Black plane on opening doors and hatches Thread - Thief 2 HD Texture Mod for Thief II: The Metal Age

I found several points in the Bank mission where I see a black wall when I open the door to the big hall or the hatchet from the basement / cellar and the hatchet with the buttons to press to open the safe room so i cannot press any buttons with the HD mod.

and here is the original version without HDMod

Okay here comes the Big Hall with black wall

and here without that black curtain without HDMod

Now coming to the hatchet underground.

and the Original

I had this issue, too... for the door in 'Shipping & Receiving' mission going from inside a big warehouse to out where the ship is. (Was black when inside looking out; and then when outside looking in.) I have a feeling it happened for me after I tried updating to T2Fix 1.27d to get NewDark 1.27 without uninstalling anything. I didn't uninstall HDMod before attempting the update, as I was hoping everything would just update and get along okay afterward. Don't think it worked.

The only other cause I can think of that maybe caused the issue is I started playing a Fan Mission (Death's Cold Embrace) for the first time with my recent installation, using New Dark Loader (https://www.ttlg.com/forums/showthread.php?t=146917). I had to disable mods via that New Dark Loader tool. Maybe trying to play Thief 2 again instead of mod via the fan mission loader didn't configure things however it needed.

Either way, to fix, I:

1. Uninstalled HDMod
2. Installed T2Fix 1.27d (https://www.ttlg.com/forums/showthread.php?t=149669)
3. Re-installed HDMod v1.0

All seemed to be well after that (so far). At least the black door was fixed

I did not need to fully uninstall Thief 2 or anything drastic like that. Maybe make a note of your HDMod, NewDark, and Water settings before you do this, just in case you need to re-do them how you like. In my case, I think my settings were remembered.

I haven't yet tried to launch New Dark Loader or the fan mission again yet. But I'm happy the black door is fixed, anyways.

Oh, FYI, I had v1.26 of New Dark prior to all this. I simply wanted to get to v1.27, so was hoping the T2Fix 1.27d installer would figure things out on its own, and that HD Mod would continue working after the update. It seems a little odd to have to, essentially, re-install both... but it's okay

PS: If you're curious what version of New Dark you have, right-mouse button on your Thief2.exe file and select Properties. Then on the Details tab, the Product Version seems to indicate the New Dark version. Sadly, after all of my work above, I was still on v1.26, because the HD Mod installs v1.26 I need to find out how to prevent HD Mod from installing 1.26 sometime.

EDIT: Oh yeah, I might have done a reboot after uninstalling HD Mod, to try to help cleanse my system of those files
