T2Fix mod for Thief II: The Metal Age

T2Fix is a complete, self-contained patcher and installation utility for Thief II: The Metal Age. Currently, all official patches and several fan-made patches and mods are incorporated, making installing and managing the game as simple as possible. It includes NewDark, the latest fan-developed update to the Dark Engine, providing substantially better support for modern operating systems and video hardware, along with fixed original missions, providing the most pleasant and smooth experience that Thief 2 has to offer.

Included Components:

-NewDark 1.27 (Required)
-Up-to-date scripts (Required)
-DromEd and the DromEd Basic Toolkit 1.14
-AM16's Thief2 Fixed
-Interactive Candles
-Carry Body Mod
-Thief Enhancement Pack
-Thief 2 Sound Effects Enhancement Pack
-T2skies
-T2water
-Thief 2 English Subtitles
-T2FMDML
-Thief 2 Multiplayer Beta
-Thief 2 Legacy Executables
-A variety of other fixes to resources, missions, and the game engine

All components except those marked are optional.

Before Installing:

-Ensure both the Visual C++ 2008 SP1 Redistributable and the DirectX End-User Runtimes are installed prior to running setup. Most systems should already have these installed, but in the case that they are not, they are available below.

--Visual C++ 2008 SP1 Redistributable

--DirectX End-User Runtimes (June 2010)

-Do not have Thief 2 located in a protected folder such as Program Files and do not set any compatibility modes on the main executable. Doing either will result in a variety of strange things happening, such as an inability to save or load the required resources. T2Fix will issue a warning if this is attempted, though will not ultimately prevent it.

-The officially supported game languages are English, German, and French. While other localizations will likely work without issue, they are not explicitly supported.

System Requirements:

-Windows 2000 or newer must be installed for T2Fix and NewDark to function.
-NewDark requires a Direct3D9-capable graphics card to fully utilize its capabilities. Most graphics chipsets made in the last decade should suffice, but if for some reason you are using a graphics card without these capabilities, running the game with the "-use_d3d_display" command line argument will start the game with the legacy renderer.
