This package includes 128 painting objects based on images downloaded from
Olga's Gallery (http://www.abcgallery.com/) and raw frame textures downloaded
from CG Textures (http://www.cgtextures.com/) and then edited and adapted to 
work within T2. The picture objects are based on the original T2 picture 
objects with new art and frame textures applied.

Olga's Terms of use are simple and to the point:
Images from Olga's Gallery are made available for limited non-commercial, 
educational, and personal use only, or for fair use as defined in the United 
States copyright laws. Users must, however, cite the source of the image as 
they would material from any printed work, and the citations should include 
the URL "www.abcgallery.com."

- Private or commercial use
- Use in 2D or 3D computer graphics, movies and printed media
- Incorporation in computer games, 3D models
- Selling 3D models bundled with modified versions of the textures, when the 
  texture is customized for the 3D model

It is NOT permitted to:
- Sell or distribute any of these textures in an unmodified form, or where the 
  derived product you are selling or distributing is a Texture or a collection 
  of Textures. In other words: Do not sell or distribute any of these textures 
  (modified or not) by itself or in a texture pack!
- Interfere with the security or otherwise abuse, disrupt, place excessive loads 
  on, or attempt to gain unauthorized access to the CGTextures website or any 
  system resources or networks connected to this website.

This package is provided with these restrictions intact.

..\NewArtSource		: A sub-directory of .3ds files and individual palette 
			  .gif files (higher quality color, but increases palette
                          use)

..\Obj            	: The sub-directory of the 128 picture .bin files
..\obj\Txt16      	: The sub-directory with the 128 picture .gif files repaletized 
		   	  to use only 10 palettes, together with 44 .gif frame textures

Unzip all the files to your Thief directory.



> Suggested  Usage <


1) Using Index.pdf select the desired art.
2) Review the 44 frame choices (FRAME00.GIF through FRAME43.GIF) and select the frame you
   want to use with this art.
2) HexEdit the .bin file associated with the desired painting to replace FRAMExx with the 
   frame you selected, and save it with a name that reflects the frame choice to the OBJ
   directory. Hex Editor Neo is free to download at http://www.hhdsoftware.com/
3) Using Index.pdf, select an existing T2 archetype compatible with the the desired art.
4) In DromEd create a painting using the compatible archetype chosen in step 1.
5) With the the new painting object active, select "Properties" from the DromEd menu 
6) Add > Shape > Model Name: the name of the .bin file you created in step 2.
7) Add > Shape > Scale: x,y,z scale factors to make the model the right size for your    needs.


NOTE: If you do not have palette restrictions or are not using many art works in your       mission, you may prefer to use the .gif files in the NewArtSource subdirectory. 
      They are higher quality, each having a unique palette. The .gif files in Txt16 
      have been run through Bright183 to repaletize them to use only 10 separate palettes        and then individually inspected to assure that the images did not suffer too much.
      (Three had to be manually repalettized.) This is, of course, a subjective judgement.       Feel free to repalitize them yourself if you wish. That's another reason I provided
      the higher quality files.
