Happy New Year everyone! Hope you're ready to kick off 2022 with a new Thief 2 mission:

https://nickdablin.files.wordpress.com/2022/01/raventitle.pngRavensreach is a lo-fi dungeon crawl through a snow-swept mountain fortress in search of an abominable tome of blood magic.
On the trail of the previous band of adventurers to have dared the castle, you will find yourself facing creepy new enemies and exploring labyrinthine, dark tunnels.
With chunky polygons and crisp pixels, with this level I've tried to evoke the strange surrealism of the original Thief: The Dark Project and its contemporaries.
There's a chill in the air. Dark deeds await...

https://nickdablin.files.wordpress.com/2022/01/ravensreach4.jpgNotes- This mission contains a lot of spiders and spider-related shenanigans. Arachnophobes be warned!
- This mission has been deliberately designed to be lo-fi in style. It is highly recommended to disable all mods and texture packs so as not to clash with the intended experience.
- I have disabled texture filtering by default. If your eyes can't handle the crisp pixelly look, you can disable this by opening fm.cfg and putting a ; in front of the line that says: tex_filter_mode 0
- Requires New Dark version 1.27 or higher.
- New mantle should be turned ON. It should be set automatically by fm.cfg but if you get stuck somewhere, it's worth checking this setting in your cam_ext.cfg.
- You can probably climb where you're not supposed to if you really try.
- Sometimes the AIs can get stuck here and there, particularly if they've been fighting each other.
- If you encounter any completely invisible (rather than partially visible and shimmery) enemies, ensure that use_d3d_display and d3d_disp_enable_distortionfx are enabled in cam_ext.cfg
- The mission is currently English-only; if you're interested in translating, please drop me a message.
