I noticed that these two don't start their convo unless you are very close to them. Might be worth to adjust their scripts, though.

I tried this out with a new game and in the tutorial when you are supposed to get your lockpicks, I got the "Upgrade acquired" message...but then no lockpicks. Was kinda stuck at that point.
Is this a known thing that I missed?

Could it be because you're expecting T1-2 style lockpicking instead of just frobbing the door? The Inn mission is currently not included in T3G, so you should get the same behaviour as in the original game.
Thanks for your improved T3 icon by the way. :)

Anyone ever try putting in the T1 / T2 inspired key system that I included in T3EnhancED?

No, I can't just frob the door - it highlights, but nothing happens, and if I go look at the "Gear" menu, I don't have lockpicks.
The game also stutters quite badly for a second when I try to frob the door.
Here's a video of the bug in action:

You can see where I frob the door when the camera turns to the left after the door is highlighted and both item hud elements pop up empty at the same time. The camera turn is automatic, and it sits there unmoving for a second - you see me shake the camera a bit, but I'm actually doing that the whole time, so from the frob until you actually see the camera shake, it's just stuck there.
And glad people like the icons. I did those years ago and I'm amused whenever I see them pop up.
Edit: I just clicked on Garrett in the gear menu, and I do in fact show the lockpick upgrade when I should. So now I have absolutely no idea why it doesn't work...
Later Edit: It's fixed now. Snobel mentioned that lockpick issues were usually caused by high framerates, and sure enough I was at 120hz. Locking it back at 60hz and it works fine.

Weird. :weird: I've PM'ed you some suggestions (to let the thread stay on topic).
Edit: Turns out that the frame rate limiter in the SU is not enough to fix these issues in display modes with high refresh rates.

I've been playing Through Thief3 Gold, and managed to have stuck with it past the 4th level for the first time since I first beat T3 in 2004. It's SOOO much more fun and immersive without the loading zones. It's a pity the City itself can't be cured of them, but I really have to commend you guys for putting so much effort into this. Thanks guys. ^_^ I haven't really noticed any bugs, but I have a few comments I'll post once I finish.

Just a quick status report: I've done...nothing. :p Seriously, I've had three free days between two larger trips (the next being to the USA tomorrow) but as soon as the first weekend of May is over, I hopefully can tackle the issues which have been reported. I'm lurking the forums, by the way, so take my online status with a grain of salt since mostly I won't bother to log in. To those testing: Keep up the good work! :thumb:

Your hardwork is greatly appreciated! Have fun in the USA :)
