Did not work either, my directory is in the right path where Darkloader is reading my Thief 1/Gold folder. So, maybe it's a broken fan mission.

Yeah you're absolutely right, the mission 100% broken. It's not as if the software you're using to load the mission has been outdated for years and there are far better alternatives out there.

So whoever made this fan mission should be notified to fix it and re-post it again on the Thief fan mission archives.

No, YOU should probably use another loader that actually works correctly with NewDark TG missions. Authors cannot fix something broken in another software that's not their fault.

@ mcmike
Did you change the correct type no?
The correct way of changing the type no. is to click onto the mission in darkloader, but not to play the mission, then go to your darkloader.ini and scroll all the way to the bottom where you will find the latest mission to be chosen. Once the mission is being played the mission usually also appears at the top of the .ini file, so you can often find 2 entries for your current mission. Did you change the type no. for the entry at the top of the file or for the entry at the bottom? There's no problem if there are 2 entries, just change the type no. on both entries.
But it is really best to follow Skacky's advise, use FMsel or Newdarkloader as Darkloader is very much showing its age nowadays as almost every mission made nowadays are made for Newdark, so you really need to start playing via FMsel otherwise you'll come across a number of issues with modern FM's.
Newdarkloader is basically FMsel with darkloaders user friendly interface, it was only released a year ago and you can find it(

I only changed one entry actually from type 2 to type 1. I didn't know there is another entry I had to change as well. Darkloader runs most of downloaded fan missions just fine.

Where is the entrance to the mansion? I can't find it.

I can't remember at the top of my head, sorry.

How far into the mission are you? If you've already been through the sewers there are entrances on the east side of the mansion and to the north through the garden. Otherwise you'll have to go through the sewers first, which start west of the front steps of the mansion.
