Introduction
Welcome to the home page of the Descent: Journeys in the Dark Campaign Editor.
Even though the software is free, I ask that you do not upload it elsewhere on the internet. I want people to be able to find the latest version in one location.
News Flash
Descent Edit is dead! Long Live Descent Edit!
The current version of descentedit is done. No further work on will be done.
The next version will be written in Flash (ie web based and cross platform) and be officially released by FFG!

FAQ
- Where are the Well of Darkness pieces?
- You have to tell the editor that you are using the Well of Darkness. This screen shot should be self-explainatory:
- Why do all of the map pieces get scrambled when I output it as a PDF?
- There is a small bug in the code. To get around it, simply save the map first and then output it. Why people try to output stuff without saving first is beyond me....
- Is there a version that supports MacOS 10.3 or earlier?
- Maybe. Try the version posted above. If it works, let me know and I'll adjust the system requirements. If it doesn't and you are willing to run some experiements, email me.
- "Where can I put the scenario?"
- http://www.fantasyflightgames.com/descent_quests.html
- I started too close to the edge. How can I move my entire map to make more room.
- You don't The drawing area will automatically extend in all directions. Just place your piece on the map and move it to where you want it.
- Is there a users guide?
- Not yet. There are help bubbles in the editor. Hold your mouse pointer over a button to see what it does.
- What does the program output?
- The programs saves the data as a metakit database. It can also output the campaign as a PDF.
- How do I contact you?
- Praise, constructive critisism, questions and bugs can be emailed to mezebrowski@aol.com. I can also be reached on the Descent message board here
- What is it written in?
- TCL/TK with the IMG, and BWidget packages. It is all wrapped as a Starpack.
- Is it Open Source?
- No. Nor will I consider making it Open Source. (I'm following all of the licenses of the packages that I am using.) If anyone presses the issue, I'll simply take the software down. It is not a hassle that I want to deal with.
