Download DromEd, the Thief: The Dark Project level editor


Date of Release : Tuesday, October 12, 1999

The only file you need to get the editor up and running is DromEd.zip. After you have downloaded this file you need to unzip it in a pre-existing Thief install directory (for example C:\games\thief - or wherever you have installed Thief to). When you unzip dromed.zip, you will be asked if you want to overwrite some files, answer "Yes to all". This will insure that all of your config files are set up right. You will need a Thief CD to get all of the resources - the art, sound, mesh & mocap files. You will also find a new subdirectory in your Thief directory called "docs". A tutorial and some other DromEd reference files can be found there.

If you want to see some examples of pre-existing levels or you want to change one of the levels that shipped with Thief you can download the individual mission files below. Please note that these are special versions of the mission files. When we shipped Thief we "stripped" some information that only the editor uses out of the mission files in order to make them smaller and save space on the CD and your hard drive. So if you want to edit a mission file from Thief, you have to download them from here, you can not use the ones from the Thief CD. (Don't worry if your using a
German or French version of Thief, these mission files will still work ok).

It is also important to note that you should create a different directory from your Thief directory to unzip the "unstripped" mission file in. If you unzip them in your Thief directory then the Thief patch will not work correctly and Thief may even fail to run if you just try and play the game instead of using the editor. Anyway here are the "unstripped" mission files:
