My 3D Blades of Avernum Editor for Mac

(a 2004-2005 project which I have since lost track of, but others have carried on)

I have modified Spiderweb Software's Blades of Avernum Editor (under the terms of its license).

I have added a powerful feature to the standard scenario editor: Editing in 3D, the way Blades of Avernum displays it. There are also a number of other improvements; see the readme file in the download.

This code is from 2005 and I have no idea if it still works; from the look of this Spiderweb Software forum, other people have since made their own more updated versions that you should probably use instead. Use at your own risk.

A Small Rebellion: we wander around editing the hilly expanses. Grid and special event locations are visible.

Valley of Dying Things: we edit a goblin-infested cave, in a viewing mode that incorporates the game's lighting and line-of-sight.

The project was moved in 2005 to a SourceForge page, but in the intervening decade, Sourceforge became less trustworthy and the project became abandoned, so I'm now hosting copies of it here for posterity.

The Mac code is mine and Spiderweb Software's; the Windows code is someone else's port of my changes, ported to Spiderweb Software's Windows code. Sadly at this time I was unfamiliar with revision-control systems and Spiderweb had non-cross-platform codebases. These were developed on Mac OS X 10.3 and Windows XP and I haven't tested them since. (If you know who it was who did this 3D Editor windows port, let me know so I can credit them!)
