Blooper Reel?

[Fletcher]

So, I'm basically addicted to the Thief series. I played through all three games, and am eagerly awaiting the realease of the fourth so that I have an excuse to play them all again. So, in the meantime, I decided to try and access the "blooper reel" mission. I went to the Thief wiki and followed the instructions to access the level, but I wasn't able to. I tried all sorts of things to get it working, but nothing worked. Anyone have any ideas?

Edit user.cfg, it's going to be:

mission_map 1,2,3,4,5,15,6,7,16,9,17,10,11,12,13,14,18

add a line at the front:

starting_mission 16

so it's:

starting_mission 16
mission_map 1,2,3,4,5,15,6,7,16,9,17,10,11,12,13,14,18

Then obviously - start a game, new game and skip training.

I tried that, but it didn't work. Is there anything else I could try?

It works for me - both on Steam version patched with DDfix 1.5.11 as well as on the version patched with Tfix.

I found the problem. I had two files, one called "USER.CFG", and one called "USER.CFG.CFG" (which I probably accidentally created on my first attempt at playing the level). The files were identical in everything but name, and the extensions were hidden, so I had been editing the wrong file. I tried editing the correct file, and it didn't work, so I deleted the "USER.CFG.CFG" file, edited the right file, and got it working. So, thank you for the help. :D I hope this thread is helpful to others in the future.
