Thief 1 total conversion?

I've recently been playing T2X: Shadows Of The Metal Age and was wondering if there was a total conversion for Thief 1 of the same high-quality?

If you're speaking primarily on the visual side, look here:

Thanks, but no... I mean a total conversion. New campaign, new models, new sounds, new everything. Just literally using Thief 1 as a host engine and core game components.

No, nothing like that was done for T1. That would be super cool if there was a long campaign for T1 like T2X, though. I'd play the heck out of that!

But of course, it would be a pointless exercise in masochism since the T2 version of Dark is an all-around superior engine.

Doesn't newdark mean they're now functionally the same?

At any rate, you *could* maybe have a campaign similar to T2X that runs alongside T1's timeline and takes stylistic cues from it, if that's what you are after.

More or less. Which means the only reason to do a "T1" conversion/campaign/whatever would be if you specifically wanted to use only T1 assets... which look pretty dire these days.

Pretty dire? I don't see much improvement in T2 over T1 regarding 'assets'. So far nothing has recreated that grimy, damp, cold feeling like T1 missions.

Be taffed with you!

There's a Dark Mod mission, Return to the City, which looks rather Thief 1. Probably because of A: No coloured lighting and B: Blue 'Builder' Temple bricks.

I'd say a lack of coloured lighting, plus maybe the faded colours of AIs was probably part of what made T1 look the way it did, regardless of mesh detail etc. (non-coloured lighting was a technical limitation, but it does create that 'cold' look).

at one time there was going to be a t1x made but it never happened,but the mission ideas i remember it would have been real good and on the darker side

i just hope one day thief 3,can be made with thief 2 graphics so we can add that to the fan mission base=i did see someone attempt a thief 3 city hub map,but not sure what the progress is on that

and in my dreams i with for a real continuation of a thief 4
