1.3.2 is ready for a look:

Main changes:
* For Windows 7 and below, controls are auto-focussed when the mouse enters (FM table, tag list, readme).
* Selecting a new FM automatically scrolls to the top of the readme. Previously, if you selected an FM and scrolled down the readme, then selected another FM, the readme would still be scrolled down.

Known issues:
* Does not work in DOS :p
* Does not support Lemmings.

A small preliminary test indicates no problems encountered.
Previously noted issues appear to be taken care of.

Ok have a bug with new version 1.32
System shock 2 no longer works with it. Thief gold,2 and 3 work fine but system shock 2 won't load up at all. If I comment out the newdarkloader in cam_mod.ini the game loads fine.
All I did was to copy the 3 files over. Can you fix this R Soul?

What was the last version that worked with SS2? I saw a post from you saying 1.2 worked fine, but I don't know if that was for SS2 or Thief only. It's a strange situation because the code for interacting with the .exe file hasn't changed since the first version. Another challenge is that I don't have SS2.

For reference, here's 1.3.1:

You only need to extract NewDarkLoader.dll to test an older version.

I use newdarkloader for all programs and yes 1.2 was the last version I had. What can we do to fix this?

R Soul on 23/9/2016 at 20:34

I think the first thing I need to know is how far do you get when you run the SS2 shortcut/exe? Does nothing happen, do you get an error message, do you see any kind of UI?

Stingm on 23/9/2016 at 22:03

I see nothing as its like it never loads at all. I may tonight try putting 1.2 back on just system shock 2 and see what happens.

Edit: Putting newdarkloader.ini 1.2 in shock2 works. So its definitely something in 1.32 that shock2 don't like. Hope this helps you figure it out. Otherwise I can just try to remember not to update shock2 in the future.
