Hi, thanks for your interest in war2edit :-)

I haven't tried yet to build it on Windows, but I'll try very soon. I need to fix some issues and implement missing a couple of features, and I think I will release an omega version. I'll try to provide a standalone exe for windows.

If you want to build war2edit, you will first need to install:

• EFL. It seems the easiest way to do is by using win-builds, as explained there: https://phab.enlightenment.org/w/windows/
• cairo: https://www.cairographics.org/download/
• cygwin: https://www.cygwin.com/ so you can compile war2edit.

Then there are the pud/war2 libraries war2edit rely on: https://github.com/jeanguyomarch/war2tools (the README.md describes the build steps). And finally, war2edit, where the build steps are described in the README.md.

It is heavily command-line oriented though. Feel free to ask if you have trouble to build.

Thank you for pointing out war2.ru, I will try to post something on their forum when my omega version will be released, with ready-to-use binaries.

Which version of war 2 are you using for it?

[jeanguyomarch]

I'm testing on Warcraft II Beyond the Dark Portal v1.3.

Can you test in Battle net edition? one provided on War2.ru

[jeanguyomarch]

I just tested maps generated by war2edit in Blizzard's BNE and the war.ru's patched BNE. They work fine :-)
