Why not call it FleshLoader after asking if we're allowed?
It's not a question of being allowed, it's a question of whether one wants to be associated with a Kingers Project or not.
On the other hand, FleshLoader is an obvious choice for a name, and the Kingers attempt was so short-lived that it probably isn't an issue.

Yeah, if you're happy with that name then just do it. He hasn't trademarked it or anything.

I'd love to see this as well, I uninstalled GL after it totally fucked all my T3 saves. :mad:
I'm doubly glad to hear you're not planning to use .NET, after I recently had a (

Well perhaps someone could give me a list of whats required.
The ibt compressor for example. Is there a dll for it ?
Also I will have to figure out how to install them without fubaring your thief3 install so any information would be helpful. Save me from figuring it all out on my own :)
Like do I have to convert audio files or any other conversions ?

I got an idea: support for missions compressed in rar format, not only zip. Actually the former gives a better compression rate.

Well I was planning on using the 7zip library so that would mean rar,7z and zip.
I believe it even supports tar.gz as well although for a windows only app I dont think there will be much demand for that.

I like the idea for this. I hope you can keep it as simple as possible. GL annoys me too often when it randomly decides to not work.
If the app is just a small "Select the zip, click install, click play" type thing then I'll be happy. I don't care for extra features.

Don't forget the uninstall (mission) button!
Yeah, keep it simple, but because of how TDS FMs work, we need a reset button to put the old stuff back.

.........................................
Yandros, I have been "religiously" keeping a full backup of my regular T3 save-games, ever since the very first GL started losing them, in an instant. :angel:
And to Thelvyn, from an unknowing and simple T3 FM game-playing Taffer. . .
Hell YES, mate! :thumb:
We'd love to see something that might just help to unlock the future of FM adventures! (And it's like. . . Could you imagine a player, who cannot even play a T3 FM, ever wanting to build a new one?) :tsktsk:
And then your new T3 Loader will open all of those possibilities, back up! :thumb:
It's a shame that the original T3 exe didn't use something like a Mods sub-directory or folder logic, from its start. (You know, the old built-in loading logic of searching for game-pieces within a Mods folder and its sub-folders, first. And then if it is not found, going on to search through the standard folder-paths.)
*** Right now, I have T3 specially installed and ready for FM work. ***
C:\games\thief3 (Just for an example.)
So, does a new "C:\games\t3fm" or a "t3mods" folder sound about right?
(This way, you'd have the entire new folder's root-name for the FM's mods.)
And then, for playing a new FM, you'd manually rename your SaveGames folder, to back it up, and then clean and install into that T3 FM Mods folder.
