Like the in game Map, but to hard? want to make it Free Build, ETC. ETC.? Then use Free Hex editor and make the changes You want save them and play! once you strip the file and save it, you will only have 1 shot at editing it. When you save it, Mapmaker will make it uneditable! (Unless you do the stip thing again) So back up your stripped files before you edit and save! Also if you mess up a map it will cause your game to crash, if it does delete the map! and rerun the game. I have incuded screen shots of the editor, and what to do! Have fun!
ONLY SAVE MAPS TO STRONGHOLD 2 IN YOUR DOCUMENTS & SETTINGS FOLDER!
Ok sry to bother you guys but i am an extreme noob and i have no idea how to work this. i've got it downloaded but i dont know how to strip it. all i see is a bunch of numbers like 01 b8 k9 stuff like that. PLEASE HELP!!

Hex editor is awesome, but since it's only a demo version Notepad will prove more useful in most cases.

This can be really handy for those that want to place a few scripted events into a freebuild. ah, the good old days of switching map types in the original stronghold game. if you can somehow make this an addon that lets you change map types in the editor that'd really be nice. I'm not so concerned about editing locked maps, rather than locking my own before submission.

An awesome program
Additional Comments:
I am so glad you found this program now i can edit grasslands, u.s.a, Volcano, Viking Island, Kill Barclay,etc. But the only thing i dont like about the hex editor is that you wont be able to edit campaign maps. Take that back a found a way to edit campaign maps and will soon make a easy war campaign and hard war campaign map pak for everyone to download. Just kidding never mind

Greetings Lord Cabosse, unzip the file to somewhere you can find it then look for the file 'RUNME TO VIEW.html' this gives detailed step by step instructions with pictures and is not too hard if you take your time and read carefully.

If you go to the map's properties and make sure read only is off you are able to edit maps that wont you let you strip them.
