I just realized, and maybe someone can pipe up if they know more, there is a issue of displaying particles with/inside translucent objects. I tried to make a sconce with a nice glass base and I didn't see the fire particles. It might be avoided with a tick-off on some property. I guess we'll see.
PS> I think I might have a copy of dromed on my work PC, I might take a 15 to see if I can duplicate. - Nope, will have to wait and find out.

Particles can be shown inside partially transparent objects. Just look at the original gas lamps. It can get dodgy sometimes, but generally setting Renderer > Alpha to 1.0 on the transparent object will let the particles show through (I think... going from memory here).

That's pretty damn rad, Gecko!
It looks like Schwaa created a rust mite, but I can't seem to find it on the LPG site or on LPG thiefmissions. According to (
http://www.ttlg.com/forums/showthread.php?t=113332&highlight=rust+mite) this thread he made about it, Jason Otto once hosted it on his site, but I can't find it on the wayback machine.
Anyone still have it?

Gecko, that's so crazy. Is it a 2d animation or a animated 3d object?

It's a bitmap animation. The problem is the 99 frames limit for a bitmap animation with NewDark. 200 different frames are required to get a smooth animation here. The limitation is still the problem...

Great! Gecko!

99 frames seems way excessive. what's your missions's framerate on a low end machine? Most movies are 30-60 fps. For a looping flame I wouldn't think that more than 30 would be needed. Another approach would be to use a vhot on the lantern and a particle effect instead.

@gecko:
I love the lantern in the vid. :thumb:
but I'm a bit confused. is this lantern part of the ( to come) weapons mod??
I installed the HD mod ( super btw. replaying thief 1 at the moment:cool:) but the lantern is a different one than the one in the video.
