Does anyone have a complete archive of those DIVX files Nens posted? His site no longer works and the archive linked to by DJ Riff is actually incomplete. This would be very nice to have, thanks.

I appologize. Stage6, site that hosted my videos went offline some time ago, and I didn't have any back-up. :(
I am itching to replay the game (yet once again :D), so, guess I'll have the videos up again in some time.

That'd be great. They're a very useful resource, much better than a text-and-pictures walkthrough. (Yes, I'm one of those people that gets lost :( )

I'm on the Haunted Cathedral level at the moment, hopefully in a week I'll have them all. Still have to figure where to upload, with high chances I'll go with torrents.

I am playing The Thieves' Guild right now. Last played it several years ago. Very tough level. I saved whatever videos DJ Riff had saved, but this one wasn't available.
It'd be great if some sort of permanent space could be made for your videos, as they are great for walkthrough and ghosting (I've discovered quite a number of loot I've always overlooked, and ways of ghosting past guards etc.). Perhaps TTLG could host them?

That would be great, but not sure who to contact for that. For now on, I've made a torrent for walkthrough. Uploaded it now at the Pirate Bay.
I recommend uTorrent 1.7.7, I'm using it, and it's pretty much the best torrent client out there. Way less on resource using than Azureus for instance. Also, for people that might not be familiar with torrents. Just download this torrent I linked to, run your torrent client, go to open, and find the torrent you downloaded, then it will ask you where to download actual files. Now you can choose if you want all, or just some videos, just tick/untick those boxes.
Videos are again coded with xvid, 640x480 resolution, and biggest file (Mage Towers) is just a bit less than 400mb. All of them, 3.31 GB. Videos are darker a bit than actual game, but that is easily fixed with your media player.
As I'll be single seeder for some time, your download speed wont be spectacular, as my upload is capped at around 70 kb/s, plus I am seeding other things too. But I am seeding 24/7, so you will eventually get all the files you want.
Again, Klatremus' site was of enormous help, and I did try to atleast ghost missions and collect all loot (missed just one piece of loot I think, in second mission, one hammer). Sometimes I did not ghost something as it would require lots of time, and that would just make these videos even bigger.
Will look for alternative online storage, and think I'll try Thief 2 and T2X as well. Prolly with bigger resolution.

Excellent! Thank you so much. Will start on this when I get home.

How about widescreen? :D
Nens on 9/6/2008 at 14:11
Heh, gladly, but not sure how to set that up, or if I even can...have Radeon x1650 graphic card.
Nens on 9/6/2008 at 16:37
Thanks for that.
My monitor does not support widescreen (thought I did play Call of Duty ws on it though...weird), so it looks a big ugly when I'm actually playing, streched up and down. But actual video looks great, "movie" feel to it. :D
Will use 848x480 resolution, xvid 2 passes at 1500 kbps, with audio being compressed with lame 3.97 to cbr 128 kbps. So, videos will be bigger than for Thief Gold.
And it's a 'bout time I get myself some nice monitor. :)
Cheers.
