Has anybody encoutnered a problem when shift-clicking a brush in v1.19 dromed? Whenever I try this the brush starts floating up towards the top of whatever window I click it in. :(
I once had a similar problem in 1.18. After some frustration I find out that commenting out "vbrush_snap" in the config files fixed the problem. I guess I accidentally moved the mouse far enough for DromEd to think that I wanted to move the multibrush and so it snapped it to grid, which made it jump a bit.
Maybe this could solve your problem too!?

By "froze" what do you mean? Does it crash to desktop or just lock-up your system or can you go to another application window? If the latter, is it still "frozen" when you window back? What does monolog say? What about DromEd.log? Are there any other diagnostic files generated and saved to your directory?

Before you installed Dromed 1.19, had you extracted the original Dromed from the zip file?
After trying out the patch I wanted it in a clean install so I wouldn't have old config files from older things like ddfix. Here's what I did:
Installed Thief 2 to a new folder (c:\games\Thief2_119)
Extracted all of the files from Dromed.zip (from one of the T2 CDs, allowing it to overwrite everything)
Installed the Thief 2 1.1
8 patch (remember this updates mis files and other resources too)
Installed Dromed v1.1
8 (which was unnecessary because the new patch overwrites it, but never mind)
That's the default installation - no mods or unofficial patches.
edit: Next step: Installed the Dromed Toolkit (menus.cfg and .cmd files)
Then I extracted the contents of the new package, in this order:
new_dark.zip
contrib.zip
editor.zip
Because you have zips within a zip, make sure you extracted the
contents of them, rather than the zip files themselves.
Ok, I reinstalled T2 and went through these tips-T2 works fine and dromed will function now, but I can't Alt-E out of a level in dromed?!
Edit: bind e+alt edit_mode in user.bnd to fix that problem with dromed toolkit worked! :D

Glad you got it working. It's funny you should mention user.bnd. For me, shift-p (unfly) wasn't working, then I found that p was assigned to 'Reset Zoom'.

I did a search through various .cfg files but couldn't find the vbrush_snap command, so I wasn't able to change it. I've lso discovered that ctrl-clicking a brush causes it to immediately start shrinking with no other input. Getting super frustrated now because I was halfway through a map and finally making good progress. :(

I don't have that command either. Maybe someone who does can post the text.

You've still got something messed up. That doesn't happen for me. Maybe look at your user.bnd for conflicting keybinds?
R Soul on 28/9/2012 at 18:09
vbrush_snap is in User.cfg, so have a look in there.
I rarely use Ctrl-click to resize brushes. I prefer to click and drag over the D W oh H letters. If you still don't find above variable, maybe you could change the way to resize things.
This is a bit of a long shot, but it could be that your computer hasn't registered that you've released the mouse button. If possible, try using a different mouse.
