Possibly the Best game in the world. Thief 2

WELCOME TO
Thief 2 Dromed V1.18 Stole My Life but that's OK, I like it !!

I haven't really had time to work on the site to get it looking nice but I generally have this open on my c drive as an aid to learning myself when I'm dromeding. I would say the majority of what I learned was from the TTLG board.

Before you start Dromed, use notepad to open up user.cfg file in the Thief(2) root directory and add these 2 lines:
edit_screen_size 800,600 Keep it one screen res below your windows settings
edit_screen_depth 16 You will be able to see the textures in Dromed clearly

script_load convict It is important to remember and add these 2 lines when you're ready to test your level, the script_load gen ( which the tutorial omits ) is what makes doors and he interesting things work ( Frobbing ).
script_load gen
hilight_check_snap 1
hilight_do_snap 1
hilight_clear

This will snap all your brushes to the gridlines. First one highlights all the dodgy brushes, line 2 sorts them and line 3 clears them. Remember to have the grid size set to your smallest size used. Be careful with this !
Hilight_By_Prop Deathstage
Hilight_Rem_Prop Deathstage
hilight_clear

If you have spent arrows that won't disappear, these 3 lines will take care of it.
First line hilights them, 2nd sorts them, 3rd clears them.
To save your gamesys, just use save_gamesys and pick a name for your gamesys and make sure it gets a .gam extension, use set_gamesys gameyoujustsaved to tell your mission which gamesys to use, and then save your mission (as a .mis file).

Doors Locked doors, keys n locks, secret doors using objects
