All my farting around trying to get my busted T2 disc one to install for the 6th time, finally paid off and T2 works.
That's not why I am moaning. For when it comes to Thief; with great joy, always comes great pain-in-the-ass-ness.....
For the second time, the bast**d T2 uninstall has removed folders with the same name on other drives !!! Namely my USB, which was still in when I did an uninstall from c:\thief2, it also took out f:\thief2 ! Grrrrrrrr I should have learned !
Last time it cost me a fan mission I was making, and this time it has left my Werewolf mission BUT deleted the Gamesys and all the custom textures and objects / AI - which amounts to the same thing really. Just a mission full of Jorge and floaty prisms.
I expect people will say 'T2 uninstall doesn't do THAT'.
Well it must have done, I didn't sit there watching Windows Explorer delete a 560mb of data and not try to stop it. That it removed the FAM, OBJ BOOK and other T2 folders and just left the root files of f:\thief2 convinces me that it was the uninstall.

That sucks. I only just got TDS/T3Ed working after an uninstall/reinstall that turned into a cluster-taff.:eww:
Hopefully a rename or secondary install with a different name will prevent that from happening in the future. Of course, you didn't say anything about disconnecting the second drive or having an archived copy.:erm: ;)
But you say it's working now? Congrats!:cool:
