Thanks, Yandros.
More specifically, it would skip the first letter of the archetype name, but only if you didn't specify a maximum distance.

Oops. I fixed the links.
A basic technical question: how exactly do I install NVScript? Do I just place nvscript.osm in the [D:\Whatever\Thief 2] directory, or do I need to do something else as well?
I'm asking because I did a reinstall of T2 last year, so now it's missing pretty much every optional bell and whistle except for NewDark 1.27 and a copy of squirrel.osm in the game directory. I'm having probably scripting-related malfunctions in an FM and I suspect it might be because I don't have NVScript. However, the last time I've installed it must have been close to a decade ago, I no longer remember how I did it back then, and this thread doesn't seem to say so. Hence the question.
Yes, it can go in your T2 directory.
You will also want tnhScript (1st link here: https://dromed.whoopdedo.org/tnhscript/index - you only need to extract the two .osm files and "dh2.osl")
Also Telliamed's rewrite of script.osm: https://dromed.whoopdedo.org/public_scripts/index - one of the 'script...osm files', depends on which game, renamed to 'script.osm' after extracting. The included 'version.osm' looks like it's the same for both downloads.
If this is just for playing FMs, the above should be sufficient.
Sometimes FMs include their own copies of the required scripts, which is both good and bad. Good if the player doesn't already have them, bad if the FM is using an older version which doesn't work on newer computers, but that's only worth investigating if you still have problems.
Thanks!
That actually helped at least partially fix the thing. Will continue pursuing this in the specific FM's thread, but this was already helpful!
