There have been at least a couple instances where I installed Thief v1.24 NewDark with the latest version of Tafferpatcher. I have to use Tafferpatcher because the old -lgntforce method stopped working on my system for some reason in Windows 7 64-bit Home Premium. I have since upgraded to Windows 10 on the same system.
Just recently, DromEd was bugging out. By this I mean I could press A to move left freely in the editor, but when I pressed D it would only move right once and then freeze. If I pressed Enter in between Ds, then I could move right in a very choppy way. Restarting DromEd only seemed to solve the problem for a short time, then it would go back to doing the same thing. In Game Mode, my mouse view lost total control of where I was looking and spun around and darted to the floor somewhere.
Then I decided to run an antivirus scan, first on my entire computer. A Trojan exploit was found and deleted, and things seemed to proceed smoothly. Recently, though, I used Deep Qantas' Conversation Tutorial and tried linking a switch to a convo between two AI in a new airbrush. I followed all the steps in order. Well, I found that when I created a switch and went into Game Mode, the switch would not operate. So I created more switches. They would not work either. I went back to an FM-in-progress separate from the convo tutorial level that I started before the Trojan deletion which contains a switch. The switch still worked.
I thought the problem might be DromEd, so I reran Tafferpatcher, only installing DromEd in one of my installs. Then I scanned that particular folder found the Trojan exploit again, deleted it, and went in to DromEd. The switches still would not work in the new convo world. I also scanned some v1.24 and v1.22 that did not have DromEd. No Trojan appeared when I scanned these folders.
v1.24 is on my laptop's hard drive, and I have a v1.21 install with DromEd on an external hard drive. I scanned v1.21 with DromEd, and also got the Trojan. When I try to run DromEd with v1.21, the screen resolution is very large and I can't see the top menu. Even when I change the resolution in USER.CFG, the interface remains the same large size.
So I only get the Trojan exploit if I install Thief 2 with DromEd in Tafferpatcher.

I'm not sure about the Trojan but did you load the gen script? If so maybe try dropping it and reloading the gen script.

I normally watch the monolog as it loads, and the gen script does load on its own. I will look at it further later when I'm able to.

I'm betting that you have the screen size overwritten by settings in cam.cfg.

Well there's your problem. You're supposed to scan for viruses, not antivirus. You deleted all your antivirus and now things aren't working right.
And, y'know, it might help if you bothered make note of

WHAT IT'S DELETING.No, you don't understand. I deleted a Trojan exploit, which was detected by the antivirus scan. The scan detects viruses, trojans, etc. How could I "delete all my antivirus"? And why do I need to make a note of it if all the scan tells me is "Trojan Exploit"?
If you read my post, you would see that things do work right for an FM I started before the scans. With the convo tutorial, I tried the test in a new mission in NewDark. Without the Trojan, things aren't working right because the switch is probably linked to the malware and might also trigger it. Either something is a Trojan or it isn't. Other games I've played have had viruses, and people say "it's okay", but how are you supposed to know if it's really okay. With a Thief 2 Tafferpatcher, the scans aren't picking up anything if DromEd is not included with the install.

I changed the settings in cam.cfg from "1600 900" to "800 600" and saw no difference with the DromEd interface.

Which settings did you change? Why not post your cam.cfg & your dromed.log too.

I changed the screen resolution from 1600x900 to 800x600 in USER.CFG and CAM.CFG. Here is CAM.CFG, followed by dromed.log - both for the Tafferpatcher v1.21 installation.

Where are you specifying edit_screen_size? Which config file are you using for that? Your log indicates that you have it set to 800 600. It also says that you have it at screen depth 16. Why don't you have it set to 32? It looks like your display adapter expects it to be 800 600 32.
