NTEX high-res texture pack version 1.3 for Thief 2 (and normal texture version 1.12)

I can't get this to show the *.dds textures no matter what I try. I just see the white surfaces with the small black line things on their edges, so it seems that the dummy textures in NTEXdds.crf are shown, but not the .dds ones inside the ".\RES\ddfix\ntex" folder. Does anyone have any idea what might be the cause of this? I also have the EP Enhancement Pack and the new light gem installed, but removing those didn't solve the problem, nor did adding the NTEX textures from the NTEXdds.crf package into EP.crf (like Undead Gamer said he did on the first page).

EDIT: The old zipped 1.12 pcx version works fine.

For those having trouble trying to get both the NTEX High-Res Texture Pack & Enhancement Pack (EP) for Objects running on Thief 2, but can only get one or the other to run, but not both at the same time, you have to modify your darkinst.cfg file as follows:

install_path .\
language english
resname_base .\NTEXdds+.\res%+.\EP+.\Res
load_path .\
script_module_path .\
movie_path .\movies

The '%' after '.\NTEXdds+.\res' is what is required for both to work.

Now, the above is assuming you have properly installed both texture packs (NTEX High-Res Texture Pack & Enhancement Pack (EP) for Objects) and everything else is correct. This was the last thing I had to do, after a myriad of other various attempts, to get them both to work.

Everything is working awesome now at 1920X1200 - The game has never looked so good.

I hope this helped everyone/anyone else having the same issues and struggles.

Just so you guys know, I tried the NTEX texture pack and I'm also having problems with the grass in Eavesdropping. It's not loading properly or something. My video card is an ATI Mobility Radeon HD 3650.

That's a bug from ddfix, so don't be worry...

I have installed the Ntex 13 but it does not work properly. I have used the installer on Windows 7.
My dark inst file is:

Code:

cd_path g:\
install_path m:\juegos\Thief2
language english
resname_base .\NTEXdds+m:\juegos\Thief2\res+g:\thief2
load_path m:\juegos\Thief2+g:\thief2
script_module_path m:\juegos\Thief2+g:\thief2
movie_path m:\juegos\Thief2\movies+g:\thief2\movies

Thief 2 is installed in m:/juegos/Thief2 folder.

In the game, some textures are ok, but there is many white textures along the level. What I'm doing wrong?
