okay.. Ive been trying to update my copy of Thief2 to NewDark ver 1.22
thing is, I downloaded the zip, and just found several other zip files in it....
is there some instructions on how to apply the files???

The instructions should be there but anyway: Just place contrib.zip and newdark.zip in your Thief 2 folder and extract them.

I'm assuming you already have New Dark and you're just adding the 1.22 update. If that is not the case, then you should install New Dark with (

It is not necessary to put everything from the original 1.22 download into your Thief 2 folder. The only two ZIP archives that need to be extracted into the Thief 2 folder are "new_dark.zip" and "contrib.zip". Just doing that should install the patch and you shouldn't have to do anything else.

the easies way would be to patch up with TafferPatcher, extract contrib.zip to the root T2 folder, and grab Thief2.exe from the new_dark.zip and drop it to the root as well. that's it, TaffetPatched install with the 1.22 update.

well.. I tried that...
but for some reason, when I tried to run "Place for Ghosts"... it kept saying I only have ver 1.21...
I'm using the GOG.com version of the game... so am I doing something wrong?

What exactly said that you were running 1.21? Details if possible.
When you extract contrib.zip and new_dark.zip into your Thief installation directory, you have to make sure you overwrite the old files.

make sure the main exe has been replaced/updated.

I had a problem with updating to the 1.22 patch. I got a strange message about the .exe and it wouldn't overwrite the 1.21 .exe. But when I unzipped to the desktop first and then dragged the files into my T2 folder, the new version did overwrite the old one. Perhaps that might work for you.
To check what version you have, try one of the methods suggested in (
