Would it be possible for you to provide me your copy of the FM so I can test it? All archives from the links in the original post correctly detect as TG for me (the Southquarter link is down though, so couldn't test that).

That one works fine for me too.
There is one situation in which AngelLoader could misdetect an FM's game, and that's if you already have the FM installed in the wrong game's installed-FMs folder before starting AngelLoader. On startup, AngelLoader will mark all FMs it finds installed in each game's installed-FMs folder as being for that game. This is actually why your workaround works - it sees the installed FM in the correct game's installed-FMs folder, and marks its game type correctly.
I don't know if you did have it already installed in the wrong game's folder, but if you did, what you can do to fix it is right-click the FM and click "Uninstall FM", then right-click it again and click "Scan FM". Now it should detect the game properly.
If not, please let me know so we can continue troubleshooting.

Sorry, forgot to get back to you.
I did what you suggested and it worked just fine. Thank you very much for your help. I assume that FMSel made an error before and thought this was a T2 FM which is why I had it installed in Thief 2 and Angelloader must have just picked up the suggestion afterwards.
I have finished the missions by now and have to say that it's one of the greats. I didn't have the time to find all the chess pieces but tried to do as much as possible in both missions. Thanks for a grand time!

Good to hear! :)

I guess I'm a bit thick, but...
I'm at the point in the second mission now where you put the tablet onto the plate in the courtyard. A secret compartment opens with a scroll, which tells you the location of the five statues where the five "aspects" are suppoed to be. I already found those statues earlier, and they all have some kind of compartment which seems to be openable with a key. I have no idea which key that is suppoed to be though. I'd really appreciate a hint. Seems that I'm the only person in this thread who ever had this question...
Oh, and as we're at it... there was also talk here of a "winter area" of the dining room. I didn't find that either, but, I found a hint on that in one of the readables as well. No idea where that could be either.

Have you been to the owners office yet? Search it well. Hope this helps.
chk772 on 29/12/2023 at 18:36
Thank you, I will do that. I've been there, but, only found his journal. Probably have to search more thoroughly (gamma is really low on this mission...).
Edit: Was exactly the right info (and exactly the right kind of hint I needed to still have to search, but at least know where remotely I should look). ;) Thanks again.

And... finished. Seriously, hands down one of the best, if not THE best FM I ever played for Thief Gold or Thief 2. Perfect in almost every regard. The only thing I'd really criticize is that it's too dark. I get it, it's what the authors were going for, stylistically, but, it's just too dark in most place.
