One thing you could do is set the (global) hilight level, using "highlight_level <some number>" (23 seems to be the default)
Uh, does that actually do anything? The only discussions I can find on it say it doesn't.

It’s working for me. I created "fm.cfg" in my main DromEd directory, containing the line "highlight_level 10". And frob highlights are drastically fainter.

So it works for both DromEd and the game exe?

Hmm. That I don't know. I haven't even got close to trying my mission out of DromEd. I sure hope it works, though—the effect is just what I was wanting.
[edit]Well shit. I don't know.
I copied my "fm.cfg" to my playable Thief 2 folder and loaded an FM. No luck.
I copied the "fm.cfg" file to the FM's fmsel subfolder. No luck.
I copied the line to that folder's "dark.cfg". No luck.
So this only works in DromEd? I hope not. It's a great feature.

Well, you know, I wouldn't have suggested it if it wasn't working (at least for me). If I weren't sure about it working or not (at least in my own tests or if I hadn't tested it before posting), I would have mentioned that. I guess there could be differences between editions, though, so one is probably wise to let the beta testers check this specifically.

Is it working for you when playing your FM using the main executable, or just from DromEd?

He also says "Nothing seems to have any effect".

Mhm, seems like it. It's a shame, but, oh well, it was too good to be true, as they say. Foolishly enough I only tried in DromEd.

Meh, mere hearsay. ;)

Well, thanks anyway!

You're welcome! Sorry for getting your hopes up, though. At least
I got something out of this in that you taught me to always test a new effect at both places (especially before being sassy about it). :cool:
