Hi all!
Is there any way to play the original, Thief: The Dark Project version of the Lost City level (the one without the Hand Mages and with the water elemental), via NewDark Thief Gold? I mean, I would like to enjoy the original level with the advantages of newdark, but still as original as possible, so I wouldn't like to play it via Thief2.
Thank you in advance!

there is no such thing as NewDark TG, NewDark is just NewDark. dropping TFix lite on a fully patched install of TDP will get you as close to the original experience as possible.

what top post is obviously saying is he wants to play thief 1 the dark project version of lost city,not the terrible thief gold version

yes, and I'm giving him the best way of accomplishing exactly that.

If you don't want to use Tfix, you can just patch your Dark Project install manually with New Dark.
And...this doesn't have anything to do with fan missions.

as mentioned quite a few times, NewDarking TDP/TG is not as straightforward, as a bunch of fixes need to be applied to approximate the original behavior (most notably, the oversensitive AI fix).
don't do it unless you are very, very sure you know what you are doing.

Well, this seems to be the best option. By fully patched TDP you mean 1.18?
Thanks a lot!

it's been awhile since I've done something with TDP, but the last official version was 1.33, I believe.

I think 1.33 was TG version number!

There were two final release versions of Thief The Dark Project: 1.14 and 1.33. Thief Gold only had one release version, 1.37. Installing 1.33 and applying TFix Lite will most likely achieve what you want.
