multiplayer thief 2

A Theivery-like Thief mod (Human Guards and Human Thieves) wouldn't be half bad, either.

 

Unfortunately, because of the DARK engine, Hiding in the shadows would be difficult. The thieves' models would have to turn semi- to near-full transparent in different levels of darkness to prevent silhouettes.

 

Else, just a model change for guards. Don't forget a few tweaks to variables like running speed (Ringmail gets heavy), sword swing rate, damage resistance (if wearing ANY armor), and a few others should do it.

This is already a feature. You adjust it from the ThiefMP config file to whatever level of transparency you want.

I don't think that MP effort will ever produce anything reasonable either.

 

But I do think that 2 player Co-Op in Thief could work. Not with the old engine, but in something like TDM or whatever Thief 4 will use. If you have to work together it would be great fun. One distracting a guard whilst the other steals something, one turning off an alarm at one side of a building so the other can get into a vault and so on.

It's been beta released lol.
