just as barely anyone knows about t2water,t2skies,EP and a ton of other great stuff.why?
Maybe it is not about "not knowing", but about not "wanting to".
It is always a matter of taste whether you prefer "classic" Thief graphics (low-res textures, objects with less than 300 polys etc. etc.) or all those visual updates.
I personally prefer the old look without all those fancy things like t2water.
Why? I simply got used to it during the past 11 years and I want my Thief to stay as "classic" as possible. But that's just my very personal opinion and not meant as any offence against the people who are actually making those updates.

'cause almost nobody knows that both the mission and the renderer have been fixed.just as barely anyone knows about t2water,t2skies,EP and a ton of other great stuff.why? because all (ok,make it most of) that good stuff is just scattered around the forum-no stickies,no updated faqs,no big frontpages with screenshots and videos at ttlg.com screaming "hey,look at all the beautiful things we have here,with this,your thief/shock experience will be greater than ever before"..
Not to hijack this thread or anything, but I've been thinking along those same lines, so I started working on (
http://www.southquarter.com/install) this page (big time WIP). I thought it would be helpful to have everything in one place, and no old dead megaupload links or anything.

Has the demo Uninvited Guest been adapted/ported as a T2 FM?

Thanks a lot. I know at least one Thief 4 developer has read that Gamasutra article and some of my other work, I don't know what his exact views on it any of it are though.
Well I actually copied your response from Gamasutra to the Eidos Thief 4 forums, hoping that someone from EM would read it. Great if that happened.

Why would someone do that if it's perfectly playable as a demo?

My guess is added convenience.

So that all of the lovely fixes and improvements can be applied to it?

For example? You can perfectly apply Ddfix to the demo.

Could you explain how to do that? Do I need to manually edit the .exe, as I can't get the GUI version of DDFix to recognise the demo executable.
Cheers.
