I can't say I envy you - there are also single non-functional links scattered in the long post. Correcting by hand will be a less-than-funny experience, I guess.

- CamVator Cutscene by Silentsleep and Saturnine (stored in demo zip)
Description/keywords: To give an example of a smoothly scrolling cutscene-style view of a conversation or some sort of fly-by sequence.
Found at:
DarkFate.org: CamVatorDemo
thief_age.republika.p: CamVator Cutscene

Both these links seem to be dead. Thankfully the wayback machine has them archived:
CamVatorDemo.zip
CamVator.txt

Yes, I believe that happened fairly recently when an update to the forum software made embedded HTML unsupported for security reasons. I'll look into replacing them by hand with full URL's.

i dont know anything about the vbulletin setup here, but is it possible to add custom tags that create the anchors and the in-page links? like suggested here: https://www.vbulletin.org/forum/showthread.php?t=221348

Could you tell me where to find a guide "Convert World Rep to Model (Using New Dark’s Terrain Export Feature) by Jason Otto" please? All links are dead.

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:

(I didn't do it!!)

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

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.

Thank you for your contribution.
