ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ 3. Trademarks ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ
Battle Isle 2 is a registered trademark of Blue Byte Software GmbH
ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ 4. README ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ
You can edit a Battle Isle 2 mission file with this program. You can change
grounds, objects and vehicles. While using this program you will see many time
a red hex with a yellow questionmark. For this type of hexcell i was not able
to make a bitmap up to now. While time goes by there will be less and less
questionmarks ( I hope ) ;-)
It may be hard to edit a large mission file on a screen with low (640x480)
resolution. Sorry for you.....
So be careful and use the program as it is ! You can write your suggestions via
EMAIL to 100756.2570@compuserve.com. You maybe get never a response, but i will
try my very best.
! STOP NUKES !

ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ 6. Limitations ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ
Well, there are more limitations than things that you can do. Here are some of
the limits:
- Not all bitmaps are drawn up to now.
- Only some basic editing of containers
- No possibility of changing game conditions
- Its very difficult to edit a large map on a small screen
- Very slow generation of the map
and more.......
ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ 7. Mousebuttons ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ
Left mousebutton Select the hexcell you want to edit.
When clicking again in the selcted hexcell and this hexcell is a container,
you can edit this container.
Right mousebutton Copy the data of the actual selected hexcell to the clicked
hexcell.
ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ 8. Container ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ
Container are factories,cities and other buildings. You can edit some basic
data of containers in the following way:
Select the container with the left mouse button. Click in the selected hexcell
with the left mouse button again. You should get the 'Edit container' dialog.
ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ 9. Actions ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ
Under the menuitem Actions, you can delete all current present objects or
vehicles, change the value of the ground to some selected styles and generate a
new map.
ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ 10. Generate new map ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ
You can generate a complete new map, but there are some limitations. There are
only two victory conditions, the first for the red player: Extinct all blue
forces, the second for the blue player: Extinct all red forces.
For all other troups is no victory condition generated.
ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ 11. Known bugs ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ
This is a list of known bugs that i'm aware about and which i will fix
someday...
- If a container is created for a troup which is not on the map, this
troup appears like a human opponent with no vehicles. So be carefull
with the creation of new container. Make sure that this container is
for red or blue.
- There are some trouble with new containers. I haven't found the reason
up to now.
