Any way to read/edit exported design files with .dwd extension outside of the game?

Post by USSAmerica »

Hi all,

Does anyone know of a way to read and/or edit the exported .dwd files from the Designer? I'd like to look mine over while I'm away from my computer that has the game installed.

Thanks!
Mike

Yes, the .dwd are the files exported from the Designer. I just can't figure out what, if any tool can view or edit them without having the game installed. I hope someone else has been able to do it and can share. [:D]
