enabling map editor

Post by Mark77 »

Attempting to enable the map editor (ctrl+alt+m) in-game, I get a system error stating that libatk-1.0-0.dll is missing from the computer. I see the tiles and can move things around, but don't actually get any of the ES menus. Any ideas on how to remedy? Thanks.

Can you reinstall both Exult and Exult Studio from the latest snapshots? And when it still doesn't work, please tell us what system you are on.

Thanks Dominus, uninstalled and then reinstalled both for the third time and it appears to be working now! Running under Windows 7. It may be that I didn't fully remove all components during one of the uninstalls.

That leads me to my second question...

I can see that you can add book shape files, but can you change the contents of them?

To add contents to books you need to delve into USECODE. You need to add the content there and point the book at the appropriate function... I think, never worked with books. But you can look at our sourcecode, in the contents subfolders the mods do have additional books.

So basically it would be the same process as creating new or modifying existing conversations with NPCs?

Yes, I might be mistaken, though
