I'm sure this has been asked before, but I've done an exhaustive google search and I can't seem to find what I'm looking for.
Basically I want to use dromed 2 - dromed for thief 2 with newdark, tafferpatcher, etc, to make a thief gold-style mission with monsters, etc.
How do I get thief 1 creatures into thief 2?

DEDX is the way to go; it has most T1 assets you'd need - AI, textures, objects and sounds. My Thief missions have also built on DEDX and added more texture support; check out the archive of Disorientation for aluxgam.gam and a bunch of imported T1 textures.
Of course, with NewDark, you can just build a T1 mission without any serious difficulties.

Is DEDX compatible with all the improvements in newdark? It's like an older version of dromed, right? Are there drawbacks to it, compared to the current version of dromed?

I agree with Melan on the last sentence because why don't you just make it in Thief 1/Gold? It's much simpler and both Thief 1 and 2 are pretty much the same with Newdark installed and it would just be a waste of time to make a custom gamesys in Thief 2 when you have everything you need right there in Thief 1. I also don't get why not so many people like Thief 1 anymore! It makes me angry that most missions nowadays are only released for Thief 2 :mad:

Stop being a crazy person. Even before NewDark the Thief 2 Dark engine was better in nearly every way (the only advantage I can think of is lightmap luminance resolution). With NewDark, they
are the same engine. There is no sane reason to release a T1-only FM these days.

Quite a lot of insane ones, though.:cool:

That Dark Arrow link worked perfect, thanks Brethren. I was having some trouble getting T1 dromed to work, so I think I'll go ahead and make a pagan-monster-type level in thief 2. It'll be a surprise!

I don't think that everyone needs to make "Thief 1-only" FM's, it's just that I think that Thief 1 isn't really alive anymore and it's quite sad that only a few people actually make Thief 1 missions which would include myself. Also I'm not really that crazy I just get a little mad over things that aggravate me :laff:
