'New Dark' Tutorials by The Watcher

These are tutorials that cover the features that appeared in the updated dark engine in the v1.19 patch.

Tutorials by The Watcher

These tutorials should work for both v1.18 Dromed and the new dark dromed.

Tutorials by others

The following tutorials were written by other people, and are hosted here as mirrors. Some of these tutorials are rather old, and some techniques they discuss may have been simplified by custom scripts.

Dromed Map tutorial for The GIMP


How to make maps for DromEd in The GIMP, originally by Savage, converted to pdf by qolelis. Note that the tutorial contains a link to a blank maps zip that was hosted on Salvage's old website, but that file no longer exists (not even in the Wayback Machine). I recommend that you look at Vigil's Thief II blank maps instead.
