Greetings
In some fm missions of thief gold, i can't steal loot or even worst items that are objectives.
Does anyone knows how to fix that?
Thanks

Never had this issue but it sounds like some scripts are broken. You might need a clean install.
What FM loader are you using? Is it Darkloader, perhaps? If so, try using a supported FM loader- Darkloader breaks things with some regularity.

Do you have any graphic mods installed? I know for certain that HD mod creates some issues with grabbing objects in numerous fan missions.

I used darkloader, and today im using angelLoader, but the problem is still there.

Aemanyl yes, i use hd mod. Most of fm missions runs flawlessly, but there are some that got this issues.
Any ideas how to fix that?

Well, if you used darkloader, it might already have broken your install. Try a clean install, then try AngelLoader (without mods). If it works, then try adding your mods. Hopefully it won't break, but if it does, at least you'll know what step is causing it. (I'm not sure why texture mods would affect any of that- I think they're just asset swaps).
If it's still not working with a clean install and AngelLoader, I think you'll need to give more info. What mission and which object(s)?

Ive noticed it in 2 fm missions.
The Saint of redmound, which im playing now, and i cant steal candles and statue's.
The second, one I don't remember the title, but i couldn't steal a mask, which was an objective. I think i was starting from a orison cell.
Anyway i guess i'll leave it as it is. There are too many missions anyway.
By the way what are the benefits of using angelLoader?

Well, the benefits of AngelLoader compared to DarkLoader are clear: AngelLoader doesn't break your thief install, while DarkLoader routinely does.
The benefits of AngelLoader compared to other supported alternatives (NewDarkLoader or FMSelect) are less clear. Personally, I like AngelLoader the best. One advantage is that it allows you to store you Thief 1/G and Thief 2 FMs in the same place, unlike the other two. But any of new ones work just fine. But DON'T USE DARKLOADER. It doesn't work and will cause problems.

I see, i'll be using angelLoader from now on.
Thanks for the information and your time.

Hi again, the problem appears more and more often.
Can you please explain me the "clean install" and how to run it without mods?
Sorry for asking, im not very familiar with these stuff.
I remember following instructions to install the mods.
Do I have to re- install the game?
