Hi all,
I wanna thank TOS and whoever may have helped him,
and also all of those who are creating really fun missions. it's such a great game.
Me and a friend of mine are having a lot of fun with this, the only big problem is with the client and elevators..
has anyone found a way to solve this?
sometimes we can /summon ladders and go on with the mission, but sometimes the elevator is just blocking the way

Not sure how to take that.
I wasn't referring to yourself. I wish there was more openness about this, as it's been more of a club in practice, and many inquiries have gone ignored. On every board where there are people making things, there are others who are not just grateful and eager for more, but demanding and wanting a complete work right away, and even presume laziness and all the time in the world upon the volunteer creator. Again, I say, I wasn't referring to yourself. If you feel pangs of guilt, I won't apologize for that, but if you feel wrongly accused, I will, so, sorry. You are one of a very few who try to keep things I care about alive.

thanks jtr7. I wasn't clear if you were attacking me in a round-about way or not. That's why I said I wasn't sure how to take that post.;)
Yeah, thief has obviously been a part of my life for at least the past decade now. It's great to see so many fan missions being made for it 10+ years later, and then something even more awesome arrives with the 1.19 patch.

What do you mean? Did you forget about my previous post that explained the situation?

Does version 218 work with the steam thief 2?
V. 215 works fine but with 218 it crashes when trying to host a game.
Here's the crash log (

Any updates?
Ok, so if I've gotta use 1.18 for now to play MP, I'll just go the simple route and do an entirely fresh, separate install. However, I notice that the patch says everyone's gotta have the exact same stuff installed for it to work. So, what's everyone using nowadays and/or not using? Vanilla 1.18 and nothing else beyond the MP patch, or should I add anything?

The files that need to be the same are mission critical, such as gen.osm, convict.osm, and the .mis file that is being used. (I think, at least that was my understanding from Tos a long time ago.)
Also, kurgan, please read the last few posts related to Albert and myself. That is the latest news thus far.

Hey folks, I posted this in the DDfix thread but I figured I could post it here as well as it seems relevant.
Been looking through the related topics last couple of days but didn't find anyone with this issue.
I installed the Steam version of Thief 2 on Windows 7. This didn't work (running but with black screen) until I updated to the latest DDfix, problem solved.
I then installed the multiplayer mod, replacing the Thief2.exe in the process.
This means DDfix was no longer valid as the multiplayer Thief2.exe had not been updated (back to black screens again).
I then used a hexeditor to replace the first instance of ddraw.dll with ddfix.dll in the exe.
This appears to make the exe invalid - When I run it, the multiplayer window runs but the game instantly crashes ("Thief 2 has stopped working - Windows can check online for a solution etc.")
Any ideas or suggestion would be much appreciated.
Regards,
Nevik.

Gotta admit, I know nothing about the multiplayer patch, I've never used it and don't really plan to.
However - just the simple fact that you've mentioned DDfix means you might be unaware of new(
