What mission is CTF? I downloaded Curse of the Falcon but mine says that's okay. I have toyed with the idea of comparing the downloads to what is already in the list. That is a project for a future release.

I posted a new version of the program. The Zip file test is very relaxed to eliminate false reports of corrupted zip files.

Hi !
Thanks for this new Loader !
I am going to test it with SS2.
Some suggestions upfront:
- Setting up the mission directories is very time consuming for me, since I refuse to drop all missions into the same directory. Instead I create a folder for each author.
As a result, I have to open the dialog for each and every author and the dialog defaults to the Desktop.
It would be nice if it was possbile to scan the specified directory including all subdirectories - and maybe even default to a reasonable default directory (maybe the first FM directory specified in the list ?).
- The sizes for the FMs are not displayed correctly. I assume this is because my OS is german, where the decimal point is ',' instead of '.'
No decimal separator is show at all, so e.g. for SS2-FM Ancient the size if shown as 111 instead of 1.11 or 1,11
The same for Thief2, etc.

Ah.. all is well. Thanks! My zip problem has been resolved. I will now move on to trying missions later today.

I have T1, T2, T3, and SS2 all running on multi-core computers without any issues. One is an Athlon Phenom X4, another is a Pentium P6100, and the other is an Atom N270. I haven't applied any patches other than ddfix and haven't had a problem.
However, being the benevolent king of this software, i'll look into it.
I looked into it. I looked at the affinity on my games as they were running and I found that they all were only running on CPU0. Then it hit me. I used the executables that were pre-patched for ddfix. They must already be patched for multi-core processors also.
I believe I got them either from Komag's web site or one of his DVD's.

New version of Thief Fan Mission Manager & Loader:
v11.6.4.1
* Added "Clean Orpaned T3 Registry Entries" to the File Menu
* Added ContextMenu to the Play Mission Grid
* Added "Uninstall Mission" to the Context Menu. If T3 mission uninstall, registry entries for the mission are deleted.
* Added support for Rebuilding the IBT file using the DLLRebuildIBT.dll component. This happens automatically during game installation for Thief 3 games that have .cbt files.
* Added the ability to select multiple fan mission directories when in the setup window.

I checked out your loader, very nice!
It looks like you use special registry keys for each Thief 3 mission, like ModernLoader. And you currently have the same issue ML had, with missions like "the Keeper", which unpack to a directory with a period in the name... So please read (

First, your mission loader is working very well.
Second, I've found another mission archive that is giving me a File Status problem. I've DL'd from 3 different sites. This time, however, it's status is "Specified argument was out of the range of valid values. Parameter name: versionRequiredToExtract". The FM in question is a T1 mission from 1999 by the name of "The Sword of Drakul". All 921 of my other mission archives are showing up OK.

I have the same issue with this mission file. I fixed it by unzipping it to a temp folder. Then delete the zip file. Then re-zip the folder to a new zip file.
There are a couple of others that give me errors also. Uninvited Guests gives me a "Compression Method Not Supported" error. Once again, I unzipped, deleted, and re-zipped to fix it.
