God damn, I wish somebody was actually here to help me. :S

Nondescriptive thread title? Check. Unable to follow instructions? Check. Aggressive towards people who are trying to help? Check.

Not the best first impression there, CelineT. :(

Uh, where exactly was she aggressive?

<Username> on 16/1/2011 at 17:36

I feel the part that I quoted comes off as passive-aggressive. After several people emailing and posting tips, it sounds like "Gee wizz, wish people here weren't so useless in solving my problems."

let it go,guys-most newbies need some time to learn the basics of forum rules/etiquette.no need to rub it in.

its not like he/she was swearing or something.

I like your attitude, voodoo47. Alright. :)

Perhaps a scattering of emoticons would have helped. I had to google :S which seems to have a couple of meanings. And I have no idea what ;_; is.

Weeping. That one is read vertically, with the semicolons as eyes (the upper dots), with tears trailing down the cheeks (the commas below the dots). All too dramatic.

Actually, it was at myself. I've been given plenty of help, of course. It's just that I've been trying to fix this game for six hours, all to have it change nothing.

To the first person linking the stuff to me. I read the instructions and opened the file in the Thief folder, the extracted files just didn't have the .ini file. And when I opened it, it said it wasn't installed properly. I was super stressed because I couldn't get it to work at all.

I mean it as being worried. :S Wobbly mouth, I think it's for. It also means confused... But it's not that one I'm after.

It's not them. Clearly. How would you even interpret what I said as that? :confused:

There's no blusing emote. :\

if you had only a small peek at the readme,you would know that all you have to do is use ddfixGUI.exe to patch your game.let me quote it for you:

alternatively,you can just download a pre-patched exe to avoid the process completely,from the (http://www.ttlg.com/forums/showthread.php?t=121449) very same thread I have already linked before.

edit: I'll just link everything you need directly:
(http://www.saleck.net/Downloads/Thief-TheDarkProjectGold/DDFix-Thief1.zip) pre-patched tg exe
(http://jermi.dyndns.org/~jermi/ddfix/ddfix_1.5.11.zip) latest version of ddfix

extract both archives to your thief folder,overwrite if required,and with a bit of luck,you will be able to play right away.note: set your desired resolution by editing cam.cfg (notepad should do) and modifying the game_screen_size line (widescreen resolutions are supported).

I'd already downloaded the patch, I was couldn't find the .ini file I think the instructions said I needed.

EDIT: And I read the read me. It said I could use a hex editor. I didn't understand what that was.

Thanks all. I'll review the stuff you put up here, and see if I can get it to work.

I think it'd be best if I stuck to modern games... *deep sigh*

I hope you get it working, CelineT. But just so you know, there's a forum rule about multiple posts in succession - and you just broke it 5 times. ;) Preferable to edit the first post to add additional responses if no one has replied. Good luck with DDFix, it has made Thief a pleasure to run on modern PCs.
