Update: Yes it works now! I'm now using Dromed version 1.26 So I can now use the same version that Thief 2 is using and use it for Thief 1/Gold. No more using 2 different versions of Dromed. It's combined into one version for both games.

You still need separate setups for T1 and T2 editing, I think mainly because the resources for the games are different.

I have all the necessary files for Dromed to work, they are separately in their own Thief 1/Gold and Thief 2 root main folder directories respectively. Thanks for letting me know though.

Yes the resources are mostly different... starting with dark.gam. The two gamesys files reference objects, textures, sounds, etc. that are specific to each game. Some common objects are different though. The torch in T2 is 180° from the corresponding model in T1/G. Most of the metaproperties were added during the making of T1 but T2 has some that aren't in T1 or TG. Of course the models, AI, textures, books, strings, etc. are different as well. IIRC if you load a T1 mission in T2 you still get a swordsman wherever they are placed but the models are different. Many of the T1/G aren't in T2 but Dedx was one way to get them into T2.
One thing I noticed while playing the 20th Anniversary Contest missions for TG I could still do the run/jump and accelerate beyond normal running speeds, but it seemed rather limited compared to performing that run/jump in the old TG.
The AI motions selected are different as well. The archer's walking motion and the guards' reaction to being hit are different are two that come to mind.

How do you play or edit a Thief 1/Gold mission to put into Thief 2 for playing using Dedx and visa-versa?

I'm slowly learning Dromed and I'd love to use this, but the download link is broken (at least for me)- is there any other way I could get ahold of it?

Sorry, wish I could help. But, don't want to give you the wrong information.

Good luck creating a mission!
