I have Darkloader but I don't know where the version number is.
I'm playing an fm called Heartcliff Islands and it says I need the new dark.
If my darkloader is an older version, do I just download the new dark to Thief2 and then unzip it in that same Thief2 folder?

New Dark is a patch for the Thief games while Darkloader is a fan mission loader. To install the latest version of New Dark, just download Tafferpatcher and run it. You should find it in one of the sticky threads in this subforum.
I don't think you have an old version of Darkloader, Darkloader hasn't been updated for a while.

What he said, Darkloader and New Dark are not at all the same thing, and you definitely need to update NewDark, and also probably start using FMSel to load missions instead of Darkloader anyway. But in case you or anyone else ever does need to know the version number of Darkloader, it tells you on the splash screen when it launches, and is in the upper left corner of the title bar after it opens, right after the app name.

Ah well I'm not at all embarrassed!:erg:
Thank you both for the info. I haven't played in quite a while so I guess I need to get updated. :DD
I have Tafferpatcher already. I updated it last week so I have it already right?

Yep, assuming you were using the latest Tafferpatcher when you did that, you should be running NewDark 1.23 and thus Heartcliff Islands will be happy. If you're on an earlier version for some reason, you'll probably get an error message telling you to update.
