Umm, I'm either completely brain dead or this is nowhere on the forum. I can't find DEDX anywhere. I tried a link I found in an old post but the page is dead. I can't find it in Google search either. Is DEDX gone now? I don't understand. Does New Dark and TafferPatcher cover the stuff DEDX had? I just want to build a freaking mission...For some reason, even after installing New Dark and TafferPatcher and that resolution fix for dromed, my dromed is v1.18. I had everything set up but my computer fried (for the third time in my life!) so I had to reinstall everything about a week ago. I'm so confused. If I was brand new - what you would you tell me to do? What do I install to make Dromed it's best now? Please help. Also, why can't I get dromed to v1.21 when I installed NewDark 1.21?? :confused:

Nevermind on the New Dark version - I just recopied the files and it is now 1.21. I must have done it in wrong order or something. However, still wondering about the DEDX thing. I have two thief 2 folders - one for playing it and one for editing it, do I apply these patches to both folders?

You can download Dedx here:(
http://thiefmissions.com/tools/) http://thiefmissions.com/tools/
You will need to unpack the optional folders depending on whether you want the mesh,obj,fam, ect.
The Dromed ToolKit V.1.00 seems to be a favorite for its features. You can get it here:(

Some info on the Dromed Toolkit here: (

If you want just the dedx01.gam, then find basement.mis, and use this as your start for building. This is the dedx.mis Yes, you would apply the patch to both folders, one for for Thief2, and one for building(dromed.exe)
The engine must work in the dromed.exe folder for building, and then when you play through Thief2, it is the path that directs the engine to this folder. When you are building in the dromed folder, then going ingame to test what you build, then the engine will use the dromed folder. You need the patches for both folders, but only the new dromed in the dromed folder.(The directory you use for building)
If you have already started to build, and you want the dedx01.gam system, then you can multibrush your work into the basement.mis, otherwise, the only other way is to manually add everything from dedx01.gam to your .gam system.

Thanks, I think I understand what you mean. I need dromed deluxe in both folders and I need the tafferpatcher in both folders, but not NewDark. Unfortunately, I put NewDark in my Thief 2 folder (I got confused). What do I need to do? Reinstall? Because won't that mess up my editor and I will need to reinstall that, too? Also, the reason I want DEDX is because I have been working on this mission for years and it is solidly based in DEDX. Thanks for the link. I was going crazy trying to find a valid link to dedx. I have the toolkit. I have the gamesys for my mission. How about this - if I copy the gamesys and my old editor files (which include the full dedx) to my current editor files, and overwrite, will it work and is it advisable? If it's not advisable, is there anything I can do to keep my files. See, the dedx gamesys isn't what I actually used, it's a custom gamesys made from the dedx gamesys - so it not only includes dedx stuff but other custom things as well. What is the best thing to do?

Ok ok ok - I got it running and up and I hope it stays that way. Ok, I just need to transfer my files now, which will most likely take some time so I can figure out what is and isn't in my new install. I think I'm all set - boy my brain is really fogged lately

I propose that from now on, all threads in this forum be titled "HELP?". It would be so much more orderly.

Hey, it works for me :sly:

I don't think you should have changed the subject in case someone else has the same problem in the future and searches for answers. :)

Try to search for 'help". You'll get more than 500 threads.
