World File Editing Tools - M2TW

Overview

No modding tools were supplied by CA to access the World files that make up battle map settlements and ambient buildings. Some user developed tools have been made however, predominantly by KnightErrant based on research findings by Argantonio in the World Modified thread.

System Requirements

These user developed tools used the Python free software system. Like other modding tools (texture to dds, and stringsbin convertors) use of these tools requires you to install Python modules on your computer as well as the tool itself.

Current Tools

Current tools are as follows:

.World File
