Guide for installing fan missions

[cookiecruncher]

I'm going to quote Trickster and PainkilleR for sharing this info here. Can't wait to get into it!

You need to use a fan mission launcher to play fan missions. When you get the game, install the unofficial patch Tfix, then go to the Thief Gold directory, open cam_mod.ini in Notepad, find the line that reads ";fm" and remove the ";" . After this, launching the game should bring up the fan mission selector FMSel. Specify where you want to store the missions you download. When you download a mission, place the zip in there and you'll be able to launch it through FMSel. There's also the alternative FM launcher NewDarkLoader which you can install if you think it looks better.

^This or add -FM to steam launch options after you install TFix. I find it easier (faster) to switch between fms and base game this way personally.

I download fan missions from here https://www.darkfate.org/view/details/fan-missions/thief1

It seems like this site has almost every fan mission that has ever existed.

P.S. Here you can find latest 20th anniversary contest missions for Thief Gold: https://www.darkfate.org/view/details/files/fan-missions/thief2/1contests/tdp20ac

You can select the base game in the FM launcher. You don't need to switch.

This also works for Thief 2 after installing Tafferpatcher. Enjoy!
