I tested this patch with old saves (buggy saves of course), and I barely imagine return to OldDark; almost all saves are free from bugs in NewDark. For example, I had a game crash while touching some "SHAS" barrel in OldDark, it was fixed in NewDark. Not only SHAS was fixed, also game crash was fixed in this case.
Savegame's name with this barrel is "T1 sav ''Bum Bum beczkowate''.7z". Available on my Chomikuj channel. It was saved before NewDark 1.19 release.

Hi all,
a lot of you should know since 1.22 Thief 1 and 2 support subtitles. I and my friend done srt italian subtitles for movies, but we need for some styling reasons to use ssa or ass subtitles. It is possible to do this? It's needed a recompiled ffmpeg dll with enable-libass option?

Is this project still under development, or has development ceased ?

You're talking about NewDark itself? We have no way of knowing. In the past we've gone a year between releases and assumed it was probably done, and then another one would appear.

Let's hope for the sake of thousands of Thief fans, that the gifting will continue :)

I'm not really sure ? After DayZ came out I didn't play Thief for 3 years, but I remember it was something to do with the re-discovered source code and some guys released a Thief version with unlimited polygons and various other cool things. I just presumed that after all the years of people saying "if only we could get our hands on the source code, the amazing things we could do !", that after 3 years, whatever this project was called have given us a Thief that looks amazingly amazing. But, obviously not :-)

Uhm, no, that's exactly what this thread is. NewDark was first released in 2012 and there have been several updates to it, the last being v 1.22, and this very thread is its release announcement (check the first post for links). If you're still playing on 1.18 you should definitely check it out, it did greatly expand the limits of the original OldDark and there are numerous FMs out now which take advantage. There are also hires enhancement packs for the original missions so they can be played in the updated engine.

Some newer FMs don't only take advantage of New Dark, they require it to run.
But I think another point malau is missing is that New Dark was released anonymously. Whomever is working on it does not have a website and does not post updates. The releases come when they come (if at all).

Both these two missions load and appear to play but unfortunately you cannot get to the rope arrows. In Thief2X, I bought rope arrows and in Lost Far Edges they were supposed to be in inventory at start of the game. However, when you start the game, the rope arrows do not show up making some parts of Thief2X unplayable and rendering Lost in the Far Edges completely unplayable.
In checking out the user.bnd file in the Thief Directory, there was no number 8 which should be for rope arrows.
I inserted the line ( bind 8 "inv_select ropearrow") but unfortunately this did not work. I also tried (bind 8 "inv_select ropearr"). What else can I do to get rope arrow to be selected for play?
I don't have problems selecting 8 for rope arrows when playing other missions. I have previous used Garrettloader but switched to Darkloader when some problems occurred using Garrettloader.
My computer is HP Win 7 and I am using Darkloader. Please someone help, this old Lady would really like to play these two missions. I have been playing Thief 2 missions for well over 10 years and have never run into this kind of problem.
