I went ahead and hosted the NecroAge resource pack and the Thief2 HD Mod on (
http://www.bogadocious.com/thief.html) my site. The two files are tagged with the 'New' graphic.
I'm pretty familiar with NecroBob's work, but the HD mod (nearly 1 GB) is fairly "new." Correct me if I'm wrong, but it seems to be a compilation of Jermi's NewSkies, Nameless Voice's Enhancement Pack, C-BEAM's work, and some others. The (
http://www.moddb.com/mods/thief-2-hd-texture-mod) Home Page has very little in the way of credits, so I'm probably guessing at some of the source work. The included readme files are just as sketchy.
Also, after installing it, Thief2 crashes to the desktop.
Does anyone have any recommendations on this pack? I'm looking at it with a jaundiced eye until someone can convince me it's worth hosting.

Are you talking about Gecko's T2 HD mod? I believe NV's EPs are completely separate from that.
Btw, Gecko has a HD mod for Thief Gold as well.

I've posted this 2 weeks ago on the T2 HD mod thread:

I want to explain something about the "FAM" folders here:
The following 14 texture-folders are to 90% identical with the EP2 because of the included textures of "C-BEAM":
artdeco, artmisc, artdout, ceilpain, civicb2, civicbui, mbfloor, vinm01, vinm04, vinm07, vinm09, vinm012, vicvood, wdfloorThere are thus a total of about
310 same textures as contained in EP2.
All other 28 fam-folders (about
760 textures without counting water and lava textures) contain completely different textures than the EP2. So about
30% of the textures are identical with EP2.
I have also improved the missing wallpaper textures (
vinm01, vinm04, vinm07, vinm09, vinm012)
The mod includes also trees and bushes made by Daraan & Vurt72 (some with new textures made by myself).
All water and lava textures are made by myself + 70 % of all "fam" textures. There are also some textures made by Necrobob, Purgator and MaxED.
I will add jermi to the credits for his "skies" on the next HD mod version. That was not intentional!
edit:
@ Ricebug
Do you use the T2 HD mod in combination with the Necro Age mod or maybe other mods?
It should be no problem to use the T2 HD mod + EP2. But i don't know if there are maybe conflicts with other mods...

Cool. Now I can give Gecko credit. I perused that web site for awhile and became frustrated with all the ads. I thought it was an indie taffer who made the thing.
The only add-on I use is EP2. I may try NecroAge, simply because it sounds interesting.
