Inverted Pyramid Heist

Description
An edit of the Inverted Pyramid House with heist objectives, along with a few ideas I've been tinkering with. In this mission, you've been tasked with collecting... candles. Not the TV, not the golden car in the mausoleum, just candles. It's not entirely clear what makes the things so valuable, and the overwhelming security is new. You've got a bad feeling about this...

The security:
No Alarm Timer - This mission doesn't use the traditional alarm timer. Security is already here, watching you like a hawk. Plan your route, make your move, and get to the boat before you're turned into Swiss cheese.
Window Sensors - The windows are all protected by glass break sensors. Smashing your way in will set off the alarm.
Land Mines - Yes, this place has landmines. Don't ask why. They also set off the alarm when they detonate.
Guard Helicopter - The pilot will set off the alarm if he catches you doing anything suspicious, after which he'll start shooting at you like a Hunted chopper. Stay away from the house, the tennis court, and the boathouse whenever the searchlight is on you and wait for the pilot to lose interest.
Basilisco - As soon as the alarm goes off, this heavily-armed mecha dragon will swoop in and start looking for you. A gigantic war machine and a nimble helicopter are a deadly combination, be careful not to lose sight of one while hiding from the other.

A hardmode setting is available in the options menu which upguns Basilisco and heavily buffs the chopper. In addition, the chopper now aggressively uses rockets to search, blasting away anything between you and it until you have nowhere left to hide. Hardmode is absurdly difficult, you have been warned...

Confusingly, everything works after copying the mod directly from steam. The landmines still crash for whatever reason. Damn it this mod is challenging when everything works correctly. Well done. I don't know what's different. Both Windows and the checksum checker built into 7zip says its the EXACT same file... I'm so confused.

Yes. I have concluded that this game hates me as much as I hate it. More probably.

Have you tried reinstalling the game and playing completely clean with no debug hooks or mods?

My mod simply debugprints the level.alarmtimer value. The other scripts I put in a "Script loaded" message. I got no messages, the scripts are not loading. I have had problems in the past where the game completely refused to load certain scripts. I don't know why, but it seems that's what is happening here. The script files look fine, Notepad++ says there's no errors, so maybe that's another thing I need to add to my review "the game selectively refuses certain scripts"

This mission uses a fork of heist.lua that allows for custom alarm music and disabling the timer, sounds like the heist script is being completely overridden by your timer mod. Try disabling it and see if the mission works as intended.

I wrote one that displays the alarm timer, but that's it. The helicopter just doesn't exist, and nothing happens when the alarm triggers, except the boxes flash differently. Alarm timer stuck at 60, it doesn't count down.
