Thief tweaks

Is there a way to have more control over the tweaks you apply to a custom game? What I'm aiming at is very sensitive guards (hearing and sight) but having lower prices in stores on items and also allowing knocking out or killing non-hostiles (namely for testing things). Just more control over the basic game making some things more difficult and some things easier.

One thing in particular I would really like is sound traveling farther through more areas than just a single section. Another thing would be to allow guards in other areas be able to function without having to be there so they can hear things in the far off distance. I know this might tax the CPU a bit, but I just wanted to test it.

What you are asking isn’t possible. Each part of the game is a “sector” so guards who aren’t there won’t here it. If it’s within the sector you need to have the sound travel further which is beyond the scope of the engine. Even thief 1 and 2 managed to make sound travel far based on the floor tiles.

What about some of the other basic tweaks instead the more advanced things Just making guards with heightened awareness yet allowing lower prices in stores? Like mixing some Master level tweaks with Rogue level tweaks.

How’s about making items you steal worth more? Cost isn’t that great but it more due to most items being worthless to steal more then anything.

That's very true. I've often thought about that when I pick up a 2g silver cup.

Can you change item values in a configuration file? Like "item_value=1" or something else to make it twice or thrice the value?

One thing I thought was strange that can't be changed is "No Knockouts and No Kills". I like the challenge of a "No Kill" but to add "No Knockouts" as well should be a separate challenge!
