Game Editor

[unmerged(46467)]

Hey!
I'm trying to find a thread that can help me learn how to use the game editor for DD gkcw. Can you help? Thanks!

I think the best answer is to not use the editor, it doesn't work very well. AFAIK you can do anything manually that you could do with the editor, what is it you are trying to do?

well it comes in handy when u have to edit games. Sometimes things happen that need to be edited and I would like to know how to do it.

Any thread about the in-game editor usually ends with the answer I gave you above. It is not that it doesn't work well, it will actually corrupt your game files causing the entire game to need to be un- and re-installed. Any changes to an ongoing game can be done by editing the save game file with any text editor like notepad. You can also edit/mod almost any other thing in the game with a similar tool. Again if you were to let us know what you wanted to edit people could walk you through the process.

Well to be exact, I would like to know how to edit the following:

Lost techs
Lost naval birgades
Replacing ministers
Gearing bonuses for units under construction

There are others, but these come to mind now.

also, editing dissent....sometimes that gets screwy too!

What exactly do you mean by "lost" techs and brigades?

In MP sometimes a bug prevents players from being able to continue a certain tech tree..etc. Also, if naval brigades are not deployed in MP games they will be lost the next time the save is loaded up. In my experience I have found a need to have MP saves edited so that people do not lose techs and naval brigades etc.. dissent gets screwy too!

I have made today a virus scan and the exe of the editor was indicated as being infected with a trojan. Doomsday and Armagedon had been installed over Gamersgate. It might not be an issue but someone may have a look into.

"C:\Programme\Paradox Interactive\Doomsday\editor.exe: Trojan.Downloader-26369 FOUND"
