Thief 1/Gold Texture Pack by Bentraxx released

I would have liked it better if the choice of textures was more coherent and if they were properly aligned this time around. The latter is very easy to do with NewDark now since you can fine tune alignment, which wasn't possible before. Still, the textures themselves are for the most part very good.

"There are some issues with the water in this video, which shows an internet person by the name of AluminumHaste completing the training mission. Work has continued since release earlier this week though and fixes seem to be occurring at a steady rate."

 

:D

Task is not so much to see what no one has yet seen but to think what nobody has yet thought about that which everybody see. - E.S.

It is different on purpose. A bunch of people are also working on the Canon Texture project which is a faithful recreation of original textures. (A large amount of them are actually based on photosources, which is awesome because... well, because of reasons. ;))

Come the time of peril, did the ground gape, and did the dead rest unquiet 'gainst us. Our bands of iron and hammers of stone prevailed not, and some did doubt the Builder's plan. But the seals held strong, and the few did triumph, and the doubters were lain into the foundations of the new sanctum. -- Collected letters of the Smith-in-Exile, Civitas Approved

Yes, I saw that...and I know exactly the reasons you mean. :)

 

Where have some of the photo sources come from? Has someone actually tracked down original locations where LGS snapped the pics?

Yeah. Many of the Thief textures come from Prague, some from Britain, many from famous art objects (like specific mediaeval/Victorian tapestries), and they have been identified piece by piece. Even some I'd always have suspected to be LGS originals are essentially slightly recoloured photos. Many of the decorative wood textures in Thief 2 were shot in Neuschwanstein castle and the white marble in Vienna.

      The FAQ wiki is almost a proper FAQ now. Probably need to spin-off a bunch of the "remedies" for playing older TDM versions into their own article.

      Was checking out old translation packs and decided to fire up TDM 1.07. Rightful Property with sub-20 FPS areas yay! ( same areas run at 180FPS with cranked eye candy on 2.12 )

      i am so euphoric to see new FMs keep coming out and I am keen to try it out in my leisure time, then suddenly my PC is spouting a couple of S.M.A.R.T errors...
      tbf i cannot afford myself to miss my network emulator image file&progress, important ebooks, hyper-v checkpoint & hyper-v export and the precious thief & TDM gamesaves. Don't fall yourself into & lay your hands on crappy SSD

      Does anyone actually use the Normalise button in the Surface inspector? Even after looking at the code I'm not quite sure what it's for.

      Turns out my 15th anniversary mission idea has already been done once or twice before! I've been beaten to the punch once again, but I suppose that's to be expected when there's over 170 FMs out there, eh? I'm not complaining though, I love learning new tricks and taking inspiration from past FMs. Best of luck on your own fan missions!
