ah yes,seems like we have found the root of all evil.create a "RES" folder in your thief folder and move all files that end with crf there.then it should work with the cfg you just posted..

Don't give up so easily..... Troubleshooting is not the easiest thing to do sometimes!:o


And yes, if you play fan missions, and you use darkloader, the ".crf" files should be in a "crfs" folder. Thief 1/gold uses "crfs" (of course, no quotes!) and thief 2 uses res. This might also be the problem. Also, in darkloader make sure you set the paths correctly.
Oh, I forgot you said you don't play fan missions (that's a shame)... Well then darkloader is pointless in that case.. Anyway, try putting all .crf files into a crfs folder in thief gold base directory.

Also, may I suggest asking Nameless Voice himself for help if y ou haven't already, and/or check the Enhancement Pack thread if you haven't already.

Good luck!

Oops! Apparently darkloader is needed, as you should optimize thief gold with darkloader before attempting to install this EP.

Also, restore your install.cfg you deleted, if you can....

Anyway, here's what my install.cfg resname_base looks like:



Try that.

And I hope you meant you have all CRFs in the crf folder (EXCEPT EP.CRF), not CFGs. Big difference.

Also, I wouldn't use ".\" for everything in there.....

First of all, cd_path should be the drive letter.

For example, D:\ but it depends on what drive letter your CD is on....

second, install_path for example in my case is : E:\Games\ThiefGold

Your script_module_path, load_path, and movie_path should have full game directories, not ".\"

One other thing, I think Darkloader likes moving EP.crf to the CRFS folder (just a hunch, I think it happened when I optimized thief gold), so make sure you move it back to your thief gold folder if it has done so.. That has happened to me before.:o


Good luck!

Darkloader you do not need to start a mission.... Just open it up, pick your thief 2 install directory in the setup, and a window should pop up saying to optimize your install of thief 2.....

Here's something you can try:
What I would do is, make sure you have a fresh copy of thief 2, reinstall darkloader (or not, but make sure it's closed!), load up darkloader, and try setting up your thief 2 folder... a window telling you to optimize your install should pop up. THEN, make sure EP.crf is in your root thief 2 folder (not CRFs!) and follow my post above again. I hope that helps.... Nameless Voice may be of better help to you than me, seeing as he is the one who made it.... I thought there was a FAQ about installation, but I don't see anything about it on the first post in the fan mission forum thread.

@Nameless Voice: Oh, that's all it does? I wondered just what "optimizing" thief in darkloader did.... I knew it moved the crfs I think, but that's it.

I only said crfs and not res because thief 1/gold uses crfs. I guess it really doesn't matter though whether it's res or crfs, right?


This is a bit off topic, but I'm guessing the . is the old dos or old windows 3.1 equivalent to moving to the main folder of a directory structure if that makes any sense..


Anyway, good luck ganondark, and I hope you are able to get it to work!
