cittadina vicina alla City, East Fording. 
                 Qui Basso ha aperto un piccolo negozio di ferramenta.
                  Poco tempo dopo Basso ha invitato Garrett a trascorrere qualche giorno a casa sua; Garrett accetta ed il 
                  giorno dopo riceve un messaggio di conferma:

                            "Garrett,

                 Jenivere ed io siamo felici che tu abbia accettato il nostro invito. Come d'accordo ti aspettiamo tra una 
                 ventina di giorni, in occasione del Carnevale.
                Non vedo l'ora di rivederti e di passare qulche giorno con te come ai vecchi tempi. Ho solo una 
                raccomandazione da farti: per una volta lascia a casa i "ferri del mestiere" e pensiamo solo a divertirci. 
                I tuoi amici affezionati

                         Jenivere e Basso 

                P.S. Siccome abbiamo avuto due o tre casi di rabbia in città, al momento è in vigore il coprifuoco. Molto
                probabilmente la cosa si risolverà in un paio di giorni, ma in ogni caso ti allego questa mappa, la mia casa si 
                trova a ridosso delle mura della città, c'è un passaggio nascosto, che un tempo veniva usato dai
                contrabbandieri, che sbuca nel capanno degli attrezzi, di là potrai entrare senza essere visto."
