Thief 2: Grey Scale Mod

Its done, the thief 2 grey scale mod. Now you'll be able to play thief 2 in glorious black and white. Why you ask? Why not. I've been playing in black and white, and the game is darker and some how more sinister, like an old movie.

You're right. It looks spooky, very film noir. I'm having flashbacks to Ranstall.

this is more complete than ranstall, i've converted every colored light in every mission to white, basically desaturated them, ranstall still had many yellowish light sources. all the objects are done, the briefings, the interface, the map retains yellow and blue hilights, i can't get rid of them, but the maps are converted themselves. also, some particles have color to them, likely because of the way dark combines multiple palette colors. its nearly uploaded to jason's site, this pack is calendra's legacy size.

Thanks Jason! I look forward to trying this out. My (http://thiefmissions.com/patches/T2GreyMod.zip) Greyscale Mod was a decent conversion for the filesize, but what you've done is the whole enchilada. :D

GumDrop did a FM that was in Black and White too. The Cistern, I believe was the name.

(http://www.thief-thecircle.com/download.asp?fid=552) Thief Noir; a short yet excellent mission in noir style. :cool:
Excellent work, Ottoj55! :thumb:

Cool. Will there be a '2D art only' pack for us Catalysts?

I wish ATI would release a smartshader SDK for D3D, then we could take grittyness to a whole new level.

Jason, what's the status? :D
