I'm confused. We were just talking about the tweaker that snobel posted, does this link contain the tweaker or just the missions by themselves?

There's no tweaker with this FM version. The upcoming 'fat' version of the SU will contain both T3G (possibly v1.1) and the tweaker.

Has anyone else been experiencing the jump/glide/freeze bug? so many time I will go to jump on something to mantle up but then Garret will then go into glide mode. I dont remember the vanilla game doing it as much.

Ok, it has been long time since I played this mission and forgot about turning of vsync, problem solved.

Well I was greatly hoping I could play this, but for some reason I get a t3main.exe appcrash duing the first lever (after the training mission).
Basically I did this:
installed t3 from my 3 cds
installed v1.1 patch
installed SneaksyUpgrade (Which I now realize i didn't need to install v1.1. patch)
Replaced t3.exe with t3.exe from T3Ed pack
extracted t3gold into "Installed FMs"
Run t3 Fan-mission. playing game. After training mission - crash.
Anyone else have this issue, and Know what I can do for this?
EDIT: if it helps I am running W7 64bit, with an AMD Radeon R9 200 series GPU

That won't work. You have to use the FMSel loader frontend, which will restore a lot of resources from the original maps:
* Delete everything in the Installed FMs folder
* Start FMSel through the cyan desktop icon
* A dialog will ask for the FM archive path. Browse to the t3gold_1.0.7z file and select it
* The FMSel window should now show T3 Gold in the list
* To start the mission, select it in the list and click Play FM
* On the first launch it will show "Preparing FM..." for a long time, that is normal
@Beleg: Maybe these instructions should be added to the first post of the release thread? Someone on the TDM forum had similar problems.

I can add that to the release thread, but I feel a bit clueless when the note to run it as a normal FM via FMSel doesn't bring people to use FMSel (which, even without reading the documentation, should be pretty much self-explanatory) to play it. :erg:

Yeah - but I guess you're reaching an audience which has no prior experience with fanmissions.
If you're going to add the instructions, better replace the "delete everything" line with a "DO NOT extract the archive manually!" warning.

Alright now? I hope this helps for the time being, the big version of SU hopefully makes thing more user-friendly.
snobel on 10/8/2014 at 08:00
That should do it, hopefully. :)
