Let's hope it's that simple. I'll have a look at adding an install integrity checking function to the tweaker, it could be handy some times.
Do you have an ETA on the next T3G update?
I've fixed all reported bugs as far as possible, so unless I tackle the Inn mission now, things are done. Oh, and the briefing videos, which isn't hard, it just makes sense only when the material is there. I'll try fiddling with the triggering of the Inn briefing video first.
OK, thanks. Sounds like I should be dusting off the tweaker and the 'fat' installer, then...
Awesome! I can't wait to get a hold of it. =) I've been holding off doing more testing until the next build is released.
Apparently using scripts in the Entry map doesn't work, so that option's out for squeezing in a pre-Inn mission briefing video. I'll see if there is anything else I can do, if not it's the workaround for us. I'll try some work on the Inn afterwards while snobel's busy with the tweaker.
Edit: Messing with the info actors in the Inn map didn't help, either. In fact even a script that was supposed to fire the bik file at start-up didn't work. I'm still convinced that I can have it play at the start of the map but that wouldn't be the ideal solution either. I'm not sure if it's worth adding a fake map before the Inn mission whose sole purpose is to play the briefing video. It could probably be done but I cannot predict if this causes some havoc regarding the game day progression or something else.

Small update: snobel has now all updated maps for testing. I fear I won't manage to fix the Inn map before the next Sneaky Upgrade version is out (just too much to do at work), but it's right there on my list.
Are you testing the maps internally, or is there a link you could provide so I could have a look?
A 'fat' beta containing T3G 1.1, MP, John P and the tweak tool will be available soon - Sunday most likely.
Sounds great. Now there was this thing about adding briefing videos... oops, it might be that either the Pagan or Hammerite intro mission trigger a bik video once you frob the glyph leading to the missions. I'm afraid I didn't take this out again.
If the corresponding video file is not found, then it's just silently ignored, isn't it? If so, then there's no harm in leaving it in.
It's one of the video files which are present in TDS anyway, so it will show up. I might take it out unless we get a bunch of brand new briefing videos before late.
Ah, OK.Would probably be better to use the intended final names in the maps and make copies of stock videos under those names for testing. That way the videos could be added in later.
The fat beta is here, including T3G 1.1 alpha prepared for briefing videos... Note that by default all three mods will be installed but not activated - you can activate them either in the installer or in the SneakyTweaker tool afterwards. As stated elsewhere the installer will verify the integrity of the T3G map files after filling in the stock resources - if you get an error about this you'll probably need to reinstall the game.
More systematic testing is needed, but for the purpose of further T3G testing it should be OK. Enabling John P's textures and/or the Minimalist Project should not influence T3G testing, but if you find bugs it's better to check that they can be reproduced with the other two mods switched off, just to be sure.
Apart from the inclusion of mods and the SneakyTweaker tool there's not much new stuff here - the SU has gained an IntroMovie tweak, which was needed for T3G, and T3 specific FM preparation has moved from FMSel to the game, which is why you'll see a "Preparing FM..." message on the loading screen sometimes. Some options have been removed from the installer, now that the tweaker can be used to set them up. The SU readme file hasn't been updated yet.
Having T3G set up as a mod by the installer instead of playing it as an FM means there's some minor changes: You enable it in SneakyTweaker and launch it using the normal (yellow) icon. Savegames go into a "SaveGames-Gold" folder next to the normal "SaveGames" for the original game - i.e. not into a subfolder of the mod, as is the case for FMs.
If you try this out and find weirdness, please report it. If you try this out and don't find weirdness, please report that too...

Aye aye, sir!Originally Posted by snobel
Question!
Can you explain in detail how your mouse fixes work? Thanks!
Why not simply expose the "MouseSensitivity" entry in default.ini?

Ah, good news!
Thief DS + Sneaky Upgrade FAT is perfectly working with NVidia DSR @3840x2160 resolution
And the HUD correctly scales too!
It's not for sensivity but responsiveness. It's equivalent to sticking this...
...in user.ini. I think it came from the tweaks thread, or maybe it's one of the MP features I made into a general tweak.Code:[Flesh] DynVPScale=3000 DynVPMinRotationRate=3000 MouseLagThreshold=0
That's good to know. If you can run it smoothly at that resolution, then I envy you your graphics card.Thief DS + Sneaky Upgrade FAT is perfectly working with NVidia DSR @3840x2160 resolution

It's a simple GeForce 750ti!then I envy you your graphics card.
I'm laptop-only these days - and apparently out of touch with what desktop cards can do.
Found 2 little problems!
*Can't set to "0" the frame rate limiter (minimum is 10), to disable it.
*In-game V-Sync option no more working :| (neither forcing it in NVCP!)
EDIT: on a Window 8.1 PC, I'll try on a Windows 7 PC.

Confirmed, the problem is Win8.1 related.
Damn.
Oops - fixed, thanks!
It's working for me, on both the Intel and Nvidia side of my laptop - running Win8.1. But I've had a similar issue at one point, I think it was with the GOG version, which set the game to run as administrator or similar. Are you sure you're not running in a compatibility mode, or as administrator?*In-game V-Sync option no more working :| (neither forcing it in NVCP!)

Oh my Garrett.
It's really the WinXP SP2 compatibility option the cause.....WHY? :|

No idea, but it's fascinating how much trouble those 'compatibility' modes are on Win8.x - brightness not working, spurious windowed mode, broken vsync...
