Thief Gold HD Texture Mod

[klatremus]

Thanks for the information Voodoo. I won't bother then. I thought it was easier for some reason.

[Gecko]

Would you like to post your configs here Gecko? I'm not planning to replay Thief Gold any time soon, and I don't want to download your mod until then. But that bloom just looks fantastic!

The NewDark graphic setting tool includes all configs. You can download this tool without the HD Mod. There will be also a Thief 2 version!

Is Comodo updating for mixthoor? Comodo says the old one is 5.12.256249.2599 in November 2012,
and all new products are version 6.3.302093.2976 in November 2013, and 6.3.294583.2937 in September 2013.

Thx for info, I didn't check at their page. I will install the newest one.

BTW, Gecko - How can I deactivate the fire in fireplaces? The performance of Thief near the new fantastic flame is so low, that I almost can't play. The flame by tourches is fine.

Water arrows is the best solution.

Am I silly to assume the Tool will work for T2?

Am I silly to assume the Tool will work for T2?

(After the installation of the "NewDark Graphics Settings Tool") Open the "cam_ext.cfg" with notepad and search for the last line dark1 and delete this! Do that to your own risk...

A official Thief 2 Version will be released these days...

[klatremus]

Love the new update; especially the graphics tool. I chose config 3, due to the medium bloom setting. Still haven't decided between 50% or full color, but I think I prefer the latter. I also found mipmap -0.5 to look better on my system.

Thanks

@ klatremus

Here you can see the difference:



Images 1 - Config 3 - Full Color + Bloom

Images 1 - Config 3 - 50 % Color + Bloom

Images 2 - Config 3 - Full Color + Bloom

Images 2 - Config 3 - 50 % Color + Bloom

Images 3 - Config 3 - Full Color + Bloom

Images 3 - Config 3 - 50 % Color + Bloom

[bikerdude]

I'm still impressed by how much work you put into this Gecko, every time I pop back to this thread I see you've done something new.

[klatremus]

I agree! I ended up going with the 50% color (config 3). Seems more realistic.

I play on TV and I use screen profiles for colors, contrast, brightness. The effect is the same, I don't have to change the cam_ext.cfg file anymore

[Gecko]

Maybe color and brightness. I'm sure there is also a option for bloom FX etc. on your TV menue eh? Not really ^^

[Mixthoor]

Of course not. I activate bloom effects direct in cam_ext.cfg. The colors, contrast, brightness only in TV.

[Gecko]

was just fun.

I didn't see the mod on a TV until now! Would be nice on 50"

You're the best, Bentraxx.

New Fire Shadow Model - Preview

- original models from "PinkDot".
- original skins from "Purgator" with my new skin

[sNeaksieGarrett]

I'm sorry but I personally don't like that model. Makes the fire shadow look like some evil sorcerer rather than a mysterious creature. (Admittedly it looks cool, but I guess I think it's out of place.) Anyone else's thoughts on it?

[Gecko]

Makes the fire shadow look like some evil sorcerer rather than a mysterious creature.

That's what i want. Evil creature....



Edit: in a dark room:

[TaxAkla]

Beautiful. I like it.

[Solar Prominence]

It looks to me like a guy in a hood. I think in this case the simpler Thief Gold design is better.

New Fire Shadow Model - V2

[bikerdude]

I prefer the first one as it has nice hi-res textures on the Ai itself, and the burning stone effect was very good.

I think i will combine it with the old texture!

[Mixthoor]

In Mages Towers and Lost City I see the old lava textures. Where is the problem?
Update: OK, I copied the missing l1*.dds,l3*.dds,l4*.dds files into watrerhw from your source. I see the leava correctly.

BTW. I have to deactive the new flames in fireplaces etc. I speak about these flames http://www.ttlg.com/forums/showthrea...=1#post2234062 / http://www.image-load.net/users/Bebe...color_fire.jpg It is nearly imposible to play. I'm in the Lost City right now, I can't move, sneak, fight etc. How can I do that?
