RELEASE INFORMATION

Okay, finally. This nfo file has been sitting on my HD for almost 2 weeks
now, because I've never seen so many talented people take make a go at a
patch and fail. DaJackal claims this one wasn't hard... once you knew what
to do. Well god knows what he did, but this is a major update for a really
spectacular game... my personal choice for best game of 1998. Nothing is
uncrackable... you just need the right people.

NEW FEATURES

- EAX Support

Thief now supports Creative Labs' "Environmental Audio Extensions" (EAX).
Using reverb, EAX allows the Thief sound engine to play sounds that give
the player a greater sense of space. For example, large rooms will echo
more than narrow carpeted hallways. If your sound card supports EAX and
you have enabled sound hardware acceleration, Thief will automatically use
EAX. EAX can be disabled from the sound options panel.

- Joystick Support

Thief now allows you to use your joystick to play Thief. By default,
joystick is not enabled. To enable joystick support in Thief, open the
file "dark.cfg" in your Thief directory using a text editing program, such
as Notepad, and add a line with the text "joystick_enable".

- Cheats

Mission Skipping: If you're tired of a particular mission, pressing
"Control-Alt-Shift-End" will cause the mission to end and allow you to
move on to the next mission.

Money cheat: You can give yourself loot by adding the line "cash_bonus" to
your "dark.cfg." If set to an integer, its value is added to your loot
total for loadout purposes.

Starting Mission: You can start the game at a mission other than Lord
Bafford's Manor by putting the line "starting_mission X" in your
"dark.cfg," where X is the mission number to start at. When you select
"New Game," you will start at that mission.

BUG FIXES

In some rare cases, throwing lots of flash bombs could result in Thief
crashing. This has been fixed.

Thief will now run in hardware with the riva 128 card, provided you
download the very latest drivers from Nvidia.

Murus will now turn to speak to you, when he's talking

You can now bring the high priest to the take out window (the "take-out
window" being slang for the hammer-shaped window where you talk to the
hammers in the first place).

The door will not close behind you in the training mission when you go to
the basketball court.

The Cathedral doors in mission 7 now make lockpicking sounds

The servant will now drop his tray in mission 5, when starled.

Mission 5 phase 3 room brushing has been cleaned up. ("Miss 5 phase 3"
being the escape from the "Assassins" mission when pursued by guards).
