I'd like to be able to go through the T2 missions in Dromed without having to pick locks or find keys. Is there any Dromed command in 118 to have all the locked objects in the mission unlocked all at once?

Maybe you could just make all the keys you need and put them in your inventory to start with :)

That would probably take just as long as picking the locks and finding the keys in game, Komag. I would have to open the missions in Dromed, find all the lock ID's and find the object linked to them, then link them to ~Contains in Garrett. Whew! No, I'm hoping for a GayleSaver type manna from heaven all encompassing Dromed one liner to solve all my problems and make my screenshot dreams come true. That last part sounded gross, but you get the point.

NO, that would be akin to a "cheat code" and haven't seen one yet.
The best so far I've seen is to open the mission in Dromed, look under Tools and Generate Report, and click on Dump everything possible, and leave all the other parameters set like they are especially with Headers, AllObj, and such, and generate the report - the default file is called default.rep.
Open it up in a text editor like Notepad, and each object in the game is listed with its ID's and coordinates ingame. You can just do a search for 'key' and find all the ID's for them, then go locate them in Dromed with find_obj # and then link them to Garrett like a good little thief would do.
Not exactly easy, but can be accomplished in just a few minutes with practice.

For key only locks, just make a key, give the it property Engine features::KeySrc put in the region ID 1 and set the Master bit to true, this will act as a skeleton key to all doors with a region ID of 1. You will have to have another key if there are other region ID's.

The region mask is a binary mask used with bit-wise logical AND to determine a region match. Use a mask that will cover all possible regions, like '11111111'.

In Dromed, type hilight_by_prop locked, which will highlight any object with the locked property on it, even if it is set to false.
then
hilight_rem_prop locked, which removes it.
Note the spelling and use of spaces.
There is also hilight_add_prop, but if you go into game mode after typing the first two commands, Dromed will not have the objects (doors) highlighted when you return to editor mode.
I'm not sure what would happen with regards to lockboxes though. If I remember correctly, they inherit the 'Locked: True' property, so they won't get highlighted.
If that is the case, then - in game mode - just press Shift + Q to fly, and then bring up the in game console and type physics and fly through the door.

Hey xar, R, thanks. Those are both great suggestions, and I'm going to try them, just to satisfy my curiousity. Looks like I still have to do it the long way though. I'm taking all the screens in 1280X1024 resolution, and I realized the other day that the highest choice to play in Dromed is only 1024X768. By the time Komag edits them and cuts the res in half for his site, 1024X768 will probably not be as good as the bigger ones. Oh well, some of the missions I could play again anyway. I must have played The Ring and The Keep and Father's Pride at least 15 times each already (although it's my son that keeps asking for Father's Pride-----which is what Majic designed it for, but I'm wandering aren't I):) I'll just have to play everyone's missions again. Oh, torture!!!!More Thief!!!!:laff:

You all are gonna kick yourself when you hear this.
Add this line to USER.CFG:

.... told ya' you'd kick yourself.
Be aware that it affects AI as well.
Now if there were just a way to activate fly-mode outside of Dromed.

I know this is an old thread ...but I was searching for this information and the "trick" you suggest...only WORKS WITH THIEF 2! It does NOT work with thief 1 or gold.
I do not think there is a cheat like that for thief 1 or gold.
