Higher quality light gem and health icons for T1/G, T2 and FMs - now with variations

Digital Nightfall on 8/11/2008 at 21:41

I posted the high quality interface graphics I made for MX to the editor's guild in case anyone wanted to use them. In addition to including them in any new FM, any player can drop them into their thief folder and enjoy higher quality interface graphics in T1/G, T2, or any FM that does not have its own custom graphics.

The zip file has an obj folder. Just put the obj folder inside your Thief folder, and it should work.

Edit: Mentioned this in the TEG post, but forgot to here ... the shields are so dark in the screenshot because they're partially transparent.

Edit 2: These have been tested with and confirmed to work with Thief 1/Gold!

Edit 3: I've uploaded a new version of both the health icons (more like the originals) and the light gem (a more minimalist approach, doing away with the back plaque and the warning light!)

Why are the shields so dark?

Digital Nightfall on 9/11/2008 at 16:58

Because they're transparent.

Aha!

I suppose I should have guessed, since I did exactly the same thing for myself a couple years ago. I also modified the light gem so that as it gets darker it also gets more transparent.

I am thinking of doing a more EP compatible version of this (more faithful health icons), which would also work in T1/G. I probably will. (Do TGA files work in T1/G?)

Good idea. Specifically, all the filenames used must be the same because otherwise it will interfere with FMs that have a custom light gem or health shields (e.g. those using new textures only without custom models).

So that kind of rules out using TGA anyway.

Just for confirmation, I already applied the light gem to my thief gold install, so yes it works.;)

Yes, TGA files work in thief gold. You need to put ObjTextures16 and MeshTextures16 in dark.cfg however.

Is it possible to make the gem bigger than it is now?

Say, the light gem becomes a mini-image of garret, which becomes more or less transparent based on his light level.
