ddfix changes

1.3.11

• Removed the custom resolution support for thief 2 (Please use the widescreen patch instead.)
• The GUI no longer offers unsupported resolutions
• The GUI now checks that the resolution in cam.cfg matches that given in ddfix.ini on startup
• The GUI won't automatically reset the resolution back to 800x600 if you run the GUI after using the widescreen patch
• Improved error messages in ddfix
• When using the non 4:3 resolutions with the widescreen patch, menu screens are adjusted to preserve their aspect ratio. (From Weak-ling)

1.3.10

• bmp's used as replacement textures are no longer vertically flipped
• When using .tga's for replacement textures, ddfix now respects the vertical/horizontal flip flags.
• Added an option to manually set the refresh rate
• ddfix will disable its texture loader if the res\ddfix directory is missing to improve performance

1.3.9b

• Fixed the custom resolution support that was broken in 1.3.9

1.3.9

• Added an option to change the path from which ddfix loads replacement textures
• Readded the anisotropic filtering option
• Fixed a possible crash when used with SS2 or Thief 1

1.3.8

• Added an option to disable the windows key while thief is running
• Object textures can now be replaced as well as world textures

1.3.7

• Fixed the GUI looking for replacement textures in /fam if trying to replace more than one texture
• Fixed issue with replacing textures for which thief does not generate its own mipmaps

1.3.6

• Added support to the GUI for modifing gif and bmp textures, instead of just pcx
• The GUI checks for the existence of bmps and dds's before warning about missing replacement textures
• Removed gamma option again (It didn't work...)
• Performance improvements when overriding multiple textures

1.3.5

• Added a new gamma compatibility option
• Added an ini option to disable features which only work on Thief 2
• Fixed an issue with replacement textures turning up in unexpected places
• Fixed an issue with replacement textures being lost on alt-tab

1.3.4

• Adds support for normally unsupported screen resolutions. (1280x960, etc.)

1.3.3

• New file type supported: dds (Must contain rgb data and be either 24 or 32 bit)
• ddfix now overrides thief's normal mipmap handling for replaced textures, fixing the aliasing problem

1.3.2

• GUI now creates new files with a .override extension instead of overwriting the original pcx
• New file types supported for replacement textures. You can now use 24 or 32 bit tga's or bmp's.
• Improved checking of .tga's so that ddfix doesn't try loading something it doesn't know how to
• Fixed the sharpened textures issue that got reintroduced in 1.3

1.3.1

• Fixed GUI not creating backups
• The GUI can now batch modify a whole pcx family
• Fixed an issue with tga's containing an Image ID field getting their colour channels flipped
• Textures are now correctly freed from system memory at the end of each level
• File paths for replacement textures can now contain characters other than a-z, 0-9 and '\'.

1.3.0

• Added support for ddfix to load and display full 32 bit textures in place of any pcx. (Thief 2 only)

1.2.7

• Possible fix for the crash on exit
• GUI supports thief 1

1.2.6

• Added a new compatibility setting for nvidia users trying to play system shock 2

1.2.5

• Tweaked colour key behaviour
• Tweaked screenshots to improve speed

1.2.4

• Fixed the stars fix so that it no longer causes objects in the distance to flicker
• Added an option to configure the colour key for the in game text overlay. (For SS2)
• Fixed screenshots sometimes failing, resulting in a 54 byte bmp

1.2.3

• Setting UseCompatibleZBuffer to 0 should no longer crash ATi cards

1.2.2

• Fixed crashes on ATi graphics cards
• Added two options to ddfix.ini to make the recent ATi and vista fixes optional

1.2.1

• Fixed black menu screens on vista
• GUI supports SS2

1.2.0

• Switched from DX 9 down to DX6. Many bugs are fixed as a result, (health potions, black screen after alt-tabbing, missing fog, pixelated textures and corrupted borders,) but some features have been lost. (Screenshots are an order of magnitude slower, and no longer give a choice of formats. There is no longer an option to use AA or AF.)

1.1.1

• On vista with UAC enabled, the GUI will run as an admin proces to avoid security errors when patching/restoring thief2.exe
• The GUI no longer lets you choose widescreen resolutions. It probably still displays a few options that thief 2 can't actually use though.
• Hitting scroll lock on a menu or while a movie is playing will toggle the vwait menu fix. Hitting it in game still toggles the text overlay.
• Performance improvements

1.1.0

• Removed the HighQualityTextures option, because they weren't
• Reduced the stuttering of movies slightly
• Fixed most problems related to using WindowFix=0

1.0.8

• Fixed a bug that could cause a crash as soon as a save was loaded
• The DisableOverlay option can be toggled in game with the scroll lock key

1.0.7

• Fixed vwait messing up menus
• Removed the limitfps option, since vwait does a much better job
• Removed the particle test fix, because it didn't
• Added an option to disable in game text (gives a 1.5 to 10x performance boost)

1.0.6

• Fixed an issue with alt-tabbing introduced in 1.0.4

1.0.5

• To allow the use of a GUI without worrying about vista's UAC getting in the way, ddfix.ini will now be loaded from '%AppData%\Thief2\' if it exists. If it does not, it will continue to be loaded from thief2.exe's local directory.

1.0.4

• Added an option to register lgvid.ax when thief is started up
• Added an option to disable anisotropic filtering
• Added a few other misc options
• Made a few possible performance tweaks

1.0.3

• Added a HighQualityTextures option to force 32 bit textures
• Added a printscreen option

1.0.2

• Fixed alt-tabbing in fullscreen mode.
• Fixed flickering black textures when limitfps or fullscreen mode were turned on
• Partially fixed texture borders (The black line around the sky is gone, large objects viewed side on are still buggy)
• Changed default settings: fullscreen mode is now on

1.0.1

• Fixed a typo in ddfix.ini
• Added a better limit fps option than vwait, which tended to screw up the menus somewhat.
