Hey, i recently dloaded VonEins' 22 new objects but I have now idea how to install them so that I can use them in my mission. How do I get them into the Object Heirachy in DromEd?  Im using D2 by the way.

Just create a directory in your Thief directory entitled 'Obj' and put them in there. If there are also textures for these objects, create a new directory entitled 'Txt16' and put them in there, within 'Obj', so 'Txt16' should be a sub-directroy of 'Obj'.
Then if you wish to view these models, place an object in the world, ('Object' if you like) and enter its properties and go to [b]Shape>Model Name[b] and in the box that appears give the name of the .bin file (excluding the extension)...
...and there you have it.

Actually you could just add them to 'Obj.crf' if you wanted, .crf files are just .zip file with a changed extension.
i would just unzip them though.

Ok, so I unzip them into the `Obj' file but do i keep them in their own seperate files within `Obj' or can I shove all the .bin and .gif files into the one `Obj' file?

Create a directory under the directory where your Thief2.exe and the DromEd.exe is, named "obj" copy all the objects (the *.bin files) you want to use in this directory. Create a new directory under the obj-directory named "txt" copy all the needed pictures of the objects in this txt directory.
Look at the Demolevel how you can do it.
Look at the purefile there is a list of the pics using by every object, or open (dont edit) the *.bin file with notepad and you see the name of the needed pics.
And I zipped in the purefile all the Objects with the right folders.
I hope you have a little fun with the objects.
