I've done the tutorial but can not see the "editor" button in the options screen? do I have to do something to unlock it?

No there is no editor button on my options screen. I've restarted the game etc - I have been playing the 1054_GrandCampaign as different factions but the Editor option never appears.

The editor button only shows up if you have debug mode enabled.

Open USER.TXT in Documents/My Games/EmpiresKingdoms and add the line

DEBUGMODE 1

Save, and run the game.

Note than in normal play you may see more error messages etc, but you are likely to need these if you are trying to edit map(s).

Cheers

Smashing thanks Pip - that's worked - did I miss that setting in the manual?

I have probably forgotten to tell that to the manual writer. I've been in DebugMode for so many years that it escaped me.
