Yeah as long as you arent using some stupid crap like Darkloader they will load just fine
I wouldn't call that "just fine". They load significantly slower which is very annoying when you refresh a list of 948 FMs and they are the only FMs who stick out. ZIP is the best choice.
I don't undertand why few people make them in z7

Because the compression is more efficient (files are thus less heavy), and they accelerate the obsolescence of stupid crap like Darkloader. :thumb:

Can anyone help me with this?
I downloaded the 7z file for The Builder's Paradise and put it in my FM folder but Angelloader does not display the mission when I load the program. I don't have this issue with any of my other missions. Does anyone know how to fix this?
EDIT: Never mind, I just extracted the files manually and moved them to my FMs folder under Thief 2 directory where AngelLoader usually extracts them. I am able to see it and play it now in AngelLoader.
(Also wrong thread since ThiefGuild links to this thread under the mission but not the main thread for the mission.)

That's one of the missions that was improperly packed at some download locations (Taffers' Paradise at least). The data is in a subdirectory inside the zip, rather than in the base zip directory. Other loaders won't see it either, or if they do, they won't install it correctly.
