Thief II - The Metal Age, Fixed Version 1.0e
March 19, 2013

Hello All! AntiMatter_16 here, I'm proud to present to you bugfixed versions of the Thief2 Original Missions, as well as other bugfixed media. I've spent a LOT of time over the past year going through the original unstripped missions for Thief2 and fixing a great deal of bugs. I refrained from doing any sort of enhancement to the missions to keep them as close to the originals as possible, though some content that was present but not working (e.g. the conversations in Masks) has been restored. With any luck, you won't even notice the changes, you'll just be more fully immersed in the gameplay.

As far as changes, there are truly too many to recount, but some of the major areas of work were fixing room brushes, texture alignment, incorrect terrain brushes, object physics boxes, automap bugs, broken conversations, broken fog, and unreachable loot.

These missions were fixed using dromed 1.18, but are fully compatible with Newdark. However a bug in 1.18 causes fog to leak into adjacent areas, and that the fog areas in miss13.mis was adjusted to prevent "leakage". This means that if miss13.mis was rebuilt in newdark, the fog areas will have to be adjusted. There's at least 1 area in miss14.mis that need to be adjusted if rebuilt in newdark as well. Fog in miss13.mis and miss14.mis displays correctly in newdark, if the missions aren't rebuilt in dromed.

This package also includes a bugfixed Gamesys, with updated and fixed sound schema. It should serve as a good base for any FM authors. 

Thanks to...
Stan The Thief, who managed the gamesys and also provided fixed models and motions he'd collected over the years.
Voodoo47 was gracious enough to make some fixed models.

Savegames are not backwards compatible with the unmodified OMs. However, you should be able to load a save and restart the mission in order to play without any issues.

Please report any bugs.
