==============================================================
Sturmdrang Peak v 1.1 (English, French, German; Russian in .rar file)
==============================================================

Author : Nick Dablin (nicked)
Contact Info : nickdablin@googlemail.com
Homepage : N/A
Date of Release : May 15th 2013
Update Release : July 6th 2013
Modifications : From July, 2013, up to November, 2016 - with long breaks in between.
German translation: Zappenduster (zappen on TTLG.COM)
French translation : Azaran, with corrections by Apiai


MODIFICATIONS:

The french and german translations were made Darkloader-ready (and FMSel-ready). Sound files with sample frequencies above 44.1 kHz have been downsampled. Several sounds were compressed with Ogg Vorbis and IMA ADPCM to reduce the size of the campaign's zip file. Some text files have been corrected.

INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS:

If you know what you're doing, just install this mission using Darkloader or FMSel. Fully compatible with v1.18 as well as "New Dark" v1.19, v1.20, v1.21.

If you're not sure where to begin, refer to the full installation instructions found in the separate Install.doc file.

Notes :

* It is strongly recommended that you install the Thief 2 NewDark patch. The latest version at the time of writing was v1.21. This could be downloaded from South Quarter here:
While it is not required to play Sturmdrang Peak, there are numerous fixes and changes to the engine that will improve your playing experience, most notably a better framerate in some high-poly areas.
* It is also strongly recommended that you install the Object Enhancement Pack by Nameless Voice, as this will significantly improve the model quality of the game's original objects and add greater consistency to the mission. You can download it here:

* This is a six-mission campaign.
* You travelled light and begin without your standard
thieving equipment. You will have a chance to choose
more equipment near the beginning of the campaign.
* Your equipment will carry over between missions.
* It should be possible to play using any play style, but
you may be limited by the equipment you choose.
* Higher difficulties have extra bonus objectives and some
more complex puzzles, but you won't miss out on any of the
story on lower difficulties.
* There are transcripts of all the main conversations in Transcripts.zip. This is for hard-of-hearing players, and should be considered MAJOR spoilers.

Known Bugs :

* On old computers with software sound, the framerate may be adversely affected in the mission Forgotten Depths.
* You can sometimes frob and "pick up" some water particle effects. They will quickly disappear and won't affect your progress.
* A couple of places where fog disappears oddly. This is the Dark engine being cranky.

Story :

(This is a transcript of the Intro mission)

I had just returned from fencing the last of the loot
from the mansion job I pulled a couple of weeks ago,
when I noticed a letter on my doormat. It was from an
old flame of mine, Vivianne. I hadn't seen her in years,
since we parted on less than amicable terms.

Dear Garrett,

It has been many long years since our last encounter,
yet it does not seem strange to think of you now. I
hope that you have not forgotten me, or the nights we
spent together. I write to you now in great peril,
and I pray that you will put aside any ill feelings
and come to my aid.

Some months ago, I became engaged to Sir Alexander
Horrigan, the Commander of the City Navy. I thought
my dreams had come true when I came to stay at the
castle at Sturmdrang Island, but if I had known then
what I know now, I would have refused his advances.

Alexander has fallen into madness. A great obsession
has overwhelmed him, and the cause of it is the
discovery of the long-hidden treasure of Captain
William Sturmdrang, the ferocious pirate who
originally built the fortress here at Sturmdrang Peak.

It has stripped my fiancé of his sanity, driving him
to paranoia, obsession and dark moods, and I fear for
my life. I wish only to get away from here and I know
you have the skill and contacts to help me escape to
where he can never find me.

Please, if you ever cared for me at all, help me now.
I will wait for you at the inn near the docks, the
Blasted Trout. Find me in Room One.

Vivianne Swift

I wish I could say I was tempted only by the lure of pirate
treasure, but that would be a lie. I couldn't just leave
her to her fate. Maybe I'm not such a cold-hearted bastard
after all...
