Embarrassing problem - TTLG Forums

So I decided to learn how to create FMs for Thief 2 and for that I use Nick Dablin's tutorial. I have T2Fix 1.27e and I installed Dromed and went through 1st part. Embarrassingly though I'm stuck at the very beginning of (https://nickdablin.wordpress.com/2014/01/13/absolute-beginners-guide-to-creating-a-thief-2-mission-part-two/) part 2. In my FM folder I need to create Tutorial folder and I did that, but my FMSelector doesn't see it. It only shows zip files. I have no idea what to do.

There are 2 folders FMSel uses for finding/displaying FMs:
FM archive path (which is best kept outside of your game's installation folder) is solely for FM zip/7z files. When the FM is installed, the zip file is extracted to Thief2\FMs\[FM name]

The "installed" folder is in Thief2\FMs, and that's where the Turorial folder needs to be created.

Ah, so it was that simple. Thanks for info.

Where do you find that tutorial? I've only ever used KOMAG's beginner guide.

I can't answer for exactly where Galaer found it, but there's a link in the stickied Tutorials thread
