Guide to Custom Resources for DromEd

There's a lot more on my website than just models, though. I have lots of tools under the Tools section, including my menus & keybindings for D1/D2/SS2, 3ds2bin, Monolog Viewer, various motion-related stuff and, of course, the NVScript script module.

Yes I know many of the websites have a lot more things available like tools and tutorials. But I only report the resources (like textures and objects) that are available on a website. Things that can used in a fanmission. The other things are just not what this thread is about so I do not note them. And besides, people will notice these things when visiting any of the websites.
But to avoid any more confusion I might add a message to point out there are more things to be found on several websites then only resources

This is about almost the same thing as the websites with only tools, tutorials etc I don't add.

And to prevent any misunderstandings, this thread is only meant to store all the websites that contain objects, textures, models, AI meshes etc, everything that can be used in Dromed.
Websites with tools, tips, tutorials, scripts, belong in the (http://www.ttlg.com/forums/showthread.php?t=87962) Dromed FAQ!

Also, I don't take model requests anymore, and the 'request a model' link is no longer on the 3D Models page.

Ok I'll remove this information under your website in the next update.

Custom scripts are resources though, in which case this important page is missing:

I understand what you mean NV, but with resources in this thread I mean something different :)

NVScript is not visible in game the way textures and objects are. Only their effects can be seen if I'm right.
Also, they are required to achieve something you want. Custom textures, objects etc are not really necessary, and most of the times they're only implemented to make a mission look better and replace bad-looking originals.

There is a rather vague difference between them, but to me scripts belong in the DromEd FAQ for these reasons.

And because scripts are already mentioned in two other pinned threads in the Editor's Guild Forum, Information about Scripts and DromEd FAQ, I don't find it necessary to report them here as well.

I changed the thread's title from DromEd Resources Websites into Guide to Custom Resources for dromEd.

When I started this thread there were only links to thief websites with custom resources to be found. But later it was extended with links to forum threads and posts with custom resources, as well as websites with textures and images not made for Thief.
That's why the old title was no longer suitable. The new one should also give a clearer image of what this thread is about.

A couple of texture websites:

Texture Library ((http://textures.forrest.cz))
WARNING: The (http://textures.forrest.cz/info.html) info page says the library contains a lot of commercial textures with copyright. The website owner cannot say which ones have and which ones don't, so it's best to refrain from using any of these textures in a fanmission.

Undule's textures:
(http://www.planetunreal.com/undulation/textures_n.htm)

A lot of the textures seen in Calendra's Legacy were from this site.
Links are on the right. Download the bitmap archives, which will need a bit of work to get them thief-compatible (mostly applying palettes I think)

Schwaa2 on 28/10/2006 at 21:09

Well, looks like the old Low Poly link works again, but that site won't be updated anymore.
I couldn't log on for quite some time.

LPG has been updated at (http://thiefmissions.com/lpg)

And if you wouldn't mind Phantom, Add Nameless Voice as co-creator. He did all alot of scripting for the menus.
