hey guys,
recently gotten back into editing. Got a new computer with a duel core processor and initially had problems running t3. I wrote up the 'processor.bat' file so that thief would only use one of the 2 processors and that fixed the problem.
i then went through the whole process of setting up the editor. However, when I go into the map everything jumps around really strangely. There's a lot of flashing and garrett just seems to float through things. Its quite bizzare.
I figure this has to do with the game using the duel processors but I'm not sure which .exe files I'd need to edit in the processor.bat file for the T3Edit folder to fix the problem. I tried T3, T3Main and T3Ed... didn't do anything.
Suggestions?

You could go into Task Manager and go to Set Affinity... to make sure it's only running on one processor.
Also, duel = fighting with swords, dual = when there's two of something.

Try starting the game first and as soon as it is started hit ctr+alt+del once to go to task manager. In task manager choose the "processes" tab, find your T3 processes and right click on them, choose "set affinity" from the context menu and look to see whether both processors have check marks next to them. If they do, uncheck one of them. If only one processor is checked then that would not seem to be the problem.

Do you have the latest Thief Launcher (the one with four buttons) to change between the registry files (or whatever it does exactly)? Both T3Ed and TDS do strange things if the settings are vice-versa.

well i've solved the problem...
on the ttlg 'thief series FAQ' thread above it suggests if you're on a duAl processor to follow salvage's guide for both t3.exe and T3Main.exe. Firstly, I had problems getting it to work on the normal game for t3.exe
Writing the .bat file without t3.exe works perfectly for me, and rather just writing it for T3Main.exe. I did exactly the same for the editor folder i.e. I wrote out the "processor.bat" file as follows:
imagecfg -u T3Main.exe
imagecfg -u T3Main.icd
imagecfg -a 0x1 T3Main.exe
imagecfg -a 0x1 T3Main.icd
pause
that seems to have it working. Hopefully it carries on.
Cheers
