It's not pointless unless you delete your archived FM's once they are installed using fmsel.
But I don't see the point of converting 100's of FM's to save 1-3% of disk space when hard drives are so cheap today, and transfer speeds are measured in Mbit/sec.

Thanks!
I just looked up the thread for (http://www.ttlg.com/forums/showthread.php?t=99930&p=1355782&viewfull=1#post1355782) SergeBank.
The trouble started right after the updated version (oct 29) got released.

I just opened the .MIS files for both the old and the updated version.
The old one references bank.gam, while the new one references 2.gam instead.
But both ZIPs only include bank.gam. So the game is unable to find any gamesys file in the updated version.

One option would be to rename bank.gam to 2.gam, so the mission will use the custom GAM file from the ZIP.
The other option - as outlined in the thread - would be to copy the original dark.gam as 2.gam.
Unfortunately I see no statement from the author what the right fix would be or what specifc changes were made in the custom gamesys.
I will try both variants and post an update here some time later today after I had the chance to see which option works best.

Jason, regarding the (http://thiefmissions.com/m/errand) Errand Boy page

- There's a lootlist (by Iceblade) on Thief The Circle (go to (http://thief-thecircle.com/missions/) and search for Errand Boy) that isn't hosted on Thiefmissions ;
- The walkthrough link on the page is down. The original walkthrough can still be found here (http://www.daboys.co.uk/thief/walkeb.html) (without pictures) and here, thanks to the Wayback Machine (http://web.archive.org/web/20080123121851/http://www.3dactionplanet.com/thief/t2/info/fm/errand/walkthru.asp) (with pictures). Maybe you can put it up at your site again somehow.

Also, there's a V2 of this mission available, which was already announced in the following thread back in 2008:
(http://www.ttlg.com/forums/showthread.php?t=122394)
I've checked the zip contents of the version 2 found on (http://www.daboys.co.uk/pages/modzips.html) the author's page and of the primary version (http://thiefmissions.com/m/errand) Thiefmissions currently hosts. In the former, the files 'errand.txt' and 'miss20.mis' are dated 2/25/2004 and 6/28/2001 respectively, while the latter gives 8/3/2000 for both files. It's unclear what is actually changed or fixed though, as the V2 readme only provides a different name under author and an updated e-mail address. No changelog is available.

Give it some time. Perhaps epithumia is busy with work, etc. or traveling. I'm sure he'll get to it as soon as he can. :)

Hey Epithumia! Hopefully you'll check this thread. :D

Just adding you the link for the (http://www.ttlg.com/forums/showthread.php?t=142207) 48 Hours Contest thread, contest that ended a couple of months ago. All links for the missions are here, so it should help you to display them on Thiefmissions faster ;)

Good luck!

Oh, and I forgot author's names weren't displayed, so here's the link for the (http://www.ttlg.com/forums/showthread.php?t=142315) results, that may prove useful :D
