I've just added Zaccheus' Automap tutorial to The Dromesday Book:
(https://dromed.whoopdedo.org/dromed/automapsz)

I've made a couple of tweaks but the instructions are basically the same.

edit:
Also added Salvage's tutorial, although the original has been online for the last 20 years.

I'm reading through nicked's Absolute Beginners Guide.. he and Komag have a knack for explaining things in simple enough terms yet detailed enough to be useful. Great job.

There's a link in it that I think is dead, however. The one to shalebridgecradle.

Another broken link:

Lots of broken and/or missing stuff.. Is anyone still monitoring these? Just curious.

Hi, I'm new here.
I am close to finishing my first FM. I need help with objectives. Thief 2.
For example: How can I make a purse an objective? instead of loot. So I can place it on the sheriff's desk, as a bribe.
If you are tempted to reply "RTFM", please just post a link to it instead.
Basso went to cityhall to pay 3 bribes, but misplaced them. (maybe his pocket was picked).
You volunteered to go find them.
Find; (1) The Health Department Tavern License monthly fee, (2) City Councilman Cheetum's monthly retainer for legal advice, (3) Monthly donation to the Bluecoat's Widows and Orphans' Fund.
THANKS
- Mike the Mute.

This should explain it:
(https://dromed.whoopdedo.org/dromed/bringobject)

If you're asking about the other part of the setup, i.e. turning a purse into an ordinary object etc, the best thing to do is make another object that already does what you want (e.g. a lot of things in the QuestItems section), and make it look like a purse (via the Shape > Model Name and Inventory > Object name* property)

* For that you may need to extract objnames.str from strings.crf and put it in your FM's own strings folder. The structure of the file is straigtforward.
