I unzipped the contents into the T2 folder, like the instructions said. It overwrote several files.

If installing the DromEd Basic Toolkit for Thief2, you must also extract the contents ".\Tools\Thief2 Newdark DromEd" to the root directory (Assuming you're using Newdark). Please view the readme file for installation instructions.

By default, the Toolkit is setup for Thief1 (Non-Gold). That's why the Thief1 convict is present. The contents of ".\Tools\Thief2 Newdark DromEd" overwrite the Thief1 related files.

The instructions say to drag everything to the T2 folder, letting it overwrite the existing files. According to fib, the convict.osm may not be compatible.

That's not correct. As I already stated, one must ALSO extract the contents ".\Tools\Thief2 Newdark DromEd" to the root directory.

Behold; from the fabled readme no one ever reads:

[Installation]
Thief1/Thief Gold with Newdark
1. Install Thief1 or Thief Gold, and ensure it is patched to its latest version
(1.33 for Thief1, and 1.37 for Thief Gold)
2. Install Newdark, and follow the instructions provided in .\Doc\T1.7z to get it
working with Thief1.
3. Decompress this toolkit to your root Thief1 directory. Overwrite any files
when prompted.
4. For Thief Gold, also copy the contents of .\tools\Thief1 Gold Dromed\ to your
root Thief Directory

NOTE: Your Thief1 or Thief Gold install must be "optimized", by moving all *.crf
files from your root thief1 directory to a subfolder named "RES" then editing
your install.cfg file to change the "resname_base" to include .\RES
(e.g: resname_base .\RES+D:\Thief)

Thief2 with Newdark
1. Install Thief II The Metal Age and ensure it is patched to its latest version (1.18).
2. Install the Newdark patch
3. Decompress this toolkit to your root Thief2 directory. Overwrite any files when prompted.
4. Copy the contents of .\Tools\Thief2 Newdark Dromed\ to your root Thief2 directory.

Oh my Lord - my husband is ALWAYS telling me to "Read The Manual, and don't just plunge in!" With DromEd, I should remember to always be afraid - be VERY afraid ... :o I am the cause of all my own problems. How embarrassing.

Except the convict.osm. This one is for T1/TG. If your convict osm is about 1MB, it's the wrong one for Thief 2. The right convict.osm for T2 has only 125kb.
Sometimes files don't get overwritten for some reasons, so check it.
