Carrying bodies image doesn't show at all

Hi All!

I am using NewDark 1.26 and everything works just fine, except one thing. Both in Thief Gold and Thief 2 I cannot see any image in the middle when I carry a dead or knocked out body. I tried it with various fan missions, and it's not the mission that are wrong. Something to do with my setup, rather.

With the above information, can you guess or determine what can be the reason behind that? Or should I provide more exact tech specs about my hardware/software/Thief setup?

Thanks a lot!

Yes, they are.

and no manual tampering? I'd try to create a separate, fresh and clean install, and see whether it has the same issue.

The only thing I use in dark.cfg is the following:

vismeter_zoom 120 ; zoom vis meter in
hpbar_zoom 120 ; zoom hp bar in
inv_status_margin -0.008
inv_model_zoom 10.0

Because I find it more nice to have small health points and visiblity gem.

I had it happen in one fm but it was in Thief 2. It didn't happen again after updating to 1.27. I also had it happen in CSGO as well - they did a update and fixed it. If your in Gold i believe that is at 1.27 for latest update.

tweaked the hud, hud now works differently. I don't think that's a coincidence - either undo the changes or try a clean install as suggested. I'm guessing the issue will go away.

Sorry, but what is "hud" for? Thanks a lot, Voodoo.

basically, the 2D stuff like the health shields. in case you were serious.

Thanks. :D

I'm aware now that this can relate to the HUD. So, in your case, could you make the body carrying icon dissapear with zooming in the HUD stuff? Also, after patching to 1.27, I started loading up some older TG FM saves, and it seems to be working, except the new version of Scarlet Cascabel.
