As we revealed yesterday, Eyolfur, the maker of the official editor, is also making an advanced editor, by some known as the XML converter. Why? Because that's what it does. Using the tool will convert the database to .xml-files which can be opened with Excel 2007. You may have to convert the files to .xls with an external converter if you want to use older versions of Excel or OpenOffice. You can change everything in the editor as you have been able to previously with PCM Kicker and Hannes Converter. All tables are open and fully editable. The design is pretty much equal to what we have seen previously. That said, it's not nearly as user friendly as the simple official editor. I have added some screenshots to the General PCM08 Screenshot album to give you an idea of what I mean.
Release date? Supposedly today at around 18:00 GMT +1. Although nothing is official, Eyolfur expects to have it ready for today. Also, he has promised to be around to answer questions if you have any. Feel free to ask in the Comments section of this news article or in the forum ;)
Update: It has, as promised, been released today. It's available from our downloads section or by clicking this link.
This is truly incredible - an advanced savegame editor already? The pain of PCM07 at launch is already ebbing away from my body - if the game is as stable as claimed I may forget the horrors of last time altogether
It's great when I read weaver game an article about a good game like this. It is very well written if you can know this. This is a good among us game that gives us a lot of emotions.
