Thief: The Dark Project (PC-Game) Walkthrough M00: Training

[ZlutyPanter]

Looks good for a 1998 game...

[TheMonocleMan]

@ZlutyPanter you haven't seen some fan made maps for Thief 2 ;) Many of them look even better than vanilla games, considering the engine is the same.

[OdinofWei]

I used to play this demo as a kid. Wasnt allowed to get the full game so I dragged out the demo as much as I could. I just recently got Deadly Shadows and it's nothing like the first one. I still miss the gameplay.

[MegaLPgamer]

fuck this im playin chaos theory :P

[XenoSpyro]

I have never yet seen gameplay for this. So I'm esctatic seeing the sword get swung like the monkey wrench both normal swing and Smasher!

[Avankiri]

Haha. *shoots training partner, shoots again, again, again, again, again, etc.*

"Attack with your sword, not your bow."

*stops and switches*

That was epic win.

[StickGuy0000000001]

is the sound delayed or the guy just too fast?

[HotaruZoku]

@StickGuy0000000001 I'm going with "fast".

[Camilo21986]

i love this game.... its great.... and still without ending it... i played a demo like 10 years ago.. and just a year ago i had a full copy... but bc of my business studies i hadnt had the mod to play it.... anyway this is great...

[riden1234567]

garrit goin to play some hoops lol

[Djluv5]

I don't remember seeing the basket ball room....

[thepianoman132]

I laughed so many times during this tutorial.

"I heard that!"

[TearsOfWar1]

lol basket ball room? wtf

[HEKTOR1X]

Oh man, this brings me back. I just realized this was the assassins creed of the 1990's! Wow if only I knew where it was...

[E2theSamps]

@HEKTOR1X

Eidos sells the Thief trilogy in a pack, for a fair price. Unfortunately, the first two games still require you to download all sorts of antiquated drivers and run on only one processor. But it's all well worth the effort.

[Brummbrummquietsch]

@E2theSamps Well for me T1, T2 und SystemShock2 did run perfectly on a new Acer Rig from 2008 with Windows Vista. No need for old drivers, but of course the "only one CPU"-thing was essential. And yes - those games are worth the effort. Every effort! :)

[E2theSamps]

@Brummbrummquietsch

Just installed Thief Gold on a laptop with Vista and it runs well. Something about Vista, maybe? And I'll have get my hands on a copy of System Shock, of course!

[greyfox37]

Lol, I was about to say, run to the end of the hall and get the damn vase! :P

[greyfox37]

This is the best series of games ever made. Nothing has topped this in my book

[vgmaster9]

I remember first playing this game alot in the beginning of the 2000s and I never noticed the secret area!

[gsboss]

not your bow

lololol

[sorcerykid]

It's hard to believe this is what started it all for me years ago. And yet I've never played the training mission again :)

[TanJianWei92]

This game is great , but , just lol

How " hard " is those models are :D

Nothing breaks nor realistic dead :P

[rhockingberry42]

Thank you, Brummbrummquietsch, for uploading my videos. That must have been a lot of work for both sets. The video doesn't look too bad for 20KB/s. The audio is quite good.

[triggerdance]

what a game!!

[LuvFreddie7]

this is the best game ever.

this and thief deadly shadows

[theweddingsinger1970]

One of the greatest games of all time.

[lawl756]

i own at this game when i was 10 i loved this game now im all about cod 4 - cod4 2

[jmm1233]

the famous basket ball in the basket , just like deus ex and system shock 2 , :)

a trade mark of looking glass

[jesperjesper123]

Baskterball?

[supereos1]

I played this game in 1999. Simply a masterwork!

[gsafian]

AH, good old thief.

[Multrox]

Anytime I try to run this game is runs veeeerry slow or sometimes not at all.. how did you get it to run flawlessly?

[Brummbrummquietsch]

What PC do you use? A very, VERY old one?

[Multrox]

No it's actually pretty new. Only about 2 years old and can run games like Bioshock just fine.

[julian3366]

i think you have to go to settings or something and "run as" windows 98

something like that

[damienp1988]

i have the same kind of problem with metal gear solid 1 on my pc its a new pc but cant run the game because the game is so old

[patr3ck]

don't you just hate when that happens. i have the same prob.

[mentalboy9]

Have you tried running the game in Window XP compatibility mode?

[damienp1988]

no i dont think there was an option to do that

[windson7]

@Multrox if your PC isnt made of wooden components, the game will run

[Multrox]

@windson7 ROFL A year ago I had this problem.. I actually just beat Thief Gold a few months back. :D

[windson7]

@Multrox good job mate

[Reuben961]

@Multrox If ur PC is new u gotta search around for some drivers for ur graphix card that support older games. also ull find some shit to make ur computer support older versions of directx or whatever its called. i dont know much about this stuff but i had the same problem with other old games and searched around and found some stuff that worked :)

[aure232]

It appears i still remember it, it all came back when it did watch this vid...

OMG how much useless things our brain does hold!

[BerSerKer2k8]

theres a secret room behind the enemy at 2:40

[Croyles]

People said the same thing in the 1990's, oh look at that game thief, its just about graphics nowadays. The cycle repeats istelf. There are still very good games.

I remember really loving Thief though :)

[megamarsvin]

There are still good games nowadays but I don't remember anyone making that complaint about Thief, or any of the Looking Glass projects.

I will say this though, games have become more mainstream. Compare Bioshock to System Shock and, well frankly Bioshock is a lot more simplistic. That doesn't make it bad, I still loved it, but I do miss the days when games were made by geeks for geeks ^^

[Vektruscen]

I loved playing Thief when it was out, such a fantastic game.

[JCMac777]

I played the Thief games so many times before. Why do I still miss playing it? Why don't they make games like this anymore?

[Brummbrummquietsch]

Because the new games are only for the eye, meaning graphics like reality... while lacking gameplay, fun. Just compare UNREAL 1, HEXEN 1 and DOOM 2 with all the new crap... beats all! And the Thiefs... will always be legendary in my opinion. Best games ever.

[ScathakaByron]

Hell Yeah!

[Croyles]

that really isnt true, there are some true gems out there for the newest consoles and some very creative games coming out soon.

Thief was and still is so awesome though!

[HotaruZoku]

@Brummbrummquietsch No kidding. Crysis sums it up for me. A game that was made 5 years before hardware could handle it on max settings...with all the game play elements of a 15 year old no name side scroller for the Atari.

[Tralviss]

because people want things like crysis or gothic 3, much graphic and less story

[MrGeorgesabidbol]

@JCMac777 I just feel the same

[Arantre20]

@JCMac777 well... i guess metal gear solid is KINDA like this... then again... they did turn mgs into a shooter... never mind then

[NewWorldSoldier90]

@JCMac777

there will be Thief 4 in 1 or 2 years !

[liamfrantic]

i have windows vista basic and i a running on intel pentium inside i have downloaded this game and i am wondering if i am going to come across any problems anyone knows please help me as this is an awesome game thanks folks greatly appreciated

[Pingvince1]

I allready knew that, there is something you don't know

There is a zombie head in the basketball course, it is on a poll. Not a joke, try it.

How did you menage to run thief gold?

I've downloaded it but it wont work on windows xp

[mordankaz]

i got it working fine if you need help you can ask me

[Brummbrummquietsch]

It even ran on my WindoseVista - what error is shown on your XP?

[Pingvince1]

Nope, I have xp professional

[Dharcman]

For me, in order to install thief gold on xp, I had to Run "e:\setup.exe -lgntforce"

It doesn't necessarily have to be e:\, though. It only has to be the drive the cd is inserted in.

[MrOresko]

Do you realised, the story of the Thief trilogy based upon the Free-Masonic cult? The master builder of the hammerites is a free masonic god. The trickster is the Satan of the ancient christian mitology. The keepers behaviour is like the Illuminati.

[belmordok]

I did >:)

[mordankaz]

ya i know cool isint it

[PerseusV]

That's a theory indeed MrOresko. And as always they all have their own agendas. And in the middle of all these things, is Garrett. What I'd call, an anarchist who doesnt buy any crap from either one of the sects in this game. He doesnt obey to anyone, and is following his own path. ... but lets not get over exited. It may all be just a coincidence. Besides there's no absolute truth in these things. The Xtians named the pagans evil etc but the pagans preexisted and were not wearing masks.

[MrOresko]

In Warren Spector's (the designer of the game) other game, the Deus Ex, have some Illuminati theory, and secret society. In the game we meet with the illuminati leader, and read Adam Weisshaupt book. I think, the Thief trilogy secret societes based on the real agencys.

[Kaitou1988]

"But I found... other uses for those skills."

*kills flower pot* Muahaha

[icetroll00]

its just as good today as it was back then

[waruuum]

"It may be that he finds the sound of the arrow entering his body slightly suspicious."

lol

[wannabeastarrover]

thief4 was offically annonced in progress on 11 may this year

yipeeeeeeeeeee!

[8poseur8]

if it was 3 vs 1, it would be even funnier. 3 dancing apes !!

[spakattack]

That sparring was hilarious lol

[leebob20010]

lol

[Weltenvernichter]

Thief 1 + 2 are unbeatable in terms of atmosphere, even today!

[Brummbrummquietsch]

Thats as true as the fact you've got a stylish nickname. :)

[Weltenvernichter]

Thanks!

[wannabeastarrover]

spred the word thief 4 was offically anouncedon the 11th may ,

[seopeter22]

why did i never heard about this game?? i played HL, Duke Nukem, Serious Sam, Command & Conquer '95, Sim City...but not this. good grief.

[Brummbrummquietsch]

This is the saddest thing I ever heard. You defintively should get and play them!

[seopeter22]

im on it! :)

[gogusos]

Damn it was a long time ago since I played or even watched someone play this game! Great videos! Thief is a great stealth-game indeed!

[druconiss]

can somebody help me the game keeps freezing

[Brummbrummquietsch]

You got Dual-/Quadcore? You have to let the PC use only *one* processor or it will crash.

[Natsopaan1]

amazing graphics! :)

[creapsmantic]

there wasnt basket ball in mideval era XDD LOL

[Brummbrummquietsch]

Proof it! :P

[creapsmantic]

read the text boox take about 10 sec (WIKI for evah)

[34532525]

hey friend i see you know german too;)

[Brummbrummquietsch]

Ok, Du hast mich erwischt, ich gebe es zu. Aber nicht weitersagen, ja? ^^ :D

[JVir]

i so wish i could get this game to work again, but the CD is all fucked up How ever it is a real bliss of a game. I finished it long ago and trust me if you finish this game you deserve the title the stealth master its hard even on easy.

[Lucker1992]

hab dualcore aber wenn ich einen ausstellen will wird der zugriiff verweigert

[Lucker1992]

is eh egal der rechner verweigert mir neuerdibgs den einen prozessor auszuschalten

[Brummbrummquietsch]

Den einen? Hast mehrer Prozessoren? Du musst es ja einstellen, dass nur ein einziger Prozessor für das Game zuständig ist. Sprich wenn Du alle 4 (z.B.) Prozessoren ausschaltest, würde ja gar nichts mehr gehen...

[Lucker1992]

wie haste das auf vista gemacht kann nicht so gut

englisch^^

[Brummbrummquietsch]

Ach kein Problem, mein Englisch ist auch schlecht ^^ Wie meinst Du das mit "gemacht"? Installiert / zum Laufen gebracht?

[Machado117]

If you have a pentium 4 and the game freezes try disablind hyper threading in BIOS.

[ViralZ0ne]

I doubt this would work on Vista would it? I got T3:DS but I feel like playing the originals again. I remember playing them when my Dad was going to chuck them out, I was like 6 then lol Thief was the first video game I played believe it or not :D

[Brummbrummquietsch]

T1 and T2 both work on Vista perfectly; its just essential to tell Windows via Task Manager that the thief.exe is allowed to run with / on only one processor.

Can tell that for sure ;-)

[Madrigos]

Gotta take a Vista right away!

[TheGallantGentry]

Will someone PLEASE make Thief into a feature film??

Oh and don't let the Americans do it. They'll just muck it up!

PS - I'm American

[DigitalInsanity]

You´re right. Should be an European movie because of all the castles, middleage.....

But remember: Looking Glass was an American Company ;).

[panameadeplm]

How the hell do you want to make a movie about the thief series? There's not even any dialogue throughout most of the games

[Brummbrummquietsch]

Thats an good argument. I guess it would be some kind of new "silent movie".

[sorcerykid]

I think a movie should be made, just focus more on the backstory and less on the first-person thieving. There is a lot about the Keepers as well as the City and its various factions that could make for a great storyline with plenty of dialogue.

[Posterdude95]

i know eh?

[TheGallantGentry]

@panameadeplm Gee, I don't know. I guess they could make it like EVERY other film based on a game.

[Brummbrummquietsch]

Well thats an answer, says everything and nothing. Gonna send you a personal message how to solve this problem, takes about five minutes. So be patient.

[KalleAnkasPlanka]

Umm, I have the same problem with Thief 2... I can start playing level 1, and then it freezes, sometimes I can't even start the game...

[Brummbrummquietsch]

Ok, maybe you have the same problem as I did. It was the problem if your PC has more than 1 CPUs. Start the game, hit Alt+Tab, look in the Taskmanager for the thief.exe - process, hit right mouse click and apply one ONE cpu to the process and go back to the game. And voila, it should work (like SS2, T1). Hope this solves your problem.

[KalleAnkasPlanka]

Nope, still doesn't work.

I could set difficulty and press continue, then the game crashed...

[KalleAnkasPlanka]

And yeah, when the game crashed one of these pops up:

"this program has encountered a problem and needs to close"

[Machado117]

what cpu do you have?

[KalleAnkasPlanka]

I dunno, but the thing works fine with Thief 1... :S

[Brummbrummquietsch]

Well T1 & T2 & SystemShock2 crashed also on my PC, because T1/T2 cant manage dual-/quadcore processors. Do you have dual-/quadcorestuff CPU's? If yes than I can tell you whats the problem and how you can manage / solve it to play it.

[Brummbrummquietsch]

Already googled for that problem / searched some forums / installed the newest graphics driver and stuff?

Is it an older PC or does it already have dual-/quadcore processor?

[Brummbrummquietsch]

Why are you unable? Does your operating system freeze up or cant you just start it?

[RyunSharp]

What is a basketball court doing in a training course?

I doubt they invented basketball at that time.

I guess the creators did it for the lulz!

[Brummbrummquietsch]

Of course! I think they searched for a way to put all the jokes in it.

At least this proves some creativity :-)
