World-Altering Editor: Difference between revisions

Latest revision as of 20:05, 13 April 2025

The World-Altering Editor (WAE) is a modern map editor for the second-generation of classic Command & Conquer games, from Tiberian Sun through Yuri's Revenge. Distributions are pre-configured to work with either TS or RA2, with near endless customizability from there.

To make it familiar for existing mappers, the editor is designed to follow the FS/FA2 UI design, but with modernizations and changes to make the editor smoother and more efficient to use. The editor includes practically all tools present in FS/FA2 and a significant number of new ones. Many familiar tools have significant quality-of-life improvements. These improvements make it much more efficient to create maps with WAE than the old FS/FA2 map editors.

WAE is graphically more demanding than FS/FA2, but can also utilize modern hardware much more efficiently, meaning that if you have a decently modern computer, WAE achieves smoother performance with better graphical quality.

To run WAE, you need the following:

.NET 8 Desktop Runtimes.
DirectX 11 compatible GPU, with a recommended 2GB of VRAM.
64-bit Operating System.

The editor is licensed under the GNU General Public License, version 3. If you create and publish a derivate, you need to also release your source code for the fork. Please see LICENSE.txt for more details.
