Here's a link with the Engine, Game and Input file in case anyone would like to dig in but don't own or have the game installed. Either for Performance or Quality optimization:

Throwing a few words people used to say long ago to help enrich those texts. Not sure if they all work in English since I'm just translating from Spanish but I think most should work well.
- Stratagem: Used by Nobles to describe a plan, course of action as in "Device a Stratagem" use instead of Strategy.
- Given Word (People used this one a lot, had weight). You can't betray the given word.
- Sophistry or Sophist (as in dirty sophistry). Play of words to deceive.
-Countenance (Please execute/exercise Countenance)
- Artifice: Plan or plot to deceive.
- Modesty (Lacking Modesty)
- Sylph: Slender woman.
- Cameo (As in compliment: "She's beautiful like a Cameo")

So what is Distortion for in the game? Both Distortion and Filtered Distortion appear as true in the Settings ini

GOOD TWEAK!
Open Hex Editor. I recommend HxD. Find thiefgame.u.
To disable shroud - Make a backup of thiefgame.u and then search (in Hex value) for:
02 CD CC 4C 3F 36 CC 66 36 BC 00 01 9C DE F4 3E
Replace with: 02 00 00 00 00 35 CC 66 36 BC 00 01 9C DE F4 3E
to disable white flash :33 33 33 3F 36 18 4D 01 CD CC CC 3E 38 A9 4C C0
Replace with: 33 33 33 3F 36 18 4D 01 00 00 00 00 38 A9 4C C0Found the White Flash Hex Value but not the one for the Shroud effect. I'm playing the Epic Version.

The main problem of the art direction of T4 is that is *ONLY* that kind of dark (=the "gloom" fallen over the City), prologue apart.
Prologue atmosphere is just perfect
I like the Transition from dusk to night in the Prologue and the fact that it didn't last long. Hiding and stealing during the day feels weird to me. I couldn't digest Mankind Divided as much as I liked the Artistic touches for this reason. The Prague map felt so Arbitrary.

@Taquito TBH, I like the original Thief 4 screenshots better. Looks darker and more coherent. To each his own, of course.
I wasn't really thinking about cohesiveness. i was trying to give the game a more Golden touch like in DXHR. I'm using Cinetool Lut which has many options for color combination. Each one makes the game look and feel different and it's a great Reshade Tool.
-
My issue with the Gold filter in HR is that overpowers all colors making the game monochromatic. These artistic liberties work on short games but in long games once the novelty wears down it could make the game feel monotone. Something similar happens in Thief 4. The art director made the textures almost colorless to add a bleak and sad effect to the game, cool but overtime the player might feel the game is dull and boring. Colors not only give look but also feel.
Bur regardless. Here's my attempt to Replicate the Gold Filter in Deus Ex Art Director's Cut

The Directors Cut has this Pinkish Copper Tone:

Few pics of a Reshade Preset I've been working on. Changes the Silverish blue of the ambiance color to a more Gloomy Gold/Green ambient. Kind of HR piss effect.

Found a few more tweaks that supposedly improve the game:
To improve the quality of the game you can modify the
BaseEngine.inifile located in\Steam\steamapps\common\Thief\Engine\Configchanging the values written below:[MemoryPools] FLightPrimitiveInteractionInitialBlockSize=1024 FModShadowPrimitiveInteractionInitialBlockSize=1024 [SystemSettings] ... DepthOfField=False ... AllowImageReflections=True AllowImageReflectionShadowing=True SkeletalMeshLODBias=-1 ParticleLODBias=-1 ... MaxAnisotropy=16 ... MaxShadowResolution=2048 ... ResX=1920 ResY=1080 //or whatever res you will be using in gameplay ... bEnableBranchingPCFShadows=True ... bEnableForegroundSelfShadowing=True
I also disabled bloom via ini and looks much better.

The shroud effect keeps coming back
-
Yes this worked chakkman thank you. Much better.
So far I'm enjoying the game in a very Hitman Absolution type of way. The sound effects and sound design overall is simply unpresentable to me. Lack of footstep, nice pick up loot and and satisfying lock pick sound cues makes it hard for me to give the game more than a 6 out of 10. With good sounds this game could have been a 8 or 9.

Sorry for the Necro but I can't find he hex for shroud. I just got the the game free off Epic.

Thank you Lifthrasil

Nice little Mission. Good atmosphere, great sound and Cozy spaces.

One thing you could try, apart from taking the time to make new models to fit your intended style, is to make skins to replace the materials of the already-existing oil lamps.
Any Tutorials about this topic in particular? I'm interested in learning this.

Really enjoying this mission but I'm stuck:
SpoilerCan't find the key to this door:
Please help.

Not sure if this was posted before
A few pics of the Game The Unluckiest Man, a Free Short Mission created by the same guy in the post above. He's pretty good at creating cozy environments, good exterior atmosphere and lighting.
Here's the Link for the game on Steam: https://store.steampowered.com/app/2140900/The_Unluckiest_Man/
It's free.

I already uninstalled TDM to make space for the steam version.

The Official Trailer is a Hit! Now onto a more deserving spot for TDM. Number One on Steam Greenlight.

What's more important than Localization is to make sure that those who visit the page also endorse it and make sure they vote in their short attention span which probably last less than a minute. TDM goal should be top 25 or even less and it's possible since it has been running in Prestige alone and reached 50. So now's the time to push for the top! How many unique visits translated into votes?
some suggestions:
-Add those flashy testimonials to the description text with logo pics (If the system allows it) To Showcase the Prestige levels. ex. That PC gamer quote, I'm sure TDM have more quotes from other known online magazines or something.
-Respect the clients. Even the trolls. Be objective about the questions and answer the topic at hand without derailing unless you want to cause controversy for exposure and visits at the cost of loosing a bit of high prestige. The trolls want fight and drama.
-Add a pic of the Ship in one of the mission. For variety reasons.
-Don't underestimate markets. Latinos alone could add thousands of visits and fans. Colonize more markets. And don't underestimate Artists or possible mission creators. Offer help and motivation. I work in advertising and I learned my lesson well not to underestimate a creative or artist because or their appearance or crazy antics unorganized methods etc.
-Be ambitious! TDM already made the first step into the scrutiny of Steam Highway. You might as well reclaim victory and show the clients the High Prestige of TDM. What's the worst that could happen? End up behind a Truck Driving Game (MODDBMOTY incident) or a Poker Game?
-Fire Bikerdude. He ruined Hillary's campaign and now he's doing the same here.
Joking! Thanks for the initiative Bikerdude.
