Hi everyone,
I am making a Mission[i].dat editor!!!!! Very Happy

so far you can only edit files as text but I will add a GUI later.
Get a version from: http://lewin.namsys.com.au/kam
I am making it in Lazarus (an open source version of Delphi)
If you are interested here's how you can help:
- Help me translate it into other languages. So far I have had offers for: Dutch, Polish, German, Bosnian (Croatian)
- Test it, find bugs and make suggestions
- Encourage me. If you want this to go ahead, contact me and tell me you are interested. The more people interested, the more likely I am to keep developing it.
Contact me:

Hm, nice idea.
There are some mission.dat editors, but no REAL
mission editor, where u can place buildings and troops.
U can read ALL commands by looking in the map-section.
Evrytihing is explained there.

So, good luck Wink

I'm interested in a mission editor where I can place buildings and paths directly on a map. Smile

The information in merchators link is totally incorrect.

!ADD_GOAL 2 0 511 1200 <-- Message 511 will be sent after ''1200'' (these are not seconds)
!ADD_GOAL 3 1 0 1 <-- You have to destroy all important buildings* of player 1
!ADD_GOAL 3 1 0 2 <-- You have to destroy all important buildings* of player 2
!ADD_GOAL 4 1 0 1 <-- You have to kill all soldiers of player 1
!ADD_GOAL 4 1 0 2 <-- You have to kill all soldiers of player 2
!ADD_GOAL 4 1 0 3 <-- You have to kill all soldiers of player 3
!ADD_LOST_GOAL 3 0 0 0 <--You have lost when your important buildings* are destroyed.

*storehouse, barracks, school.

Good luck with your project.

Hey this is a quite nice tool you have here! I'm sure it will make Mission editing quite a lot easier! Thanks to this you don't really need to remember all of the commands and values. It could be nice if there were features that would help placing things like street from one building to another, though I don't know exactly how one could make it easier without making it completely graphical Very Happy

And is that send message button supposed to be a dummy? For me it does nothing.

nice, but will it be possible to place buildings on a map file. Like u open a .map and then u select a school and u can place it on the map and it gets the XY position wher u placed it...

Hi Guys,
I want to translate my program into other languages, and I was wondering if any of you could help. I would especially like German (as that's were the game is originally from), but anything else would be good too. If you can speak another language and English, please contact me and I will send you a file with all the text to translate. Then my program can be easily used by not only English people!
Thanks,
Lewin.

Nice work, respect Cool

I can speak german and bosnian (croatian) so I can try to translate it Smile

Did you notice that your mission editor was mentioned at the news on Knights and Merchants DE? You should be honored Very Happy

I can speak Finnish and Swedish, but I doubt a translation to those languanges would be needed.
By the way, the update on the site will take a bit longer as some things took a bit longer than expected. Stay tuned!
