2. Which FMs? How do you install FMs? DromEd doesn't find the path to the resources or the resources are missing,
Only checked 'Book of Prophecy'(1 & 2) as I've just restarted playing T2.
Thief-2 Fan-Mission Selector (FMSel 1.1.12) via a Download folder where I store the Zips. FMSel does the decompression to Thief2/FMs Folder. I have Dromed Open the hd:/Thief2/FMs\miss20.mis file and I'm asked to select the custom GAM file. Long list of errors is then displayed in the secondary window. The missions load fine for the FMSel 'Play mission' button.
Dromed should know the path to the files; or do I need to add a directory path somewhere in Dromed or the FM?
Alternately should I be copying the uncompressed files to another location; I'm not editing/saving the mission just peeking/poking around after I finished playing them.

DromEd didn't find the resources. This can happen because... well, reasons. For example more than just a single Thief installation.
I this case, open DromEd, skip FM, navigate to the FM folder manually and open the mis file.

That is exactly what I do. I never have multiple instances of Thief2 running. I am playing or I am poking around.
Oh well, I guess I'll have to uninstall everything when the issue gets tiresome, then reinstall.
Thanks for your time people.

PS. I figured out that by adding "+.\FMs\753_BookofProphecy1DeadLetterB" to DARKINST.CFG lines the problem disappeared for that FM. Guess I need to edit it whenever I change FM's.
Also noticed that Admin privileges makes the Dromed Window Bigger, scratches head and shrugs, OK I'll use the Admin link from now on.

No one knows my friend. It's completely anonymous and ever release is a gift we couldn't expect.

Tafferpatcher is actually not anonymous, it's made by DJ Riff. You're of course referring to New Dark, which is only part of the Tafferpatcher install.

Ha my mind totally erased some details there, I thought they were asking when the next newdark was coming.

Thanks for all the work on this mod patch! I did read the OP to see this only works with original install disks and wondered is there a similar mod patch for those who would like to use Steam or GOG versions?
Unna Oertdottir on 5/8/2018 at 13:40
Steam+GOG versions are also supported by Tafferpatcher.

Good news, thanks. o/
