this is going to sound strange to a lot of people but concerning books,i have played a hand full of fan missions where sometimes i see a book different titles but always talk about "kevel"
starting to think there must be some sub group of mission makers where that has some meaning to more then we the regular play knows about
why is kevel mentioned so much in books titles=if you see a book in a bookshelf and frob it the title appears on screen,not a readable book,but kevel is in title
maybe he is the god character from thief universe?

@downwinder: "Is that you, Cavil?" or Kevel, or however you want to spell it is one of the female servant's lines for level one alert: SV2A1__3 in fact. It's just a bit of an in-joke to reference it.

isn't there a hilarius convo in one of the (early) fanmissions where there is a wife upstairs ranting to "kevel" (who is always drunk) when you enter a house, near a canal/water If I remember correct...

Yeah it's from the Keeper of The Prophecies campaign by frobber. I was watching fenphoenix's playthrough of it not too long ago and your description of it is spot on :laff:

@skacky: does the limitation on custom resources also preclude custom books? I don't mean changing the general book art; I mean specific, unique readables where they're done as an image because text alone wouldn't suffice: like the Keeper's map in THC, and the Book of Ash in LotP. I'd like to include one or two such within my mission if they're allowable.
That's a very good question. I'm tempted to say no, since that includes new UI graphics that are only allowed for the in-game map(s). Yandros, what do you think?

Hmmmmm, I think it could go either way. My inclination is to allow it in the spirit of allowing custom maps, although it could be abused.

Okay, how about this: custom book art is allowed, but limited. Something like 2 custom book arts maximum, sounds good?

That's good enough for me. Thanks!

Would custom art for paintings be allowed?
Also any desaturation of textures?
