Can the animation type (i.e. wrap, pingpong, reverse) be set in the gamesys as well?
Yes. In the texture hierarchy, add Renderer->Texture Anim Data.

In Casing the Joint, I can't see books or scrolls or any other readables, excepting those at the exhibition hall and the library. What's wrong...?

That's peculiar... What's your setup?
Are you playing Thief2 Fixed as a FM, or was it installed by tafferpatcher? Do you have any other mods installed? What happens when you try reading something that you "can't see"? Do you just get a blank screen? Do you get this on any other levels?

It only happens in Casing the Joint. No problem with the other missions. Very simple, there are no books and scrolls throughout the mission and I believe that there should as many as in Masks (well, more or less). Maybe I did something wrong. I just copied your files over onto my tafferpatcher installation. It has nothing to do with white textures. Just missing books and scrolls (I know they are there, but they are invisible...)

The only readables in "Casing the Joint" are the books in the library and in the ballroom/exhibition hall that's under construction. Just to be thorough, I checked the original release mission, to confirm. There are no invisible books or scrolls. What you see is what you get.
However, you are right in one sense. There are quite a number of unused texts associated with miss12.mis in books.crf, and I think some more unused ones for miss13.mis. They fill in a lot of back story surrounding the Gervasius manor. Given that miss12 and miss13 were the most unfinished of any mission, it's likely that they ran out of time and the books and scrolls were overlooked and not put in.

"Any other" readables? It's important that that's not an exaggeration.
These are all the readables in Casing the Joint:
M12B01
M12B02
M12B03
M12B04
M12B05
M12B06
M13B04
M13B07
M13B09

Hmmmm.... I wonder if the german intrface.crf was actually the one which includes the german 1.33 patch.
Or was it simply copied from CD?
@Radiant, can you confirm ?
I could provide the patched 1.33 version.
... and ... in case there is interest, also a couple of fixes to the german books, which where broken even after 1.33.
It was a copy from the CD.

Thank you AntiMatter_16 and jtr7. Now I know why I can't read those books. As simple as that.

In Casing the Joint, the plaque above the door to the side room in the third floor foyer prints out the text of one of the lovers' letters instead of whatever it is supposed to say. It was a little funny to frob that tiny square and see paragraphs of text fill the screen though!

:joke: Nice catch!
Yeah, that plaque did exist in the OMs already, but was virtually invisible.
In the fixed version however, it stands out pretty obviously... and the text makes no sense at all here (m13b04.str).
Seems to exist in m12 only, and not in m13. And there seems to be no text around, which might provide some reasonable text for that plaque.
