I have one Thief2 installation that doesn't do that, and another one that does, but only with Interference via "new game", and it always goes away with a mission restart. It has to be a ddfix bug. But if your problem doesn't go away with a mission restart, it's probably something else.

I haven't noticed anything wrong with the fog in Masks. Is this specific to T2 skies?
Basically, I don't understand why fixing the fog is
required for adjusting the skies. They seem like two separate issues.
Because the sky is fogged. Below Masks with and without fog fix.

Right, so the patcher modifies the .mis files to change the textures that are used by the celestial objects and distance art? Couldn't you just use DDFix overrides for that?
Only if I wanted the replacement to affect all FMs as well, which I don't. See (

Whoa that looks good. I really need to replay Thief with this mod. :)
I get your point, but shouldn't the clouds and probably the moon work as drop-in replacements, if not the distance art?
Rotations and alphas don't really matter for the clouds, do they?
jermi on 20/5/2010 at 17:09
Alpha definitely matters. The original cloud texture has no alpha channel, so in the OMs the cloud deck object alpha is set somewhere in the 0.1 - 0.2 range, if I recall correctly. With a proper alpha channel in the texture, the best object alpha is 1, so that the clouds correctly occlude the stars and the moon when they're supposed to. And alpha is not the only problem, either.
So, really the only textures in t2skies that would work as drop-in replacements are the moon textures.

That all makes sense, then.

I got it working. I'm not even sure what I did, but I think the last "\" may have been missing off the end of the texture path.
Looks gorgeous, BTW.

Sorry to have to resurrect this thread but I feel that I too should say:
Great Work! :thumb:

Yeah, bringing this back from the dead, I gotta say, jermi: This is the best graphcs enhancement pack for thief I've ever downloaded. If all the other enhancements packs were as complete as this (NV, you know what I mean), then a marriage between your pack and others would be just marvelous.

Yes, because there's only 1,800+ object textures in Thief 2, which should be very easy for one person to do by themselves.

Hey, go easy on Albert. He's got so many feet, and only one mouth.

:sweat: I uh, didn't mean to say your going too slow. Damn, I did imply it though, didn't I? Er, sorry man. I understand it's a grueling task to finish the Thief EP. Let me just instead say, that I'm impressed with the work you've done thus far, and hope that in the near future, it get's close to completion.
I uh, didn't mean to sound so impatient, I was just merely pushing for a complete package of all the enhancements made thus far, those which have been well received by our clan (Merry poly-oh, much unlike, and larger than, the Banana Splits, thank goodness).
Godammit, I promised myself I'd try making my statements more frank, sincere, and to the point. I should get out more.
I should stop playing Thief, and do more social interacting with my fellow human peers. Hey, uh, is yogurt in a tube still popular, my cheery chaps? :p
(PS: ZB, I'll accept that statement as a gesture towards our supposed animosity... ? )
