Loaded my Thief 2 on my Windows 7 OS, (mainly to reminisce) and am now trying to see what the absolute lowest score I can get.
My last game, (finished a few moments ago) resulted in 13 hours, 11 minutes, 43 seconds. 16553 loot, 9 damage dealt, 0 damage taken.
I am going to try to go through getting all the loot with minimum damage next. Will post results.
*Forgot to put what mode I was playing. Expert mode.

Use FastStone and you can just take a screenshot of the stats screen -- or Fraps if you used ddfix IIRC.

Thanx! Will check out the programs. Tried to Alt+PrtScrn, but that wouldn't work.

From memory, the default binding is something like Alt-F10. Just PrtSc (without the Alt) might work. Or if you're using ddfix and you want to capture the upscaled menu screen, then use Fraps.

Thanx! Where does the Alt+F10 dump the pcx files?

It is indeed Alt+F10:
Code:
bind F10+alt screen_dump
The PCX files are dumped to the main game directory where the executable resides. You'll need something like IrfanView to open it.

Thanx again!

Ok. Went through the game again. Ended up with 29,711 loot at the end of the game. Dealt 9 damage, took one damage. The one damage I took was in the poisonous swamp in the Trail of Blood mission.
My time was not so good, but that was because I had trouble finding a guard with a purse in the mission Casing the Joint. I waited and waited in the North Hall where he was supposed to frequent and he never showed up. Finally, I left the building and went back in via the secret entrance and made my way back to the hall. Voila! there he was.
Anyway, my time was 30 hours 11 minutes and 26 seconds.
Got Fraps, but it does not record the score for some reason, only the playing parts of the missions.

Fraps only records menu screens with ddfix. There's another video capture program that can get the menu screens without ddfix, FastStone maybe? Or you could take a screenshot and cut it into the video.

Tried FastStone. No go.
Will see about taking screenshot.
Thanx!
