Activating FMSel is easy as pie. You basically have two ways to do it. The first way is the most elegant and was recommended by DJ Riff:
Quote:
1. Make a copy of your Thief shortcut, Name it "Thief Gold FM Loader".
2. Open the shortcut's properties and add -fm to the text in the Target field. That's how it should look like:
D:\Games\ThiefG\thief.exe
modify to
D:\Games\ThiefG\thief.exe -fm
Then click OK to save changes.
3. Start the new shortcut. You'll be asked if you'd like to create the "FMs" folder. Click yes.
4. Suppress your greensy nature and click the small button with the gear icon on it. Select the "FM Archive Path..." and navigate to the folder where your Thief Gold fan-mission archives are located.
5. Select the FM in the list and click "Play FM".
Or you can do it this way:
Quote:
1. Open the file cam_mod.ini in your Thief directory.
2. Near the beginning of the file, you'll find the line
; always start the FM Selector (if one is present), and below it you should see the line
;fm.
3. Delete the semicolon in front of
;fm and save the file.
4. Launch Thief, FMSel should launch instead.
5. You'll be asked if you'd like to create the "FMs" folder. Click yes.
6. Click the small button with the gear icon on it. Select the "FM Archive Path..." and navigate to the folder where your Thief Gold fan-mission archives are located.
7. Select the FM in the list and click "Play FM".
8. If you wish to revert back to Thief, add the semicolon in front of
;fm again.
Hope this helps. :)

Help, foun a gorgeous Ghotic catacombs to explore, but there´s a fast invisible enemy that doesn´t allow me to live, anyone knows how to kill this pain in the ass? Any idea Sckaky? :cheeky:

As far as I know you can't, but there is enough room to evade it and hide. You just have to listen carefully and time your moves accordingly. I tried whacking it with my sword to no avail.

I keep kicking myself for not buying copies of TG and T1... They are sure cheap on Ebay... Sorry, can't play this one, since I only have T2 :( I am going to have to order up these games one day. Sooner than later, becuase I thnk I am missing out. While there are a lot of T2 FMs out there, there is a whole set of T1 and TG I have never seen.

The atmosphere in this one is great! I love the invisible guy!
I have found the copper key and opened the room where I dropped into the crypt. Inside there are some books with some cryptic hints, but I now have no idea where to go. I also found a lever under some stairs which appeared to open something but I'm not sure what.

nicked - The key unlocks a door very close to where you dropped into the ruin. The lever opened a gate blocking a room in the main room on the same level as the lever. You may have been in there and not realized it was previously blocked off.

Thanks for the advice skacky. Didn't realise it was a TG mission. Sadly I have been without TG since an attempted reinstall, when I discovered my original disk was unreadable! :mad::mad::mad:

I copy my disks to a thumbdrive,and try not to use disks much anymore. A backup system is always nice.

Finished it. A wonderful mission for such a small size! I'd love to see it expanded beyond the 64 cube limit.

Quited on this one, for as much i would like to explore more i just can´t because of the invisible and invencible Ai creature that keeps me killing me several times :p, well if this beautifull mission gets updated then it would be nice to remove this annoying creature or have the possibility to kill this thing otherwise it will be very difficult to apreciate the beauty of this mission...
