I tried to make an avi and run it some years ago. But it crashed every time. But I didnt know that you can do external commands with it!

So basicly, it just replaces map.dat with map.w or map.s .....

So I can make TNH and make
map.a
map.b
map.c
map.d

and you dont need to copy savegames and such to change maps...

Yeah... it isn't ready for use in a real D-Mod yet (hence the beta). See, the save game stores all of the editor_type, editor_frame, and editor_seq stuff... so lets say on Screen 425 in Map 1, you burn down a tree. Load up Map 2, and whatever sprite had the same number as the tree in Map 1, it will appear as a burnt tree.

There will be a way around this, though I'm not sure how good it will be. At the very least, you will be able to clear the editor variables, so this doesn't happen. But this has the side effect of everything 'resetting' when you change the map back.

Another way would be to store the editor variables in a seperate save game file of some sort (or perhaps appended to the current save game)... but I really need to look into it a bit more, before seeing if that is even possible.
