Just to clarify Dark Mod was based on Doom 3, rather than Quake 3. It's now fully free and standalone and there are hours of high quality missions available for it.
I didn't even know that I said Quake 3 until you just mentioned it... my brain was totally thinking Doom 3, but I've been playing Quake lately, lol. oops! Got a favorite mission?
Big thanks for this. Been a while since I got back into Thief 1 & 2 and all the fan missions, and now I've installed the lot for both, including the Black Parade 😃
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.
I followed your steps and everything is working perfectly, I've never played any of the games, so I decided to start with this mod, I hope I can understand the game.
Thanks for this! I was fine up until the fm directory thing. I just extracted the BP files into the thief directory and though the fm just wanted to know where the game was installed. Nope haha! Got it up and working with your instructions. Cant wait to play this!

For a game that's over 25 years old now, it's quite an accomplishment that the Thief series today continues to grow and keep the legacy of Garrett going forward with new missions to play since the last Thief game released back in 2014 which sadly kinda killed the Thief franchise and thus have not heard anything new about a possible fifth Thief game in the works because the last game studio to make the fourth Thief game was a huge disappointment and boy did it fall flat on it's face after launch.
Godammit. Thief is my all-time favorite game. I think I wrote a note to myself to get this - unless it's new. 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.
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.
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.
Hi, thanks for making this, huge Thief fan from the start, got it up and running, but noticed in video settings that cant go higher than 600 x 800. Is there a seperate HD mod or should this be working?
How do you have Black Parade in the form of a single file? When I download it using win.rar, it becomes an archive of a bunch of folders containing the individual files. No matter what I do, nothing shows up when I open FMSel.
Hey, tried it, and everything seems to work, but when I started it up, it was all black, and then minimized. If I click on it again, the screen goes black like it is going full screen and I can hear it, but then it minimizes again.
hi, i followed all your steps, i started thief gold, it detected the black parade, so i installed it as you did. the game started. i watched the intro for the first mission, then when i clicked continue to start the first mission, after a few seconds it crashed to desktop and said the game had stopped working? any ideas?
I don't really know if this is the right place to ask, but I got the game back just to play this mod. Every time I open a note/document/letter in the game, it instantly closes again, and I really can't find a solution or anyone else asking about this problem elsewhere
Hi Man, thanks for the great video. Do you know if it's possible to run the base game and mods like this one on the Steam Deck? I'd assume you'd be able to but having an installer for it might make things difficult because of the proton OS. Thanks in advance!
@@Slochy Haven't tried yet but thanks! I got my deck yesterday and I've been setting up emulation and stuff. Gonna try this out when I get a minute, but man am I happy with my purchase!
ok so i got this to work, the only thing i didn't get was when you finally click ' Thief ' to run it and open up the FM selector, instead of saying ' Exe ' mine just says Thief and when trying to do an Archive path, it just gives me a blank file name to ' open ' and not save or create, either way i went into the Gold folder and made a folder titled ' FMSL ' fan mission selector, clicked on it, clicked on ' the black parade ' and it came up and installed, runs fine as of now.
I'll need to back up my saves, delete and re-install Thief Gold to get rid of all of my sound enhancement and HD texture packs before I try this. I mostly prefer the original art anyway, so I guess it's kind of a good thing the Black Parade doesn't support these.
This did not work for me. Shame there isn't an executable file that does all this for you. Oh well there are plenty of games that do work without having to screw around...
dude, Thief Gold is only 5 bucks on Steam. Buying it is so worth it to be able to play The Black Parade. But, it is still possible to play TBP if you only have The Dark Project. Either way, the required patches will first need to be applied.
Helpful guides like this, are hard to come by... thank you for this!!
Never played Thief but commenting for the algorithm to help this channel out
Missing out! They are some of the best games out there if you don’t mind some dated graphics/gameplay
Thank you I would never have made it without this guide. 😊

@@teksyndicate Iris is simply fantastic. I wholeheartedly recommend it.
The dark mod was free since the Beginning 🤷🏼♂️
It required you own a copy of Doom III when it started.
@@JonathosDX But that doesn't make the mod itself chargeable. Besides, that (doomIII) was only the case at the beginning and that was many years ago.
Great job on this, didn't realise there were so many steps for getting this mod to work. Haven't played T/T2 in YEARS
Big thanks for this. Been a while since I got back into Thief 1 & 2 and all the fan missions, and now I've installed the lot for both, including the Black Parade 😃
Thank you very much, as helpful as those long blog guides are, I am much too lazy to read them so this made it much easier.

Thank you friend! I was stuck at this problem for awhile.
thank you , he did not mention this
When I was... A young boy... My father.....
BLOCKED AND REPORTED!
Took me into the sewers...
@@easymodewhat does this mean what he wrote and sehr means your reply?

It's a song. Look up those lyrics if you dare
Thank you, simple easy and straight to the point. Now waiting for weekends to play this mod!
I followed your steps and everything is working perfectly, I've never played any of the games, so I decided to start with this mod, I hope I can understand the game.
Thanks for taking the time make this quick and easy guide. Appreciate it!

Hey man, thanks for the guide, worked like a charm!
Thanks for the vid, super helpful. So cool to finally have another Thief game after all these years.
Brother is delivering his piece with a stony serious expression while also playing on a ray tube monitor in the year 2023.
This mod is luxurious! If I didn´t know about Deadly shadows and newest Thief, I sould say it´s Thief 3 :)
Thanks, really helpful tutorial!
Haven't played the original for some years now, but now it's time again for some Black Parade.
Cheers guy. This made life much easier for me.
God this is so beautiful and simple, God bless your soul.
I haven't seen such a simple and well-told guide for a long time.❤
This made this very easy. I wholeheartedly appreciate it.

Great job on this guide, I appreciate it!
Thank you! It worked fine. A useful tip: start thief via gog/steam/etc only, not via exe.
GOG let's you download the install files so you don't need the GOG launcher. In that case you would launch via the exe.
I grew up with this.. Thank you o much. Looking forward to this mod.
This was incredibly helpful. Thank you
Awesome, good luck Logan to your endeavours, thanks for this.

Now we just need loot lists for this. I missed a good chunk of loot in every level.
Man, thank you so much! I'm going to try it
Thanks for tutorial. Liked very much yoor old monitor.

Is it possible using that FM select to install fan missions for thief 2. By the way, thank you so much for guide for dark parade it works beautifully!
Is there a way to turn on subtitles (for NPCs, in-game, FMVs, etc.) for this mod?

Maybe you've already tried it, but it's working just fine on the Deck using this video's tutorial.

@@thegrimreaper7 Enjoy, mate! It's a marvelous device. Just poke me in case any issues arise.
You are a hero, thank you!!
I thought that The Black Parade wasn't setup for EAX?
not working for me, getting Silver_lewt(2) instead of the blackparade lol
trying this again, i had Thief Gold FM selector, but it got removed when i reinstalled thief gold
ok so i got this to work, the only thing i didn't get was when you finally click ' Thief ' to run it and open up the FM selector, instead of saying ' Exe ' mine just says Thief and when trying to do an Archive path, it just gives me a blank file name to ' open ' and not save or create, either way i went into the Gold folder and made a folder titled ' FMSL ' fan mission selector, clicked on it, clicked on ' the black parade ' and it came up and installed, runs fine as of now.
Thanks for this dude
Thank you. Good guide :)
Where is the reaction video ot the GTA 6 trailer Logan? :D
wait... is this the dude from teksyndicate? I thought they all disappeared after all their drama went down.
Please anybody try it out on steamdeck? Anybody can help how drag Black parade on Steam deck please?
great vid, thanks bro
wow goat with the sauce fr
Very helpful thanks!
it installs the mod every time?
I'll need to back up my saves, delete and re-install Thief Gold to get rid of all of my sound enhancement and HD texture packs before I try this. I mostly prefer the original art anyway, so I guess it's kind of a good thing the Black Parade doesn't support these.
I just reinstalled, got rid of the previous mods and my og savefiles where still there.
Thanks for the help
I so wish to play this but... will no spider mods work with this? 😂
Thank you!
Thank you so much !
Thank you a lot
Thanks taffer
This did not work for me. Shame there isn't an executable file that does all this for you. Oh well there are plenty of games that do work without having to screw around...
It was certainly designed for CRT, looks like trash on my OLED.
I've been struggling with this because some other idiot on youtube said I need to extract the black parade file. Don't do that.
Gog don’t like me :(
i dont remember making this comment but modding makes me nervous af lmao
Can't a guy nap around here? lol

Oh. It's for Thief Gold ONLY. That's a shame. The community spent 20 years telling us that Thief Gold is a cash grab pile of garbage.
dude, Thief Gold is only 5 bucks on Steam. Buying it is so worth it to be able to play The Black Parade. But, it is still possible to play TBP if you only have The Dark Project. Either way, the required patches will first need to be applied.
