Returning to the game-- help?

Tobey on 21/10/2020 at 14:42

Hello everyone!
I'm returning to Thief 2 for the first time in years, and I have forgotten how to download Thief 2X, how to upgrade Thief 2 and how to mod it. I remember there being a massive bugfix you're supposed to download to fix all the glitches, and also a mod menu/organizer, but that's about it.
Also, I've forgotten where to download mods like The Ominous Bequest, Thief 2X, Calendra's Legacy and Thieves's Highway-- I don't suppose any of you could direct me that way?
Thank you, everyone!

Id recommend buying the games from GOG.com (steam works too, but it's a little more of a nuisance, IMO).

Patch them up with tfix (use the appropriate Tfix, depending on whether you're firing up t1 or T2). This will include all the patches you need to play.

For FMs I recommend using angel loader, as it handles t1 and T2 missions without need for separate fm directories. You can download missions at southquarter or taffersparadise.

I'm reinstalling all my Thief 2 games and mods, and T2X is being a pain as usual. When I launch it, it tells me, "Your video hardware is not supported or no supported video mode was found."
How do I deal with this?
Thank you!

Can we merge this thread with (https://www.ttlg.com/forums/showthread.php?t=150859) Tobey's thread from three days ago, also on reinstalling the game and getting fan missions to run?

Sorry about that, I didn't mean to spam the forum.

Please do search for existing threads about a mission and post there for help, when possible. There is no issue with resurrecting even very old threads to add a comment or a question here. :) I'll merge this with the existing thread.

Is this still an open question? If so, are you using (https://darkfate.org/view/download/39598) Ricebug's FMSel-ready version? Also, if you haven't already been pointed in that direction, the (https://www.ttlg.com/forums/showthread.php?t=139559) Links thread has a lot of useful information.
