I know this has probably been visited so many times but I figured the way to get the best answer to ask the dromeders directly instead of searching through a butt-load of old tutorials, dromed versions, and ect.

So, I wanna learn how to make my own Thief missions; reasons being that I just can't seem to get my fix of those deliciously scary robots and I really wanna make a good missions that focuses on them. However, I don't know the first thing about dromed. I've never coded, never done anything of the sort. Btw, I'm sorry if this is wrong forum to put this thing - it was the only place I could think of x.x

My question is: Where can I find the most up to date dromed tool, the best tutorial that is current and all the necessary tips/tricks/fixes that can help make constructing this mission more smoothly. I don't want easy - just the necessary tools that make sense for me to begin somewhere ^^'

Thank you very much and I appreciate any help!

This one I wrote is a comprehensive beginner's guide and is pretty much up to date:

I love when women cook missions, there´s always that female touch that makes their missions original :D

nicked's guide is great, definitely check it out. But the original tutorial that most Dromeders cut their teeth on was Komag's, you should take a look at that too.

(Of course, nicked's will be more up to date and current, as Komag's was created years ago).

When I was learning to make a mission, I assembled a collection of tutorials and useful references from various authors into a single document, which I then printed and used while I was building things. Not all of it is up to date (no additions have been made since 2007, and a lot of limits have been lifted by NewDark), but you may find it useful. So, here is (https://mega.co.nz/#!lpRjXRLA!Blf0G7Fv-a6a-6QyvUUVCQGzvxccjmgxqET4GZbSNLE) The Book of Dromed (1.5 MB), with thanks to the original authors.
