Edit:The only thing that changed was having to format and reinstall windows 10 and stuff.
What impact could such a minor thing possibly have caused?
..and stuff.

To enable just-in-time (JIT) debugging, the .config file for this

Edit: I tried removing that fan mission from last time that caused it. Arboretum and it still fails. I left Log=1 there.

It's reporting that your archive path is blank. When that's the case NDL is supposed to show the Setup window to make you choose. Edit the ini file again and see if ArchiveRoot is set to your fm zip file location.
Stingm on 4/7/2017 at 00:04
Well you won't believe this but I got it to work. For whatever reason it didn't like the fms folder. I created a folder called fan missions instead of fms and cut and pasted everything but the ini and log files over. Should I leave those files in fms or move them too?

Hey R Soul
I’m a long time DarkLoader user and I’m in the process of remastering one of my old Thief 1 FMs with NewDark.
Therefore, I installed and tested my FM with the FMSelect and with NewDarkLoader.
The translation team told me, that NDL showed them the wrong info file.
I have 4 file (standardInfo.txt, FMInfo-De.rtf, FMInfo-En.rtf, FMInfo-Fr.rtf)
So, I tested it myself with NDL 1.5 and I can choose one of the 4 files. But if I select a different FM before choosing anything, NDL will choose automatically the standardInfo.txt for me, without me doing anything. The testers told me, that they immediately saw the FMInfo-De.rtf without any drop-down menu to choose from (and they don't understand German at all).
Is this a known problem? I read that before version 1.5 there wasn’t even a drop-down menu to choose a specific file. Also, is it possible to change the file after you choose one? (or NDL choose the wrong one for you)
The NDL looks great. Really good job with integrating the FMSelect into it, but the language file thing bothers me if some thief players get the wrong language file. Can’t this be tied to the selected language like in the old DarkLoader?
Best regards
R Soul on 17/7/2017 at 23:27
Until 1.4.8, NDL would have chosen the first rtf file, or if none existed, the first text file, and saved the filename in NewDarkLoader.ini. Upon selecting that FM subsequently, NDL will use the value from the ini file.
The selected filename is saved in NewDarkLoader.ini. As long as that value exists, NDL shows that readme. It can be changed by right clicking the FM and selecting Edit FM Details.
I've run a brief test and found some odd behaviour. Try this version:

http://www.mediafire.com/file/gnm4try1tqe1k7y/NewDarkLoader1.5.2.zip)
StingmI'm still not sure about the problem you had. Can you tell me your exact folder structures for NDL and your FM archive and installed FMs folders?
DarkThief Darek on 18/7/2017 at 12:24
I can’t see any changes in Version 1.5.2.
The drop down will not appear if there is only one FM in the folder. It chooses automatically the .txt file (but I guess you know about that issue already)
If I have multiple FMs I can choose the readme in a drop-down menu, but when I change to another FMs without choosing a file, the NDL chooses automatically the .txt file.
The .txt file contains all 3 languages, so it’s a good compromise if everyone would get it as the standard readme file. Is this the default in version >1.4.8?
The problem I see is that some players will still have the NDL version 1.4.8 or lower, so they will always see the German .rtf readme file. Is there something I can do about it to prevent that for NDL users with an old version?
Overall, the best solution would be to pick the right .rtf file based on the language settings made in the setup menu. If it is not presented in that language than pick the FMInfo-En.rtf or .txt file. That would be the less confusing option for the normal player. Or at least make the “change readme file” option more visible with an additional button under “Toggle Full Screen Readme”.
@Stingm problem:
I get the same problem like him, if I choose the standard “FMs” folder generated from TFix_1.24b.exe
I made a clean Thief 1 installation from CD, patched it with TFix, extracted the NDL zip file into the main folder and changed the launch option for the thief.exe. When I type the path to /FMs in the NDL setup I get those exceptions too.
Maybe it’s a T1/TG and whatever patch for shock2 problem only? Maybe everything works as intended for T2 and Tafferpatcher.

Just my $0.02, but I wouldn't worry about what happens to people who don't keep their software up to date, beyond a note in your announcement thread that they need the latest NDL in order to see the correct readme.

Possibly related to me uploading the wrong version. :o
Try this:
(
http://www.mediafire.com/file/48l1w112dlhuh7m/NewDarkLoader1.5.2.zip)
Before running NDL, remember to open NewDarkLoader.ini and remove the InfoFile entry for your fan mission (or the entire section for it).
I've tried it with own TG and T2 installations (TG modified by TFix, T2 made with Tafferpatcher), both with a dummy FM with readmes with the same filenames you chose, and a couple of token mission files. In both cases I see a choice of readmes, with my choice being remembered the next time I try.
My TG folder is C:\Games\ThiefG
My FM Archive Folder (where downloaded FM zip files are stored) is C:\Games\TGFMs
I've used the default installed FMs folder (for me that's C:\games\ThiefG\FMs) and a custom one (C:\Games\InstTGFMs) and not had any problems. The 'installed FMs' folder is where NewDarkLoader.ini is stored.
Give the real 1.5.2 a try, and if you still have problems, enable logging and post the contents of the log file (see (

Stingm on 18/7/2017 at 23:29
My file structure is the same as yours. With just the change for shock 2 that worked. I will get 1.52 though. Can I move the files or just leave them where they are??
