GOG Installation / Update

The GOG version of Thief Gold comes with v2 of this mod pre-installed, this is the easiest way to get started with Thief. Install the GOG version, then launch Gamepad Settings from GOG Galaxy, go to the About tab and Check For Updates to update to the latest version.

Future GOG updates could re-install earlier versions of the mod, so you may wish to copy your install out of the GOG Galaxy folder.

Manual Installation

See Install Guide for full information. Basic process is:

1. Make sure you have NewDark 1.27 or 1.28 - TFix Lite for Thief 1, T2Fix Lite for Thief 2.
2. Download gamepad.zip below and then run GamepadConfig.exe inside the .zip. Point it at your Thief or Thief 2 game folder, and it will install itself (for Steam Deck, run it from the steam-deck.zip file instead)
3. See Steam Deck, Proton and Wine below for additional steps for Steam Deck

You can also install using DMM. If you do this, you'll need to run MODS/gamepad/GamepadConfig.exe to finish the installation.

Movement has two speed modes (toggle with LS click):
  Slow mode: gentle stick = walk, full deflection = run
  Fast mode: small range for walk, rest is run
Full stick deflection auto-exits slow mode. Keeping the stick below 30% for 1 second auto-returns to slow mode.

Configuration

Use MODS/gamepad/GamepadConfig.exe to adjust a range of settings and customisations. Some configuration options are available in-game. Click on the Settings button in the in-game radial.

When adjusting look sensitivity, I find it best to keep the game's Mouse Sensitivity reasonably low and increase the mod's sensitivity - this will provide smoother motion at slow speeds (due to how passing mouse inputs to games works). For best results, enable high dpi mouse settings for the game per the Install Guide.
