Thank you taffers for a great work! Now it's time for a FMs... or TMA... or T2X... lol

–- TG Nameless Voice’s Scripts v1.2.3

Why did you use NVscript for this?

[Mixthoor]

Are they already included? In this folder: ;uber_mod_path OSM ?

[Yandros]

I would think neither Gaylesaver's nor NV's scripts are required to play the OMs, although it's possible TFix uses them now to fix bugs - voodoo would have to confirm that though.

[voodoo47]

TFix autoloads the latest NVscript and public script for any OM or FM, and also overrides any old version of those scripts that might be bundled in FMs. NVscript is used in the candle mod, public script fixes the infamous "TFix made the AIs oversensitive" issue.

been doing this for a while now.

[SeriousToni]

Ah okay thank you for clarification

[Psychomorph]

Great work, thanks so much.

I have a question to the lightmapped water. is there aw ay to tweak it, by reducing the lightmapped effect a bit?
I like how the water looks in the HD mod, but of course it looked fake in the dark in the previous versions. 1.0 fixes this, but makes the water too dark and the texture way to transparent. I'd still like to see a shimmering surface effect on water, even in the dark, just less than if lit out, so I'd like to reduce the transparency a bit.

And while at that, is there a way to make the view under water darker as well? Right now it is way to bright under water.

Some more minor customizations could be somehow included, perhaps in new dark? For instance I use the line "inv_status_height 0" in user.cfg, it moves the HUD lower so I can still see see the inventory, but have no other stuff. Also I'd love to try playing without highlighted objects (when you look at usable object), is there a way to somehow deactivate that?

Hey, you've seen these movies with HDMod? (probably not with v1.0)

One thing to be corrected is that Paint19 is called Pain19 (yes I know that's for Thief2 and she reminds of Messi...)

[SeriousToni]

Who is this guy on the portrait / painting, when Garret sais: "Well since I'm here, I might pick up something for myself as well." in the Lord Bafford video?

Thief - Tools of the Trade (HD Mod Version)


The HD Mod for the non-gold version (Thief: The Dark Project) will be released in december 2015

[Cigam]

Hello. Look forward to replaying TG soon with this mod, but I have some queries if anyone can help.

The graphics tool offers AA up to 16x - which form of AA is this? Not multisampling presumably?

What about anisotropic filtering? Is it OK to force it in NvidiaCP or is it already on by default?

Most importantly, I am not sure what ATOC is. Since I have a Nvidia card that does not mention SSAA in NCP, would enabling this enable something like an alternative AA method?

Sorry if these are newbie questions but I have read the readme and the OP and not sure these are covered.

TIA.

[Gecko]

It is multisampling (anti-aliasing) but i have no experiences with nVidia cards.

Infotext from the "cam_ext.cfg" file:
; for nVidia cards that support SSAA this can be enabled instead (slightly better quality at the expense of
; performance)
disp_enable_atoc 2

News:

- Firewall demonstration

VIDEO - New smoke and fire effects

[Gecko]

- New gas arrow cloud
- New water effect
- New electricity effect
- A new fire effect for the "Fire Shadow"

VIDEO - New gas arrow cloud and some more effects (Demo)

[SeriousToni]

I really love the gas arrow and the waterfall, nice work there!
However I think there is a seam / gap error in the middle of the electricity sprite where the sprite gets cut off and starts new.
Also the problem with the HD sprites is, that they can feel repetitive because of the many details you now can see. What I mean you can see perfectly at the fireshadow. You can clearly notice that its four times the same sprite starting at the same time, which is not so nice to see.

[bikerdude]

I see thats the smoke effect from the darkmod, I assume they have been credited.

[Gecko]

@SeriousToni

Thank you for your critic!


@bikerdude

How can you say that it's from the darkmod? I've created this effect by myself. If you are interested in...i can tell you and show you how

[kokobollo]

wow, I love your new effects
especially "Fire Shadow" looks really cool now
gas arrow effect need to be more stereoscopic imo
but still looks cool as it is

I´m planning to replay Thief Gold with this mod, any suggestions which other mods to use? Also is the installation of EP2 still necessary?

The HD Mod for the non-gold version (Thief: The Dark Project) will be released in december 2015

Only one day left...

[Gecko]

A short explanation.

It was planned to release the non-Gold version in december 2015. Now it's the 31th december and it's not finished yet. I'm currently working on T2 HD mod v1.0 and also on new effects for TG. I will not release an uncomplete non-Gold version. So you have to wait a bit. At the moment i'm very busy at work and i don't have much time to work on the HD mods. I hope you understand this situation. I will try to release the Thief non-Gold version, an TG update and the T2 HD v1.0 as soon as possible.

I wish you all a HAPPY NEW YEAR And i think 2015 was a great year for Thief We will see what the New Year will bring

[klatremus]

In Escape! the flames on the first staircase/caves don't seem right to me. I can see the solid fire elements in the middle of the flame, instead of it being all gaseous. Sorry for the poor explanation, and I can't post a screen right now.

Edit: The torches seem like they have the same problem. It's definitely on my end and hopefully a quick fix. Thanks!
