Here are some things we discovered when making The Drymian Codex which might help:
Note: If the movie is cropped (which it may be with default settings from Tafferpatcher), open cam_ext.cfg in a text editor (such as notepad) and find crop_movies. If there is no semicolon in front of it, add one to comment it out.
Note 2: The briefing is in widescreen, but NewDark will mush it horizontally to a 4:3 ratio when playing it in game. So it will fill the screen if you have Thief's resolution set to a 4:3 resolution, but otherwise will be a little mushed and there will be space on either side. If the movie is instead getting cropped and some of it is cut off the screen, open up cam_ext.cfg and try setting ui_scale_mode 1 (instead of 2) and also perhaps scale_movie_to_ui.
Alas, it didn't work. I already had crop_movies commented out since I did notice before that movies had areas of texts or titles cropped off and this fixed it. 4:3 movies play fine, it's just widescreen movies (my Thief 2 resolution is set to 1920X1080, btw) that are a bit wonky. There does seem to be a lot of options in cam_exe.cfg for this but unless someone knows the exact setting that makes widescreen movies display properly without screwing up 4:3 movie aspect ratios too, I'll just live with it. The missions look fine in 16:9. Thanks anyway for your help.

Thanks. I'll check it out. I need to bone up on all the latest Thief patches anyway since I've been on hiatus from playing it for 3 years.

Gloria Creep,
A few posts ago (May 13th, 2017) Ricebug posted a walkthrough link. Even though I did the voice of the “guide”, I still needed some help here and there and Ricebug’s walkthrough helped. This is one of the last FM’s Ricebug created a walkthrough for. It’s a complicated map in some respects, but his walkthrough is pretty helpful. I’ve now played through the mission a few times, mostly to listen to myself :joke: It’s pretty challenging in parts, but replaying it and being familiar with the map, it becomes pretty easy - yet still fun.

bjack is right, here is the link (

I somehow forgot to add it under the walkthrough section of my first post and let it instead in the maps one, sorry about that I'll fix it right now ;)

Quick message to mention that the last update seemed to have broken a few textures (somehow), this should be fixed now in version 23 March 2018. Mirror links will be updated soon!
Please do not hesitate to report anything looking broken, preferably through PMs
Sorry to bring this back up, have a great day guys :thumb:

The date in the original post's title should be the release date of the mission, not the date of the latest update. I thought it was a brand new mission release and realized I had downloaded it a year ago.

Sorry about that, I'll clarify it

What a fantastic mission. I had been craving a dungeon-crawling adventure and this FM delivered perfectly. I felt like I was playing through an old-school Dungeons & Dragons module! Loved the layout, loved the puzzles, loved the traps, loved the zombie types, and loved the loot.
