GarrettLoader allows you to play Fan Missions and Maps for the following games:
Thief 1,
Thief Gold,
Thief 2,
Thief 3,
System Shock 2
The Dark Mod (including original Doom 3)
Also version 1.31 supports hundreds of other games through the use of reference files...that you can create yourself or download. See Custom Game Support for more information, by default GarrettLoader comes with reference files for Half Life 1 (HL1) Half Life 2 (HL2) and Deus Ex (DX1).
GarrettLoader has a vast amount of features within it designed to make your FM playing and making easier. These include:
- Scores system - allows you to score each FM and upload to a group scores system....which you can then download again to get the average score for an FM
- Review/notes - allows you to record notes and/or reviews about each FM...I use it to tell me just how much loot I missed
.
- Tools System - allows you to 'Plug In' other exes into GarrettLoader. This then gives you a more central location to run Thief related stuff from.
- Built In Tools - there are various tools build in, rangeing from an Authors tool to re-registration video codec's to a Game Diagnostic tool.
- Safe HTML readme's - GarrettLoader can convert Rich Text Files (RTF) and text files (TXT) into HTML on the fly, and can even use some of the resources from the FM zip to enhance the converted readme even more.
- Thief Deadly Shadows Support - Now here's the important one, with the release of the Thief DS game editor, FM's could effectively only be played if you had the editor installed. GarrettLoader now allows you to play Thief 3 FM's as simply as you do Thief 1 and 2.
GarrettLoader is highly customisable so you can use it just how you like, change it to lite mode and use a very simple interface, go advanced and open up loads more functionality.
