Full Installer
On the next step you can choose between this three HD mod versions:
New Grass Vegetation (Animated) (5.9 GB) = The new grass and some trees are animated (sort of wind effect)
New Grass Vegetation (Static) (5.5 GB) = The new grass and trees are static
Original Vegetation (4.8 GB) = Without the new grass
For the best grass look you should set Anti-Aliasing to 4x or higher!
Why is this so big?
The T2 HD mod v1.0 has now also included all T1 textures for the FM mode!
There are also a lot of new T2 textures.
At the end of the installation you will see the option 'Enable LAA and higher object counts'.
The T2 HD mod won't work correctly if you disable this option. So it's required to leave it checked!!
If you have unchecked it (unfortunately) you can do it simply manuelly by double clicking the 'LAA.cmd' file which you will find in the HDMOD folder after installation.
If it's successfully patched you will see the popup window 'Large Address Aware successfully enabled in file: 'thief2.exe'.
NewDark Graphics Settings Tool v1.1
- If you move the mouse cursor over a button you will see a short info about the function!
- Subtitles are enabled by default! Use the Tool to disable them!
New Screen Overlay Blood FX:
The new blood FX is disabled by default. You can activate it with the "NewDark Graphics Settings Tool".
New Grass Vegetation:
If you have installed 'New Grass Vegetation' you will find it in some choosen areas. The grass uses the 'LOD' system what comes with NewDark.
The default LOD grass distance is set to low for better performance. But you can change the values if you want!
How to change LOD settings:
To do that go to HDMOD folder and open up the file called 'gamesys.dml' with Notepad and search for 'Grass LOD Distance'.
These two values are important:
"LOD 0->1 Dist" 30.00
"LOD 1->2 Dist" 45.00
The value for 'LOD 0->1 Dist' should always be lower than for 'LOD 1->2 Dist'.
You can try this for example:
"LOD 0->1 Dist" 65.00
"LOD 1->2 Dist" 75.00
Higher values = needs more GPU and CPU power! Find your own value.

Thanks for this HD remastering. I'm starting to go through it all over again, but first... better check my map...
Does this come with character models too? I hear NecroAge has character models.
So I already installed T2Fix can I install this over it?
Please make ultimate difficulty mod for this
Dear Bentraxx, my dearest respect and cheer for this wonderful piece of work! However - I just installed Thief 2 with the TFix 1.27b - does your HD mod work with it?
It worked fine for me.
question, in the preview looks really bright and im not sure if its deliberately done that way. iirc TMA really dark and gives that hiding immersive feeling. is it gonna be this bright?
I would really like to see the Ultimate Difficulty Mod made available for use with Thief 2 HD Mod like you've done already for Thief Gold HD Mod.
Only thing that's missing for me.
Keep up the good work!
its possible to play the t2hdmod 1.0 with NecroAge?
You should add the Lamp you included in The Mines Map in Thief Gold as an optional download.
