anyone know where the first place in thief 2 the ripoff11.gif can be found?
it is the salsbury cathedral picture. i want to get that picture in real life and then want to have a screenshot to schow people where it is in thief 2. I was going to go on a hunt for it myself but I don't have time to case every mission and play through the whole game again right now.
thank you

I don't know if it was even used in-game. If it was it's not included among the many paintings in the object hierarchy.

Edit: long story short, jtr7 is right, it's not listed in the object hierarchy and wasn't given a model name or number ((
http://www.ttlg.com/forums/showthread.php?p=223470#post223470) link), so there's apparently no model for it to even exist in-game.
I was going to say there's a command you can type into dromed that will tell you the answer in a few seconds, you just open each mission and type
hilight_obj_type -###, with the "-###" being the model number (or you could type its model name, something like paint##), and if the painting exists it will highlight (then type
hilight_render 1, and everything else but it will become invisible; "hilight_render 0" returns them), then you can just zoom in, go into game-model next to it, and take the screenshot. But if there's no model name or number to even search for, there's nothing to even find. Edit2: If it turns out another model uses the same image, then use that. If it's in the game at all, that's the only way I can think to find it.

Would that find ripoff11 if it's not in the paintings? 'Cause I went through all the painting objects. That would come in handy.:)

I edited my post to double-check how this works and you can see the answer now ... no it can't (afaik).

Thanks for all your research efforts, demagogue!:o Well, I'm glad my findings are confirmed, if only because it means I didn't mess up.:p

Is this our Salisbury Cathedral, in Salisbury, Wiltshire?

Thanks for that tip! Also, how might I search an OM to see if it has paint16.bin, or any other object not found in the hierarchy?:)
