So, where do i put these wonderful stuff? Right into the thief2 folder? Do i need to edit cam_mod.ini?

yes, FAM goes into the root of the Thief folder, no need to edit anything.

I dropped the new lava into Drymian Codex and it looks fantastic! Now I only wish there was more lava in the mission. :sweat:

@Gecko: I don't know. For some reason the water looks somewhat like melted plastic or melted wax, not like water. And the lava looks like red water not like lava at all. Just my opinion.

Yes, maybe slightly too plastic, but i like it. Been having big difficulties with that myself when doing my waters. At least it's a great improvement over the default, which is what matters.

I agree that the lava isnt perfect at all, though it's on level (sometimes better) than other games i've looked at with the same limitions i'm working with - games from around 1999-2000. Again, feel free to give examples (they need to be from games from this period, i cant's add shaders and stuff or do something as realistic as in a youtube video of real lava, doubt anyone could). Though if you find a video of lava where they show it straight from above in a pool that could be interesting to see (similar to how it's presented in Thief), havent found anything like that myself.

I think it´s a question of taste. For some, it is probably too much plastic look.

I´m not sure but if you mean the red water in my video...it is red water and no lava :cheeky:

I´ve created another water type mod. Take a look :)

I like that water better than what was in the 0.8 demo above.

It´s also my favorite ;)
