A simple dialogue editor

Dangit! It worked! Thank you!

It must've been because I didn't type in the .txt with yours. Maybe you're not supposed to type the .txt at the end, even though it says so. Weird. Thanks anyway, though.

For everyone who wants to try out mapedit.exe and mapfix.exe on Windows, I compiled them with MinGW for win32 on the x86 architecture. Have fun.

it doesnt work , it says that the map is not in the folder , or maybe wrong name ... but I tryed putting it in every folder of Lugaru , data , maps , any , doesnt work ... and the name isn't the cause neither ...

Well, if you're going to use the map editor for a campaign-

There's a bug in that prevents you from editing some dialogues with too many rabbits partaking. Here's an updated version. Sorry, rudel, could you compile that again?

@ablationer: the map is supposed to be in the same folder as MapEdit.

Here you go.

mapedit.exe and mapfix.exe, updated.

@Silb , I know , but it still doesn't work even if it's in the same folder , it keep saying that the map can't be found in the folder ...

oh and the updated one doesn't work neither ...

!
ablationer, try renaming "MapEdit.exe" to "Map.exe" and tell me if you still have that trouble.

If it works, you can also rename "MapFix.exe" to "MF.exe".

(If you're curious about why, to get the folder path I bet I just substracted 7 characters to the launch path of MapEdit, so "/folder/whatever/MapEdit" becomes "/folder/whatever/". That's dirty but I wrote the program fast.)

Wait, what is the function of "mapfix"?

thanks Silb , it would worked if only my computer wasn't retarded , I get an error , but that's a weird error that I get with a lot of programs actually , like Winamp sometimes and such , it says :

That's frustrating , because it has worked if it wasn't of that stupid thing ...

You'll need someone Windows-savvy from this point on.

@Renegade_Turner:

MapFix
Very simple to use. Useful in these two cases, and only them:
1) You edited a map in the Lugaru map editor, and every time you tried to load it afterwards, the game just froze. If you have a recent working backup (you should), MapFix can fix this.
2) You edited a map in the Lugaru map editor, and every time you tried to load it afterwards, the map was ok, but the dialogues weren't triggered anymore. If you have a recent backup, MapFix can also fix this.

Cool, thanks. The compiled Windows version doesn't work for me anyway, but I was curious.

Doesn't seem to work. Loading up a map that's at least TRIED to have some dialogue gives the classic "illegal operation, will be shut down" error. Original "start1" maps included.
Bollocks.

Sadly I can't debug on Windows.
