They had looked into it, rar at least, and maybe 7zip, but getting other bugs fixed took priority. There was also someone else that was going to try and program a GL type loader, but I don't think it went very far, which happens to the best of us.
Does 7zip compress a zipped mission more? You could send them over the internet as a 7zip, and then the user could extract it out. Wouldn't help with harddrive space, but might help with downloads.
Much more in some cases, especially the textures anfd the main .ibt file gest compressed much better than in classic zip.

I mean, do you gain anything re-zipping an already zipped FM? Just for the purposes of downloading.

Oh, I'm sorry, I misunderstood your question - no it doesn't :) The 7zip compression is more efficient in comparison to standard Zip while packaging the mission, not already zipped one :)

I've got a few problems with garrett loader. First of all about my tech:
I'm using Version 1.41 of GL, Thief II 1.18
I'm playing on laptop acer 5920G with 8600gt so i'm using (
http://timeslip.chorrol.com/ddfix.html) fix.
Now to business, my probems:
Some T2 Missions when i load them, show me errors or crash GL, for example «voldenuit» some little french mission. Or such error

Привет Наротан, I'm using for T2-FM's the Darkloader. I've never had problems with it. Garrettloader is a little bit strange with other games than T3.

I also got this "Run-time error '340': Control array element '1' doesn't exist". What should I do now? Should I enter "GarrettLoader.exe /resetdb" in CMD?
I tried later this command but it didn't help.
I was forced to reinstall GL and things are now back to normal.
I like GL!

this is due to the quote in the zips file name, remove the quote and it will run fine.

This is possibly a hyper threading issue. Have a look (
http://www.potterdevelopments.org.uk/fm/help/Running_Thief_2_on_Multi-Core_Processors.HTM) HERE for a possible solution (GLs full online help is (
http://www.potterdevelopments.org.uk/fm/help/frames.HTM) HERE). What is missing from there is that GL is probably running on multiple cores so it I am adding some content on fixing that. I.E. if GL is running in multi-cores it will launch T2 in multi-cores as well which would be where the crashes occur.
EDIT: GLs Affinity checks are now running very well although I have not had any issues with affinity on Vista (or indeed on win2k) so I don't know if its just an XP thing.

I am getting the same error and its driving me nuts. It seems to occur after a second launch; I.e. playing Thief through GL (successfully) and then coming back later to relaunch GL on a second and subsequent use.
If I reinstall GL the problem goes away and then returns, following the same pattern.

At this point I'm about through dealing with GL.
Could I get a bit of help as to how to manually uninstall the current FM I have in here (The Bridge) I unzipped a copy and poked around. Is it just a matter of removing the contents like with a DromEd FM?
And is a manual install of a new T3 FM just a matter of the reverse?
Just reinstall GL over the top of the old install and you'll be able to launch it. After this simply reinstall the OM's and then forget about it. I found that as long as GL has the OM's installed, Darkloader will just take the ball and
run with it (no pun intended). ;)

I'll PM you with a link to the new beta version. This should have resolved the error, if not it will give better diagnostic of where its occurring.
