DromEd Basic Toolkit 1.13

Also, is there a way to get a menu item to perform two actions at once?

For example, when I click Play Scheme, I'd like to make it do a Halt All Scheme, then a Play Scheme. Can I just chain the two commands together in menus.cfg somehow?

Cheers.

This should work, or something like it

create a command file, call it schemaHP.cmd:

Code:

halt_schemas
play_schema @@

Then in your menus.cfg use the run command:

Code:

Halt Then Play Schema:Run schemaHP.cmd

Is there any other tool or way to easily and quickly browse schemas and hear them previewed?

Andrew Bednarz created a tool called ThiefEdit (AKA Thief Media Edit) that allows one to peruse .crf contents. You can grab it from my (http://www.bogadocious.com/thief.html) site.

Thanks Ricebug. Does it work for Thief 2? I only seem to be able to get it to work for Thief Gold.

And although it can see all the WAV files, I don't think it can preview Schema... have I missed something?

Cool looking tool, though. :)

Thanks LarryG! Works great!

I made a new file in Thief2/Cmds called SchemaHaltPlay.cmd containing:

Code:

halt_schemas
play_schema @@

And I added a line to my menus.cfg (in my own Schema specific menu heading I added):

Code:

menu_schema Halt then Play Schema...:run .\cmds\SchemaHaltPlay.cmd

Anyone know if a hot-key shortcut can be assigned to run a CMD? :)

Try it in your bindings. Assign a key combination to run .\cmds\SchemaHaltPlay.cmd and see what happens. Maybe put the command in quotes ...

Works for me. Did you point it to the RES folder inside T2?

Ahhh, the RES folder, cool cool, I was pointing to the DATA folder. No wonder it didn't work. :)

Cheers.

DATA? I've never heard of such a folder.

muzboz on 22/9/2013 at 03:03

There's a text file in the Data folder that says...

<code>
SS2Tool has moved your original game files into this folder ("Data").
It is not recommended to change them or to place any other files here.
</code>

I don't even know what SS2Tool is! I guess it means "System Shock 2 Tool", and must have been run automatically when I used TafferLoader, or something. :)
