Thief: Deadly Shadows - Game Mod - Sneaky Upgrade v.1.1.10 - Download

Sneaky Upgrade is a mod for Thief: Deadly Shadows created by snobel. The patch contains various bugfixes and game improvements such as widescreen support. It also enables the use of the FMSel FM loader frontend with Thief 3, and provides some GUI tweaks. It works with the GOG and Steam versions of the game.

Original game bugs and issues that have been fixed or improved:

1. Multicore fix prevents the intro video from looping
2. The City sections are now played on your chosen difficulty instead of always being on Normal
3. Frame rate limiting fixes broken lockpicking, ladder climbing and wall flattening
4. Some speed-up of level loading, especially with vsync on
5. Fix for the desktop being visible during level loading on Vista and up
6. The game will no longer crash when binding an analogue controller through the keybinds screen
7. Fix for controller axes sometimes being set up reverted

Game improvements:

1. All resolutions reported by the system, plus an optional custom display mode, are available from the options screen. The aspect ratio is shown as well
2. In widescreen the horizontal view is extended, instead of cropping off the top and bottom
3. The field-of-view can be specified by the user. The setting will work with both the original game and fanmissions, with existing savegames and with missions which use scripted FOV changes. FOV adjustment includes the mechanical eye and bow zoom
4. The HUD and menus are shown correctly, regardless of resolution and aspect ratio. In 3-monitor modes, the HUD can be constricted to the center monitor
5. The main menu and loading screens are shown correctly, at 4:3 aspect. The proper movies, which are letterboxed, are allowed to crop to fit the monitor (up to 16:9)
6. XBox360-type gamepads are working, the triggers are mapped to buttons. Support for up to 16 gamepad buttons using modifiers

As an FM loader, the emphasis is on ease of use and reliability:

1. Easy to set up – besides this patch there is nothing to install or configure
2. The contents of your game installation folder are never changed. (GarrettLoader has a habit of messing up your installation)
3. Works even if the game is installed in Program Files
4. Automatically installs custom conversations. (Used in the FM All the World's a Stage)
5. Fixes for crash on save and crash on exit in certain FMs, and for the mechanical eye zoom not working in many FMs
6. The FMSel supplied with the installer is slightly improved over the NewDark version

Additionally some optional tweaks have been incorporated:

1. Mirror and/or scale down the main HUD
2. Minor HUD and GUI tweaks: Remove loading screen tips, mechanical eye overlay, main menu version text, "Nothing" texts, loot percentage, purple fog, 'bouncing arrows', junk item flashing and the lockpicking HUD
3. Alternative background modes for the readable/map and pause screens
4. Better mouse response and removed motion blur
5. More realistic physics
6. Scale the difficulty up or down. (Can be set to zero for a 'notarget' cheat)
7. Disable auto-raising of the blackjack and dagger
8. Reduce or remove headbobbing
9. No switch to third person in death
10. Classic speed. (Walk by default, run qualifier)
11. Human-readable savegame folder names

How to install:

1. It's recommended to disable the virus checker during installation, since executable files are going to be modified
2. Advanced users should consult the list of additional installation options in the readme
3. Steam users should read Additional notes below
4. Execute the installer
5. After installation, run the original game once and select your preferred resolution in the Options screen. (The patched game uses a private setting for the resolution)
6. The SneakyOptions.ini file is now available for editing
