New Dark Patch: Thief 2 V1.27 - System Shock 2 V2.48 ** 2019-06-15

« Mal prend aux Volereaux de faire les Voleurs »,
Sauf si pour se dépêtrer de la toison comme de la barbe de Polyphème;
Deux Voleraux consors (ou plus !) s'attellent au labeur

---------------------------
Changes and fixes for v1.27
---------------------------

General:
- fixed an issue with wrong texture palette being used on world textures, from families without a full.pcx,
after loading savegames
- fixed original bug where under some circumstances random objects started playing voices from a recently
destroyed AI
- fixed an original bug in some loading code that could on occasion cause trouble when loading savegames or
during level transitions in SS2
- updated "doc\T1.7z" package with a motiondb patch to fix a small issue in T1 mode (see the contained readme)
- added "hide_maxed_hpbar" config var that will hide the health bar when player has full health

DromEd:
- fixed room(/EAX) type not being copied when cloning room brush
- added incremental save support (see "incremental_save_dir" in "doc\new_config_vars.txt" and the supplied
sample "dromed.cfg")
- added "load_world_gam" command that tries to load a cow (or mis) file, but will prompt user to load a
gamesys file, might be useful for rescue or debugging (the loaded result must be carefully inspected
as gamesys data will likely differ from what was in the cow)
- added "load_terrain" command that tries to load only terrain, no objects, from a mis/cow, might be useful
for rescue or debugging
- added "reload_motion_info" command, to reload data from a mi-file without having to rebuild entire motiondb
- added "dump_motions_schemas" command (see "doc\motion_schema_syntax.txt")
- added CTRL and ALT modifiers when clicking in solid view while the texture palette is open
(CTRL allows changing selected surface without assigning a texture, ALT picks the texture from the clicked
surface and sets it as the current selection in the texture palette)
- added positional info to some portalization merge errors

Other:
- fixed a bug in SQUIRREL.OSM with SendMessage function and the data3 param
- fixed incorrectly documented game/API version for a couple of functions in the DarkGame script service
- updated a parameter for the ObjRaycast function in the Engine script service (should be backward compatible
with existing code that uses it)
- Notepad++ files for Squirrel updated to reflect latest fixes
- added PossessedSimple function to the Property script service
- added stun an freeze functions to the AI script service
- added Create and CreateArch commands to DMLs
- added multiplayer beta (separate executable)


New version on 09 June 2018 :

À haute voix, les corbeaux rient mais celui-ci moins,
le corbeau lit tout et vole -- à sa guise mais toujours reconnaissant.
Bon jeu !

1.26 Notes
----------
This is a maintenance patch that fixes a couple of things and adds a few new ones.
See list below. Consider all prior versions obsolete and do not use them any more.

Changes and fixes for v1.26
---------------------------

General:
- hopefully fixed the DLL load problems that some have with ffmpeg.dll
- added support for mouse smoothing (see "doc\new_config_vars.txt")
- added ATOC support for intel GPUs (that are capable of it)
- added custom shader support for software gamma and color processing, see "doc\sw_cc\sw_cc_notes.txt"
(can for example be used to add subtle noise to reduce banding/posterization)
- replaced "disable_lightmap_aniso" with "lm_filter_mode" that gives full control over texture filtering
mode used for lightmaps (makes it possible to have filtering disabled for regular textures but enabled
for lightmaps)

DromEd:
- fixed potential crash when minimizing the texture palette window
- fixed issue with cached texture archetypes temporarily getting mixed up after compressing family textures
(previsouly solved itself after going back and forth to game mode once, but should now work right away)
- restored "kCallbackEntryMax" (speech callback) limit from 1 to 4 to avoid "i < kCallbackEntryMax" asserts
- made stimulus drop-list sorted in add/edit receptron dialogs (with lg.ini option for old unsorted behavior)
- fixed support for referencing concrete objects by name in mission DMLs
- extended DML fingerprint functionality (see "dbmod-sample.dml" doc)
- added ability to specify an archetype obj ID instead of name for tweq emitters
- added ability for scripts to subscribe messages for all qvars by subscribing to the name "*"
- added "spew_script_msg" command that will output mono info about all messages sent to scripts (may be useful to
pinpoint a problematic script)
- added ability to clear filters in various darkdlgs dialogs by mouse click (by clicking on the filter count info
text to the right of the filter input controls)
- added status bar info about number of brushes hilighted by hilight commands
- added campaign bin data store available to scripts (see "doc\script\Quest.txt" for details)

Other:
- fixed a bug in SQUIRREL.OSM with "string &" arguments not returning any values
- fixed PostMessage function when SQUIRREL.OSM is used with dark in Thief1 mode
- fixed incorrect value in nMaxRootLen passed to FM Selectors
- added Quest.GetAllVars service function to SQUIRREL.OSM
- changed the included DarkMapGen.jpg from a simple screenshot to a mini-tutorial for creating automap
data with DarkMapGen (located in "contrib_editor_demos.zip")
- fixed bug when deleting map locations in DarkMapGen, that could cause issues with snapping and other
subsequent editing operations
==============================================================================

New version on 20 March 2017 :

"Et même si le Renard se moquait de l’Écureuil et gagna à la fin les faveurs du roi, l’Histoire pourrait être à nouveau écrite, rescriptée, même par celui qui se faisait silencieux !
Des correctifs... et un nouvel outil pour la guilde des profondeurs."

New message from "Le Corbeau" (on French forum Ariane4ever), & new update :

"De nouveau sous le soleil, des ombres échappées et un fromage qui s'affine. L'oiseau reste secret, continue à guetter, car il n'est pas le seul"
"New under the sun, shadows and glimpses of a cheese that matures. The bird remains secret, keep watch, because it is not the only"

1.24 Notes
----------
This is a hotfix for v1.23 that fixes a couple of things.

In particular the broken "sun_runtime_obj_shadows" has been fixed. In DromEd the crashes related to DXT
textures have also been fixed (if "dxt_to_rgb32" was enabled as a workaround for those crashes then it
can be removed again).

Changes and fixes for v1.24
---------------------------

General:
- fixed broken "sun_runtime_obj_shadows" (worked in DromEd but not the game exe)
- fixed path priority order bug with subtitle files (was accidentally reversed)
- reduced risk of the door drifting bug that can happen in some occasional FMs (door-based objects that should
rotate but instead of rotating just float away into infinity)
- added "no_unload_fmsel" option to cam_mod.ini (can be useful if experiencing crash with FMSel, especially on Win10)

DromEd:
- fixed DXT related crash (when running editor in HW mode)
- fixed crash accidentally re-introduced in the previous version when loading (old) missions with bad door objects
(objects internally flagged as doors despite not being doors)
- fixed ambient sounds disappearing after playing in-game movie
- fixed link data for certain link types (AIWatchObj) getting reset when reordering them (in link list dialog)
- fixed original glitch in vhot evaluation that could under some circumstances affect "show_vhots", coronas and
particle attachment links using vhots
- fixed DML syntax error bug when working with links that have no data set
- fixed missing field indexing in DML export (for properties that contain multiple fields with the same name)
- fixed a bug that could occur under certain circumstances with StimSource and Receptron commands in DMLs
- fixed a few crashes that could happen in rare situations
- fixed buggy transform for vhot and subobj detail attachment links when parent object is scaled
- added mono warning for ObjTxtReplace properties with textures that couldn't be found/loaded
- added "spew_stimulations" command to toggle mono output for stim events

- fixed broken "sun_runtime_obj_shadows" (worked in DromEd but not the game exe)

The download link brings up a blocking site of warning. A mirror please.

[FenPhoenix]

I had a hard time downloading this one. I would throw up a mirror on my own website but there seems to be an issue with my login info at the moment. Sigh. If it works better for anyone, here's a mediafire link: http://www.mediafire.com/download/01...7p/t2_v124.zip

[Athalle]

Mirror added

(Sorry Fen, I saw your post too late...)

[Tannar]

Thank you, Le Corbeau, Athalle, et al.!

[Cardia]

Got it, Remind me how do i enable the new mantle.

[FenPhoenix]

Mirror added

(Sorry Fen, I saw your post too late...)

No problem, long as we've got one reliable mirror it's all good

[Tannar]

Got it, Remind me how do i enable the new mantle.

Open cam_ext.cfg and look down near the bottom for "Game Specific" and make sure there is no semicolon in front of "new mantle". Like this:

; -------------
; game specific
; -------------

; enable new mantling code
new_mantle

[Renault]

Here's another mirror:

Thief 2 ver 1.24
System Shock 2 ver 2.45

Thanks Le Corbeau...

(might want to pick your download sites a bit more carefully next time)

[Kerrle]

- added "no_unload_fmsel" option to cam_mod.ini (can be useful if experiencing crash with FMSel, especially on Win10)

Excellent. Mine was doing that, requiring me to start FM's manually instead of using FMSel. This fixes it for me...as long as I don't launch it through Steam. For some reason that still can't transition from FMSel to the game proper.

[Cardia]

Thank you very much Mike, i have to take note of that so i can warn in my upcoming missions that players must enable new mantle.

NEW ** Patch Thief 2 V1.24

Some say he's The Trickster's father...
Some say he's The Builder's alter ego...
All we know is... he's called Le Corbeau

Do you smell what Le Corbeau is cooking?!

[Marbrien]

Where are the installation instructions please?

[nickie]

In the release notes in the zip, under Installation.

Extract the contents of the "new_dark.zip" and "contrib.zip" archives into your T2 directory, and you are done. If you are updating an install that has already been patched to v1.19 or newer, then you are well advised to make backup copies of the configuration files "cam_ext.cfg", "cam_mod.ini" and "lg.ini" before installing the new update.

Edit. TFix has been updated to v1.24

[Dark_Garrett]

The stone
cannot know
why the chisel
cleaves it;

the iron
cannot know
why the fire
scorches it;

The world does
not know why
Le Corbeau does it.

Beat not thy
breast and
wonder why,

but thank the
Builder for
NewDark and the
One that shapes thee.

Saw the Good News today and for some reason that popped into my head lol. Thanks Le Corbeau and all those keeping patches updated and this great game rolling for everyone

[The Phantom]

Thanks for the new release and the ongoing support, Le Corbeau!

[nickie]

Tafferpatcher has also now been updated to include v1.24

[Athalle]

First post for New Dark update

[Tannar]

I edited the title to include the words "New Dark".

[Ricebug]

Can someone provide a direct download link instead of some bogus website that wants to sell me something? The 1.25 mirror in the OP doesn't do anything except take me around in circles.

[Lord Soth]

Link to taffers

http://www.taffersparadise.co.uk/thi...nd-t2-1-25.zip

[Tannar]

Thank you! I added it to the first post.

[Renault]

The anonfiles links in the OP are already dead.
