Upscaled textures and fixed material file for Thief: Deadly Shadows. This is Light version of the main mod with most of the textures being downscaled twice (but still better quality than the original ones). But with full functionality of edited material library. Some menu textures were excluded to improve loading times. If you don't know what to download - download this version.
There could be possible graphic glitches based on user hardware with upscaled environment maps. If you encounter them - delete this files:
env_noise_01.dds
Env_WaterA01.dds
INVarrowENVMAP.dds
refmap_gold.dds
refmap_silver.dds
turbulence_01.dds
turbulence_gold.dds
turbulence_ruby.dds
Changelog v5.3:
Optimized pack by creating mip-maps for most of the textures (except some HUD elements, fonts, loading screens).
Loading times tested on my computer:
Vanilla game: 00:10
Full mod v5.2: 01:40
Full mod v5.3: 01:08
Light mod v5.2: 00:40
Light mod v5.3: 00:34
Also I tested performance for the latest version with and without materials improvements (deleting T3Fix.mlb)
Full mod v5.3: 01:08
Full mod v5.3 without materials: 01:05
Light mod v5.3: 00:34
Light mod v5.3 without materials: 00:29
There is very little difference so I suggest to play with improved materials, they add a lot
Changelog v5.2:
Since there was no negative feedback on TTLG, I hope this will be the last patch for the mod
- moved some menu screens between Menu & Loading Screens folder and Textures folder, fixing some misplacements
- turbulence_01.dds, turbulence_gold.dds and turbulence_ruby.dds were upscaled using Deus Ex: Invisible War env_noise_01.dds texture (it's the same turbulence_XXX texture with different name, but in higher resolution)
- 16 empty textures were added from METAselectionFrob_M001.dds to METAselectionFrob_M016.dds to improve engine handling of environment maps. May fix brown textures bugs on some machines
- maybe some small non-important changes
