Looking for a map editor

[Zomis]

I used to have a map editor that could edit UFOs, the landscape, and many things.

It was hexadecimal (values from 00 to FF), it was 4 of those values in each square (one area in the game, e.g. one Power Source, one Soldier etc.)

But I lost it somewhere, so I was wondering if anybody has it or knows where I can get it (I've checked the files on this webpage)

Thanks,

I don't know of any editor like that, but if you try Xcommand they might have an editor for maps...I think

[Zomis]

YES this is it!

if you don't understand the fileplanet public server system (which took me some time), or just want to download it from another source try:

https://zomis.xplorer.nu/download/ufomaped.zip (which leads to my homepage, I uploaded the file there if I should loose it again )

Is it just my computer or does this program result in a Runtime error?

[Ego Terrorist]

It appears to be quite a common error on new machines and I'm wondering if it has anything to do with machines that run Windoze 98+, because that program and another Xed for Apoc ran fine on my old 95 Machine, but just show up a Runtime error on my new machine which runs 98se.

Hmmm... Maybe the download didn't work, I got it and it works perfectly for me.

Maybe I got a ealier (better) version, I got mine a long time ago.

[Zomis]

perhaps you're right Ego Terr, but why doesn't it work in DOS mode either?

 

The Demi-Goldy One, did you get the map editor a long time ago?

If you did, can you please send it to me by mail?

my mail address is: zomis2k@hotmail.com

 

I actually think that there is something wrong with in this "new" version of the program...

[Zomis]

just got it and tested it, and it didn't work

so I was wondering, The Demi-Godly One, which operative system do you use? (Windows 98, 95, NT, ME, 2000...) and other technical information about your computer (processor, RAM memory, and all the stuff you know about)

Did you give running it with a slow down util, like Moslo for instance, a whirl?

 

Worth a shot. Oftentimes old programs have troubles with fast newer machine without a slow down util.

 

In fact, if my memory serves me correctly, I think oftentimes a runtime error is the result of a program running on to fast of system without some means of slow down.

 

Let me know if you need any help tracking down some slow down utils to experiment with. Oftentimes it's good to try a few different ones since some work better with some programs/games, and system configurations than others. I'm sure I have many links bookmarked to where you can download them from somewhere on my system.

 

Also, doesn't the UFO2000 patch have a map editor with it? You might want to check that util out also. Again, let me know if you want a link to that.

[Zomis]

whohooo! I love links :inlove: !!!

it's worth a try or two

I've never heard of either a slow-down util or the UFO2000 patch...
