This may already be answered within the thread, though I haven't found it yet. (And in that case, sorry for asking this question again)
I don't seem to have any sound within T3ED, neither from the Schema browser, or the Realtime Preview. Is there a known problem/fix for this?
Beleg Cúthalion on 3/7/2012 at 20:26
The schema browser doesn't work for everything, just try out a couple of different sorts of sounds (footsteps, voices, music etc.). I used to have SoundDrone running alongside to create ambient music markers.
The last sound issue (with the Send-to-xBox command) I had was fixed by some of snobel's specially-prepared T3Ed files, which by the way allow running T3Ed (and TDS) without the need to change the registry thing like Thief Launcher does. Try writing him a PM if he hasn't already contacted you.

I'll try to get those editor patches officially released, finally, so I can concentrate on the game. Hopefully this weekend, but it may take another week.
There's a small addition: T3Ed will now start up if you click on the exe, instead of throwing a messagebox at you. The main benefit is that you can have a nice blue glyph icon on the desktop. :)
It's funny though when people report that the patched exes fix sound problems, I've no idea why they would... (But if it works, it works. :sly:)

Me too, I can only say that these problems occured in between and were gone when I did things right with the latest patches. :weird:

im big into games and especially thief and everything i can play on steam... but installing this editor is confusing and almost cryptic to me...:confused: is there a very detailed explanation.. like detail by detail kinda thing just to get this working? and i was wondering.. if the game is launched through the steam program does it make a difference... if you don't know what steam is it is a program that downloads, installs, launches and sells games like counterstrike and half-life.. they actually have a TON of games.. including thief since 2007... but um please give me a hand! i would appreciate any help i can get!
also is there a thread that i can download people's thief III maps that they built? i have seen some AWESOME STUFF and i'm so syked about actually getting to build some super huge and VERY difficult stuff.. i just got through beating thief III on expert =).. quite challenging !
and also if someone could explain to me all of the names of the editor programs and what exactly they all do.. that would be cool.. and which one is best for making stuff for thief III... but i think thief III editor is the only one for thief III so that should be simple... but i want to know what the other programs are.. because i have alot of games and also all of the thiefs so i could edit them too... but if no one wants to answer that its fine.. my main questions are ABOVE^^^ thanks guys for your possible future help with this lost editing noob...

I'm pretty sure that T3Ed involes so much editing single files and having multiple directories that Steam itself will be the largest barrier. Otherwise, create a duplicate of a vanilla TDS directory, copy T3Ed into it (download links in this forum, see stickies), get the T3Ed patcher made by snobel (one of the recent threads in this forum) and use it. Then T3Ed should run and you can use either Komag's or d'Spair's tutorial (Googel should help you finding them, I'm too lazy right now :p) and start using T3Ed. Good luck, though.

Back when I needed the editor for testing purposes I was quite impressed by (
http://www.shadowdarkkeep.com/files/KomagTutT3.zip) Komag's tutorial. Obviously a lot of effort went into it, and it's even somewhat entertaining to follow. I only needed parts I+II, but that far it was painless.
When I bought the Steam version for testing I did a systematic comparison to my original European retail version. As you can see below, the Steam version is quite similar to the original, so there shouldn't be any problems for editor use.
The changed content files are actually older in the Steam version, so it's probably the American retail version with a little steam added, mainly in the form of a T3.exe with new exciting DRM.
As you can see almost all the changes are translation updates, so Steam's European customers are getting a slightly suboptimal experience... I guess this could be fixed by the next (
http://www.ttlg.com/forums/showthread.php?t=138607) Sneaky Upgrade installer. :sly: We'll see what time allows.
Files only in the retail version:
* Uninstall Thief - Deadly Shadows.lnk
* Content/T3/VideoTextures/copyright_engl_euro_30.bik
* Content/T3/VideoTextures/copyright_engl_fren_30.bik
Files only in the steam version:
* installscript.vdf
* System/testapp.exe
* System/testapp.exe
* System/runme.dat
* System/runme.exe
Changed files:
* readme.rtf
* System/t3.exe
The Steam version is very similar to the one that comes with the editor, but has some self-extracting stuff tagged on
* System/DEFAULT.INI
Retail: AggLanguage=EURO, Steam: AggLanguage=NONE
* Content/T3/Sounds/SchemaMetafile_Memory.csc
Retail: An empty file, Steam: Contains a single space
* Content/T3/Sounds/SchemaMetafile_HardDrive.csc
Retail: "la campana", Steam: "il campana"
* Content/T3/Books/English/String_Tags/UI.sch
Lots of changes in the French and German names for keyboard keys
* Content/T3/Books/English/String_Tags/Screens.sch
Retail: Configuration, Steam: Périphériques
* Content/T3/Books/English/String_Tags/Inventory.sch
Retail: "Grenade éblouissante", Steam: "Grenade éblouiss."
* Content/T3/Books/English/MovieSubtitles/keeper_prophesies.sch
Retail: "...la ripetizione", Steam: "[...la ripetizione"
* Content/T3/Books/English/MovieSubtitles/first_contact.sch
Placement(?) of one English and one German subtitle(?) changed

Stay small, basic and simple with the first things you try out, lest you get burried in unclean stuff and total chaos.
