Improving some low-quality original objects?

He is clearly riding side-saddle style. ;)

Someone had to point that out, didn't they? :p

Yeah, I noticed it myself after taking that screenshot. Even though the original had that leg too, I've decided to 'fix' it:

Great coin texture! Something that's always irked me we can't fix without touching the gamesys is the freaking huge size of that coin when the scaling is set back to 1 1 1. That's why it looks so ridiculously large when it's shown in the inventory.

It's because that coin was originally used at that size in Thief Gold, in the secret area in The Sword.

One thing which I've noticed is that some of the models and textures I made when I first started this project are really not up to the standard of the new ones. I guess I'll have to redo them!

Fixed. :erg: :cheeky:

Sounds like I have a bug to fix in DM tonight, then I'll finish off the poker and turn to the flashbomb.

Brilliant work on that coin :thumb:.

I always like to find one of them in a mission. They fit really well in the world of thief.

But pardon me, I see two knights on that horse (even though one of them is blurry). Two shields, two spears, so two pair of legs should be visible if you ask me. There was no need to 'fix' it.
If you decide to keep it this way, better remove one spear and sword as well.

I was also going to point that out as the source of the extra leg, but it appears that NV has also removed the second rider. On the original LGS texture they appear to have removed the rider's body but not his leg! :o

Thanks! Now I know the source material, so we can complete that coin's entry in the Encyclopedia.:thumb:

You know that it's a Knights Templar seal?
