HOW Do You use The Editor?

Post by Dereck »

I upgraded to 01.02.52 and using the old editor my changes to the locations tab does NOT save. When I go to the new editor I have no clue how to get it to work as there is no information there!

The old editor screen:

The new editor screen:

Can someone PLEASE help?

Locations are part of generic data, and thus you can't just change a scenario, you have to change the generic data file (or you have to lock generic data for the scenario you are creating). Have you take a look at the WitW editor manual section on generic data? That manual is included in your /Manuals folder for the game. The WitE2 editor shares many similarities with the WitW editor.

Thank you. I think I need to calm down. Maybe go take photos tomorrow and try not to be attacked by a rabid chipmunk.
