sorry to ask this, but it seems that the new grafic behind the menu is a video right ? because i like thief3 startgrafic with the houses behind the menu... but only darker, or maybe replaced by a good picture like -> (http://www.thief-thecircle.com/thief3/art-location.asp) would be nice...

is there anyway to get this working without knowing to much, or better without leaving noob being ? ;) sorry for my bad english.

One should be able to do this by using THE DREADED PRINT SCREEN BUTTON, or other, less stonage means. After that, simple: now to do it...

BTW: ATI W00T!!!

To get rid of the Thief: Deadly Shadows overlay title in the main menu:

In T3UI.ini, search for the section [MainMenuWindow], and comment out the following line:

TitleObject=MainMenuTitleObject

so that it looks like such

;TitleObject=MainMenuTitleObject

Moving the SaveGame Folder

A number of you have said you dislike the way Thief: DS stores your saved games in your My Documents folder. Here are instructions on how to change this behavior. I'm running Windows 2000, but it should work on XP as well.

Disclaimer: Registry editing can cause a lot of problems with your Operating System and software if you're not careful. Although, this is not a difficult tweak, you may want to backup your registry beforehand (its good practice to backup your registry periodically anyway). As always, tweak at your own risk. Blaming Jahandar for your mishaps is strictly forbidden. ;)

Okay, with that disclaimer out of the way, on with the tweaking...

For those unfamiliar with registry editing, step-by-step instructions:
1. Open the Registry editor. Go to Start, Run, type "regedit" then press enter.
2. Navigate to "HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Ion Storm\Thief - Deadly Shadows" using the navigation pane on the left side of the window.
3. Look in the right pane of the window for an entry called "SaveGamePath," right-click it, choose Modify, and replace the Value Data with the location where you'd like Thief to store your SaveGames folder (I'd suggest using the location where you installed the game. Default: "C:\Program Files\Thief - Deadly Shadows").

For those who know what they're doing:
Go to "HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Ion Storm\Thief - Deadly Shadows" and modify the path specified by SaveGamePath.

Notes for Everyone:
The next time you play, the game will create a folder called SaveGames at the location you specified. If you already have games saved or if you've already configured your standard game settings (screen resolution, key binds, etc), you'll want to move/copy your old SaveGames folder to the path that you specified in SaveGamePath. Until then, you will not be able to load your saved games, and you'll have to reconfigure your settings.

Enjoy :)
