I dont know whats wrong.. but I got "running interference" when I tried to load this up with the NewDark mission selector...

I had this same problem you have to create a separate FM selector for T1. I thought it was a T2 mission so I opened it up in my T2 FM selector and running interference starts. Then I found out it is T1/TG so I opened it up with the T1 FM selector and it runs fine. Do you have two FM selectors setup?

This Thief Gold fm is attempting to use your T2 Resources. Use Darkloader V4.2 or above, and load in Darkloader, install only. Quit Darkloader. Go to your Darkloader directory, and find the Darkloader.ini (Configuration Settings)
Find the name of the fm, and change Type=2 to Type=1, save. Start Darkloader and play.

Someone really needs to update Darkloader to work properly with NewDark T1 FMs.

Nice little mission!
I had fun playing it, but also finding my way way through it.
Partially due to the overly lenghty texts.
(Which, in my opinion, would deserve an overhowl with respect to formatting, spelling, style and story.
news.str even has a truncated page.)

What is it between Mikano and Draunquo?
Are they having an affair?
Why is Draunquo eagerly willing to pay even more money to Mikano?
Shouldn't he be paid for providing him with stuff he wants instead?
I don't get it.

It seems that the texts were created in a rush.

1.Well basically it has to do with the story line of my future missions which have a lot to do with the hand brotherhood mages and also the necromancers which are an evil division of the mages that practice necromancy. So basically Mikano and Dranquo are both part of the mage sect that is in thief gold and so Mikano has sent Dranquo to various different locations to spy and obtain items that he will need in the future, hence that is what his "collection" is for. But now Dranquo is at Lord Billinors manor and was about to steal the Bronze Amulet for Mikano, but since Garrett got to it first it will cause conflict between the two in future missions.
2.They aren't having an affair.
3.He is willing to pay Mikano in an eager fashion because they are working together(Mikano is doing all of the research and doing all of the experiments and Dranquo is getting all of the things Mikano will need.)4.Well Dranquo also works for Lord Billinor The Laboratory is where Dranquo works at in the manor and that means he is paid quite a lot and since Mikano knows about this he now wants a 40% cut from it which Dranquo is willing to give him since they are partners.
So do you understand now (Wow I just typed a lot of stuff :sweat:)
Hopefully you do so I don't have to explain anymore :laff: :thumb:

Something's gone terribly wrong: I loaded this mission via DarkLoader; but whether I play it through DL or by playing from my Thief2 icon, it does the same thing: Rather than start with mission 20, it starts with the first Basso mission.

What has messed up, and how can I fix it so I can play the Serp Am?

(If you're going to ask me what version of DL this is, please tell me how I can check that.)

Thanks,

Dafydd

It's a Thief Gold mission - (http://www.ttlg.com/forums/showthread.php?t=143456&p=2240247&viewfull=1#post2240247) fix. Or you can just use FMSel.

If you want to know what version of DL you have, right click on the icon, choose Properties at the bottom of the list, then look under Details.

Thanks, Nickie; I thought it was the problem of a Thief1 file masquerading as Thief2, but I couldn't remember the fix for it! Seems to be playable now.
