Stuck at the TNT - Afosick - 05-20-2007

Hello,

Spoiler below!
I have a problem with the TNT, I have the Fuse (Yes, I soaked it with Baxtrine and used it on the gunpowder) and the Zippo lighter with fuel.
I have also put the TNT Barrel in the hole of the caved in tunnel that has to be blown up. Now when I try to use the fuse on the barrel it says "I don't want to risk this thing going off before I'm ready". I've been trying different things for a long time now (repositioning the barrel, reloading an old savegame and replay the whole area), but without succes, and I'm clueless now.

A few screenshots:

The TNT Barrel with the error message: http://img503.imageshack.us/img503/3360/tntdg2.jpg

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

that probably is it. and weather it is or not, you will know when the TNT is set right when the game pretty much automatically sets it in place for you.
It makes sense what he is saying, about the explosives manual, indicating you having some knowledge in explosives now.

Did you put the string onto the barrel?
Double click on the finished string
Now with the icon of the string, click on the barrel of explosives.
