Preview: Scenario Editor

[Lukas]

The game comes with a powerful built-in scenario editor which allows players to create their own custom maps and scenarios. The same tool has been used to create all the official campaigns and scenarios and is directly available from the main menu.

Today we reveal a sneak peek of the editor mode: Maps are edited in the “boardgame style” visuals, while a simple click on the “play” button will render it in the fully animated 3D world and allow you to playtest your scenario.

Visually, it`s very appealing and it seems even more user friendly than the one in PzC. I really like the minimap which allows you to see the overall aspect of your work and best of all - I assume - click-jump to where you want to instead of just scrolling until you find it. Will this editor have the load pad image function?

yes, the map can be overlayed with a template image of variable transparency.

AFAIK saving files is not very obvious on iPad. But if there is a way to solve that then yes, the editor should be available.

Unless there is some kind of cloud save for modded files it wont really work on iPad as there is no way to distribute the files once you save them. The iPad has no files system you can browse.

Battle Academy has some way of adding user content as far as I know.
I do not mind creating on the PC and play on the iPad.
