His page: I dont know much about this editor as those are the only shots and video I know of and he doesnt tell me much.It would be nice to have a tool that can rip the models out of Zero Hour nicely unless there is one out there besides this one.
I think the third picture and the video are mock-ups, since the new model doesnt fit with the rest. I also know there was some talk about a Duke2 Level editor long ago. For example there seem to be a few people here who are good at making level editors, but Im not one of them. Duke Nukem Editor Code Up AndI am good at extracting level data from many different games and making it available in the same way (so the level editor only has to edit one format and it will support lots of games) so once Ive got the basic code up and running itd be great if some UI folks were to step in and write some nice point-and-click interfaces for me (Of course if youre an impatient programmer, all the level formats and everything that Szevvy and I reverse engineered are documented on the ModdingWiki, so its all there if you want to code your own editor). I think it is pretty similar to Cosmo because there is some extra data hacked onto the end of the map to extend the tileset. Youd have to do a bit of hacking to view and edit maps using the entire tileset, but you may even be able to point a Cosmo editor at DukeII and get a bad-palette view already with a few incorrect tiles. IIRC Cosmo has one tileset for the whole game, but DukeII has per-level tilesets in the CZONE.MNI files, so youd need to point the editor at the right tileset for that level (listed right at the end of the level file.) See the ModdingWiki Duke II page for details.) Its an interesting idea, let me know if you try it. Put down a bunch of rapid fires, lots of missile or laser upgrades, lots of guys and have yourself a blast. I have been trying it, with an old, old editor called COSEDIT that uses an ASCII GUI and thus doesnt need to load tiles, backgrounds, etc. The result is some pretty mangled, but still useable Duke 2 levels. I dont know how more modern utilities would work, since they need so much more.
