Can see so much work and time is being invested into careful research and focus on authentic detail of the period. No blatant misrepresentation, historical inaccuracies and stupid nonsense like in The Hollow Crown series.

Thanks for this. Works well. Saves time, convenient.

Just installed the new supply drops with the patch and all is working fine. Greatly appreciate having that auto corner cam again. Back in business and much looking forward to trying out more of the new stuff included. Once again many thanks man.

That's really good news about the cam. All being well that can be fixed without those errors you mentioned. Personally, I have become so reliant on that auto-cam and without having to manually activate it, playstyle has changed a lot from having that one mechanic that it certainly would be a deal breaker for me to have to use the run key, so it'll be excellent to have that back in game with the new supply drops. Looking forward to that update. Thanks again.

Thanks man.

The new default snake cam is great to have, freeing up the item slot and having it equipped on all squad mates by default, working fine on closed doors. However, the snake cam no longer automatically activates around corners, it will work (sort of/usually) when right up against a corner when aiming at a precise spot by pressing the shift(run) key but this can often be very tricky to achieve, slow, and kind of buggy as it will try to activate but doesn't and gets caught in the animation of lowering the weapon and becomes annoying/frustrating. In the previous version the snake cam on corners while crouched I found was sure and responsive, could move around the maps more quickly and confidently, move up to corners, cam activates automatically, quick check and and move on, great smooth flowing game play. I just tested both (previous and new versions) and most unfortunately had to revert to using the old supply drops and Jo's old weapon pack. If you could consider bringing back that auto cam on corners mechanic (if it's possible) in a future update it would be most appreciated. Thanks Twi.

regarding the issue about the weapons not showing up - Guest Aug25? that was my post "bogsider" - wasn't signed in, problem resolved, managed to get the weapons pack installed fine regarding the 2d/3d ironsights problem as someone else pointed out, problem appears to be with all the primary weapons in the weapons pack apart from the MP5 variants, the custom Marsoc MK18 is affected too but it seems the regular supplydrop weapons are not affected, personally it's not an issue because i will always opt to use a scope. but of course other players do like to use ironsights

Yes. Unfortunately, I have the same problem, too. Hopefully there'll be a fix for it in the future.

jo92 Disregard the above, I managed to get the weapons installed and working fine, I deleted the SupplyLoc.int and SupplyDrop.mod files replaced them with new ones, installed the weapons pack again and this time they showed up. And those weapons do sound awesome. Many thanks for this.

Right. I suspected that was the case. Actually, after some deliberation, I had already gone ahead with the regular campaign (have reached Jagged Silver) with the intent on going back replaying it and doing exactly what you said, playing each mission with 'supply drops' . It may have seemed like a trivial thing this but the way you guys, Twi, ac11b and yourself have reformed this game into a 'masterpiece' really, I did want to get the best out of Athena.
Again. Many thanks.

Many thanks for this very clear and easy to follow modding guide.

I just finished the main campaign with it fully modded as per your instructions, works flawlessly. One thing I did need to do for personal preference was to use the free program 'X Mouse Button Control' enabling the mouse thumb buttons for stance which can simulate the C and X key, works well.

I do have one question, I did ask in another forum here, but probably in the wrong place. Is it possible to activate 'supply drops' and play the Athena Sword 'Campaign'? I can play the Athena missions from the 'Custom Missions' menu, but it seems I can't start Athena or Iron Wrath campaigns with 'supply drops' activated, as I've never played Athena Sword before, for a first time play through I'd like to do it as a progressive campaign with 'supply drops', not as individual missions. Any reply appreciated.

I just finished the main campaign with supply drops activated, but unfortunately I can't play Athena or Iron Wrath 'Campaign' with supply drops activated. The single missions from Athena and Iron Wrath are available in the custom games, but no way to play them as a regular campaign. Is that right? Is there something I need to add in the mod folder to Athena and Iron Wrath or am I missing something else? Any help appreciated.

Ok. I'll have a look down there again this evening. Thanks.

Hey thanks. Hmmm. Let me see, kinda hard to say. Just finished the area in 'pestilence' after the spiders, there was only a locked door in that area i believe after i burned the web, I came back up through the tunnel, went into 'consumption' been everywhere down the staircase found the notes about the bridge etc, upstairs in 'consumption there is nothing but a locked door, there is also an area with a hatch i think, dropped down there, but another locked door, went outside into the 'quadrangle' placed the two artifacts i had (i need three more) went back into the 'basin' and again into 'pestillence'..... can't find anything in the notes i've collected i reinstalled the new 1.1 version hoping there maybe extra notes to find which might help, but i'm just missing something and unfortunately i just don't have the time available to search around indefinitely, but i really like the mod and would like to finish it

Nice mod this one but totally stuck on this, been everywhere many times. Unfortunately, there aren't any completed let's plays on YT yet.

I have never played a homeworld game. For a first time playthrough, would it be advisable to use this mod or not?

Wow - The Burning 1981, The Final Terror 1983, my personal favorites, still got those on VHS- early 80s golden era of slashers. This is something I'm really looking forward to like i was with Alien Isolation being a kind of tribute to the original Alien movie. These games i can relate to much more than say Amnesia or Dead Space. Amazing work.

Really would like to play this but i have an issue with saving progress, and i read there is no autosave - installed This is War fine, hotkeys working fine - at the beginning in Combat mission on the beach i made a save Num 0, message came up Emergency save/Checkpoint successful, is this save is just a temp save? cause i can reload this save from the menu within the game but if i exit This is War and restart there is no continue, it starts the combat mission again from scratch. In the This is War folder in the main directory there are two .txt files and a .lua file there is no esave file which i take as being a hard save not a temp save or where should i look to find my hard saves (if any are being made)? There is something about saving the profile (profile.txt) do i need to do that? Thanks for any help

Just got this mod installed and looking forward to playing it, unfortunately I didn't realize it was an Axis campaign, I was hoping for more defensive tactics on a large scale from the Russian side. The Blitzkrieg Kursk mod is also from the Axis side. Still looks like a great mod. Thanks.

Just finished my first playthrough of Thief Gold with the HD mod, beautiful graphics, amazing game, vast levels and very challenging, all went well no problems at all except for parts of The Lost City where some of the large fires caused fps drops, though problem solved with a few water arrows, other than that it was great to finally play this game with these modern textures. Thanks.

disregard - I installed the hardcore option gamedata and the icons have reappeared

I need help. I ran the 0.8 hotfix (not the hardcore option) running reloaded 0.8 beta obviously and now my inventory is empty, there are no item icons displayed, the icons are gone. The items are there, I can run the cursor over them and the written details of the items are displayed, this is with an old save and starting a new game. I've been tweaking this game a lot to get ready to play it soon, but now I'm stuck and don't want to have to reinstall everything again as it's running fairly well as in minimal stutters. Any help appreciated.

Thief Gold HD Mod v0.9.0 installed with ease with the TFix and running very smoothly on my aging amd dual core with ati hd4850, great mod with amazing visuals for such an old game, waited a long time for this but well worth the wait, very pleased, mod of the year, thanx again.

Thief Gold HD Mod v0.9.0 version installed fine and is running very smoothly on my older desktop with an amd dual core and ati 4850, thanx for this

will try that. thanx

downloaded and followed all the steps installed fine, beautiful textures, colors, water etc. unfortunately, it's just too demanding for my notebook with a GT640M, couldn't keep a steady framerate, in the corridors 60FPS but in the training yard and in mission one in the town, there were framerate drops from 60 to 30FPS creating awful stuttering, tried to lock the framerate to 30 with DXtory but the framerate would drop into the mid 20s, i will certainly want to play this when i upgrade next year to a next gen gaming desktop and Asus G-sync monitor, until then.

after many years i decided to play the Thief series, finished Deadly Shadows last month and was going to play Thief Gold next but i couldn't until this was released, played Dishonored in the meantime, i thought this game was long forgotten but not so, i've been very much looking forward to this, THNX
