I recently installed TDP and TFIX patch on a new laptop so I get the advantage of New Dark. When I tried to play a TG mission, I remembered you have to install a TG patch to be able to play TG FM's when you are running on TDP (been a long time since I had to worry about it). My question is - can I run the TG patch now (which will probably overwrite some of the files like the .gam file) or do I have to reinstall TDP, the TG patch and they TFIX? I assume I have to reinstall.
Thanks

this will probably break the install. extract the patch manually (7zip can do this) and drop the files into the USERMODS folder, that should work.
note: better T1 support is on the TFix to do list.

Thanks voodoo. I did that but noticed something strange when I open Darkloader. When I click on TDP missions, I can cllick on play to load the mission. WHen I highlight a TG mission, the "play" button is grayed out and I can't click on it. Also, the little icon that is beside each mission (under the game column) shows a T2 icon beside the TG missions. I must be missing someting obvious. TDP missions work fine.
Was thinking about cold beer and a TG mission for Friday night!
Thanks

darkloader might be confused by the fact T2 engine is being used. I would recommend switching to fmsel - edit cam_mod.ini, and remove the ; from the ;fm line. run thief.exe, you should get a prompt to create the FMs folder. click yes, and exit. now drop the FM into the FMs folder, run thief.exe, double click the FM, and it should load.

It worked and I can now run FM's from NewDark but the TG missions are really dark, almost impossible to see at all. I tried running a TDP FM and it looks fine. I can only conclude that I have to reinstall TDP, run the TG patch then run TFIX patch. Hopefully that will work.

Hello there!
I got a little problem guys, so I hope you'll be able to help me : I installed TFIX for Thief Gold, and everything sounds okay... except for The Sword mission. I tried whatever I could (editing the Missflag file, the Titles, using an other .mis), the game just crashes once I click on CONTINUE after the briefing, before the clock hand on the left reaches the green. I tried to begin at the Haunted cathedral mission and play until I reach Maw of Chaos: all is good, only The Sword crashes. Do you know what I could do? Thank you in advance :D

you should have a crash.dmp and thief.log files in your Thief folder. zip them, upload to some filehosting service, and post the link.
//try renaming the MOVIES folder, maybe the game bites the dust on a damaged movie file.

Alright, I finally fixed the problem myself! :angel:
Actually, it's just because my game was not in english, but in french... (I had translated my Thief Gold in French).
Now, after I had reinstalled my TG, it works ;)
So, I think that I can proceed to translate it again and peacefuly! B)

french version should be supported, unless you modified the files yourself in some improper way.
FireMage on 13/7/2013 at 11:17
The installation of TFIX I suppose...
Know that Thief Gold does not exist in French anymore, Thief: The Dark Project only.
My translation was like a mod I think, then it didn't worked...
But it's fixed now, so, don't worry! :cool:
Also, I got another request: TFIX said that Dromed shall be upgraded, but it wasn't...:nono:
Then I create TG fun missions with a Dromed that didn't match to the main game renderer...
For example: I put a door that slide underwater.
In game with dromed, the door can be opened, but In the real game, the door didn't move...
How could I upgrade Dromed?
Taking Dromed toolkit and New Dromed from Thief2?
Or something else?
