Just to clarify, does this mean that using custom resources (or T2 assets) is allowed, but we lose points for it?
The opening post makes it seem like we're forbidden from using custom (or T2) assets. But, if that's the case, then judging submissions based on adherence doesn't make much sense to me---presumably all submissions would receive 10/10 on this, if departures from the theme are forbidden. Skacky's subsequent post therefore leads me to conclude that custom assets are *strongly discouraged* but not forbidden.
Could you please provide some clarity on this? Thanks!
Not to speak for skacks as I'm sure he'll be along, but I'm virtually certain by adherence he didn't mean to imply you can use any custom assets (T2 or otherwise) other than those exceptions laid out in the OP as he's made that very clear in posts here and offline. I'm sure he will explain what he meant by it.

Whereabouts can one find an up to date download of Dromed 1?
Unless you're a masochist or an absolute purist, you should use the latest version of NewDark Dromed for T2 (which also works in T1) and take advantage of a much better editor than the OldDark T1 Dromed.

What do I need to do in order to make a TG mission using Dromed 2, then? From my very limited experience, I remember it defaulting to saving as files for use in T2.

I love this contest idea. Maybe using stock will just help focus on game play creativity.

This is a good question. I have try to start dromed 1 and I have some problems, first the screen is to small, when I edit the screen on user. Cfg I can't load cow or other stuff. Dromed is crashing. Can I use tafferpatcher also for dromed 1?

Use of external resources other than those specifically mentioned in the rules is forbidden. That means you can't use T2 assets except the moon and stars provided as well as voice lines if you wish. Adherence to the theme might not have been the best way to describe what I meant; respect of the rules would be more accurate.

Many Members are joining this contest. This will be a battle royal. :D I join the contest.

Good luck everyone! I will certainly have to pass this one, but I'll have something ready for the 20th Anniversary anyway, just not for the contest - it's a subject of my own interest. Or more like a reimagining of the TG mission, you guess which one :sly: .
