I can't manage to get the editor to work. I've reinstalled Thief 3, patched it, copied it into a new folder, extracted the editor into this new folder, renamed and deleted the relevant files and correctly used dracflamlocs launcher to make the damned thing work. Nothing happens however, although Thief 3 itself launches without any difficulty from this program. Where have I gone wrong?

No error windows popping up?

Just make two shortcuts to it, one with "-edit" and one with "-game".

Nothing. The little red light on my computer flashes a bit as if something might happen but in the end selecting the editor in the launcher has no effect.

Check the process in the Task Manager. Do either of the following show up: T3.exe, T3ed.exe?
Oli G on 27/2/2005 at 17:04
There are two processes called T3.exe.
David on 27/2/2005 at 17:11
Kill them both and try again.
If a t3.exe is already running when you launch the editor I have found that you get one of two things happen: a) nothing, b) a message telling you that you cannot start t3ed.exe directly.
Oli G on 27/2/2005 at 17:22
Ok I've done that but launching the edtior just creates another T3.exe and again nothing happens...

Well, whatever suits you best. Personally, i think 1.5-2gb extra is a small price to pay in these days of 100-200GB hard drives.
So, if you build a FleshLoader type of thing, does that mean you won't be supporting single folder install? It would be extra nice if you did. :)
