Hi
Suddenly a goal doesn't work. The reason I've found: The editor had changed the Object-ID. I tested
other objects: The startpoint was 2, now its 140, the sword was 8, now its 160 etc !
Then I thought, the problem can be avoided by using only names instead of ID-Numbers. But in the goal-list
there are only numbers accepted. Strings are quietly changed to 0.
Is there a workaround or anything, I should be aware of?

It's always been like this. Restart DromEd and note the new ID. This will work.

There's no workaround for goal targets, but this is a good reason to implement goals near the end so the numbers are unlikely to change.

Bad thing. It's really time for a real DromEd-version 2.x ;-)
Is there a complete Sourcecode available?
Is it fully free?
Maybe it would be an heavy job and at least maybe I would prefer to live with this glitches instead of work on the code. But maybe some parts are not too difficult. I really would like to have a look on the code. (I assume, its fully written in C ?)
P.S. I've found "thief_2_service_release.7z" on (
http://www.southquarter.com). But I am not sure, whether this code is uptodate and useful. I've read something about that.

Believe me - you're not the only one who thinks just that. :)

What you downloaded is the code of the original Dromed. New Dark has already improved it in a lot of ways. It would be waste of work to branch a new version of Dromed, as most of people would stick to the "official" New Dark version.
It's really a pity if not a curse, so to speak, that New Dark is being secretly kept by just one person, "hiding his identity in shadows". I know that's very much the way Garrett used to do his job ;) but it doesn't work well for the Keepers, I mean - the entire Thief community... If New Dark became an open-source project, we would already enjoy a Dromed, in which you can actually work like in any other 3d level editor.
If you have some experience in programming - drop me a line and we can see what can be done about this....

I wrote you an PN. But then the timeout hits me after sending it and I had to relog. Not sure, whether the Message arrived at you. If not, I send it again.

NewDark isn't open source. OK get over it. But there is an interface which you can exploit to do things via custom scripts. There is a world of things that can be accomplished that way if you are a skilled C++ programmer and clever enough.

This is what I have observed. Once I restart DromEd and reload my mission, whatever Object ID's my new objects get stays the same from then on.
