About the guide

Read about the new User Interface used in this walkthrough. Look at new technologies used to implement the user interface described here.

Patches

Instructions

To use any patch, you need to download the patch itself (listed below) and the shared DLL (also listed below). Individual documentation is included in each package as HTML files.

The patch programs make changes to the Thief 2 mission files after making backups.

Apply the patch before you start the mission. If you restore a game saved in the middle of a mission, things inside that mission are already fixed and will not be affected by the patch.

Shared DLL April 2005

The shared DLL is used by every of my patches. In the past, each patch package includes a copy of the DLL. It is a big file, and you have to download the same file again with every patch.

Now I made it a separate download. Do it once, and use the file with any of the patches below. Read the “t2patchdll.htm” inside the zip file for instructions.

Download the shared DLL

Running Interference May 2004

The walkthrough is not yet available, but I already wrote a patch for it. In v1.18, one of the Lucky Coins disappeared. This patch will make it reappear. Read the “t201coins.htm” inside the package for instructions.

Eavesdropping May 2004

In v1.07, one of the Gold Hammers is not visible. The hammer will reappear in v1.18, but if you are playing v1.07, you need this patch to make it appear. Read the “t206hammer.htm” inside the package for instructions.

Download the patch

Kidnap April 2005

In both v1.07 and v1.18, a Gemstone is not visible, so you can never get all the loots. You need this patch to make it appear. Read the “t215gemstone.htm” inside the package for instructions. The documentation was updated on 13/9/2007 to correct a mistake in total loot value.

Sabotage at Soulforge April 2005

In the mission, you are not allowed to enter the Karras Chamber. This patch opens his door to let you in. Read the “t216chamber.htm” inside the package for instructions.
