Hi SShroom,
ok, the new versions work great with both book 1 and book 2 maps.
For reference my install is:
15" MacBook Pro (late 2011) running OS/X 10.8.3 (Mountain Lion)
X11 libraries are
*not* installed by default on Mountain Lion so I'm using the recommended XQuartz as detailed here
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5293
One very minor quibble is that when selecting the pak graphics location inside the .app I initially selected the 'packedgraphics' or 'data' directory in the file selector instead of the enclosing directory as required. Its kinda intuitive to select the directory thats named rather then the enclosing dir, but hey ho, it works anyway.
Now I can start to play.
BTW, is there any docs around for the engine interactions with the maps? e.g. how to assign specific sounds to specific floor tile types etc.?
great and quick work on your part getting this turned around so fast. Thanks!

Thank you!
So, I downloaded and installed X11, but now I get this:
(I feel kinda silly being this technologically impaired, but hey think of it this way: what if someone else was as unable as I am? haha)

Hi Vezinea,
This can be caused, as mentioned by others, by a missing or bad install of X11. From a terminal window please check that your DISPLAY env var is set
$ echo $DISPLAY
this should give something like:
/tmp/launch-opJf7Q/org.macosforge.xquartz:0
You will get your errors with no DISPLAY or if the display is owned by another user and you are running it as root.
what output do you get in the terminal window when you launch the tool as follows:
$ open eschlon_b1_char.app
instead of running it from directly inside the .app as described earlier.
Don't post the error trace again if its similar.
To test that your X11 install is ok, try the following:
- make sure X11 is *not* running - quit it if you need to
- from a terminal window start a specific xterm
$ xterm
X11 should start first - you'll see the big X icon in the dock and an X11 menu on top
then an xterm window should appear.
If this works X11 is working and I can't help you any further
If we can't help you here its most likely a bad version of X11. Did you install the correct version of X11 for your version of OS/X? there are big differences from 10.5 to 10.8. Go to 'About my Mac' under the apple icon on top menu to find out exactly which version of OS/X you are running. it should be 10.something.something.
regards,
Aga

In Book I, the resources are just sitting around the game directory as normal files. In Book II, they're hidden in a password-protected zip file, presumably to make it more difficult for people to rip off the content. The Book II map editor has the ability to read that file to display in-game graphics, but isn't set up to write into it, which would be necessary to edit global map files.

One more improvement - I wrote a simple app launcher that you can use to start all of the tools. That way, I can package everything as a single .app file which significantly reduces the size of the distribution (18 versus 70+ megs). Have a try:

Hi SS,
Funny, I was just on-line when I spotted your post. I'll give it a spin for you. It'll be a couple of days though for feedback, work schedule is pretty hectic these days as well as Assassins Creed. I miss the Eschalon world though.
Aga.

Probably everyone's already noticed on the Book III modding forum, but there's a new version of the editor out, version 1.0.0. This release mostly just adds Book III support, but there's a few more minor tweaks and bugfixes which impact Book II, so it's probably a good update to get anyway, if you're playing around with Book II files. Enjoy!

Probably anyone who cares has already seen this in the Book III thread, but we've released v1.0.1 of the editor today. Users on OSX who had trouble using the map editor because it couldn't find the datapak would be interested in this one. The other major bugfix is various improvements to the editor's handling of "Big Graphics." Enjoy!
