Actually, the subtitles for the new Garrett quotes in my mission are on by default. I didn't implement NVScript in this one, so I just used the old-fashioned method of frobbing a plaque with the subtitle written on it whenever Garrett speaks.

Yes, it's possible. Just enable it through the USER.CFG file.
Do I have to put ;enable_subtitles in the USER.CFG file?
Are there any instructions how to do it for Thief Gold and Thief 2 v. 1.27?

Simply uncomment the ; to enable subtitles. So, it would look like this:
enable_subtitles
without the ; next to it.
Both Thief Gold and Thief 2 can be done the same way.

Is it just me...or do some of the missions not download as ZIP files? A few of the missions appear as page files for me and don't function as fan missions....
Also...thank you everyone for all the time and effort you put into this. I've been playing Thief all my life and for me...it's more than a game...it's therapy. I am currently considered "essential" by the powers that be and daily have to venture out into this chaotic world. Coming home to play missions made by this community is what my brain needs!

Some of the missoins are in .7z format instead of .zip, but that shouldn't matter if you are using a modern mission loader. Old Darkloader will not recognize them.

But I don't have this line in USER.CFG file at all.

It's now in the
cam_ext.cfg file in your Thief 2 game folder, at least it is on my installation after running the latest T2Fix 1.27b. Scroll down to the end and it's the last entry.
Originally it looks like this enabled:
; enable and configure subtitles
enable_subtitles
subtitles_bg_color 0 0 0 0
movsubtitles_bg_color 0 0 0 0
To turn off, change it to this and then save the file:
; enable and configure subtitles
;enable_subtitles
subtitles_bg_color 0 0 0 0
movsubtitles_bg_color 0 0 0 0

Have all contestants provided their missions? Will be more FMs or this is all?

The deadline was the 27th, so yes everything has been submitted.
I do believe some authors, like Nicked and Jarlfrank, will be releasing missions soon(ish), that were originally intended for the contest, so stay tuned for those.

I didn't have these lines in cam_ext.cfg. So I copied these lines for enabled subtitles and pasted them at the end of cam_ext.cfg file.
