Installation instructions:
________________________

Uncompress the package straight into a functional Thief 2 folder. It will NOT work inside a subfolder.
It is strongly advised to use a separate copy of Thief 2 for editing than the one used for playing the game. There is a guide on how to set up multiple installs efficiently (using least disk space that a full install would require) here: (http://www.ttlg.com/forums/showthread.php?t=92193)


Troubleshooting:
________________________
Sometimes alt+e doesn't work to get back to the editor once you've installed the DromEd Toolkit. I'mm not sure why this happens to some people (it was also reported in my ShockEd Toolkit), but it's easy enough to fix.
Open the file User.bnd in your DromEd folder using a decent text editor* and add this line to it:


Always make sure to leave one extra blank line at the end of the file.
* Windows Notepad does not count as a decent text editor, as it may corrupt your binding file. (http://notepad-plus.sourceforge.net/) Notepad++ is recommended.

Nice package NV.

Sniff :( - it looks like our little Dromed is growing up, becoming a real editor.

:tsktsk:

I know it's not a huge file, but I mirrored the toolkit over on southquarter.
