I've been away from the world of Thief for about 8 years now and am finally able to start playing all these wonderful missions again. Also I'm hoping I can get back into DromEd again, the last time I used it I was still learning.
So here's my question and hopefully it's a simple one. Is there anyway I can generate a report from DromEd (with the Dump Everything Possible option) from an external script or application? Or is the only way opening DromEd, loading the mission and selecting Tools/Generate Report?
Basically I'd like to automate the report if possible.

If you upgrade v1.18 to v1.21 a monolog will be visible 100 percent of the time so you can monitor what is progressing as far as technical data.
If you haven't used Taffer Patcher, it is highly recommended depending on your machine. Taffer Patcher will help you install everything you need.
You can get NewDark v1.21 here: (

I believe that the only way to run the report function (Tools>Generate Report) is from within DromEd after loading a mission. The internal command is do_report but I don't know what the parameters are for it. I've just seen it bring up the interactive menu for the specification of what you want. Theoretically, you could do a load_file command to load a .mis, .gam, or .cow and then have the do report command, and have a series of those in a command file ... but you would need to figure out the parameters for do_report first ... and one of them has to be for the report file name, you would need to change that for each, or it would overwrite the prior ...
Example, writereports.drm:
Code:
load_file xxxx.mis
do_report x y z ... reportxxxx.txt
load file yyyy.mis
do report x y z ... reportyyyy.txt
At least something like that
should be possible ... The command file you write could then be executed from the DromEd command line using the run command: run writereports.drm

Already done! NewDark is what pulled me back into Thief, now I have 8 years worth of missions to play!

Thanks! I'll mess with that when I get home!
