I have...and...gulp...what do I do in there...:erm:

In the display mode section try disabling dx9 mode.

I don't know your system, so play around or look here.

Thanks, DarthsLair for this very nice and enjoyable creepy mission !
I have seen a lot of areas already and the mission really has some cute elements. :D

There are a few things troubling me quite often, though:
- once in a while I can not longer shoot any arrows. They just stick in the air.
- a couple of different items, like crates, severed body parts, & other items stick to my hands and I can neither drop nor throw them
I always have to quit Thief and restart. Then all works well again - at least for a while.

And found that Mr Tumbles journal (tumble.str) is broken.
All pages have too much text in order to fit onto the page and need to be reformatted.

EDIT: morrisdiary.str is truncated as well - starting with the first page already.

I can't load this mission using the integrated loader.
I get the trick or treat screen, choose any, start the mission but the original missions get started.
edit: runs fine with darkloader.

Same here.

Hooray...I can play (for those suffering as I did, delete this line from cam_ext...
use_d3d_display....now I have total brightness control)
Now for some fun.

darthslair, maybe you should do 1.18-compatible version too? I'd not like to completely switch to 1.19, at least now. Because according to tones of reports it crashes constantly and got a bunch of new bugs(which weren't in original). Even fm-selector's very glitchy. If authors stick to 1.19 they do risk to descrease popularity of their missions. And making everyone use the raw patch is discrimination.

To the contrary, there have been very few bugs or crashes reported that I've seen. I have yet to have it crash once, after I updated my DX installation. As for not wanting to have to update, you can (and should) keep your 1.18 installation around so it's not like you have to give it up.

Wow.....oh wow...did I say wow.
This missions great..now those two issues I had have been sorted this thing is beautiful, no more ctrl/alt/delete to sort out the cpu issue...not getting stuck to walls..so far...no framerate lagging...it's great.

Same here.

~~Probaly it's because of MP3 usage? I got that error message from FM Selector and FM Selector doesn't support MP3 files.~~

EDIT: Found the problem, the "Strings" directory with missflag.str is in wrong place under "Intrface"

Congrats Rod for opening Halloween season :thumb: ! I'm sure this will be a great fun for this weekend.

@ Winter Cat: I don't agree with you. I don't know wehere did you see those bug reports, but I found very few here and are only setup problems. You lose much by leaving this patch, which makes Thief really better. Otherwise the old 1.18 game and Dromed are much buggy than this New Dark, believe me.
