Recently, I can not correctly open FM in DromEd. Once everything worked fine, but I do not know how I broke everything. I used first FMSel, then AngelLoader.
I launch Dromed and choose the fm folder, open miss and then I get a message that gamesys was not found. I choose it manually, but anyway the mission opens without textures and models. How to fix this?
It seemed to me before I could run Dromed via FMSel, but now I did not find such an option there as well as in AngelLoader.

the gamesys message is a dead giveaway that the FM is not active. when using FMsel, running dromed.exe with the -fm param and selecting the FM in the launcher should do it, no idea about AngelLoader.

Are you opening a Thief 1 mission in Thief 2 or vice versa?

that usually results in a crash.

It shouldn't crash, but it will usually fail to find any custom resources. Of course the same result will happen opening any mission in a folder that Dromed doesn't expect, i.e. if it's not the active one as you said.

Same problem as Soul Tear, but I don't understand the explanation of your solution. Please run it by me in a different way?:erm:
Trying to look at mission 17 of DCE, no textures or objects load

How did you install the mission? For DromEd, using FMSel is the best choice.

Yeah, I've on occasion heard of various weird issues with AngelLoader opening FMs in DromEd, but I'm at a loss - it just calls DromEd with the -fm="name-of-the-fm" parameter and it's always worked for me. I apologize if there's issues, I just dunno what the cause could be. Sorry :(

Install the mission? FMSel creates a folder in the FM folder in the Thief 2 folder. I opened up Dromed and selected the path to the DCE_v1 folder. As far as I can see, there is no Dromed shortcut like Darkloader used to have.

In this case, DromEd couldn't load the gamesys. I recommend to rename DromEd. Dromeduncad.exe will do it (this is not a joke).
