I unzipped all of the 1.22 files into my work folder. My cam.cfg includes these lines:
[INDENT]; general configs
include_user_cfg user.cfg
editor_include_dromed_cfg dromed.cfg
[/INDENT]
The User.cfg has these params:
[INDENT]set_mode 6
light_bright
lit_obj_toggle
persistent_player_pos[/INDENT]
However, when I fire up Dromed.exe, none of the user.cfg stuff is recognized. Instead, the monolog shows other settings being loaded. I did a search for those settings to see if there was another CFG the thing was loading, but apparently it's being done via a library.

Those are all Dromed commands, so they won't work in a config file. You can put them in a .cmd* file and use Dromed.cfg to run it:
edit_script_StartUp StartUp.cmd (this might already be in there, but I can't remember)
light_bright and lit_obj_toggle are now obsolete. You can use toggle_lighting instead. The new one also does meshes.
*Strictly speaking you don't have to use a .cmd extension, as long as the filename you ask for matches the one you've created, but it helps you remember what type of info is in the file.

This reminds me, I need to set up a cmd file to automatically run the command that tells DromEd to ignore the current filters when doing a build.
So damn annoying to have a full relight come out wrong because I had brush lights filtered out.

@ZB
I know your pain. Which is why filtering is disabled by default in the newest beta of the DromEd/ShockEd toolkit. =)

Yep, it's in there. Had to point to the directory: edit_script_StartUp
CMDS\StartUp.cmd.
Can you explain the mesh thing? And BTW, who has a custom
startup.cmd they'd like to share?

Mine is currently this:
set_mode 6
toggle_lighting
set_ignore_filters
persistent_player_pos
toggle_book_autoreload
script_load gen.osm
script_load convict.osm
script_load NVScript.osm
any additional helpful commands/ideas are welcome;)

DromEd Basic Toolkit startup.cmd (as of beta3) contains the following:
Code:
; Display Solid World + selected brush in 3d Viewer
set_mode 6
; Light Terrain
light_bright
; Light Objects
lit_obj_toggle
; Player begins at editor camera position when entering game mode
persistent_player_pos
; AI unware of player
;ai_aware_of_player
; Draw in-game AI path stuff
;ai_draw
; Ignore filters by default when portalizing (Newdark)
set_ignore_filters 1
; Load template on startup?
;load_file levels\template.mis
; Autoreload book strings (Newdark)
toggle_book_autoreload
Light_bright and Lit_obj_toggle are used fro compatibility with olddark.

What does
this do?

The only filters I'm aware of pertain to brush/light/area/object/flow/room. So, disabling them...to what end?
