Complete DVD THIEF - TTLG Forums

theBlackman on 30/12/2009 at 01:36

Just curious. I have installed, and generally am happy with, the DVD collection with GOLD.

How-some-ever, a minor problem. I installed the complete TDS and then installed GARRETTLOADER. The problem is that I have no R function to drop an item, nor does the I key work as it should, and the arrow keys for the telescopic view for the eyeball locks things up to a blank screen.

I can get out of the lockup with ESC and a BACK arrow into the game mission I am on.

I've not tried it with the normal TDS set (I may reinstall later) so I don't know if it is a reaction with GL or the install.

Anyone else have a similar problem.

AMD XP 3000+
XP PRO SP2
Creative Audigy Platinum 2
2 Gig RAM
ATI X800XT AIW

None of which should matter.

I was waiting for someone more knowledgeable to speak up, but since no one has, here goes.

I suspect that something has hosed up either your user.bnd file in your Thief directory or your dark.bnd file. User.bnd should look something like this:

You can use Notepad+ (but I have been told not Notepad) to edit this file and fix it up, or you can just take a copy of mine from (http://goldsla.fileave.com/user.bnd) here. This is my (http://goldsla.fileave.com/dark.bnd) dark.bnd.

Thanks, but I mis-spoke. TDP/GOLD and TMA are fine. I should have been more specific.

The problem is with Deadly Shadows only, which is the only one using GarrettLoader.

I use Darkloader for all the TMA, TDP/GOLD plays and FMs. None of these has any association with GarrettLoader. And Deadly Shadows is on a completely different HDD.

Apologizes for my lack of complete communication.

LarryG on 6/1/2010 at 02:42

Sorry. My mistake. I thought you were talking about TMA not TDS. I'm afraid I have no idea how the key bindings are managed for TDS. I sincerely doubt that GL has anything to do with it. Have you tried TDS without GL?

theBlackman on 6/1/2010 at 04:43

No problem. It's my error. I should have been clearer when I first posed the question.

As I mentioned, I have run TDS earlier with the Minimalist tweak, but I have not yet tried the original version, or TDS without GL.

I don't have the time, or inclination at the moment, to do the changes to do so.

Long story, but suffice it to say I have other things that take precedent at the moment.
