widescreen resolutions and much more (see the notes, including the final
one).

- Subtitles are disabled by default! Use the Tool to activate them!

Use this tool to change your thief 1 graphics settings (Anti-Aliasing, Bloom FX...)

New Screen Overlay Blood FX:
The new blood FX is disabled by default. You can activate it with the "NewDark Graphics Settings Tool".

!!!You have to enable Vsync!!!
In "The Haunted Cathedral" mission those pedestals (you put stones on it to open the gates) don't
work if Vsynch is set to off! This is a strange NewDark problem. Also in
"Down in the Bonehoard" the falling rock trap isn't working if Vsync is
set to off! And i think there are more problems who exist!

So Vsync has to be ON -> for EVERYONE!



Water Mod Tool:

With the new "Water Mod Tool" you can choose between 5 different water types. Change your thief water when ever you want!

Water Mod Tool:


Some Notes:
Please do NEVER try to edit the "cam_ext.cfg" manually... don´t play with the files! The tool may
not work correctly after that! Use ALWAYS the "NewDark Graphics
Settings" tool!

DO NOT OVERRIDE THE "cam_ext.cfg" FILE WITH ANOTHER!

Don't use this tool for Thief 2! The game will crash!

There are also preview images for all configs (full color version)!
Open the "NewDark Graphics Settings" tool and click on the "Config
Preview" buttons on the left window corner below!

IF YOU USE OLD SAVESGAMES YOU HAVE TO RESTART YOUR MISSION! BETTER DON'T USE OLD SAVEGAMES!

Fog-FX:
=======
(Applies only to the following missions - Escape!, Strange Bedfellows, Into The Maw of Chaos!)
You can deactivate the "Fogging FX" if you don't like it.
To do that, start the game and select "options" -> "video".

You don't get any info about the loot you steal - there is only the sound...?
Take a look at the game options:
Options > Game > Auto-Equip
Set it to "ON" !

How To Enable Screenshots in Steam:

Go into your game installation folder and open up the file "cam_ext.cfg" with notepad and search for ;d3d_disp_no_rgb10_buf
Remove the semicolon (;) at the front, save and exit. Steam screenshots should work now! :)
