Thief: The Black Parade - How to Install & Play Thief Mods

music: zweihander.com
store: epicpants.com
It's very easy to get Thief: The Black Parade up and running. It doesn't run on The Dark Mod, it's actually a mod for Thief Gold (not Thief II either). So, grab a copy of Thief Gold and watch this tutorial to get it working. Here's the links:

    So I followed all the instructions for this completly and when it opened the FM selecter at 6:10 the mod file wasnt there for some reason. So what I did that solved the problem for me is I clicked on options (The gear between 'Start FM' and 'Exit') and selected 'FM archive path...' from there I just manually selected Thief the Black parade from the folder we just created in the Thief gold folder. Hope this helps anyone who had a similar problem.

    hey massive thanks for the help, im a caveman when it comes to this simple software stuff; IF YOU ARE READING THIS COMMENT HERE ARE SOME TIPS - if you got Win 10 OS: be sure to have the game not installed in those fancy folders like program files or program files (x86), the game starts having all sorts of issues for some reason when on installed on those protected folders - if your install is steam start the game through the big play button on steam, for some reason launching the game from the .exe on the folder some kind of DRM kicks in and shuts the game immediatly without any error message.

I've got Thief Gold and TFix, but I haven't installed or played in years, and I hear some of your brilliant music in the background. Secrets of the Rainforest is fkg INCREDIBLE. I bookmarked your bandcamp page. I'm halfway through your alb, but if I keep listening I'll never get to sleep - it's 6:45 in the friggin' morning. How are we not already friends? Anyway, this is probably the greatest game of all time. Thanks for this channel. Thanks for your music. I hope we can connect at some point. I think there's much more that we have in common. Peace, my friend.

    I suggest playing TBP as vanilla as possible. This is because the artists kept this in mind in the design and coherence of the textures. In fact if you get AngelLoader, you can uncheck mods in the mods tab. It works the same way as fam select, where you point to where your downloaded fan missions.

    Man Thief is so good. As a whole, it does bug me how "preachy" the stealth genre is. My first stealth game was Tenchu: Wrath of Heaven, so stealth assassinating everyone is my M.O., and it bugs me that in games like Dishonored, if you start doing that - even with the power that disintegrates bodies on death, a stealth assassin's dream - the world goes to shit and weepers are everywhere and you get the bad ending. It's like "Here are all these cool powers and tools to kill people with, but don't use them!" In Thief, it doesn't bother me, because you're a thief, so you'll just get your ass kicked if you try to kill guards and such.
