Fixed missions + upgraded Newdark Lootlists for all the T2 missions 2000-2007 WIPAll my walks and Lootlists can now be found in the OP of the (

Important FMdml package(
https://www.ttlg.com/forums/showthread.php?t=149669) T2Fix is now available with FMdml package installed as an optional component. FMdml once installed automatically fixes 327 missions up to and including all missions from 2000-2008. Just check the Thief 2 FM Fixes box when installing T2Fix and your good to go.
FMdml package fixes many broken objectives, secrets that do not work, missing loot, misplaced objects, AI placements and other Newdark bugs. Approx 30% of missions needed fixing, but it is more than possible that players will still find other bugs, if you do please report them as it is likely than we can include further bug fixes in future updates.
However there are a small number of missions that could not be 100% fixed via FMdml and thus require player to also manually fix one of their folders (Saints and Thieves, Ruined) and there a few missions that could not be fixed in any way and so require a complete new download (Father Hirvakia's Portal, Curiosity Shop) so please check the notes at the top of each respective lootlist for both what FMdml fixes and/or the alternative fixed solution.
IntroSince the advent of Newdark many of the older missions have missing loot, broken objectives and secrets that do not trigger. As well as that the colour of many keys are different with Newdark than they were with Olddark (ie. olddark blue keys are now metal grey). Thus the prime intention of these lootlists are to bring complete and updated information to the community, whilst at the same time fixing as many possible issues with dml's.
These lootlists are intended to be used in conjunction with Ricebug's walks as these lootlists do not include solutions to puzzles, however they sometimes give conflicting information to Ricebug's walks where I discovered errors in his walks, in addition a number of the lootlists in Ricebug's walks do not list all the loot available.
Lists include loot & keys for all difficulties, as well as objective solutions and secrets, but Easter Eggs are not revealed. They also include 100's of maps drawn by Athalle, as well as a few in-game amended maps.
T2 Fix + FMSel Do not use Tafferpatch any more, it has not been maintained for a while and T2FMdml is not included in Tafferpatch and does not work with it. Players should only patch their Thief 2 install with (

T2 Scripts bundleSome T2 missions do not work correctly if you do not have the latest scripts installed, thus players who have installed Tafferpatch are
strongly advised to patch their T2 game with (

Note: This Scripts bundle is not necessary for those players who have patched with T2Fix, as that patch contains all the latest scripts.

PS. Unna you PM box is full and I have another couple of dml request for you.
Sorry. It's always full. Deleted many PMs. :sweat:

Thank you! The tireless fortuni, always working on something for Thief's world. :thumb:
Thanks also to Unna :)

Fortuni, thank you so much for this! Your work ethic is boundless and your contributions to the community are beyond measure!

Is there a reason you are starting from scratch?
fortuni on 2/4/2018 at 08:15
Because you need to start somewhere and the early ones tend to be nice and easy to do, I can do 5-6 a day of the smaller ones, but the larger more complex missions take 2-3 days to do each.
I'm also reporting all playing issues and missing loot to Unna, so where possible a dml can be produced and it's predominately the older missions that need fixing.
nicked on 2/4/2018 at 09:33
I think he means that there's loads of existing lootlists for a lot of missions already which you wouldn't need to create, just copy.

Are you unemployed again or something? :)
Yeah, I know you're working your socks off and doing this in your spare time so my very grateful thanks for these. I'll add this to the Links thread.
Iceblade on 8/4/2018 at 07:07
Ah I gotcha. I thought Ricebug had some pretty solid guides though for these earlier years already.
Speaking of fixing, was a DML done for Shadow Business to add ambient light? It really improves that mission considerably - tough and fun for the right reasons.
Oh and are you only focusing on Thief 2 missions?
Unna Oertdottir on 8/4/2018 at 07:26
Can't change ambient light with dml. This requires optimization. I wouldn't do it anyway. It's a design decision.
