I haven't been able to get this to work either. Starting the FM actually made my Thief Gold directory disappear. It moved it to a "history folder" on the C drive. All my Thief Games and Darkloader are in one directory on the my Hard drive separate from the rest of my operating system. I haven't had any problems until now. Why trying to run this version would start moving files all around makes no sense to me.

No problems at all running this mission since I've given up on using DarkLoader and now under Fmsel everything is ok.
But this reworked mission is pretty dark and there are places where it turns nearly to black.

Can't wait to play this...:)

After changing the type to '1' in the .ini file, I fired up DarkLoader and pressed PLAY. FMSel opened up when I did that. From there, I launched the mission and it ran fine.

I noticed this gate is down, with stairs behind it leading up. A switch at top of stairs.
How do I get in there?
I do not remember how, been so long since playing this fm. Playing now on expert. Missed those jack o' lanterns.

There's a balcony not far from there. Rope arrow you are gonna need. Wood above your head, shoot and be lucky once you are in.

Concerning the idea to patch Darkloader... I don't think this will happen.

Good luck finding someone with a Delphi 3 compiler and the knowledge how to identify the game type properly, which would actually be the hardest part, I guess.
Actually, it looks like this someone would have to develop a
new method in order to determine the game type, as far as I can tell. I've looked a bit at the source code one can install with Darkloader, and apparently, Darkloader searches all .mis files for certain text strings ("SKYOBJVAR" and "MAPPARAM") which are present in T2 missions, but not in T1 missions. Unfortunately, these strings are present in all NewDark missions, regardless of whether these are for T1 NewDark or T2 NewDark.
I guess it's better to get used to FMSel instead.

For some reason I can't frob the lever at Garrett's house, even though I unlocked the lock with the key. I right click on the lever but nothing happens, no matter if the lock is unlocked or locked...

If you accidentally use the key on the lever instead of the lock, this can happen (I know -- it's odd). I don't know if this is what has happened in your case, but if you have a save from before the point when you tried unlocking it, reload that save and make sure you use the key on the lock rather than the lever right next to it. :sweat:
