FM in Dromed opens without textures

renaming the exe basically makes sure the editor will not try to open missions from another Thief install, if you have multiple installs on your computer. if you don't, just running the FM via a Dromed shortcut that has the -fm parameter (and clicking the FM in the FMsel window, and only then opening the map) is enough.

I'd probably also make sure the mission is fully extracted in the FMs folder, and no zip shenanigans are going on.

In this case, DromEd couldn't load the gamesys. I recommend to rename DromEd. Dromeduncad.exe will do it (this is not a joke).

I tried this just now, but it didn't work. It says it can't find gamesys and ask Browse? So I find it for Dromed but it still fails to load textures and custom obj

What is -fm parameter

Make sure your cam_mod.ini has this line uncommented:

; always start the FM Selector (if one is present)
fm

Otherwise, Dromed is just looking in the base game folders.

or just create a windows shortcut to your Dromed.exe, and pop it into the target line.

Code:

C:\Games\T2\Dromed.exe -fm
