Try making a second, clean install of Thief Gold, and then try using FMSel in that to load your mission. That should work; if it does, you can compare the files in each install to see what's different. Probably something in one of your .cfg files is wrong, but I can't really tell what from here.
Edit: Oh, one thought: you were using DarkLoader before, so have you chosen the original missions again in DarkLoader, to (maybe, hopefully) put your Thief install back to vanilla?

Yeah, in darkloader i set it to vanilla. I'll try it with fresh 2nd thief installation then
EDIT: haha... its exactly the same, i installed fresh thief 1 and newdark, launched my zip through fmselect, vanilla thief 1 starts anyway

Interesting. I had manually unzipped the mission without thinking about it, but have just tried again with the zip—and a different Thief Gold directory cause I have too many of them!—and I'm getting the original missions too now. That's progress: I'm seeing the same problem now! :) I'll dig into the differences here and see what could be causing it.
Edit: Found it! The problem is your zip has the "mtk anni map ALPHA" folder inside it, and your mission files are all inside there. They should all instead be at the top level of the zip.
(When I manually unzipped I just went right into that folder and copied the files out without even noticing it!)
