Can't frob some things in Broken Triad

check thief2.log, a script load failure should be noted there.

that definitely looks like the old script lurking somewhere. I'd sweep the entire game folder for osms and delete any outdated instances of NVscript.

Newer versions of NVScript do tend to behave better, but I've seen this plenty of times before too, where Dark just randomly does or doesn't load it successfully.

I have Windows 10 and have never had any problems with NVScript, so it's odd that it would be fine for me but not for you. Make sure your T2 folder is added to your antivirus exceptions list in case something is interfering with it.

it would be interesting to see thief2.log from a broken session.

Actually this has just happened to me! At the very start I didn't see the 'hammer' effect, so I knew something was odd. I skipped to the next mission and couldn't get past the black screen either. My log file shows no tnhScript error, but I am getting an error for script.osm, same code.

What's odd is that I was playing this FM quite well only a few months ago.

edit: For my own problem I found that a later version of script.osm was needed. That's in this package:
(http://www.thiefmissions.com/telliamed/pubscripts21-pre1.zip) (I haven't tried the installation program, but you can extract script-t2.osm and rename it to script.osm before putting it in the BrokenTriad's folder*)
The latest version of tnhScript is here:
(http://www.thiefmissions.com/telliamed/tnhscript21.zip) (again, put the osm in your Broken Triad folder*).

*Or your main T2 folder and delete the old osms from FMs\BrokenTriad1_0

If they work, you should add them to the original zip file so you get them the next time the FM is installed. Or delete them from the zip so the FM will use whatever's in your main T2 folder.

check file properties on the failing scripts, there might be something like "this file came from a different computer and might be blocked, unblock?". they are all out of date as well, update to the latest versions. also, very sure that's not the last version of pubscript (TFix and SS2tool install the latest one), but the final release is so well hidden that I can't actually find it at the moment. //(http://whoopdedo.org/projects.php?scripts#PublicScripts) there you are you sneaky little thing.
