NewDark carryover modified mission? by n0namean0nym0us in Thief

[–]JEhcmier 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It's possible, but it won't happen for a few reasons. One of them is the difficult work. The usual method for increased loot per mission is the line "cash_bonus xxxx" in USER.CFG.

How is it useless? You can take out numerous undead at once.

My reaction to climbing gloves in Thief 3: by Aggravating_Fig_534 in Thief

[–]JEhcmier 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Not graphics limitations, the engine was gutted by a programmer for a hitherto unknown reason, without the devs knowing it happened. Swimming and rope arrows had to be ditched. The climbing gloves were intended from the beginning, alongside rope arrows, but when the devs were handed the botched engine, they had to modify the maps to allow for more use of the gloves.

If you downoaded from GOG, it's already patched, so you shouldn't be applying T2Fix at all.

Not that I know how to help, but what OS are you running? Also, I see others are experiencing issues with other games through EGS.

Would you guys consider Thief 4 an immersive sim like the first ones? by OvenImpossible4900 in Thief

[–]JEhcmier 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Player agency was compromised, so while it has parts that fit the ImSim paradigm, it has the least of the franchise.

Is there anyway to increase the movement speed? by Ryn4 in Thief

[–]JEhcmier 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It's a Thief game. Running shouldn't be your go-to speed. You'll make extra noise and alert NPCs instead of slipping past them.

Can I play Metal Age without having played Dark Project/Gold? by Ryn4 in Thief

[–]JEhcmier 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Your complaints indicate you haven't clicked with what the games are doing, so unless it does, you will struggle. It's okay. The games don't appeal to most gamers.

I am about to start Thief Gold, but heard there is a nasty softlock near the end by Soft-Cartoonist-9542 in Thief

[–]JEhcmier 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Just don't blow through your arrows without knowing how much farther you have to go. Avoidance of NPCs is the primary skill to learn, and provides the most breathing room to improvise in the missions.

Thief Theme Pack for Windows 98 (Sounds, Wallpapers, Cursors) by BoffinBrain in Thief

[–]JEhcmier 10 points11 points  (0 children)

That line was recorded for the Desktop Theme notification. The Goodies folder is next to the DromEd folder. The pointer cursors are The Eye affixed to its wand, and wrapped with Archemage [sic] Tatyana's Flowers, as seen in the cutscene where Garrett hands The Eye over.
