Easily Installed High Res. Textures. - by John P.

THIS IS AN OLD THREAD NOW - I HAVE EDITED THIS FIRST POST TO REFLECT THE CHANGES MADE SINCE IT WAS MADE, SINCE THE THREAD WAS DRAGGED BACK UPI have made a few high res. textures and gameplay and menu specific textures, and put them into an installer that will automatically install them to your Thief: Deadly Shadows game, without any hex editing or the like on your part.
My Collective Texture Pack installer will create an uninstaller that will bring the game back to it's original state when you run it (if you want to uninstall my textures).
I have tested my installer on my own system, both install and uninstall, and it's in use by probably hundreds of gamers with few bug reports received.
But since we're talking PCs here, and multiple PC users/configurations, I'll be up for bug reports if there are any.
I would also recommend that you use 'clean' .ibt files before you use my installer(s).
By clean .ibt files I mean ones that are not already "tampered" with.
So - here's the link to my Thief: DS textures:
(

You will find some screen shots of how the textures look, but I would recommend looking at them ingame before making any judgement.
I hope you'll enjoy some of it. :)

Nice to see they're up to your usual high standard. Is the installer using K^2's new ibt overrider, or does it copy them over the originals?

They are very, very nice! Damm good job! :)

Very smooth textures...very, very nice. I like the installer, too. Much easier than having to hex edit. Good job, thanks...

Great work as always, and nice work on the installers too btw.
The new Garrett textures actually make me want to use the third person camera more, they look fantastic.
Any chance of a screenshot of the new main menu backdrop? Is there one somewhere? I don't want to use that texture pack for various reasons (I've already tweaked some of those things myself, and I don't want to change the frob highlight because of those rare occasions when I use third person, it screws up the nice highlight on Garrett), but I'd be interested to see what you've done with the main menu screen, I hate it :)

Excellent Job!
Especially like the frob glow - very nicely done (and btw it doesnt highlight/screw the Garrett 3rdperson model).
How about some redoing of the Cradle Patients textures? :ebil:

Me too. It's so blurry and low-res, it's screams "Lame afterthought" at you. Which is strange, considering the menu is often the face of the game.
