I suppose it would be too much to hope for if someone from the francophone fan forums contacted Le Corbeau and asked him/her whether T2MP could get a potential NewDark reworking ? :erg: :confused:
Just to give the people here at TTLG an idea of whether it's doable at this point.

how do i get fan mission to start with MP? i read the readme for MP 218 version and this is what it says:
"To load an existing multiplayer save or play a fan mission, select “None” for the starting mission. You will remain on the main menu after hosting the server, and can choose to load a save, or select New Game to play a fan mission that has been installed with DarkLoader or a similar utility."
so my understanding is that once i start game, alt tab to MP window, host and option dropdown menu for starting mission, i choose "none" instead of "mission 1-15" or "saved game". however None isn't an option in the dropdown menu, there is no "none".
can anyone please help i am dying to try some FM in multiplayer.

If memory serves, which it probably doesn't: I thought you could pick the fan mission within the drop down. First question though, did you make sure you installed your fan mission before launching t2mp? Secondly, did you check to see if the FM was listed in the drop down instead of none?

ah i havent try that. so i need to install it with darkloader, then launch the MP and host, then menu drop down will have the none option?

yes, the fan mission needs to be installed already. T2MP cannot detect FMs itself. If you have a thief 2 1.18 install with t2mp and darkloader set up to that directory, then just install an FM through darkloader and when you next launch t2mp, you can alt tab out and should be able to host with the FM.

ok so heres my findings after trying few more things.
-if i install the fm with darkloader, run thief via darkloader, it goes to the blackscreen issue.
-if i install the fm with darkloader, run thief via darkloader, then go to multiplayer window and start mission 1, samething blackscreen issue but with additional error window poped up lol.
both methods will not show FM or option "none" in the drop down menu for starting mission. i have heard people saying .fam is not loaded or incorrect, or to use the new darkloader so i'll be trying that.

Mission 1? By that do you mean thief 2 mission, Running Interference? I think when you install an FM, it breaks thief's ability to play from mission 1 but I could be wrong about this.
Does sound like either something is not set up properly or you are having a compatibility issue. Are you able to load thief 2 and go to a mission when you use darkloader to return thief to its original state?
And crazy thought, have you tried loading thief after installing an FM through the exe or a shortcut, instead of hitting "play thief" within darkloader?
EDIT:
I just tried loading a thief install with an FM installed and when I go to the host screen, I see the mission selected. (See screenshot for reference below) In fact, it's the only item within the list. What do you see when you go to the host screen?

Does it work for you guys? I can start server on my PC, but the client cannot join in LAN (every other game is work on LAN in MP except this.
When the laptop is the client it says: Join failed: COM initialization failed (80040154) >>> PC doesn't get any error
When laptop is the server: Host Failed: COM initialization failed (80070005) >>> PC cannot join of course.
Server browser doesn't work. Tried to join with LAN and the with the normal IP address (port 5198 is forwarded)
Single Player works perfect. Same game, same files. I tried to reinstall the MP patch, but nothing changed. Any help would be great, I would like to play it with my child in LAN.
