Map + Mod File Editor & Syntax Scheme [Freeware ]

[Arralen]

I recommend Ulli Meybohms Freeware Editor "Proton" v3.2eng for Windows.

It's freeware, does not need to be installed - just unzip, start the .exe.

It can write files in UNIX format as the DOM mod files are, it's available in english and I have done a syntax scheme for it.

The scheme is still in the works, so it's quite simple up to now. If there's interest in it and I can figure out more of the syntax, I'll try to do a updated version for Dom3. Sadly documentation for the .sch files is non-existant.

I'll upload the latest version to my website in the next days, stay tuned.

hope this is helpful
