Can someone please help me locate the worldbuilder, I have tried everything. Running Windows 8.1 Pro 32 bit.

Worldbuilder was definitely present on my old pc (xp). Does the bfme2 download/install from t3a include the worldbuilder? If not, I have BFME2 on disc, and just installed a disc reader to this pc, so I *could* reinstall if that's whats required, but I'm guessing t3a's download of BFME2 includes the worldbuilder somewhere, I am just unable to find it by searching (also I am unaware if my discs version would work with t3a online, I would presume so, but IDK as I have never tried).

It doesn't seem to be anywhere, I believe I have 'show hidden folder and files' enabled. Would prefer not to uninstall/reinstall if I don't have to and I'm guessing that has nothing to do with it, but I thought, maybe.

Please, assistance is greatly appreciated. Thanks.

It's in the same exact location as in every other operating system - it's in the game's directory once installed.

 

And yes, your legit discs will work on T3A:Online.

It should be here.

Thank you guys for the replies..but it is NOT there. I know that is where it SHOULD be, from years ago installing the game on my old machine.

It is not where it should be. Hence, this post. Searches of my PC have turned up nothing.

Any solutions? Thanks.

Yes it does. You should also patch to the latest official patch 1.06 and eventually consider resinstalling if something went wrong. See https://forums.revor...allation-guide/

On the disc, Worldbuilder.dbgcmd and Worldbuilder.exe are found within 1compressed.zip. Try manually moving those to your BFME2 directory.

 

For RotWK, they're in 0compressed.zip, and for BFME1, they're in compressed.zip.

Interesting, I popped in the disk (bfme2, haven't installed RotWK in some time, might tomorrow) and there was "0compressed.zip" but all it had in it was data > cursors: new cursor, one ring (files), that's it.

So, now this is bizarre.

I appreciate the replies. The game runs fine, for which I'm very thankful, I play SEE with a friend. Just been looking for the worldbuilder to edit starting CP and resources, for some maps to be playable ( due to things like inability to build farms and other such things). And for fun, hehe.

Regards

Edit: Ah, just clicked the disc (on accident, after looking at what was on it) and got a "before installation, close programs" message, and had the realization that, it probably has to install from the discs to have the worldbuilder there? I don't know, haha. At any rate it's interesting I can do a fresh disc install when the game is already installed xD, but I guess they're different versions? Idk. I'm very interested in installing it by disc to see if the worldbuilder shows up and also to see if it fixes another problem with a certain map not loading/transferring for us...but don't want it to compromise the already working version of the game in any way, though I don't see why it would.

Another Edit: Explored the other install discs (without installing). Found application called Worldbuilder on Disc 5 and the other one you mentioned Worldbuilder.dbgcmd on disc 6. Thanks for this, good thinking! I will try moving them manually and we'll see what happens. Thanks!

Ah, you have the 6 CD version. Yeah, the game files are distributed among them to fit, so it's a bit hard to anticipate where they are if you've never had that variant of the game (legit)...

It worked, the worldbuilder launches correctly after I placed the files you named in game directory!

Gentlemen, I thank you.

 

Now if I can just get Glorfindel23's "Minas Tirith The White City" map (the only vertical one I've seen) to transfer/load for my buddy and I, it always stays at zero percent on the transfer start up (we both have the map in the right folder anyway, tried removing and transferring, no luck yet)...most maps work.
Also, sadly, can't seem to open "Castles of Middle Earth" in Worldbuilder, it has an exception or several. Perhaps with some tinkering and some luck I can change these two so we can play them!

Sorry, not trying to change topic, just, those are the only other problems left now I'm having, and of course, they happen to be (to me, that I've seen) like the coolest maps or they would be if I can edit them to playability. Perhaps they would work in RoTWK for some random reason...

 

Thanks again for your prompt responses. Cheers, hope you gents have a good day!

 

Update: We got Glorfindel23's "Minas Tirith the White City" map to work by using the disc 1 when I hosted the game! This is the best Minas Tirith map I have seen.
