I benefit nothing from this, and I don't have a PCI-E motherboard so I can't even get one myself, but I thought I would pass along this short-time deal

 

http://www.buy.com/retail/product.asp?sku=...amp;dcaid=17654

 

It's for an ATI Radeon HD 2600XT PCI-E card with 256MB GDDR3 memory. It costs $75 with free shipping, but there is a $50 mail-in rebate, so you can get it for $25 in the end.

 

Hope it helps someone, since it really is a pretty good card. My wife has a very similar one (I know hers is an HD 2600, dunno about the XT, and hers has 512 memory, but it's DDR2), and hers runs Doom 3 and Dark Mod very well, and other games (but she mostly plays Sims 2).

 

I'm on Buy.com's email list since I've bought a few things from there before. I've done rebates with them before too, always has been straightforward and honest, got the rebate checks a month or two later (slow, but that's normal)

That's a great deal even at 75$

I always assumed I'd taste like boot leather.

Pity they don't ship outside the US. :( Typical.

My games | Public Service Announcement: TDM is not set in the Thief universe. The city in which it takes place is not the City from Thief. The player character is not called Garrett. Any person who contradicts these facts will be subjected to disapproving stares.

      I tried to upscale the TDM logo video. First try:

      briefing_video.mp4 You can test it ingame by making a copy of the core tdm_gui.mtr and place it in your-tdm-root/materials/ , then edit line 249 of that file into the location where you placed the new briefing.mp4 file.
      What I did was I extracted all the image files, then used Upscayl to upscale the images using General photo (Real-Esrgan) upscale setting and then turn it back into a video.
      I might have to crop it a bit, the logo looks smaller on screen (or maybe it's actually better this way?). My video editor turned it into a 16:9 video, which I think overal looks better than 1:1 video of original.

      Finally got round to publishing a tutorial on baking normal maps in Blender, since most of the ones we have are inaccessible or years out of date.

      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 )
