Yeah, I unistalled T3, gonna reinstall and do it all over again. Just one problem. The T3 folder I made won't delete, I get this error message,

EDIT: Ok, the only thing my computer cant get rid off is the unzipped version of the editor. Does anyone know how this can be removed so I can start again? I was able to remove EVERYTHING else. I got rid of all the files in that folder, and all the T3 files, so whats up with this one?

EDIT YET AGAIN: Lol, ok I got rid of the files. While I'm getting back to where I was, can anyone tell me what I did wrong in unzipping last time and how I can do it right this time?

I use something like the free version of winrar or winace, because you can Right-Click and drag the zip file into the Thief3edit folder and choose "extract here"

or, if you extract the files first to their own folder, open the folder the files are in, Select all, Ctrl-C, Open the Thief3edit folder, Ctrl-V, and choose "Yes to all" anytime it asks if you want to overwrite files.

It's odd that the files wouldn't delete, I'm assuming something had them in use, hopefully not something like a virus. Did a restart of the computer fix it?

I may be able to get it to work now. We'll see. But I need some sort of launcher program. Where can I find it? It says Komag has it over at the keep, but I can't seam to find it.

EDIT: Still nothing. What am I doing wrong? :(
Huh. I found the file I need, but its only in the unzipped version of the file.

Here's the launcher (http://www.thief-thecircle.com/download.asp?fid=841) URL.

Ok, thanks. I found it about a second before you posted. I added the file I needed in the step above from the unzipped file, only place I could find it. Hope thats ok

I got as far as to work the launcher. Isn't loading it though. It starts to load what looks like T3, then crashes.

Whats the deal with Links? I sort of understand rigid-attatchment and triggerscript but theres a wholelotta others. HUDrender, vunerability,PlayerSetupInfo, HitSpang, Ownership etc.

Any chance of someone wikiing up a reference to what they all mean? And how to use them?

I mean, HitSpang, really! Whats a HitSpang?!! :D

HitSpang is the sound a projectile makes whe it impacts. I think.

Files are still refuseing to extract, no matter what I try. Because of this, editor doesnt work. Anyone have any idea why this isn't working/how I can get it to work?

EDIT: Ok, I think its extracting properly now. We'll see.

Try building the flesh BSP, or a full build and see if that helps.

Well I should've mentioned that building, building all etc. has no effect :(
I also have no off-grid bsps

I can revert to an earlier map where this it is not happening, but then I would loose a lot of work!

Any clue as to how I fix it ... what should I be looking at, bsp, meshes ... ?

cheers

Nevermind, fixed it! :)

Seems turning either bDistanceFog or bFogZone to True in the Level Proporties messes up the selection highlight.

Could someone confirm this on another system? If so I will look at adding a note on the wiki about it ...
