I can't find DDFix anywhere on the Net - at least not this newer version. Can someone please direct me to it? Timeslip's page is down (at least for me).

Thanks, just what I needed.

Link in the first post updated.
massimilianogoi, I'm guessing texture replacement isn't working for you at all. Did you try / are you using NTEX? You should post your entire ddfix.ini.

What NTEX is?
ddfix.ini
Code:
[Main]
;Screen resolution
;Must be 800x600 or greater
gWidth=1280
gHeight=1024
;Refresh rate. 0 is default, anything else to override.
RefreshRate=0
;Set to 1 to fix the duel core related crash
MultiCoreFix=1
;Set to 1 to automatically register lgvid.ax each time thief is started up
VideoFix=1
;This can be set to zero to get a more accurate z-buffer
;Doesn't usually make a noticable difference to picture quality
UseCompatibleZBuffer=1
;Turns on the 32 bit texture loader and adds support for some unsupported screen resolutions
;Will cause a crash if used with an unsupported exe
; 0 - Disable
; 1 - Determine exe automatically
; 2 - Thief 2 v1.18
Thief2Extensions=1
;Set to 1 to disable the windows keys while thief is running
DisableWindowsKey=0
;Set to 1 to enable anisotropic filtering
AnisotropicFiltering=0
;If you want to share overriden textures between thief installations, uncomment the next line
;It should contain the absolute path to the equivilent of \res\ddfix, including the trailing \
TexturePath=C:\Games\Thief2\res\ddfix\
;XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX
;XX Compatibility settings XX
;XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX
;Changes the way direct writes to the frontbuffer are handled
;SS2 players should set these options to '2' and '0xf81f' respectively
;Thief 2 players with corrupted in game text should use '2' and '0x0000'
;Players who experience slowdown with UseSysMemOverlay=2 should set both options to 0
UseSysMemOverlay=2
OverlayColourKey=0xf81f
Thief2Extensions=1
EnableFogFix=1
EnableLifeOfThePartyFogFix=1

(
http://www.ttlg.com/forums/showthread.php?t=119451&highlight=ntex) NTEX is a high-resolution texture pack for TMA.
That ini file looks like it's based on an older version. Are you sure you're using ddfix 1.4.3 alpha or later. And are you absolutely sure that you have the directory C:\Games\Thief2\res\ddfix\t2skies ?

I'm having issues with consistency with this. I followed the directions and based on
Casing, it looks like my setup has access to all the new resources:

Ambush I seem to be missing everything except the new stars, although they only appear overhead:

http://www.wearytaffer.com/screens/ambush.jpgI'm sure I said Yes to patch every OM, but I may try going back and letting it re-patch Ambush.

Framed, Masks and of course LOTP are the only missions where LOTPFogFix makes any difference.
Darn. Trust me to choose Ambush OM to test with!:p I'll test with the OM's you mention above.
Anyway, here's my idea for enabing t2skies without messing around with the LOTFFogFix stuff. I'll modify DDFix to look for an enable flag in a "t2skies.ini" file.
t2skies.ini:
[DDFix]
Enable=1
This tells DDFix to do whatever it needs internally to support T2Skies. It doesn't need to mention fog, as this is implicit.
DDFix 1.4.5 (with support for t2skies.ini) coming soon...
