Damn!! still crashes. I dont know if it is helpfull but it crashes before the loading bar covers the first quarter.
The file should be like this right?

The ini is the file with the popup balloon, must have poped when i hit printscreen sorry. It is also small but it can be resized if copied on the desktop.

I got the three special loot items and got every obvious loot. [SPOILER]Even the bit on the body up in the rafters. [/SPOILER] Can't find the rest. Been everywhere upstairs, in basement, in all rooms. Is there a secret somewhere? [SPOILER]Got the change from the guard table at the entrance.[/SPOILER] [SPOILER]Even found the bit on the floor in one of the downstairs bedrooms. [/SPOILER] Can't figure out where the last 17% is. Is there a loot list? :eek:

Potterr,
No i use your !,02 version of GL(Should i download a new? where from?)
and when hiting play (i made sure all files are as you mentioned above) the file "user.ini.GLUBU" does not apear.
Edit: Ok i am downloading the 1,12 version and i will do all the steps again
Hope i dont have to unistall anything more than Gloader 1,02

Ok It worked!!!
But the frame rate is slow, I played fine the original game but the fm is slow. Itried to restart the originalgame and it also runs slow :confused: :confused:

I uninstaled all (thief and GL) and reinstaled only TDS, it works with fine frame rate. When i install Gloader it slows signifigantly the frame rate both the FM and the original game. Do you all have this problem?
The mission looks amazing :eek:
potter HELP!!

Kin, the vertext pools section in the user.ini file is required to run the FM, when playing the original you will have to remove any user_patch.ini file (the temporary one mentioned before) and remove the same from your user.ini (GL doesn't do this yet).
Unfortunately it is a downside to using FMs in T3, you will need either a better graphics card or a bit more memory to play better.
I have an AMD althlon 2800
770 MB RAM
and a saphire radeon 9600 pro graphics card.
I get about a drop of 5 frames per second for FMs compared to the orginal missions (about 25 frames a second which is the same as TV frame rate).
The only other possible thing you could try is to reduce the values in the vertext pools section of the user_patch.ini file manually before playing until you get a decent frame rate but it doesn't crash when loading.
This is one of teh things that T3 FM authors will have to be quite pro-active about and maked sure that the levels they set in their user_patch.ini files are suitable on low, medium and high end PCs.

I got a 3,2Ghz intel 1000mb ram and Ati randeon 9800 pro
I reduced the vertext pools to
[PCVertexPools]
DynamicVertexPool=5457280
StaticVertexPool=5214400
StaticShadowVertexPool=5728640
And i still got that jerky movement of the camera (assuming it iis low frame rate)
sometimes it fixes for a second and then again it drops.
