Albert, look in your new \doc folder, there's a PDF in there that looks like an instruction manual for a built-in FM loader. I haven't tried that yet, or Darkloader, I only just now got T2 working and managed to play through Interference for a few minutes. Now that's working, I'm going to try out the new editor.
Edit: Looks like you found that doc. As folks figure out how to use it, I'm sure they'll help out.

So, I installed a fresh copy of T2 using the GOG installer. Then I installed the new dark engine stuff by unzipping new_dark.zip and contrib.zip over the fresh copy I just installed. Then I ran darkloader, told it where to find the install I just made, asked it to install an FM (Disorientation, as it happens) and hit Play. Everything ran just fine.
So, yes, darkloader appears to work just fine with the new engine.

Well that's a relief! Albert, maybe you need to start with a fresh installation of Darkloader and point it to your new install folder? or a clean T2 install from the start if you didn't before.

I can confirm that Darkloader 4.3 works. Just installed Mission X and oh does it look sweet. And it runs smoother than ever!
It even removed the rainbow lines with antialiasing that always bugged me.

Just ran the Thief demo and everything looks very clean, especially the lighting; less harsh and better defined, especially in Baffy's sewerway. And the missions also make use of Jermi's (I think) wonderful skies for T2. I took a trip to Bafford's rooftops to admire the view. :sly:

I downloaded updated demo of Thief 1...and it works.I noticed that demo has the same Thief 2 exe...i`m trying to run TG with old exe...that is what i`m doing wrong?
Thief 2.exe has to be renamed if its going to work with TG?

@Albert
But i tried new Thief2.exe..after that i renamed to thief.exe...both not worked.Grrr i want to play TG so badly with this patch.
Albert what do you do with exe file? You renamed file or something?

I can as well, after loading several FM's...I also did a clean install of both T2 and Darkloader before applying the 1.19 patch.

That was my experience. The lighting is definitely superior, providing a soft, clear, cohesive definition...offering a subtle, beautiful enhancement of The World...:angel:

It works! I copied cam.cfg of Thief demo to TG folder and game is working! Time to play. :)
