If it needs quotes that would suggest spaces, and as myself (as brave,bold pioneer - or taffer who didnt read the tutorial right) can tell you if you have spaces you'll find the editor will have problems making conversations during mapping :)

I cant remove the quotes it shows an error if i do and can't apply changes to the shortcut, has to have quotes after .exe

where have u got the Thief3Edit directory? I have it in plain old C:\Thief3Edit the tutorial suggests C:\Games\Thief3Edit

WEREWOLF357 on 12/3/2005 at 19:58

to be honest not sure now, i uninstalled, reinstalled, patched, called the directory to be created thief3 like the tutorial says, then renamed the editor folder thief 3 Edit, they are all in program files i think

move the editor folder (Thief3Edit) to your C:\ drive and then use the launcher setting it to C:\Thief3Edit to load the editor (you dont enter the exe in there just the folder url).

It already is on my C drive

What is the full path to your Thief directiory?

WEREWOLF357 on 12/3/2005 at 20:34

C:\programfiles\Thief3, and the editor folder must be
C:\programfiles\Thief3 edit
This was advised on a tutorial and it did not matter whether they were in the directory or separate so mine are separate

Rename "Thief 3 Edit" to "Thief3Edit".
Is it "programfiles" or "Program Files"?

I suggest you put them in C:\Thief3Edit and leave Thief3 in program files.

Then use the launcher to launch the game.

so what you'll have done is:

1) uninstalled thief3 incl. all folders.

2) reinstalled and copied the directory to C:\ and renamed it to Thief3Edit (so directory will be in C:\Thief3Edit

3) Deleted the content it advises you to (except the map ones as some people need them)

4) download and use the Launcher (instead of shortcuts to the exe files themselves) setting the Editor section to: C:\Thief3Edit and the Game section to "C:\Program Files\Thief3"

5) Clicking the Editor button in the Launcher and waiting patiently (it can be slow) for T3Ed to load.
