T2X Pre-Patched & Installed

Does anyone know how to turn off or remove those annoying subtitles ?
sometimes they take up half the screen....and especially in spooky levels.

Dml fixes for FMsel compatible T2X: Shadows of the Metal Age, all dml's courtesy Unna + Jax.

Note: These fixes should also work with the HD version + NecroAge version but have not been tested, and due to the nature of the modded versions of this campaign it is likely a number of other bugs will appear in those modded versions.

Important: T2X already has a number of dml's in the zip so you need to replace those dml's when prompted.

Mission 1: Unexpected Shelter (miss18)
Fixes being able to mantle over a few railings and getting stuck on the other side + one book.

Mission 3: While the City Sleeps (miss20)
Fixes end game stats to show only 3 secrets available, not 5.

Mission 4: Shadowing the Enemy (miss21)
Fixes AI, pocket count.

Mission 7: Down among Dead Men (miss24)
Fixes a trees physics and zombie who gets stuck.

Mission 10: Of Ill Repute (miss27)
Fixes a few misplaced objects & mantling over a couple of fences

Mission 11: The Grand Hotel (miss28)
Pocket Count (now discounts pistols carried by guards)

Mission 12: The Cure (miss29)
Fixes secret count + fixes gem objective (you no longer need to open a useless footlocker to complete the objective).

Mission 13: Betrayal (miss30)
Fixes misplaced Pagan.

..so, is someone actually hosting a patched, fully up to date T2x build somewhere?

if no such build exists, then maybe it should?

fortuni on 23/3/2024 at 19:45

(https://darkfate.org/view/details/files/fan-missions/thief2/t2x) Darkfate hosts both T2X and T2X_Necroage

I've also posted some of the hosting links in the (https://www.ttlg.com/forums/showthread.php?t=148090&p=2481301&viewfull=1#post2481301) Brief Summaries thread, where you can find a link to the HD version which is hosted on Moddb)

Looks like (https://www.taffersparadise.co.uk/thief2missions.html) Taffers Paradise host T2X, as does (http://www.keepofmetalandgold.com/fmarchive.php) The Keep.

voodoo47 on 23/3/2024 at 19:49

are the dmls included? what about the 32bit relit maps? any other fixes that were available in the past?

baeuchlein on 24/3/2024 at 07:56

As far as I know there is no version out there that already has the latest versions of the DMLs published here.

The 32bit relit maps are Ricebug's work, made from v1.1 of the original T2X version (for OldDark). These relit maps seem to be used by the T2X_Necroage versions and the HD mod versions as well. As far as I know, the only mission where the .mis files differ for all these three major versions is "Of Ill Repute"(Mission 10, miss27.mis).

Of Ricebug's work I have two different versions, the newer one has a size of about 747 MBytes instead of about 760 MBytes for the earlier Ricebuggish one. I do not know what the difference is between the two.

There were also at least two versions of the NecroAge version, the newer one being published in December of 2015. I have not looked into this newer version very much and don't know what's been changed there.

The T2X HD Mod has been published in three versions, AFAIK: The original english one by gecko/betraxx, a german/english one that should have the same mission files and only differs concerning the german translation, and finally a polish one which has polish fonts and polish translated stuff inside, but AFAIK does not differ otherwise either.

I also made a zipped FM-like version of the original T2X v1.1 version once, if my memory is correct, and I think someone else did that as well.

There are other modifications that have been published (e.g., russian, spanish and probably italian and french versions) and text patches (made by gnartsch; correcting some text but no code) as well, but knowing you, I guess you're more interested in versions that differ concerning .mis files and such.

So, what do you wish to achieve, what exactly do you need?

voodoo47 on 24/3/2024 at 08:54

to make it short, a proper, "official" T2x 1.2 release, to make it a bit less short, a non-hd EN FMsel ready build that would be hosted reliably, ready to be linked the moment someone asks for T2x that actually works in the ND environment.

time to get the party started? getting links to everything mentioned and finding out what's what exactly (ask Ricebug?) would do for now. if it's found out there's just too much mess, we can start from square one, relighting levels really isn't a big deal (assuming no undocumented work has been done on the levels, undocumented fixes are a pain in the neck).

marbleman on 24/3/2024 at 09:58

You should start with Ricebug's version as it contains numerous fixes already, and they go way beyond relighting and DMLs. I have this version myself and can upload to gdrive if you want.

One thing I'm not a fan of in this version is that "enhanced" water is now the default because it makes it hard to see what's underwater in some spots. Would be nice to get rid of that.

As for the DMLs, not all of them seem to work. I have used the latest batch of DMLs provided by fortuni in my latest playthrough, and some of the fixes simply didn't seem to have any effect. Would also be good to look into that.
