I have finally submitted 3 files to this site which might be of use to anyone wanting help using WrpEdit.

These files are:

DEM-WrpEdit Tutorial - A tutorial explaining how to get your previously prepared DEM map into WrpEdit via Wilbur.

WrpEdit Tutorial - A tutorial explaining how to use WrpEdit.

WrpEdit Manual - An unofficial WrpEdit manual which explains the Menu Items, Tabs and Buttons.
In short, practically everything you might want to know about the WrpEdit interface.

These files are in a zipped html format and cover only the present version of WrpEdit (0.93).

I hope they are helpful.

If any newer version is released in the future I might update these files.

There are links in the DEM-WrpEdit Tutorial for finding various programs, including Wilbur.

Btw, although I have submitted these files you may have to wait a bit till you can download them, they are pending at the moment.

Garcia · « **Reply #15 on:** 27 Jan 2003, 22:03:08 »

Gday..
Regarding the camera..goto objects and 'set camera' or Ctrl-C at any time and place it with a L-Click...
F9 preview mode..be warned any lowend PC (and high end) will freeze a little when there is lots of objects on the map...
MadAussie out..

k cheers i can see what ive done now.
ive got a prob, i got this wrp file from me m8 with all the files, and it dont let me save me changes to it, it only lets me save as, y is this?

?? it says something about the logs when i open it, is this because of that???

Planck · « **Reply #19 on:** 28 Jan 2003, 20:40:01 »

Possibly whilst loading WrpEdit is unable to locate objects which have previously been placed on this map.
So, it loads the map as read only.

If you make changes and want to save you then need to use Save As. Having said that, you can still use the same name to Save As.

The Log window, in the bottom right of the WrpEdit interface will list any objects it was unable to load.
