Where is the Editor?

JimW · Post by **JimW** » September 20th, 2006, 8:33 pm

Back when I was still using the old and clunky 1.0.8, I could find and work the game editor.

Back then, I didn't know enough to dare fool around with it. Possibly still don't know as much as I should.

However, now that I'm on the snazzy new up-to-date one, I can't find the editor.

Yes, I know next to nothing, but will someone please enlighten me?

It's in the same place it always was, and you're mistaken on 1.0.8. There was never such a release. The editor is in the same folder as the game.

Gee, thanks. "Right where it alwas was?" Now why didn't I think of that?

I suppose I ought to have mentioned first that I had tried 'locate' and 'which,' but all I could find was wesnoth-editor, but no executable file.

I have disocvered that what I needed was wesnoth_editor, not wesnoth-editor. I suppose I was expecting too much to expect someone answering a question from a relative Noob to say, make sure you look for wesnoth_editor, not wesnoth-editor, since the last just holds a lot f data that the editor uses.

It would have helped if you had mentioned up front that you were using linux. JW's answer: "it's in the same folder as the game" is spot-on for the Windows version of Wesnoth.

How were we supposed to know that you had even looked for it? When comebody posts I question like this with no details as to what they have done already there is no way of knowing what to say except the basics. And JW was right, it was in the game folder for the OS he uses (I'm pretty sure JW uses Windows) and he had no reason to think that it was any different on whatever your operating system is (again, you didn't say), so please if you want good help, post a good request.
