Hello Taffers I am replaying the original missions and had no problems with any weapons or gear until Kidnap I don't have any weapons or gear other than lockpicks that don't work.
I am using Angelloader. I picked up some water arrows but they go into inventory and are not useable??? I skipped to the next mission and all is fine again??
Maybe that mission got corrupted I will try to replace it. Any Ideas will be appreciared!!

PS if this needs to be moved feel free.

Are you doing this by just playing the game normally (e.g. the Play Game without FM button) or do you have some OM collection where each one is standalone like a fan mission? If the latter, you need to do the former.

In Angelloader Im using the play original button.
Every mission except Kidnap works fine.
I reinstalled T2fix 127e but same result.

Did you skip the previous mission? I seem to recall Kidnap carries over your inventory from Precious Cargo?
pwl on 12/5/2023 at 14:01
No I finished Cargo completely. But I used the cheat to get more arrows at the beginning of Cargo I wonder if the amount of those exceeded what could be carried over?? I will start Cargo over to see if that works.
Thanks for the comments

I replayed Cargo mission from start with stock items and when Kidnap starts I got the same results no weapons and only lockpicks that don't work??? When I pickup water and moss arrows they show up in inventory. Also when I approach the first building where Garrett says I'm back in the lost city. During this playthrough he says nothing.
I reinstalled T2Fix 127e before this thinking something was corrupt.
EDIT: Ok I used FMselect to play and used level skip to get to Kidnap and everything is working all weapons and inventory??? Some how my Angelloader install is the reason?

Do you have mods disabled through AngelLoader for the original game?
I just tested with all mods enabled, skipped to Kidnap, everything appeared to work properly. Was able to select water arrows. Then I disabled all mods - including the important ones that should not normally be disabled - skipped to Kidnap again, and now I couldn't select my water arrows (or didn't have any).
Specifically, you should not have the "OSM" mod disabled.
At the very least the mod "OSM" should appear in your cam_mod.ini like: "uber_mod_path OSM", if you installed T2Fix. But if FMSel works then I imagine mods are correctly enabled in cam_mod.ini and might be disabled in AngelLoader.
To see the enabled mods for Thief 2, click Play without FM... -> Settings -> Thief 2... (or, if you have the original games as multiple buttons, right click on the Thief 2 button). You should click "Show important mods" and then "Enable all" to make sure they're all enabled. And make sure the Disabled Mods textbox doesn't just have "*" in it either, as that will also disable all of them. If you actually do want to disable some, just make sure you don't disable "OSM" or any mods highlighted in red that show up when "Show important mods" is checked.

Thanks Fen I will try it soon.
Update: Fen I disabled all mods except OSM didn't work disabled all including OSM didn't work finally enabled all and didn't work?? I reloaded Cargo each time everything works but Kidnap doesn't and skipped to Casing the joint and everything works??

Hey Fen I also loaded Thief2 straight from Win Explorer with Thief2.exe and Kidnap still doesn't work Cargo and Casing both work??
I have another complete install on another drive that I used for the FMSelect I can try those files.

Update: I deleted all files and folders from suspect drive and copied known good install. Opened Angelloader and launched Kidnap and my Norton saw miss15.osm as a threat and deleted it. I restored the file and now Kidnap is working through Angelloader. I don't remember seeing that threat notice about the file before???
