Ok guys, Ive been lurking on these forums for a few nights now too see if I could I could pick up some info relating to my problem. So a Little background first.

Ive done a fresh install of Thief Gold to my PC. Win 7 64Bit. Took a bit of effort but i got it running ! Then I installed the Tfix 1.20a and selected all the 'Mods' T2 Sky etc. All fine so far !

Next I installed the EP2 but it was not being recognised and reading on the forums it said its a replacement to the ep Tfix1.20a installs so that you can simply rename it to ep and then overwrite the ep in your MODS directory. I renamed the origional ep first , just in case, and then dropped ep2 in there and renamed it ep.crf

Ok so then when I launched Thief Gold I had all the glory of the new textures. I was really impressed. But then i started to notice little things !

Flashing Water Texture !

So back i snukto the forums and discoverd that you need to modify the cam_mod.ini and i added the command 'uber_path mods\ep' to the bottom of the uber mod section ! The rest were commented out apart from one in the mod_path section which reads :-

'mod_path usermods+mods\EP2fix+mods\EP\Thief1+EP2\Thief1+EP2+mods+mods\t2skies+mods\EP'

I saved the file and entered the shadows and low and behold I had a great new water texture that didnt flash back to the low resolution murky green texture. I was fair impressed with myself, Nothing could stand in my way. I was a Master Thief and no guard was going to stop me !

Untill

I noticed that the Torches were reversed ! They had spun 180 degrees with the torch facing the wall and its wall support bracket facing outwards. It seemed to be fine apart from that. It was lit,the flame was in the right place and it smokes etc. So somewhat cretfallen i retreated once more to cower in the forums.

I soon came across a juicy tit bit of information from a Nameless source ;) and a contradictory nugget that said it was guff :D . From these two morsels of info I thought I was sure to be able to modify my approach to ensure that the torches were in the right orientation.

I went back to my cam_mod.ini and altered my uber_mod_path command to read :-

uber_mod_path mods\ep\Thief1+\mods\ep

Saved the file once more and took a deep breath and ventured into the night !

Well it sorted my torches but i lost the new textures and the flashing water texture is back.

Talk about a thief in a circle ! 0_0

So I hope one of my fellow guild members will have the insight to assist this poor creature that throws himself at your mercy for I know not if I have done ill nor how to rectify the problem.

The flashing water can also be caused by the sky or distant art. If you have added any skys, try disabling them. Something in the ep may be doing this also. Try disabling the ep, and see if the flashing water along with the other problems go away.
