YAME - Yet Another Map Editor

[zastar]

The whole map editor is a macro-using Excel file. It's a very clever idea I think we'll see more mod utilities using Excel pop up for other games after this.

But, this means, to run it, you need Microsoft Excel (from Microsoft Office) or an Excel macro-compatible program. I don't know if OpenOffice supports macros yet.

Nice Editor, best I've tried so far..Does somebody know if it's possible to put a background image(jpg,bmp..) into Excel which appears just behind the reticule and allows to work in the cells? So you can put any map as background and repaint it by square by square. This would be very helpful..

Edit: Found a way for that background image: Format>Sheet>Background, then mark all map relevant cells >Properties>FillingColour>None...
Now you can see the background image..

I was kind of put off at first with the text codes...but it is quite intuitive when you get down to it.

I was able to churn out a decent map in a matter of 20 minutes. Might take a while for longer maps, but a very nice job.

Very nice

But some questions :

- is it possible to make your editor compatible with the realism mod ? New ressources ...
- I don't find the possibility to place tribals villages

Thank for your job ... and your response
