I've been going back and forth and my head is splitting. I want to run T2x with NEWdark. How do I do that? Thief 2 is updated to 1.22 and works flawlessly but T2x still has the problems of hyperthreading, resolution screen changes as well as having the ugly old objects from the original thief game.

I think the easiest way is to patch up your T2 installation with New Dark, and then grab the T2X FM from (
http://www.bogadocious.com/thief.html) Ricebug's site. It's patched to work with New Dark T2, and you run it just like any other FM through Darkloader or FMSel.
It comes with an older version of the EP, but you can substitute any newer version if you like (or remove it completely).

Update:
Ok somehow between all the overwriting I did going back and forth with Tafferpatcher being installed in my T2X directory and restoring the backup. The game seems to now be functioning with newdark. There is no more 6 second pause when looking at your map or going to the menu. The gameplay speed is now normal with no Multi core crashes. The only problem now is its still using the classic thief objects like the loot and the stack of hexagonal gold coins.
I DID as you say and got the T2XHD to work FLAWLESSLY by being ran as an FM with FM SEL. All the objects are high poly and all textures displaying correctly while being updated with Newdark.
Call me crazy but I don't like some of the human mesh skins on the guards and what not. Everyone has to have such darkened eyes?!
BACK TO THE NON HD T2X Being RAN WITH The Stand alone .exe
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
What steps would I take to get the high poly loot/objects to show in T2X?
What folder are these in and more importantly what do I need to add to the cam.ini?
Thank you all for your time

try the T2xFix from the bottom of the first TFix post, I think it should do what you want.

Ok I was trying a few different things to get the new loot and high poly objects to work with the NON HD version of T2X because like I said I like the original artist's work on T2X.
I tried the thief enhancement pack 2.0 and added the "mod_path ep2" to my cam.ini
Everything was good save for seeing Garret's arm in place of the sword and that ugly turkey leg (blackjack) instead of the knock out hammer. This is all part of the ep2.crf file and I dont have the skill to go in there and edit it.
HOWEVER!!!
I did notice that there was an overlooked file called "Ep.crf". I have no idea where it came from and it was not enabled via the cam.ini. So just on a hunch I added the line "mod_path ep" to my cam.ini file and BAM!!! Everything is perfect now. Original textures that were made by the T2X team while getting that highpoly loot!
Big thanks to you for the link and more over, your help with this.

That is the (old version of the) Enhancement Pack. There's an EP2 you can download, but it also replaces some original T2 terrain textures which you may not want, but it also does have more object upgrades and some hires (NewDark resolution) textures as well.

problem with ep2.crf is it remodels the sword arm and blackjack so in T2x you see garrett's arm for the blackjack and sword.
