I've been late getting on to using it but am glad I did. Thanks very much R Soul!

It seems that I never uploaded 1.4.10, which tweaked the readme system, but now it's time to release 1.4.11, which has a minor tweak to the mp3 conversion (the message now only shows if there are any mp3 files).
edit:
I made a new addition, for Dromeders, so I've re-uploaded and now it's version 1.5:

Hey, I've recently been having a problem with NewDarkLoader 1.5 and it only happens on Thief 2.
For some reason, the program doesn't want to launch. I checked the Task Manager and it clearly shows thief2.exe in the processes tab, but it closes itself after a few seconds. I tried doing everything to fix it. I ran it as an admin, I did a clean boot (couldn't trace the problem), I messed with the cmd, I reinstalled NDL, etc. but it's still not working. The weird thing is that FMSel works perfectly fine. It only seems to be NDL that's having this issue.
Are there any solutions for it?

There might be something in one of your FMs that's causing a problem. Try moving half your FMs into another folder and running NDL again. If it still has trouble, put them back and move the other half.

It turned out to be the 'Finals at the Academy' mission folder that was causing the problem. I decided to delete it and now NDL works. Thanks for the help.

That's strange. I have that on my PC too, but it doesn't cause any problems. I tried deleting the archive so it was a 'folder only' FM, and removing the ini entry, but still no crash.

Ok 1.5 won't work with shock 2. Here's the error:

************** JIT Debugging **************
To enable just-in-time (JIT) debugging, the .config file for this
application or computer (machine.config) must have the
jitDebugging value set in the system.windows.forms section.
The application must also be compiled with debugging
enabled.
For example:
<configuration>
<system.windows.forms jitDebugging="true" />
</configuration>
When JIT debugging is enabled, any unhandled exception
will be sent to the JIT debugger registered on the computer
rather than be handled by this dialog box.
I hope you can fix this?
Edit: I looked through some previous posts and remembered the error I had in the beginning and they appear to be the same. I'm not a programmer but the error has the same information as the date display issue from before. Could it have come back or do all errors have the same basic information?

It could be a problem with a specific FM, so I'll need a download link for it. That last time you had this problem it was because of an HTML readme.
Stingm on 2/7/2017 at 15:47
There is no ndlog.txt file...or is it another now??
Edit: The fan missions are the same as well. The only thing that changed was having to format and reinstall windows 10 and stuff.

I removed the logging feature because I didn't want to add yet another file to the user's game folder. I've now re-added it but you have to turn it on with a
Log=1 entry in the [Config] section of NewDarkLoader.ini.
Download link for new version:

(only NewDarkLoader.dll needs to be extracted if any previous versions have already been installed).
