Thief Reloaded Contest Entry:The Deadly Triangle,T2 fm:2/5/2011

Response from Jax

This mission packages several resources from the original Thief, including several meshes in the "HiPoly" mesh subdirectory that are used when "character_detail 1" is set. However, while the default meshes should look as intended, the mission does not include the textures used by the meshes included in the "HiPoly" subdirectory, resulting in the AIs that use them missing their skins. Again, this should only occur if the user has the configuration variable "character_detail 1" set, which is not usually done in Thief 2.

Thus, the issue can be fixed by either removing the line containing "character_detail 1" from cam.cfg or, alternatively, by removing the "Mesh\HiPoly" directory within the FM installation.

Thank you. I removed the Mesh\HiPoly directory within the FM installation and was able to resume from a saved game (I did not have to restart) with all textures apparently OK. I also re-enabled EP.crf, again with no problem resuming from a saved game.

Note: This dml does not fix the missing textures issue mention above, players still need to manually fix this issue following (https://www.ttlg.com/forums/showthread.php?t=134787&p=2483837&viewfull=1#post2483837) these instructions

Fixes:-
- Stop mission finishing early (due to the fact that entering the home turf area was not reversible, so you would complete mission when you fulfilled your loot objective.)
- Fixes secrets objective (Goal 18 “(Optional) Find all Four Secret Areas ! only used to trigger when you enter secret 4)
- Misplaced objects (fine wine, buckets, scroll)
- Block Frob (wall vent)
