All this stuff about ZB is getting in the way of the thread.
Regarding the subject of this thread:
Looking at other FMs is good for ideas, but when you're just starting out, I think also trying to use its resources could lead to more confusion. File management will be a pain when (assuming) you want to clean up the folders.
It's best to start with an empty folder and focus on getting the hang of the basics.
What program are you using to manage FMs? Best to use (
https://www.ttlg.com/forums/showthread.php?t=149706) AngelLoader and it uses the new way of managing them, which makes it very easy to switch between FMs and even to have two or more open at once (e.g. your own FM, and another FM to look at for ideas)

Glad you mentioned AngelLoader, R Soul. That’s what I've been using to load fms up until now. Was under the impression that for some reason fmsel was more suited to DromEding, and am fine switching to that, but am looking forward to upcoming Angelloader dark mode feature.

Another idea is to load the original missions in the missions folder into dromed. That way you won't have to worry about moving resources around. At least this way you can see how missions are made in general.

Will definitely try that. Good tip!
