Or more accurately, a Fire Shadow in my Dark Project version of Bonehoard. Surely Fire Shadows only appear in Gold, yet there it is, in that room leading to The Mystic's Soul. Any ideas how it got there?
And it very definitely is Dark Project. I copied the THIEF folder from my DP CD before running TFix to install it, and it even says Dark Project in the menu.
Would this be a TFix or NewDark thing, perhaps?

I think it might be a post-patch thing (which also did some retexturing in the Halls of Echoing Repose, added Little Big World to The Sword, etc.

The one and only patch I applied to the original DP retail CD was TFix. Well, that and the NecroAge and Sound Enhancement mods. I have just played TG and switched to TDP for a change, to play the original missions without Fire Shadows, and with Craymen instead of Mages in the Lost City when I get to that mission, and various other differences. Pity if this is a deliberate thing, as I wanted to play Dark Project not Gold.

I had the same when I played TDP. Likewise, I installed TFix and was surprised to find a fire shadow in Bonehoard and the Little Big World in "The Sword". There were however craymen in the Lost City, not mages... I think this is the TFix thing.

That is good to know about Lost City, but there are many little changes made to missions in Gold, and I'd hope that the FS and LBW are the only "Gold" changes that have been made to missions.
Assuming of course, that this is by design rather than a wire getting crossed somewhere and TFix perhaps thinking that DP was Gold and doing Gold things to it then.

What about dropping the original miss4.mis file (you now must have the one belonging to Gold) in Thief directory?
That way you keep the original (TDP) which I prefer to the Gold one. Even in my Thief Gold installation I have the one from Dark Project together with a dml file that corrects some torches that were floating (thanks voodoo47). Also I prefer the texture layout in Thief Dark for this mission in particular.
