This is good, however, for deconstructionists like myself, entirely outside the context of playing the games. Now if someone could build apps like these for TDS (terribly behind with these sorts of goodies), we Encyclopædists could work faster and be more productive and forthcoming!



Thanks, gnartsch, from an entirely different point of view!



Thankfully, the mission doesn't need to be loaded in Darkloader/Garrettloader for me. A step I can skip to just look at the data, and with 2/3rds of the OMs done for us, I can thank you for doing that work, too (I'll do TDP)!

I would like to see comparison charts of different versions and patched/pre-patched, since I don't have all the versions that were released. For instance, I have a hope chest in the chapel in Casing the Joint, and some players don't.

Hi jtr7,

nice to hear it serves a purpose for you too.

However, what exactly do you do as an Encyclopædists ??
And how does my tool help you ?

Hmmm... if you want to see the diff on loot between version, you would need to have all versions anyway.
Then you might try these switches when calling my tool : '/showLootGGG /showTotalSummary /showItemDetails'
It will display some more info and a Summary at the end of the report.

Builder forgive me !!!

I was just starting to work on the next version, as I realized there is a REALLY BAD bug
in the version that was availlable for download so far:
if loot is located in some container (in a chest or on a person)
AND that loot is availlable for certain difficulties only,
then the difficulty-level gets ignored.
As a result the tool reports it on ALL difficulties.

:mad::p:erm:

The fixed version is (http://www.gnartsch.de/TTLL/TTLL.shtml) here (v0.3.0)
Since I did not expect to run into such an issue, I made this unplanned fix real quick, so be warned !
No, no, all should be OK ... I hope.

Note: the -i:inputfile parameter is now MANDATORY


What I am working on:
1. get rid off the need for you taffers to use DromED to generate the required input-report
2. support for Thief(3)-Deadly Shadows
... maybe a graphical UI later this year


By the way : anybody having problems using it, or somebody having a major breakthrough finding the last bit of loot in some mission or suggestions on the tool itself ?

Since version 0.3 TTLL accepts the output from Telliameds '(http://www.thiefmissions.com/telliamed/) LazyTaffer' tool as well.

So, in case you don't want to bother with DromED at all or DromED crashes when loading the mission or while generating the report, you can resort to this tool.

This is how to use it:
- feed the LazyTaffer with the path to the missionfile and redirect the output to a text file (must have extension .txt !)

- run TTLL

Both ttll and lootlist must be executed from the Windows command-prompt
Type the following into 'Start'\'Run' :
A good old commandline window will pop open.
In case you have an older version of Windows like Windows95, type instead.

Now assuming the following:
Thief is located in
TTLL is located in
lootlist is located in

Now type the following into the commandline window:


The first line lets you change to the directory where your ttll.bat is installed.

The second line tells the lootlist.exe to analyze a specific .mis file and redirects the output into a text-file (> Mission16.txt).

The final line tells ttll.bat to take the textfile and create the lootmap for it.


I hope this helps.
