i downloaded fan missions for T2 1.18 and installed via darkloader 4.3.1, when try to play just black screen except the brightness icon is shown but everything is black. game isnt frozen as i can esc and exit mission.
am i doing something wrong? the FM i downloaded is here "https://drive.google.com/file/d/0By0GziqOqSb6b2ZRT29ZYm05dlk/view" and it is definitely for T2 metal age.
pls help!

Stop using Darkloader! It is depreciated. Next thing you'll be telling us is that you are using version 1.18. Stop that! Get the latest NewDark. Period. And either use FMSel, which comes with NewDark or download (

Sorry, but if you insist on using outdated tools, you'll get no help here.
And by the way, TTLG does have a (

thanks for the info, i didn't know darkloader is out dated.
btw, i have 1.18 is reason because thief multiplayer, would this new darkloder work?

i agree with Larry here, stop using darkloader and old dark.
if you want to still use 1.18 because of " multiplayer" I would suggest making a new install for playing all those wonderfull new fm's ( and ofcourse old ones;) ) and keep the old install for your multiuplayer
but about your problem: I had that when I was trying to play a mission with not the right .fam file

thanks for help. it really is a shame multiplayer stuck on 1.18, it makes it very interesting to be able to play together especially on some new FM i saw they are extremely well made. like blackfrog campaign, or mystic heart i saw on youtube.
about the .fam file i did browse through the .zip file and i think i saw it there. but i thought if i click install with darkloader it'll install everything. anyway i'll try the new darkloader tonight and hope it works on 1.18.

so i tested new dark loader couldnt get it to work for some reason. looks like im missing cam_ini file or something i tried following instruction and no luck. the file doesnt come with thief MA by default.
however i did ask the mission maker and this is their response:
"Darkloader expects a complete FM package, whereas what I gave you are just mis and the gamesys file. You'll need to extract all the res files from TDP and TMA into the thief folder and load the mission files through dromed. I HIGHLY recommend you create a new T2 installation folder to do this (you can just make a copy of the thief 2 folder)."
any idea what they mean and how i should proceed?

NewDarkLoader only works with 1.19 and above (1.25 is the current version of T2). As for that FM, there's no reason why the author cannot add the files needed to make it play like any other FM (strings folder etc).

What is going on with the contents of that zip file in the OP? It has some original stuff, plus a whole bunch of files from the standard T2 install that aren't necessary in any FM archive.
And I'm guessing nightshifter meant to say ".gam" file.

indeed, that was .gam file:o
