Did you install Thief in a secured folder? Then move it and install TP again.

It'll be noticed in the main thread so I'm going to move it there - just to keep things tidy. And it helps when others are trying to resolve similar problems if they've only got one thread to search. :)

Sorry about that. Thanks for moving over here man!

I'm not sure. Its just in the steam apps common folder. It was there when I used Tafferpatcher the last time, and it worked.

No problem, MediYogurt. Try these (http://www.ttlg.com/forums/showthread.php?t=133946#installdigital) instructions for a Steam release. It may or may not resolve the problem (even though it all worked before) but it's a good place to start.

Hi, new user to this forum (been lurking though) and I had to register because I have couple of issues I haven't found solution yet.
Firstly, thanks to Tafferpatcher author and all who contributed. I first got back to thieving after noticing all the good stuff for Thief 1 (Gold).
Played it through with all new gimmicks and had zero problems. I was really thrilled after seeing most of the same stuff also exists for Thief 2.
Which brings me to my current problem. I had zero problems till mission "First city bank and trust".

In this mission however I suffer from strange anomalies... for example, I suddendly loose ability to shoot arrows. I regain it by saving and reloading game.
Also, occasionally when tossing a mine, it drops ALL of my inventory items, even the compass is on the ground piled up with rest of my stuff.
Needless to say, this is a "load game" situation.
Also, shooting moss arrows occasionally doesn't do anything. I dunno if these are bugs from original game or if I messed something up.
But with all the patches installed by Tafferpatcher one would think these kind of things would be sorted.

I did try to follow installation instructions to the letter, did I screw something up after all?

(My Tafferpatcher is latest, TafferPatcher_TMA_217_beta.exe) and did a fresh install from original CD's.

My guess is that a script (gen.osm) doesn't work correctly any more or a savegame is corrupted for some reasons.
1. Restart the mission and try again
2. Replace gen.osm

3. Quicksave as soon as the bug occurs. Upload the quicksave and post a link. I can load it in DromEd.

Update.

Version 2.0.18.

— NewDark 1.25
— Fixed a bug where selecting "Add Resource and Mission Patches" from the Presets List actually did not actually activate the resource patch in the list. (LOL)
— Fixed a bug with determining the version of FM scripts (didn't affect anything, just kept reinstalling them what it was non needed).

Nice, nice. I really prefer running an installer which gives me choices in menus over manually installing files, so TafferPatcher (and its cousin TFix) are always welcome here.:thumb:
