2020‒04−06 14:30 MSK (UTC+3:00) Thief 2: The Metal Age 20th Anniversary Edition+ fixed display of file names and directories in the navigation list, they are no longer wrapped to a new line.
+ LEGACY HARDWARE mode now requires OpenGL version 1.0 instead of 2.1. But work in this mode has not been tested. I would be grateful for the response.
+ added glow of objects that have the Self Illumination property.
+ added support for the Anim Light property. In some modes, it affects Self Illumination property of objects. Full animation of this property has not yet been implemented, only the initial state is applied.
+ added support for languages specified in the dark config file. Resources will be searched in the appropriate subdirectories at the priority specified in darkinst.cfg or install.cfg.
This is last Anniversary build. All following builds will be in a different file. Feast assembly is fixed on this build.
zappendusterEspecially for you, I lowered the required version of OpenGL in Legacy version to 1.0. ;)
But I have nowhere to test the ability to run in this mode (dx8 hardware needed). Therefore, I will be glad if someone leaves a response.
Thanks!

zappendusterWhat graphics card do you have? If its integrated, maybe you should update drivers?

For integrated graphics, go to your motherboard manufacturer's site and download the driver for your motherboard and OS.
Well, without advanced information about your system I can't say anything more useful.

If it will be more convenient for someone, I do not mind transferring this topic to another section.

Hey, just out of curiosity, that third screenshot is from a mission? If so, which one?

I am waiting for your comments and suggestions regarding the work of the new version of the program!
P. S. There was a problem with downloading the program archive from this foum in the Chrome browser. For those who want to download, right-click on the link and select "Save link as ..." and select "Save" in the warning message that appears. I will try to solve this problem with Google...

2021‒03−27 16:00 MSK (UTC+3:00) Thief 2: The Metal Age 21st Anniversary Edition+ reworked loading of BIN models. Now you can view models with broken tree structure.
+ slightly redesigned help screens.
+ added the ability to open the directory of the currently viewed object in the explorer with the O hotkey.
+ the message type is now displayed in the log.
This version is much better able to open static models, since it now opens even those that have damaged internal hierarchy of subobject relationships.
Plus, a very useful function has been added: with the O key you can open a directory in which the viewed model will be selected. If the model is in the archive, a directory with the archive will open.

+ added shadow support for spotlights
