Couldn't this program (and especially the run t2skies.exe part) be incorporated into ddfix? I mean it already requires it, and fan missions should gain from this, and also they are backedup in archives anyway. It's unwieldy right now.

not a good idea.first thing,some people prefer the old,classic looks with no graphics enhancements,and use ddfix only to make the game compatible with modern graphics cards.second,t2skies changes the hardware requirements quite significantly-while you can run ddfixed thief on a laptop or mini desktop pc with integrated graphics with no problems,installing t2skies will make the game unplayable.
bugfix patches an graphics enhancemets should not be merged,period.

In the cases where you don't want it, but have t2skies installed, edit the ddfix config file to disable it for a while, or the graphical configurator or something. It is the exception, not the rule i'd hazard.

Can be disabled. What do you think the new bloom setting
is? Enabled by default? Not a graphical enhancement? I meant the funcionality of replacing the references in mission files IF t2skies is installed, so you don't have to go to thief directory edit mission files in a command line (where you ALWAYS press 'y'), just to play with something you already installed.

Prompting in t2skies.exe can be disabled with the "-y" option.
It might be possible to fix the stars in ddfix, so that you wouldn't need to run t2skies.exe every time after installing an FM, but anything more than that would be impractical.

That's all i ask, unless fm makers want to control texture replacements themselves. I heard about .override files myself.

I recently downloaded the T2Skies mod as I thought it looked fantastic. I followed the install instructions to a T(hief) LOL but I'm having a problem.
The distant art is buggered up and the moving clouds and moon appear as boxes.

Hello garras
I have just thought of something when i read your answer.When i installed this Enhanced skies for Thief 2,i installed some of the files to 2 locations.When i followed the proper installation path,the game was working properly.Maybe you have the same trouble with your installation?.Hope this helps.

I don't know. I followed the install instructions very carefully, and re-read them again afterwards. I think the mod installed properly as you can see it IS taking effect in-game. It's just not displaying properly.
