I've made a map for anniversary some time ago, but I can't make it work, my 3 month break from dromed after making it doesnt help, but i checked every string file and all look in order.
Game starts, and when i press "skip training" (which shouldnt be there, more about it below) the game instantly crashes.
What i noticed tho is this, it looks like the game doesnt exactly see the map? check this screenshot

Other things, darkloader sees this map as thief 2, i had to edit its ini to recognize the zip as t1 map...
I start to fear I screwed something up with dromed itself, i use DromEd Final 1.25, installed on thief gold ofc, but i was always making thief 2 maps before (with dromed from thief 2 folder)

Don't use darkloader. Use the fan mission selector (which comes with new dark) or NewDarkloader. If that doesn't solve the issue, we can start to troubleshoot. 9 times out of 10, that's the issue.

Okie, with zip installed using FMselect, the game is vanilla, aka regular thief1 starts instead of my map.
(It's possible I made some totally rookie mistake and i forgot about some simple but crucial step, because its been like 3 months, dark mission description in mission variables is set correctly.

Looks okay. You don't need the mis_XX_next lines, but they're not causing your problem.
If you can PM me a download link, I'll be happy to try loading it here and see what's going wrong.

Upload the mission and PM me the download link. I won't test it, I just check why it wouldn't start.

It's not a competition :D
You don't have a customised newgame.str, so the buttons still read "start training" and "skip training" — but whichever one I click on launches your mission just fine.
I'm wondering if perhaps darkloader has left some files in your Thief install that are getting in the way?

:O Ill check that! hmmmm
EDIT: gee, I don't know.. when i choose skip fm, thief 1 starts with my old thief 1 saves. when i start my fm, it also plays thief 1, but saves are empty, like should be for my map. all other fms also work fine.
I also added newgame.str, game doesn't displays it
