Hey guys. I've been playing T2 FMs with great success and i have a separate install of T2 for Dromed and have encountered no problems whatsoever on my XP machine. I reinstalled Thief: Gold last night (i know, it was blasphemy to remove it in the first place) but when i try to load a TDP FM via Dark Loader the game starts giving me an error even before the menu shows.
If i run the OMs it's ok, as long as i don't click that "Optimize TDP install?" button, because that messes up the whole instalation and gives me the same error for the OMs as well.
I'm using Thief: Gold and tried loading Calendra's Cistern. I've loaded WeiDu's graphics fix and the Widescreen mod.

Don't worry that you have XP, it's likely a similar problem with the cfg file getting hosed.
If that doesn't sort you out, then optimize through Darkloader and then post here the contents of your
install.cfg file. If you don't optimize, I don't think you'll be able to play FMs through Darkloader.

Thank you my good taffer! Twas indeed the accursed install.cfg, although i did also add the always_play_intro line to cam.cfg
For anyone else having this problem and searching the forum, this is what i pasted in my install.cfg file:
Quote:
install_path D:\games\ThiefG
language english
resname_base D:\Games\ThiefG\RES+D:\games\ThiefG
load_path D:\games\ThiefG
script_module_path D:\games\ThiefG
movie_path D:\games\ThiefG\movies
Don't forget the blank line at the end. Myth.

Glad you fixed it! Just for the record, though, someone else should replace your path info with their own, of course.
