Hello everyone, and then without further ado. Enjoy!

NewDark Revision by Soul Tear
Changes:
- Fixed sound propagation (Room brushing).
- Added musical and secondary ambients from the original game in areas where it was absent.
- Halved the value of ambient light for better contrast of light and shadow (as in the original games).
- Added secrets to where they should be (added FindSecretTrap objects).
- Added animations for NPCs to improve the atmosphere (they warm their hands by the fireplace, wash the dishes, peer out the window, turn, etc.).
- Fixed distant art in mission 1 (from the roof you could see the empty bottom under the background).
- Lady Elena is now guarded by two patrolling spider robots. Fire elemental removed (clarification: Lady Elena has nothing to do with mages, but she is loyal to the Mechanists.).
- Now Lady Elena's house is patrolled by two additional guards and one mechanist-crossbowman (previously there was only one guard, which made the gameplay boring.)
- Added patrolling guards in locations where they were not. This makes the game more interesting, but not more difficult.
- Added more guards on Expert in some missions.
- Some light switches on Expert have been removed.
- Reduced the volume of all fireplaces, candles, fountains and pools. Now you can enjoy the original ambient, and not go crazy with deafening secondary sounds.
- Reduced the amount of equipment. No hardcore, just common sense (for example in the original there were 2 gas arrows against one regular guard).
- 8-sided arches are replaced with 16-sided ones.
- 32-bit lightmaps.
- Added additional lights on the windows.
- Fixed shading on custom models (from flat to smooth).
- Fixed UV on custom stove.
- Fixed texture alignment on stairs.
- Fixed collisions of some objects (invisible physical dimensions).
- Replacing the material for red armchairs and sofas (from wood to carpet)
- Sleeping NPCs are almost deaf and do not react to cracking chests, opening doors or moving the player nearby (except jumping and fighting).
- Fixed and improved English version. Thanks for that:

fortuni.

I've replayed the series. I can't see what the 'fixes' are however there was several small annoyances that didn't exist in the originals. I see no improvement on the originals.

Awesome, thank you very much for this!! Definitely a reason to replay it again! :)

All fixes are described with the list above, some of which are also illustrated. If you can't see them, you should probably get your vision (and hearing) checked.
And what are these 'small annoyances' that you are talking about? If I messed up something, then I have to fix it. If you have nothing to say, why are you writing?

Only on Mission 2 but so far some of the changes are quite obvious and welcome.
