@ DJ Riff
It's important that NewDark v1.26 is added to the Tafferpatcher. The release of T2 HD mod 1.0 is at the end of this month. Is it maybe possible that you add the new version in coming days? That would be great.

I usually do not update Thief 2 unless it is included in the latest TafferPatcher installer. Is this going to happen any time soon? I will stick with 1.25 until then.

Honestly don't remember how to install version 1.26 with TafferPatcher. Please help :confused:

* Install 1.25 as normal using tafferpatcher
* BACK UP YOUR THIEF2 DIRECTORY!
* Make another folder somewhere called 'NewDark'
* Download the (
http://www.taffersparadise.co.uk/thieffiles/thief2-nd-v26-update.zip) 1.26 archive into the NewDark folder
* Extract the thief2-nd-v26-update.zip archive. This will usually result in a new 'thief2-nd-v26-update' folder containing a number of additional zip files.
* Extract the new_dark.zip and contrib.zip archives
* You remember that backup you made earlier? If you didn't make it, make it now.
* go into the new_dark folder, select Thief2.exe, and drag and drop it into your Thief2 directory. When prompted, confirm replacing the file. If you don't get prompted to replace files, you've dropped the file in the wrong place (I think it's safe to skip copying the cam_ext and cam_mod files, and using the ones Tafferpatcher set up)
* go into the contrib folder, select all the files, and drag and drop them into your Thief2 directory. Again, confirm replacing files.
* Edit the cam_mod.ini file in your Thief2 directory (I recommend using notepad++ to do this) and ensure that there is no ; at the start of line 10 to enable fmsel
* Start Thief2, you should now get the fmsel window showing 1.26 as the version number in the title bar.
If any any time anything doesn't seem to work, restore your backup.

The Watcher: Did all that, but once I play the game itself I still get empty space where there should be walls or floors...

So I might have screwed up. T2 was working great with Tafferpatcher but then I installed T1 TDP and TFix_1.26a. What I accidentally did was to open Tafferpatcher and change the root directory to Thief 1 and then back to T2 once I realized that that wasn't a good idea. Not sure if I just need to reinstall all of T2 and Tafferpatcher at this point. Any suggestions on how to fix this would be great.

mxleader, I tried to replicate that situation yesterday, but "my" Tafferpatcher reacted differently. It gave a warning when I tried to direct it to the T2 NewDark install, and shortly after refused to cooperate at all. Apparently, it is unforeseeable what Tafferpatcher does in such situations, and I would suggest a complete reinstall or restoring a backup. I did the latter, since I expected trouble with this experiment and prepared a backup just before messing around with things.

I managed to get the basic fan mission selector to work for now but I think you are right that I'll have to do a reinstall.

Since starting to use this I have noticed a couple of times when I am crouched down in shadows and an ai notices me next to it, it's hit force me to fly 10 to 15 feet away with little damage. Whats up, something new?
