I am trying to install "Thief 1 & Gold AI Mesh & Skin Patch (TGA Version)" on (
http://thief-thecircle.com/media/patches/).
I followed the instructions but when I change the setting to "Character Detail: High", Thief Gold crashes (has encountered an error and needs to close).
I have
not optimized my Thief Gold installation with the Darkloader since that causes another problem (see (
http://www.ttlg.com/forums/showthread.php?t=121519) here).
So if you want to install the mods by Daemonite and Orgy, do you have to first "optimize" your Thief installation with the Darkloader? Thank you.

It turns out that the crashing in the menu was not related to the installation of the Daemonite mods. After reinstalling Thief Gold, the game was crashing to desktop when I hit "Done" in the menu even before I could install the Daemonite mesh and skin pack.
I was able to fix this crash with the DDFix which I used to set the resolution at 1024x768. I think the problem was that my monitor resolution is 1280x1024 and the Thief resolution was 1024x768.
However, when I install the Daemonite mods now (either the TGA or GIF files), the objects don't show up in gameplay (such as the torches, crates, guards, Garret's weapons and items, etc). I did remember to add ObjTextures16 to the Dark.cfg file.
Has anyone ever heard of this problem and possibly know a fix? Do I need to optimize my Thief installation with DarkLoader before the Daemonite mods will work?

I am surprised how quiet this thread has been. Nothing except me and the crickets chirping. I don't know how good of an idea it was to move the Thief tech support section out of the general Thief subforum to this generic "Legacy" subforum.
I finally got Thief Gold to run properly by performing the following actions in this order:
1. Install Thief with the -lgntforce switch.
2. Install the DDFix.
3. Install DarkLoader and let it optimize the TG installation.
4. Install Daeomonite's Thief 1 & Gold AI Mesh & Skin Patch (TGA Version).
5. Install Orgy's Thief Gold Texture Patch (Hardware Version).
6. Install Nameless Voice's Thief Enhancement Pack.

my guess is that all your problems stemmed from a bad configuration in the install.cfg file
For example, in my configfile:
resname_base .\EP\Thief1+.\EP+.\dtmp+.\RES
means, first use materials thief1 folder from Enhance pack archieve, then the root of the enhance pack archieve, then the Daemonite archieve (dtmp) then the RES folder (default thief files)
post your install.cfg contents here (open w/ notepad)

Thank you for your response. I have been meaning to answer your request but the board had been down for some time.
Anyway, here is what my install.cfg looks like:
Quote:
cd_path e:\
install_path d:\program files\thiefgold
language english
resname_base .\EP\Thief1+.\EP+.\EP\Thief1+D:\Program Files\ThiefGold\RES+.\EP+.\EP\Thief1+.\EP+.\EP\Thief1+.\EP+.\EP\Thief1+.\EP+d:\program files\thiefgold+e:\thief
load_path d:\program files\thiefgold+e:\thief
script_module_path d:\program files\thiefgold+e:\thief
movie_path d:\program files\thiefgold\movies+e:\thief\movies
Does this look normal to you, considering I followed steps 1-6 above? Anything missing? Thanks!
