Yes, both are the latest versions possible. Freshly downloaded. Weird.
Try (

Hey Fen! GenPlastro here, if you remember me from your streams!
Anyway, i was using AngelLoader 1.4.4 for the longest time and now decided to update, i notice that in 1.6.6 there were this patch notes:
Quote Posted by FenPhoenix
A small handful of OldDark FMs use custom palettes to achieve certain effects such as monochrome or sepia tone visuals. By default, NewDark does not apply these FMs' custom palettes correctly, causing for example some objects to be full color in an FM where everything is supposed to be monochrome. AngelLoader will now fix this issue automatically for FMs that need it.
Do you know which missions are affected? i will probably want to replay them to see them in their correct visuals.
Only one so far i noticed is Ramstall's Keep.
The ones I know of are:
* Ranstall Keep (both T1 and T2 versions, and also the French version "Le Donjon")
* The Burrick's Head Inn: Vintage Edition (only this version)
* What Lies Below (OldDark version only)
* Last Caress
* Cryptic Realms (black and white version) - but note this one is for NewDark so this one may not actually require the fix and it may just have vestigial palette files that aren't used, not sure
* A Better Tomorrow (this is an OldDark mission released just after NewDark came out, so it has some limited concessions to it, but it uses the OldDark style of B&W visuals, so needs the fix)
That's it as far as I'm aware, just a handful.

As usual, it was most likely something I did, but your debug version pointed me in the right direction.
I seem to remember installing TB then rearranging my directory structure because it was double-nested (D:\thiefbuddy\Thief Buddy\etc.) and it showed up in the output text as not being in the expected directory and it was aborting. I mistakenly assumed it was 100% portable but it wasn't.
thanks for making that version, it definitely helped
I just should have tried reinstalling both and it would have fixed itself. :)

Glad to hear it :)

In the future, when I ask about a problem, you have my permission to just say, "What did you do now?" before you go to any extra work on my part.
Now if we can just get Thief Buddy to stop interfering with other aspects of the game and other programs, we'll be good.

Thanks for your beta tests Hit - input simulator interference outside of game solved, timed saves work better now with a restart of the time period after any manual save and readables no longer self-close thanks to your properly useful points made - even though you gave me a darn headache hehe!! :cheeky:

You forgot Twist! He was the headache-inducing one, not me. ;)
I've been so lax I haven't even gotten back to you on the latest update. He had all the great ideas. I'd give him at least 75% of the credit.

Lol - let's just say you came up with the interesting issues, and you're right, Twist was utterly fab at suggesting ways of solving them. All in all, without you both, I wouldn't have been aware of the frustrating areas, and would never have solved them - so thanks to both of you :)

Well, I think in this context "fab" is a concise and flattering way of saying "verbose." :thumb:
It was fun and you did great work, VA. Congratulations on the release! (Although I noticed you updated but didn't bump the Thief Buddy thread... guess I'll help you with that.)

It's a Win for everyone. I personally love using the QuickSave feature, but didn't like only having 1 slot. This solves a long-standing issue for me, with flying colors, so I'm happy to have helped in some small way.
Congrats on a great app!

Can anyone help me please? I've clicked something by accident and now have lost the box where you add comments. I can't see how to re-add it! Any tips?
Just finished an FM and can't put my comments in :mad:
