Why not? Everybody else already has. That's just the status text, though. Last time I looked you needed 300 posts to put up a custom avatar pic.

Brad,

If you are still reading this, I have a question. I have contacted by Infogrames MacSoft and Destineer regarding Editor timeframe. Destineer said talk to Infogrames, they are still handling that. Infogrames never responded. Who do we need to yelp at so that somebody will post the editor that you finished weeks ago? My gut feeling is Infogrames will do little to help on this issue; why build up some other company's goodwill?

I have this horrible fear that the editor will be stuck in merger limbo for months and months. Can't someone just post an "at-your-own-risk" or "beta" editor to tide us over?

Gracias!

Naah. I fearlessly predict that the editor will be available before PTW is released for the Mac. Maybe three days before, but before. :cry:

I_o_M, sociopathy is not an Apple endorsed version of "thinking different."

While we share your frustration at all the editor/PTW delays and unknowns, sharing such visions is a bit beyond the scope of this public forum. I would appreciate it if you'd tone the rhetoric and keep the comments more constructive.

Thank you.

Or, to put it more bluntly: stop acting your age.

I talked to Al @ MacSoft today about the status. They're putting the finishing touches on the documentation for the editor, and once that's done it'll be released. Apparently it was quite a chore to convert the PC WinHelp files to a Mac format. I don't want to repeat when Al said he thought it would be ready, because it was a very small time frame and if they miss it by a day or two, I wouldn't want some of the more...excitable... posters in this forum to go nuts with the emoticons, death threats and exclamation points of rage.

Did they give you any idea as to where they expect to put it? I've heard MacSoft's new web site is being designed right now but it's not there yet. I'm sure CivFanatics or Apolyton would be glad to host it until MacSoft is up.

They have a host or two already lined up - no worries there. I can mirror it on my website if all 50 excited Mac editor fans hit them at once.

We're small, but we're enthusiastic. Heck, with digital manipulation and cunning use of the camera, we can appear to be thousands strong...

heikeott · Feb 4, 2003

There may be more than you think. I am no modder, but I want to make my own maps. It is sooooooo frustrating when you are crusing along thinking you are going to win and then ... you hit replaceable parts... and ... you have ... NO .. . rubber... ANYWHERE!!! And no AI Civ has any to trade...

So, Mr. Oliver, although I like your game fine the way it is and don't plan to be tinkering with the rules or units, I will have maps with plenty of resources. Iron for everyone! A rubber for every Civ! A chicken in every pot! A car in every garage! An editor for every platform! A ... er... :blush:

Excuse me, I think I hear my boss calling me....

Sid · Feb 5, 2003

Heike, as an ex-soldier, I am mortified by your 'tag'. I have the greatest respect for chickens.

However, as a lover of this forum, I enjoy your humour and deep understanding of why we really play this addictive game.

heikeott · Feb 5, 2003

@Sid:

My mother was a native-born German, my dad a US soldier. Growing up, close to half of the families I knew were US soldier married to foreign-born wife. I rest my case! :beer:

I would have put "... and eat the chickens." but it just didn't seem right. Anyway, there is more than one kind of "chicken," and if you read it with a slightly different interpretation, soldiers annoy the heck out of that other kind of "chicken" ... :lol:

i did not think that this version of the editor actually allowed editing of the maps? i thought it only permitted editing of the rules, hit points, and such. One of the fine things about the final editor is that it most certainly *does* allow editing of the maps, as well as placement of starting locations--something that would address the ridiculous tendency of this game to place the egyptians next to the americans on a map! This game has been such a disappointment on so many levels that the lack of an editor almost pales in comparison to its already exisiting ills--or rather, it ironically sums them all up

/ i would very much like to see an updated SMAC!

Sorry, just thought it was funny.

Yes, this version does allow editing of maps, rules, and - whatever else there is. I don't believe you can specify start locations, though.

We'll have to wait for 1.29/PtW to be able to do that, methinks.

Beamup · Feb 5, 2003

Basically the pre-1.29 editor can edit maps or rules. But it takes the 1.29 editor to really make scenarios. Say, placing units, or cities, or starting locations or any number of other things.

A very rough description, of course, but it think it gives the idea.
