so what happens if that guy makes it out?
>>12923649Damnit I want to play but I've no idea how to get it working on Linux. The cutscenes don't play and everything is stuck in 4:3 with messed up text and lighting.
>>12926807Oh damn. Have you tried any of the fanpatches? They might help, stuff like DSFix and what else?
>>12926817I've never installed the fan patches. I heard that there's a stand alone installer, like OpenMW but for Thief. Is that true?
>>12926823I never heard about that, closest thing I know is "AngelLoader", but it's only for fanmissions, it doesn't install the actual games.
>>12926835Hmmm. I might be misremembering. I'll see what I can scounge up on steam and get to it.
>>12926852As far as I know, there's Thief 1, Thief 2, Deadly Shadows, and then there's the fanmade "the Dark Mod" which I don't really like because it had performance issues and would crash if you had too many quicksaves.Then you have different loaders to help you with the missions. I use AngelLoader, but I think I heard it was outdated.Keep in mind I might be wrong though.
Shit.I'm lost in the bonehoard 2.0, no idea where I am, where I'm from, or where I'm going.
>>12926963Be careful. My friend Jimmy got lost down there.
Dumb as it is, I see Thief and System Shock as quasi related. SHODAN being some incarnation of Victoria, only Cybernetic rather than Natural.

>>12926807>The cutscenes don't play and everything is stuck in 4:3 with messed up text and lighting.T1 and T2 have the same problems on modern Windows without the patches (they are unpatched on Steam).T1 patches: https://www.pcgamingwiki.com/wiki/Thief:_The_Dark_Project#PatchesT2 patches: https://www.pcgamingwiki.com/wiki/Thief_II:_The_Metal_Age#Unofficial_Patches
>>12927247Hell yeah.
>>12926870As far as I know, AngelLoader isn't outdated, it's the best way to load missions into NewDark. It was created because the basic fmsel plugin that came with NewDark was just too basic in features compared to the pre-NewDark loaders but those old loaders actually replaced files in the root game directory and then reinstalled them back when you uninstalled the mission, whereas with NewDark you can just load subdirectories as missions with priority over base game files so there's no need for file replacement. The new way is for the loader to decompress the archive into a subdir and then delete the subdir's contents (except maybe your savegames) when you uninstall the fm.
>>12927678There is no reason to use anything except fmsel unless you like convenience features like notetaking and ratings or just want a prettier UI. fmsel is the standard and comes with NewDark so it's easy for newbies too.
so this is still where we're at huh
>>12926823open the tfix installers in like protontricks or wine or something, and then figure out how to point it to the thief exes, i had to look up how to navigate the folder shit on there but it worked after that
>>12927678I see, thanks.
>>12927056SHODAN strikes me as Karras' wet dream.
How do you guys plan to make your own levels? I'm drawing something right now so I can have a visual. Nothing fancy, just my old house but in a medieval style.v
>>12928190If I was to make one, I'd definitely make a pyramid.
>>12928190I've been planning to make my own levels by waiting for a modernized toolchain to be developed.
Fuck. These assholes are tough.
