Download Map Editor ?

Post by Oddie1969 » Fri Jul 30, 2010 10:32 am

Hi all. I have Lux DLX 2 on my iphone and absolutely love it. I would love to create some maps for it as there is a bit of a shortage. My question is, do I have to also buy the PC version to get the map editor even though I have already bought it for iphone or can I just download it somewhere ? I have looked but haven't been able to find it anywhere. I don't get time to play PC games which is why the iphone version is perfect for me. :smt023

Thanks
Oddie

Hey oddie, welcome to lux.

there is no real shortage of maps since there are hundreds of them (over 700 i believe but the number could be higher).

DLX 2 should have an option named plugins somewhere that allows you to download any of those maps.

If you can't find it someone who has it installed can probably guide you where to find that option.

If you still want to create your own maps then you need to download the Mac/PC version of Lux which comes with an editor since creating maps on the iphone is not an option.

Hi Enokrad. There isn't any plugin option I can see anywhere. I can download extra maps, that's not a problem. I counted 101 maps available at the moment. I have downloaded all the ones that I like the look of. However I'd like to make my own but I don't really want to pay for the game again when I'll never play the PC version. Thanks for your help. I guess I'll have to rely on others to make the maps for me. :D

well the main lux game comes with a 30 (i think) game trial.

you can still download the demo and use the editor.

create a map using it, and test it out playing locally.
Just don't let the game finish and the trial won't can't down to zero (not sure if it works that way but it's better than nothing)

Download the PC/Mac Lux Delux demo to get the fully functional Map Editor:
http://sillysoft.net/lux/download/

File -> Map Editor from inside there, like someone said.
