---------------------------------------------------------

These days there are many websites and forum threads/posts available where resources for Dromed can be downloaded.
However, the (new) dromeders among us may not know where to find them, or worse, don't even know that these exist.

When playing a fanmission I sometimes think: “Why didn't the author used a different texture? It would have suited a lot better with the environment!”
Of course I understand that it's also a matter of taste, and that the author has it's own ideas what to use in his mission. But does the author know that there are some beautiful textures available on THIS website, and some others can be found in THAT thread on the forums?

Lots of new textures, objects, ai skins and other resources are available that I've never seen in a FM, and it's possible they will never be used just because people don't know where to find them.
This is a waste of time for the people who created them, as well as the ones who made the website to store them. Both deserve more recognition.

I know that members often use their signature to post the link to their websites, but if you ask me that's not enough.
DromEders should have no problem finding every available website and thread for there resources. It gives them more choice about what to use, and their fanmission can become more varied and maybe even more enjoyable and realistic when using the best thing at the right place.

If I'm not mistaken there is no thread available on the Editor's Guild Forum with a list of all the sources so here it is. Some of them may be well-known.

If you're going to use any custom resources in your fm, please contact the author and let him know about it. They like to hear when someone is going to use their creations.
Also, don't forget to credit the maker, as well as the website you got it from, in the readme of your fanmission.

'tis a very good idea. I'm sick of having to visit other sites to get links to other sites that i'm looking for. I'll be updating mine in the future and i'll be getting rid of that silly Java menu that only works with IE! :p Thanks for including it. :D

Yes Sluggs. I can't look at your site at all!

This site does not not have Thief format textures - you'll need to convert them to families yourself - but the number and quality of the textures is unsurpassed.

(http://www.abcgallery.com/) Olga's Gallery
A vast art gallery where you can find paintings by many famous artists throughout real-life history.
I would assume that anything painted by someone who died 400 years ago is out of copyright, and can be freely used in a Fan Mission.

Some useful information about vertex lighting, which the Dark Engine uses to light its objects.
Although this tutorial is written primarily for the Unreal Engine, most of the information applies to Thief too.
