The original Thief 2 Gas Arrow had a bug that caused the shaft to be drawn *before* the crystal.
Things near to the player should be drawn after things far from the player.

This problem doesn't occur on a Water Arrow, so I reskinned one and changed the model name to that of the Gas Arrow.

To use this arrow for your Fan Mission, create an obj folder in your Thief 2 folder if you don't already have one, and put the file 'arrowgas.bin' in there. No more work is needed. This will now overwrite the original.



To use this arrow in all missions regardless of whether or not they include this fix:

****USE AT YOUR OWN RISK - AND MAKE BACKUPS WHERE RELEVANT****

Extract arrowgas.bin to Thief2\RES\
Find 'OBJ.CRF'

There are actually two obj.crf files - ONLY USE THE ONE IN THE RES FOLDER.

Before you continue, make sure Windows does not hide known file extensions - go to the Tools menu, then Folder Options. Select the View tab and find the 'Hide extentions for known file types' option and make sure it's UNchecked.

Rename the file to change the CRF to ZIP, then drag the .bin file over the zip.
A dialogue box should appear. Make sure that the Action is 'Add (and replace) files'.
Click on the 'Add' button.

Change the zip extention back to crf.

Don't forget you'll still need the bin file in the obj folder if you want other people to see this in your FM.
