T2FMDML: A Collection of NewDark Thief 2 FM Fixes

Jax64 on 22/7/2019 at 23:16

As a result of the many reports of particular fan missions exhibiting issues in a NewDark environment, there have been efforts to improve compatibility with these missions; however, the manner in which these fixes are presented can make it difficult for average users to correctly apply them.

T2FMDML is a collection of both preexisting and entirely new fixes for many Thief 2 fan missions that have compatibility issues with NewDark and other problems. It is currently included in the latest release of (https://www.ttlg.com/forums/showthread.php?t=149669) T2Fix, but can also be obtained in a standalone form here if so desired. This archive was complied through the combined efforts of members fortuni, Glypher, Unna Oertdottir, and myself following a (https://www.ttlg.com/forums/showthread.php?t=149679) discussion on the matter and vital work by member voodoo47.

These fixes require NewDark 1.27 or newer and the latest versions of NVScript, the Public Scripts, and tnhScript to properly function. This package will continue to be updated as new fixes surface.

T2FMDML currently addresses issues in the following fan missions and campaigns:

Excellent work. I'd long ago accepted that many older missions were just not going to work correctly ever again, but yet here we are!

Athalle on 23/7/2019 at 22:17

Thank you so much for all the efforts you've put in this project :thumb:

Bosh on 24/7/2019 at 08:52

Amazing work guys - I am one of those who did struggle a bit trying to work out what to do, so all this now being part of T2Fix is a godsend.

itllrun10s on 25/7/2019 at 20:42

Thanks to each of you for your work. This is great and much appreciated!

bigalexjones66 on 30/7/2019 at 07:16

Could you please tell how to install using thief 2 fan mission selector? When i install a mission the gam.dml does not show in the FMs folder example C:\games 1\Thief 2\FMs\bathhouse.

thanks

You do not install using FM selector, placing in FMs folder or any other thief folder (unless manually installing).

FMdml is a package that is now included in T2Fix.

Download the latest T2Fix, link above, and tick the 'Thief 2 FM Fixes' box in the options box. The FMdml package will automatically apply all fixes (including any .gam files needed) to their respective missions.

Ps. You won't see any .dml or .gam file installed by FMdml in any of your folders, it's all done via T2Fix behind the scenes.

pretty sure everything is automatic if you patch up with the latest T2Fix. you just do that, and you are done, no edits or anything.

FMdml is an optional extra with T2Fix (just like T2Skies, Interactive candles, Thief Enhancement pack etc).
You need to agree to the 'Thief 2 FM Fixes' in the options box when installing, but yes after that everything is automatic. 140 missions fixed and many many more to come.

Are you going to release updates to this mod from time to time? If so, an alternative individual distribution would be a good idea, I think.
Assuming, that there won't be any updates to New Dark in the meantime, downloading newer version of T2Fix (v1.127b, c d etc...) would be an overkill for a mod that is less than 1Mb in size.
