A certain number of cameras are removed at random.

But how? Is it every time you load the mission? Is it based on difficulty? I know objectives change between missions, but never did I think thief had random events in it.

It's used very rarely. That might be the only example in the game. I'm not sure it's a good idea to post Dromed info in this forum, so I'll PM the details.

if you mean the two demos from the first post, (http://www.ttlg.com/forums/showthread.php?t=140085&p=2143471&viewfull=1#post2143471) it seems like the Thief demo is just slightly modded (dynamic skies, water, and some upgrades to objects and textures I believe), but the SS2 demo is enhanced completely - you won't get those visuals unless you apply a lot of mods. most of them have been out for a long time, see (http://www.systemshock.org/index.php?topic=4414.0) here.

Cool to hear, looking over your TFix topic it looks like I could use that in combination with this new patch and get some good results?

no need to - the new patch is already integrated into TFix. basically, TFix is all you need for T1/TG - that's sort of the point of having a one-click-fix-all package.

Ever better.:cheeky:

Yeah I'm kind of new here obviously so reading up on a lot, pretty impressive how active the modding community is for this stuff. I guess the Dark Engine was kind of flexible and long lasting after all?

indeed it was, even though the classic dark engine had had been on its last breath just a couple of months ago, with all the crashes and incompatibilities with modern systems. NewDark has remedied that, and the interest of gamers and modders alike has been renewed. in case you did not catch the story: (http://kotaku.com/5946462/whoah-system-shock-2-and-thief-2-just-got-surprise-patches)

I just found out about this. This is great news!

I don't know if it was the 1.19 patch or Tfix, but I'm replaying Thief 1, and I noticed the Fire Shadow in the Bonehoard is changed. Now he has red eyes and a different body shape.

It certainly wasn't the engine, I would imagine one of the upgrade packs installed by TFix did that.

Interesting, that seems like one of those creepy shade things from The Mystery Man. I'm sure it's what Yandros is saying.
