AngelLoader

Description

AngelLoader is a standalone fan mission loader for Thief 1, Thief 2, Thief 3, System Shock 2, and The Dark Mod. Unlike FMSel, which requires a separate copy for each game, AngelLoader allows you to manage and play all your FMs in one place. The interface is inspired by DarkLoader (by Björn Henke and Tom N. Harris) and NewDarkLoader (by Robin Collier).

Features

  • Manage all your FMs in one place
  • Automatically detects metadata for every FM: title, author, game, release date, etc. No need to type it in!
  • Select multiple FMs at a time to quickly mark them all finished, install them in bulk, etc.
  • Search and filter your FM collection by many criteria
  • Organize your games by tab or treat them as filters
  • Disable visual or other mods on a per-FM basis with a simple visual list (no more typing an arcane string into a textbox!)
  • Choose which language to play with on a per-FM basis
  • Import your FM information from DarkLoader, NewDarkLoader, or FMSel
  • Automatically fixes common problems, such as:
    • Non-16-bit audio causing static
    • Custom palettes not being applied properly to FMs (Ranstall Keep etc.)
    • Local values left in global config files by NewDark (character_detail)
  • Option to automatically use old mantling for OldDark missions
  • Supports light and dark themes
  • Plays nice with other loaders: AngelLoader doesn't store any .dlls or data files in your game folders, making it truly portable and non-intrusive

Installing

Simply download the latest release and unzip it to a folder of your choice. For example, C:\AngelLoader. New versions can be extracted right on top of old ones: your data files will not be overwritten.

Note: Some folders are considered "protected" (Program Files / Program Files (x86) are examples) and AngelLoader should not be placed anywhere in these folders or it may not (probably won't) work.

.NET Framework 4.7.2 or above is required. All modern versions of Windows should come with this already.

Running on Linux:

The latest version of AngelLoader runs well under Linux using Wine or Proton, with some tweaking:

  • For now, the 32-bit version is easier to get up and running and recommended. Make sure to download the version with x86 in the name from latest release.
  • You will need to install the following dependencies into your AngelLoader prefix: gdiplus, msftedit and msls31. Use either winetricks for Wine, protontricks for Proton, or add them as dependencies in Bottles if using that.

That's it! Launch AngelLoader and you're good to go.

If you did want to use the 64-bit version of AngelLoader, a few more steps are required. We need a 64-bit version of msls31.dll. The easiest way is to get it from the official IE8 installer directly from Microsoft.

  • Download IE8-WindowsServer2003-x64-ENU.exe
  • Extract the exe using Ark, 7-zip or whatever archive program your system has.
  • Copy msls31.dll from the extracted files to drive_c/windows/system32 inside your prefix, overwriting what's there.

Alternatively, if you have access to an actual Windows 10/11 install, you can grab the dll from C:\Windows\System32\msls31.dll and copy it over.

Building

  • Use Visual Studio 2022, .NET Framework 4.7.2 targeting, also going to need the C++ workload installed.
  • Use Release_Public for the standard AngelLoader build.
  • All dependencies now are either NuGet packages or are included in the bin_dependencies folder, so you should be able to just build with no fuss now.

License

AngelLoader's code is released under the MIT license, except portions which are otherwise specified in the About window and in the Licenses directory.

Statement on the Non-Use of AI

I do not use AI to generate any of my code, and in fact I don't use it in any area of my programming workflow, period. All my code is written by me. I can't vouch that third-party dependencies don't contain any AI generated code, but thankfully most of them are old enough that they probably don't, so there's that.

AngelLoader

Description
AngelLoader is a standalone fan mission loader for Thief 1, Thief 2, Thief 3, System Shock 2, and The Dark Mod. Unlike FMSel, which requires a separate copy for each game, AngelLoader allows you to manage and play all your FMs in one place. The interface is inspired by DarkLoader (by Björn Henke and Tom N. Harris) and NewDarkLoader (by Robin Collier).
Features
  • Manage all your FMs in one place
  • Automatically detects metadata for every FM: title, author, game, release date, etc. No need to type it in!
  • Select multiple FMs at a time to quickly mark them all finished, install them in bulk, etc.
  • Search and filter your FM collection by many criteria
  • Organize your games by tab or treat them as filters
  • Disable visual or other mods on a per-FM basis with a simple visual list (no more typing an arcane string into a textbox!)
  • Choose which language to play with on a per-FM basis
  • Import your FM information from DarkLoader, NewDarkLoader, or FMSel
  • Automatically fixes common problems, such as:

    • Non-16-bit audio causing static
    • Custom palettes not being applied properly to FMs (Ranstall Keep etc.)
    • Local values left in global config files by NewDark (character_detail)
  • Option to automatically use old mantling for OldDark missions
  • Supports light and dark themes
  • Plays nice with other loaders: AngelLoader doesn't store any .dlls or data files in your game folders, making it truly portable and non-intrusive
Installing
Simply download the latest release and unzip it to a folder of your choice. For example, C:\AngelLoader. New versions can be extracted right on top of old ones: your data files will not be overwritten.
Note: Some folders are considered "protected" (Program Files / Program Files (x86) are examples) and AngelLoader should not be placed anywhere in these folders or it may not (probably won't) work.
.NET Framework 4.7.2 or above is required. All modern versions of Windows should come with this already.
Running on Linux:
The latest version of AngelLoader runs well under Linux using Wine or Proton, with some tweaking:
  • For now, the 32-bit version is easier to get up and running and recommended. Make sure to download the version with x86 in the name from latest release.
  • You will need to install the following dependencies into your AngelLoader prefix: gdiplus, msftedit and msls31. Use either winetricks for Wine, protontricks for Proton, or add them as dependencies in Bottles if using that.
That's it! Launch AngelLoader and you're good to go.
If you did want to use the 64-bit version of AngelLoader, a few more steps are required. We need a 64-bit version of msls31.dll. The easiest way is to get it from the official IE8 installer directly from Microsoft.
  • Download IE8-WindowsServer2003-x64-ENU.exe
  • Extract the exe using Ark, 7-zip or whatever archive program your system has.
  • Copy msls31.dll from the extracted files to drive_c/windows/system32 inside your prefix, overwriting what's there.
Alternatively, if you have access to an actual Windows 10/11 install, you can grab the dll from C:\Windows\System32\msls31.dll and copy it over.
Building
  • Use Visual Studio 2022, .NET Framework 4.7.2 targeting, also going to need the C++ workload installed.
  • Use Release_Public for the standard AngelLoader build.
  • All dependencies now are either NuGet packages or are included in the bin_dependencies folder, so you should be able to just build with no fuss now.
License
AngelLoader's code is released under the MIT license, except portions which are otherwise specified in the About window and in the Licenses directory.
Statement on the Non-Use of AI
I do not use AI to generate any of my code, and in fact I don't use it in any area of my programming workflow, period. All my code is written by me. I can't vouch that third-party dependencies don't contain any AI generated code, but thankfully most of them are old enough that they probably don't, so there's that.
