Im saying this because the MapEdit has to be the worse Map editor i have ever come accross..

I would make one myself as its so bad but i do not kno how to...

If there is anyone who can seriously do one, i think i speak on behalf of alot of people here. Please, please could u make a much better one!

lol sorry but i just had to say this.. im getting frustrated with the program!

with the new objects imported into the other object files
the map editor seems to screw the maps up when they are saved too.
if anyone can get a hold of the newer version that wemade are using it would be great as ours only uses obj upto 7 and they are on 10 now ..

You also need the Mir.exe and m2server.exe to be able to read the files ;)

ill correct u :D. you cant get hold of the source codes. ;) you dont create emulators for programs such as mapeditors. like viola was pointing out. and editing it is very hard. live with it. its easy to use. and a very good map editor if i may say so.

how is it possible, to not be able to get hold of the source code? if the software is available, surely software to decrypt all information it holds must be out there

Your going to attempt a mapedit emulator, riiight.
Haha, good luck with that. :lol:

Lol, considering the sources for it are flying around a lot, you sure made yourself look a fool just then.

The WeMade map editor is ****. Pure and simple. Anyone who wants to make a better one, please do. PLEASE.

As for emulator, god, people make assumptions so much these days.

You'd be better off learning from the sources of that map editor, and making your own. As the ones that are floating around don't compile properly.

Ideally, you'd have toolbar yes/no's for different edit modes. Eg, lay tile yes/no.
