I have installed thief 2x and the new esrgan textures but where are the screenshots saved ? I press f10+alt but can't find screenshots. Or should I use fraps ?

I'm creating screenshots by pressing F12 or Print Screen.
Screenshots are located in game folder in Screenshots folder.
You just unpacked T2X textures in USERMODS and they appeared?

I tried the following -
> created USERMODS inside t2x folder and pasted esrgan files there (did not work)
> then I removed fam, mesh and obj folders from inside t2x folder and replaced them with new esrgan (fam, mesh, obj) folders and while (some) new textures got loaded, a lot of game's textures got messed up (missing doors, lamps, people etc)
I think since bentraxx/gecko made the thief 2x hdmod, he may know how to properly inject new hd textures.

Also, thief 2x was crashing on main menu when I copied t2x folder in FMs folder so I removed it and put it back in thief 2 the metal age folder and the game works now but the esrgan textures are not working.

Ok, I'll create a copy of Thief 2 installation to test

One more thing - In my third attempt, I copied the the 3 esrgan folders to the main t2x folder and there was no overwrite in fam, mesh and obj (maybe game textures and esrgan texture file type is different ?). Now, it's looking much better but some wall textures (like the green brick pattern walls) in mission 1 are still not loading.

Screenshots would be useful in this case

I tried putting the 3 folders inside the FM folder first because that's what makes the most sense. It doesn't replace anything however because every file has a different format, and the FM doesn't have .mtl files. I also put everything inside a folder named Thief2XESRGAN, put that into USERMODS, and modified cam_mod.ini to tell NewDark I want to load the textures as a mod, but the FM completly ignores it.
(This is how my mod_path line is set. I put both Thief ESRGAN packs like any other mod for the sake of tidyness: usermods\Thief2ESRGAN+usermods\candles+usermods\CarryBody+usermods\t2water+usermods\t2skies+usermods\t2snd+T2FMDML)

Okay, I don't get why but you have to add "+usermods\Thief2XESRGAN" to uber_mod_path instead to use the pack without dumping it all into the FM folder. Here's a comparison: (

It does work, Curious Taffer, but the difference is really subtle.
I found a messed up texture early on, though: (

All cobwebs look pretty silly, in fact.
