Hello, I was wondering if someone could send me a link to some images of game play with this mod installed. Thank you for your time.

You won't really get much out of the screen shots. Essentially, the hud looks more like the T1/2 hud. The gameplay changes would need to be experienced. I don't have any of my old screen shots. I'm sure if you google it, something will come up.

So I had a little play with this and the things I like are really just the aethsetic side of things, I'm not keen on the changes to diffculty.
I'm not a very skillful thief so I have a hard time playing on Expert.
But for those serious thieves, this really is a wonderful mod. I'm really impressed with the amount of work that has gone into it.
So how possible is it to just have the beautiful HUD and fonts? Those are the features I'm more interested in.

I've been toying around with just releasing a scaled down version...with mainly hud and font changes.
Can't find my source files though, been a few years, so I might have to start from scratch. Still have most of my notes in a book somewhere though.

Joe, try... copying the T3Default.ini, T3Ui.ini from the \system\ folder and the fonts from CONTENT\T3\PC Textures\Fonts or ~\Dynamically Loaded when the MP is installed (or open the exe with some unpacker tool). This should include the HUD and fonts AFAIK (maybe still the health shield texture), but there's probably a bit of messing around with the T3Default.ini because it contains a lot more stuff. I've included the fonts for my FM install and I think it was a lot of adjusting the row numbers etc., but I didn't change the HUD. You could take a look at the large number of ini tweaks for TDS (didn't someone say TDS wasn't easily moddable?) to find the right places to look when dealing with the MP files.

Comparably, it isn't. lol

Well, I never got the impression that you could change the HUD or AI awareness in TDP/TMA with ini files.

Sorry for the necromancy, but...
I've dusted the 'old' Thief 3 discs and installed it. Works great! But I've got some doubts (and problems)
Do the holy water arrows act as a 'one-hit-kill' or you will need more than one to down a undead?
And... So far, the blackjacking mechanics are a bit of 'not working'. Takes about three attempts to knockout a baddie. Is there any way to revert to the 'classic' Thief 3 blackjacking? I prefer if there is a way to make the new mechanic work, though.

There are holy water arrows in the MP? :wot:

(...) The holy water potions can no longer be tossed on the ground. (side effect of having to make them an inventory consumable) When the player 'uses' the vial...it is applied to 3 'water arrows', which transforms them into Holy Water Arrows. You will actually see 3 water arrows disappear from your inventory and 3 Holy water arrows appear. The scripting checks to make sure you have 3 arrows, so if you only have 2..then you will lose 2...same with 1. If you have 0, then you have just wasted a vial of holy water.
Sounds like it. Didn't reach the Abysmal Gale to be 100% sure though.
