I love the Thief 2 ambients and I really want some variation with the sound in my upcoming FM, so I was wondering how to implement Thief 2 Ambients into Thief Gold? I only know how to implement textures, so it would be a real great help if something could tell me how to get Thief 2 sounds into Thief Gold?:confused:

The easiest way I can describe would be to find the Schema you want in the Schema folder. If you don't have one in your T2 directory, then look in the installation cd, or you can find one at thiefmissions.com (updated version)
In the Schema find: Amb_M01.SCH thru Amb_M16.SCH The schemas will show you what the name of the .wav is for any schema. To identify it, in the command console in dromed: play_schema name (just as you see it written) As the example below shows-type in: play_schema m07bass then hit enter. If you typed it in correctly, then you should hear it play. This tells you that dromed found the path to the .wav, and was able to play it.
Amb_M07
//MAIN LOOP MASK
schema m07bass (This is the schema) The schema is: m07bass
archetype AMB_M07
mono_loop 0 0
volume -2500 //was-3000
L7_baseM (This is the .wav used for this schema) This is the .wav: L7_baseM.wav
You can extract the Thief 2/Res/Snd.crf into a folder and name it for reference.
Find the .wav associated with the schema as mentioned above.
Find the Thief Gold Schema on the installation cd, or already in your Thief Gold directory as as schema.zip
Extract it using winzip or such into a folder you name schema
Do the same as you did for the Thief 2/Schema, and find the ambient you don't want to use in the:Amb_M01.SCH thru Amb_18.SCH Play it in the console as described above to identify it.
Rename the .wav from Thief 2 to the name of the .wav in Thief Gold
Create a folder and name it Snd, Inside this folder create a folder and name it Sfx. Place the renamed.wav into this folder.
Go to the command console in dromed and type: play_schema name Type the schema name as you noted it in one of the Thief Gold Schemas mentioned above. If you hear your new sound, then you were successful in your .wav transfer.

@DarthsLair: Thanks, I'll try it out, so hopefully I'll be successful :D
