Java Editors
Release Notes
Requirements
A Java 1.3 Runtime Environment is required to run the editors. You can get the one from sun here.
Starting the Editors
To start the editor, change to the ascjava directory and run the MainWindow class. You can do this from the command line by typing
java MainWindow
provided that the JRE is in your path.
Windows users may just execute StartSelector.bat.
If you don't have the JRE in your path, you have to specify its location. Here's an example for Windows:
c:\programme\jre1.3\bin\java MainWindow
Using the Editors
This is beta software! Use at your own risk! Make Backup copies of your files first and use the DOS vehicle editor to check that the files written by the editor are correct!
The editors can not handle ASC container files (*.con). Use demount, which is included in the tools package, to decompress ASC container files.
Limitations
- The editors can not handle ASC container files
- The vehicle editor can not display or edit any pictures
- The vehicle editor can not change the fields which specify what a unit can build (objects, buildings, turrets, ... )
