Looking Glass Studios released the sequel to Thief in 2000. Utilizing the same DARK engine that powered the original Thief, Thief II had an almost identical look and feel, with only minor graphical and programming improvements. The basic gameplay was also fundamentally similar to the original Thief, but many new elements had been added, including technological gadgets such as a remote eye camera. Other changes include an increase in the number of A.I. behaviors, and the addition of female guards and soldiers. Responding to criticisms of the original Thief, the missions in Thief II were designed much more around typical thief-like behavior, and much of the game is spent robbing the rich denizens of the City rather than battling monsters. In fact, the player encounters almost none of the monsters from the original Thief except for burrick heads mounted as trophies in some of the mansions, and a few zombies and apparitions.

Description

For the past few months Child of Karass immolated his freetime to care about the SFX sounds from the first thief series. In times when processors are running in Ghz, we don't need to deal with noisy 8 bit ADPCM-compressed soundfiles at 11 or 22 kHz, like they were used in Thief 1 or 2. So I took various tools from my computer and edited the soundfiles. This includes resampling, equalizing, noise reduction, complete sample replacement (e.g. from Thief 3 or Apple Garage Band) or brilliance enhancement. The result can be heard. Sounds are much cleaner and more detailed than before and so bring an more realistic atmosphere into the game. Update Version 1.5 (2012-12-27): - New installation routine that checks the existence of snd.crf in both RES and CRFS folder before continuing - many Thief 3 sounds (doors, foot steps) exchanged with restored Thief 1/2 sounds - various sound fixes (e.g. tension1.wav for Thief 1)

This sound effects addon for Thief 2, also is changing/removing some of the original blackjack sounds. The same problem it's in Sound Effects Enhancement pack addon for Thief 1/Gold.
