If someone doesn't know what FAQ stands for then it won't matter that this thread has an attention grabbing red title :p

Are you sure that you are not falling into a solid brush or have you tried this
If you are running Thief 2 you should remove the semicolon (;) from the line ;safe_texture_manager in the file user.cfg which you should open with Notepad.

I need direction from one of the Dark Loader experts. I can play any Thief II in or out of Dark Loader or any Thief II FM, no problem. I can play Thief Gold in or out of Dark Loader, but when I try to play any of the Thief Gold FM's that I've down loaded and played before I get an error that tries to send the problem to Micro Soft, like they would be any help. I've down Loaded Dark Loader v4.1 and reinstalled over the old version but still have the same old problem. Anyone have a similar situation in the past? Thanks in advance.

this thread is for faq development and announcing new tutorials and resources for including in the faq, your question is most appropriate in the fan mission forum.

26. Why doesn't DromEd display my book text?
Posted by Nameless_voice:
Custom book texts will not be displayed if there is no Strings folder in your Thief path, so make sure to have one at all times, even if it is empty.

I don't really get what that means...can someone elaborate, please?

ok, he's talking about if you make text for a book, you need to have a folder called "strings" in your thief "path", or folder. The text itself is a type of file that you would put into the strings file so the book would work.(i think) Its been a long time since i've done anything with thief so im rusty on my knoweldge of this stuff, but i hope that answers your question.

When you create the .str file that contains the text to be displayed in a book, that file belongs in the Thief2\books folder (possibly Thief2\books\english - or any other supported language), yet you also need to have a Thief2\strings folder (even if it's empty) for the text to actually be displayed.
sNeaksieGarrett on 17/6/2005 at 15:42
yes, thats it, the str file. ;) Thanx R Soul, nice save. :)

Of course, your strings folder won't be empty once you package up for Darkloader... if you want it to work, that is.
