Tannar, vfig and PinkDot i´ve added your suggestions to the Thief french forum , let's hope Le Corbeau will stumble upon it and consider to add some of the features you've suggested for the next NewDark update (assuming there will be another NewDark update).
Thanks Cardia.
BTW. does anyone know if the new LOD property works on AI meshes too?
If not, I'd like to add this as a request - to have LODs working with AI. We can expect high-res AI models being popular sooner or later.

I'd like to see a function to automatically change the number of sides in brushes, ex: change all 12 sided cylinders in a mission into 24 sided cylinders.
Such a function would save much time when adjusting a mission getting close to cell and poly limits.

Yes, and once a shape has portalised, it would be great to be able to change it to a different shape if desired.

It does use the original source code indeed. I don't know if that's the copyright violation, but I know that the New Dark is available for free and it increases sales of games that are 20 years old now.
Any attempts to shut down the project would be a completely wrong thing to do, from a business point of view and not only. It's like having an enthusiastic employee, who does the work for free and brings money for the company while making other people happy. What's wrong about that?
So what?

I created a texture pack that had scans of stuff that was
thousands of years old and the forum went apeshit-even to the point of making cracks about having me arrested. Now if people are going to act like that (without any punishment btw) then something like NewDark that alters the core function of the copyrighted game engine should draw some serious scrutiny-or do we simply selectively apply the rules when it suits us?

An important distinction here is that we don't know much of anything about NewDark in terms of how it has been developed or by whom, or its legal status. The fact that both Steam and GoG use NewDark in their T1G and T2 packages at least suggests that it is assumed to be either legal or at least permitted by the copyright holder. With Steam in particular, I would be surprised if they had not taken measures to vet the legality of using it with the copyright holder, but none of that would be public knowledge. Point is, the legal status of NewDark is uncertain, unlike the texture pack you linked to.

Steam and GOG (and also ttlg) allowed ddfix years ago which is a cracked version since it removed the CD check. Well, they were quite happy with ddfix, no need for CD check on Steam & GOG.
We're off-topic, btw.

What about Internet photos categorized under Creative Commons licenses? If I take a CC Photo, and the work is at least 100 years old, but not an additional 70, is that breaking any kind of law?
EDIT: And if it is a CC-licensed-photo of an ancient painting (work of art)? Does that make a difference?
Further Edit As the works I intend to include were created well before 1976, "faithful reproductions of two-dimensional public domain works of art are public domain" - Wikimedia Foundation.
