I just downloaded the demo, but alas, there is no editor to be seen. Naturally, this makes me irritated- why the heck can't I start fiddling around with it immediately? Bah. -------------------- * Posts: 6936 | Registered: Tuesday, September 18 2001 07:00 |

The editor is a great huge thingamajig, made to be used to create whole scenarios. It's likely fairly large, and complicated, and DL'ing it would probably take a painful long time, and hosting such a thing to be downloaded would likely eat up lots of computer resources. In short, it'll probably be a full version only sorta thing. -------------------- Fly beyond the ocean, over the mountains, past the moon and across the face of the sun, never to come home again.

ftp://spidweb.com/mac/ It's here, and it's not even four megabytes. -------------------- * Posts: 6936 | Registered: Tuesday, September 18 2001 07:00 |

Not distributing the editor with the demo version would be a foolish thing to do anyway. Although I do remember reading somewhere that the editor would not be packaged with the game itself for various reasons.

quote:That was my first guess. My second was file size reduction for people who don't particularly want the editor. Some people may just want to play scenarios. With the editor attached it probably would have been at the most 4mb bigger for 18mb. Nasty for even a 56k modem. :( Posts: 117 | Registered: Friday, November 2 2001 08:00 |

Exactly. Players like me want to play the game, and custom scenarios, but don't have the ability (or time, or desire, or whatever that reason might be) to create scenarios. So it saves our DL time and Spiderweb's bandwidth if the two apps come separately ;) -------------------- Behind, the sea of time and space roars and follows swiftly Posts: 280 | Registered: Wednesday, October 3 2001 07:00 |
