I'm having trouble getting fan missions to work, it was working before, but now, it stopped for some strange reason. For example when I load the fan mission "Benny's Dead" or "Chain of Events" the game starts like normal of course, no crashes, but when I load the mission or missions, it takes me to the original Thief 2 mission "Running Interference" instead of playing the actual fan mission. What should I do and what is causing this? I was installing Thief 2x into the Thief 2 folder but maybe installing that may had caused the game to not recognize fan missions anymore instead taking me to the original game missions.:confused:

Thanks, but I believe I figured it out. I'm now using NewDarkLoader instead, the newest FM manager to run Fan missions. But now, I have a different problem, DromEd doesn't work anymore on DarkLoader, is it possible to run DromEd through NewDarkLoader? I don't see a function on how to run it on there.

You don't run Dromed through NewDarkLoader. Just double click on Dromed.exe in your Thief directory and NewDarkLoader should start up automatically.

NewDarkloader is already working. I'm talking about how to run DromEd enhanced, sorry I didn't mention this on the other post. I saw this online as a download, I'm not too sure about the installation process of this though.

now that we know for sure that you have messed your install up with oldDarkloader, a clean reinstall is even more recommended.
wonder how long is that zombie of a tool going to keep ruining people's day.
also, don't know about Dromed enhanced, but a quick search reveals that it's old enough to legally drink in many parts of the world - I suppose the idea of NOT using something so ancient in your brand spanking new v1.25 T2 install didn't cross your mind, so here you go, (

//maybe there's some sort of guide that points people to all that old junk? if so, link it so we can shoot it down.

Nevermind, I got it working now, I'm using NewDarkloader to run fan missions while I use Darkloader to run DromEd to edit fan missions. I just had to read the instructions and tweak with the game files to get it working. But, thanks! I would recommend this fix to anyone who may had been having the same problem like me. PS. I have the DromEd basic toolkit already installed, but thanks anyway.

Well, what other idea is the best way to get everything working in one application without using multiple apps to play and edit fan missions? You tell me, what is your idea then? Because, I spent hours trying to figure this out, this is something you can't do in 5 minutes! But at least it's working for me so I can't complain.

yes, because you can do it in 30 seconds - if you don't need stuff like the readme being displayed and other NewDarkloader extras, all you have to do after your T2 install is patched with NewDark is to edit cam_mod.ini and uncomment (delete the semicolon from) ;fm, and now the game will start the FMsel screen for both the game and editor exe.
done.
