Thief ver 1.33 NO CD

[TippeX]

ok, here goes.. time for waterdust to learn how to use a hexeditor... this is an adaptation of the crack i made for a different version.. it should work if you do it right..

.50E840 - patch area 1 - file offset 10DC40 - patch with 33 C0 40 C3 90 90
.50EB96 - patch area 2 - file offset 10DF96 - patch with 01
.50E89A - patch area 3 - file offset 10DF9A - patch with 33 C0 40 C3 90

now, our next part.. we need to edit up some files...

the install.cfg file is the important one...

mine looks like this...

cd_path .\
install_path d:\Thief
language english
resname_base d:\Thief+.\
load_path d:\Thief+.\
script_module_path d:\Thief+.\
movie_path d:\Thief\movies+.\movies
?

so try and make yours look similar (d:\thief is where i installed the same, so you will probably have to change this - note the '?' character at the end is actually a 1A character, im not sure if this is important or not..

that *SHOULD* do the trick - you will also need to launch it with oneprocessorlaunch (or similar) because the game
doesn't like systems with > 1 processor...

so, try it out and let us know

oh yeh, and copy all the files from the cd/dvd to the install folder too like cowsheep said..
