I have just run into a weird problem, or two, because I don't think they're related.
A) Whenever I try to customize keybindings, the game crashes.
I wanted to take a look at DromEd, and found and installed the DromEd toolkit. I could enter game mode, but not exit it, so I added the line "bind e+alt edit_mode" to user.bnd, as suggested by Nameless Voice in the toolkit thread. I tested it, and it worked fine.
Then, a few steps later in KoMaGs tutorial, I enter game mode again, and this time I'm utterly paralyzed. Can't do a thing, nothing works. I try to enter Thief 2 proper, and it's the same. So, I suspect user.bnd, and take a look at it, and it is indeed a big mess, like this:
Code:
bind + gamma_upbind , main_volume_downbind - gamma_downbind . main_volume_upbind /+alt "render_info 10"bind 0+alt show_poly etc.
I have then moved each command to a new line, such as this:
Code:
bind + gamma_up
bind , main_volume_down
bind - gamma_down
bind . main_volume_up
bind /+alt "render_info 10"
bind 0+alt show_poly
...
bow_zoom 1
joystick_enable 0
mouse_invert 0
lookspring 0
freelook 1
mouse_sensitivity 8.00000000
joy_rotate 0
joystick_sensitivity 1.0
joystick_deadzone 0.05
rudder_sensitivity 1.0
rudder_deadzone 0.05
auto_equip 1
auto_search 0
goal_notify 1
climb_touch 0
Now I can move around and use items, both ingame and in dromed game mode, but the game crashes when I try to customize controls. There is a blank line at the end of the file so that's not it.
Edit: Apparently this is notepad's fault. It just crunched all the lines up again, but fortunately I had made a backup. Have downloaded Notepad++ so it shouldn't happen again. Still, the problem with customizing keybindings persists.
B) I am in the middle of Blackmail, and have been for a while. I took a pause midway to play T1, and I just now noticed something really weird: the latest save plus quicksave is corrupted and will crash the game. The next-to last savegame takes forever to load and has very sluggish movement. The savegame before that takes abnormally long to load, and is also sluggish. The previous one loads very quickly, and responds exactly as it should.
I'll probably restart the mission and see if the problem persists, but it'd be nice if anyone knew if it is a problem with the game or just corruption in a savegame.
