Hi,

did anybody try John P. Textures with the GOG version of Thief 3?

The latest texture collection, Collective Texture Pack ver. 1.0.3, doesn't seem to work as it uses the ibt patcher. The files install with no problem but during the installation I get the following problem:

Run-time error ‘76’: Path not found

It's from the ibt patcher. Basically, due to this, the new textures do not show up in the game.

In the readme John states that in order to make it work I should just check the following string in the windows registry: HKLM "SOFTWARE\Ion Storm\Thief - Deadly Shadows" "ION_ROOT"
... and check if there are any "\" out of place.

This is the problem: I cannot find that string!

I'm running it on Windows 7 64bit and the last time I've run the game I used a Windows XP.... :P

Did anybody else have this problem?

Which folder is the GOG version installed in?
Sounds like the problem may be that it's not installed in the same folder as the disc version of the game was.

The path is: "C:\GOG Games\Thief 3

The previous installation was C:\Games\Thief 3 Deadly Shadows

I doubt it's the cause...

Are you using John P. textures on a W7 64 by any chance?

Me? I haven't even played Thief 3 yet.
But the error message indicates that the patcher is looking for the game in a specific folder, a folder in which it is not installed. I'd try uninstalling the game, and re-installing it to the default path, not the GOG path.

Gog.com was the default path. Thank you for replying, anyway. :)

For 64-bit systems, the key "ION_ROOT" is located under "HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Wow6432Node\Ion Storm\Thief - Deadly Shadows". To install the texture pack I needed to remove the last "\" from the string, i.e. "X:\path\to\Thief - Deadly Shadows" instead of "X:\path\to\Thief - Deadly Shadows\".

this worked for me to removing the last slash made the texture patcher work like a charm.
