This mission campaign sounds amazing. I downloaded it, watched the intro, and after the prologue mission boots up, when guy says "Something strange is going on, be extra careful" and Garrett replies "Could you possibly be any more helpful" THE SCREEN IS JUST BLACK. I see my HUD (with the health bars and shadow meter) but that's it. I hear the wind blowing but nothing is visible.

ANY HELP??

Thanks!

You are in wrong place, (http://www.ttlg.com/forums/showthread.php?t=133145&highlight=bathory+campaign) this is the right campaign thread.
I've never heard a problem like this :confused: . Which version you have? Version 3 is for New Dark, try to install with FMSelector.

Okay, at the beginning of this mission is a text "this mission uses Telliamed 1.5.2 and Gaylesaver´2 1.2.0 custom scripts. If you see this message please install these files"

I found the files in the FMs file but there´s only an install for Telliamed (Quickinstall), there´s no such thing for Gaylesaver. And where the hell do I have to install them? In the Thief 2 main folder?

You really should put a little bit more detailed explanation for stuff like that in the future. Not everyone is that well advised in technical stuff :rolleyes:

Sensut released an updated campaign which you should , play not the individual mission. Should solve that old script message.

By the way, both scripts are present in the FM archive for this mission (well, at least in the .zip file on my backup & storage hard disk), and they should (in theory) be put in the game's main folder for the scripts to work. Back at the time when this was released, there was only old DarkLoader available to play FMs, and it would have done that automatically.

With the new loaders, things are different, but on the other hand, it has become more and more common to put these scripts (or rather, newer versions of them) into the game's main folder regardless of any mission. If I read the first post in the T2Fix thread correctly, T2Fix actually does that. Most likely, many people already have up-to-date versions of these scripts in their Thief 2 folder.

Thus, neither in the old days of Thief 2 without NewDark, nor in current times with NewDark, should it be common that one has to install these scripts. There are only a few rare exceptions from this, e.g., if you update your Thief 2 installation manually with the pure NewDark patches instead of using T2Fix (or TafferPatcher a few years back).

Well honestly, I would not mind at all to have to install additional stuff for a mission to work, but there has to be at least a proper instruction on how to do it and especially for where to install it. Not just "go and install that and that" :rolleyes:
